In January I shared my disappointment in the Galaxy Tab. Today I learned that the Blackberry Playbook will be released April 19th. When I returned my Galaxy to Sprint, my rep informed me that he added my name to the Playbook pre-order list. I saw an ad on the Blackberry site claiming that Best Buy was their choice for pre-ordered Playbooks. Such confusion.
Earlier today I also read that Sprint is releasing the EVO View 4G in June which is being touted as the "Big Brother" to my current EVO 4G phone. With Scribe digital pen technology and the 4000 mAh battery (same as Galaxy Tab which lasted all day for me), I may be able to finally replace my old Toshiba Portege M400 "old school" tablet which is on its 3rd battery.
I have not seen a release date for the View as of yet but plan to speak with my Sprint rep tomorrow to clarify the "Best Buy Playbook" ad and the View release date.
I have not had my EVO smartphone a year yet and already there have been 2 potential replacements;
1. EVO Shift (cool keyboard)
2. EVO 3D (do I really need to capture 3D video)
I remember blasting Sprint just a few years ago for not release new devices quickly enough. "My, how they've grown".
Although I am leaning towards the EVO View for my table choice, I have been using Blackberry devices since my Skytel 850 so the Playbook deserves a "look" for loyalty sake.
Stay tuned for my Playbook review in the next few weeks and the "bake-off" between the Playbook and the View.
Throw in the iPad2's a few of our customers have recently ordered and it looks like our team will be busy in the 2nd quarter. Gotta Love It!
