Sometimes I wonder though....Originally Posted by TRINI
I wonder as well. RIM are selling these devices to the ordinary consumer. The scenario is consumer buys it from Best Buy, RadioShack, PC World or whatever, takes it home, finds out it can't do email etc, without another Blackberry device and subscription. Playbook is promptly returned for a refund or exchanged for another tablet without such restrictions. BTW if I actually wanted a tablet. The Playbook not even an option for me, as China Unicom's Blackberry service is extremely expensive and subject to a long contract. The iPad or Galaxy Tab on the other hand are.

Why wouldn't you want phone capability on this? All you'd have to do is pair it with a bluetooth headset and you could leave it on the table to surf the web while you made calls with it. Seems like a win-win.Originally Posted by Rambo
Because people that use bluetooth headsets in public are assholes.

Etiquitte and functionality are two completely different things. I don't like public bluetooth users either but if you were sitting at home surfing the web and a call came in, why the hell not?

It's awesome that it's Ari Gold. I don't really see a lot of people using bluetooth headsets but I really don't give a ****, honestly. I don't see why it's annoying, what's the difference between holding a phone up to your ear and talking in public vs. not holding a phone up to your ear and talking in public.
who is even arguing against phone capability ?Originally Posted by shahanshah
A couple of people on the first page, ie "you don't want to make calls on that thing", Dis referenced some dude with a galaxy tab...

Because it makes things awkward when you start talking back to them and then you see the earpiece.
