I'm a longtime crackberry addict. I love the way BB handles my multiple email accounts and I've invested over a hundred bucks in thirdparty apps that solve all my PDA needs.

Except a decent integrated browser. I am so frustrated at trying to launch links from twitter and getting blank screens, unconscionably long render times, and/or unreadable pages.

Looking at rim.com's presentation for the Playbook, it looks like the PB only handles BIS/BES connectivity when tethered to a v5 BB. I'm very disappointed that all that development effort went into making building a browser for QNX rather than fixing the one that comes with the handheld. Clearly, the PB is meant as an add-on accessory rather than a replacement for the BB. As if I have pockets big enough (or deep enough) to carry something that size around.

I'm thinking an early termination fee + new contract + DroidX is a better option than extending contract + expensive tablet + carrying a second, bigger device.
