I've just got one yesterday...... Patiently waiting for my despatch email now! :j

Checked out some video reviews on youtube and it seems perfect for what I want - browsing on the move, answering my online shop emails etc.

I can't believe the price, the 64gb model was around £450 when they came out a year and a half ago?

I got mine. I am verry impressed, especially at this price. Higly recommended. It's a steal.:j

The 64gb are only another 20 quid to buy on Ebay,I know 20 quid is 20 quid,but it's not a massive saving buying it from currys,i don't feel like i need one now lol

You could get this, or a much better Google Nexus 7 for £159. BB is dead. https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_8gb

That's what I said, but at 64gb, you can't go wrong. Its worth it! Even at minimum wage, you' have to roughly work 21 hours to earn the £129 so that's no bigge.

For the general rubbish everyday (read non-power) user, the playbook should be just fine. The Nexus comes with all the bells and whistles. Price drop should be in place at the end of October, provided the iPad mini launches mid Oct.

You can go wrong. Its a dead tablet, who in their right mind would buy something that is dead?

Load of rubbish. RIM have said they will have their next OS running on it. For what most people will use it for, ie Internet and media player, it is ideal and about 20% cheaper than the Nexus.

I have just reserved one of these. I did want an Ipad, but for what I will be using it for, I think this will suit me. Is there much difference between a 32gig and a 64gig?
I reserved the 64, but am wondering if I will need it. I am planning on using it to watch films when I'm travelling mainly. Thanks
