    Hi Gaz­pache — You don’t sound stu­pid at all. That’s a legit­i­mate ques­tion. In short, a tablet device whether it be a Black­berry Play­book, iPad, etc. is a per­sonal com­puter that is slim, flat, and has many key fea­tures that a reg­u­lar com­puter has(ie: Inter­net Brows­ing). Main dif­fer­ence is that it’s equipped with a touchscreen.

    I per­son­ally have an ipad and use it for things like shar­ing photo’s, brows­ing the inter­net and watch­ing movies when I’m travelling.

    Jo…Yes I got my con­fir­ma­tion #. It says wait­ing on ship­ment. Every­one is expect­ing another ship­ment so prob­a­bly only have so many units for that. When I went back to site to check it was all sold out. Patiently waiting~

    How do RIM employ­ees get an extra $100 credit? Does any­one know? If that’s true (as per Blessed’s post), than that’s an even more amaz­ing deal.

  8. anita

    does any­one else chap­ters order still say in progress?
    I ordered on fri­day night.

  9. jo

    yes, still in progress, just called them. they say it is since 2 week deliv­ery and that a con­fir­ma­tion shud be com­ing by 1 pm.

  10. Catherine

    I just called chap­ters and they processed it right away she did tell me that they are OVERLOADED with orders to process, but I got my con­fir­ma­tion email with the order num­ber now. Hooray! can’t wait!

  11. Lizzy

    I was just told by Chap­ters that they would be actu­ally mak­ing an order for the play­books as they were not tech­ni­cally “in stock”.…that’s why they need the 2 weeks.…I hope that means every­one who ordered before it was “out of stock” will get it!

  12. carnation

    For all those who ordered thru bell

    car­na­tion– are the play­books still avail­able onlineÉ

    Jen­nifer: I would have to check the web­site. We don’t have stock infor­ma­tion. If it is listed on the web­site then they are still avail­able for sale.

    car­na­tion: does the site update stock information

    Jen­nifer: No, if it is on the web­site, we are still sell­ing it, if they stop sell­ing it, they remove the item from the website.

    Jen­nifer: I am check­ing right now
    car­na­tion: just curios as to how bell has them in stock as all other retail­ers have put it on backorder

    Jen­nifer: I have no infor­ma­tion about avail­able stock. If the item goes on back order after your order is placed, you will be sent an email to let you know.

    car­na­tion ok

    I have given up…called Future Shop, Best Buy, Bell Stores…everybody has been out of stock…some since Friday.

  15. Rimma

    I spoke to a Best­Buy employee and he men­tioned that they are expect­ing a new ship­ment on fri­day this week and he said that from what he has been told they will keep the price going into next week.
    What is weird is that the Black­berry web­site is sell­ing them, with free ship­ment, for $349 but they are adver­tis­ing the $199 price at all these stores… very peculiar..

  16. Kailyn

    I’m also intrigue by how Bell.ca is going to be pro­cess­ing the mass amount of orders. They still have it avail­able on their site, I ordered mine last night, still no con­fir­ma­tion or sta­tus update. I am skep­ti­cal to see if it gets completed.

  18. dolphin lover

    bell.ca is where u get it!! i ordered 1 last night and it sais 3 to 5 busi­ness days til i get it at my door!!!!

  20. dissapointment

    hey folks,

    Went to bell store today, asked about the play­books. He said they had like 200, all gone. I felt bad for him because he was gonna pick on up for him­self and even he missed out!

    I asked him about bell.ca, and he said that he ordered online, got a con­fir­ma­tion, but then was given notice of a refund because the ware­house is out of stock.

    So it looks like every­one is offi­cially out of options. If any­one hears of any stores get­ting ship­ments please share.

  21. KRISTA

    I just bought one about an hour ago from bell.ca and received a con­fir­ma­tion to my inbox — just hop­ing they can deliver. Best Buy just put up another 895 of back stock but I had already pur­chased from BELL.
    They were gone in 20 min­utes. Good Luck.
    Thanks for the post about BELL!

  23. meeee

    The local wal­mart here got a ship­ment of 10 in on mon­day, they are sold out again, but check your stores. Most are get­ting a few in here and there.

  26. pink_panda

    if you’re going to buy from black­bery directly, use coupon code: 09OLTY12
    and get $10 off!

    so that’s $189.99 for the playbook!!!!!

  28. Michele

    YAY…It’s shipped! Now I’m think­ing I may keep this for myself!:)
