    the only way that they will be any cheaper than this is if RIM decide to completely discontinue them. They are releasing the next version of the operating system in feb 2012 so there are no plans for this.

    Wow so tempted to treat myself as I've been looking for a tablet. Will this have updates for operating systems etc? Not that great with techy stuff. Thanks

    haha sherbert123. yes.. considering that HP sold its tablet for a couple of quid less when they were discontinuing them, this is a really good price.

    i dont know if the OS updates will be out of the box. but if blackberry phones are anything to go buy, it will just be a case of doing it via blackberry desktop on your pc, which is mega easy.

    I got one of these when they were on the £150 deal, would really recommend it. (especially if you've already got a blackberry phone).

    If I wasn't after an Adroid tab, I'd definately pick one of these up. Echoing thatlemming, these are great if you have a blackberry phone

    What do these things actually do?! Does it have the same uses as a laptop? My son has a blackberry but I don't know how useful this would be?
