These are MTN'S Internet bundle plans. Subscribe time anyone of your choice. Note their data limits so you don't over use.

souljaboi51: Dnt really like the play book, wanted apple but unfortunately, the person i sent bought the wifi only version and there is no way of returning it since nobody is travelling. So, that's where am stuck

even if you get an ipad with sim card slot, it'll still suck the same amount of data, so getting a 3G ipad isn't the solution to your problem.

You can subscribe for MTN Internet bundles on the same line you have your BIS, though not too cheap at least it's cheaper than "Pay as you go" browsing you're doing now.

If paying for those data plans is too expensive for you or you want to browse on a tablet with your unlimited BIS , then like others have told you, you shoulda gotten a playbook.

^^^dude, it's not possible.

Naa was oo, people shouldn't fall for this scam. I hope anybody considering doing business with this foolish Desmond will Google his name and find the numerous crimes he's committed. So many Nigerians are just gullible. It's always good to research someone before you commit money to them.

For his defenders on this thread, they are scanners too, thank God they have exposed themselves, I see they have all at one time or the other advertised cars for sale, people should beware and never buy anything from them.

Lexusgs430: If you meant the blackberry 9320, it is also 3G enabled.

the 9220 is the new version of 8520 doeant have 3G, its like a 9320 without 3G. Surprised why such a device is being produced in 2012.

Niiade: TCD, how does one get the android player on a 2.0 please. thank you

android player is already there , no need to get anything again.

Niiade: TCD i wanna ask a question. Must one have 2.0 Beta to be able to use android player.

2.0 isn't a beta. Already out since February. It's 2.1 that's in beta zone awaiting release. 2.0 has the Android player.

Chizzybenjamin: @ TCD,
Can u pls help w d fones dat r most compatible with a Playbook.
As in d range of fones to help me no which to get.
Thanks

any 3G blackberry from 9300 upwards is fine. The 9220 isn't 3G even though it runs os7.1 so beware.

^^^^ the os 2.1 isn't officially out yet. It's still in the beta testing phase and the beta doesn't have those goodies up there. If they eventually release the os I'll check out the tango stuff if I can find the bar file.

^^dis one no be compete. He just went there to participate.

Fhemmmy: Chief, we will see what we could work out, cos you be my big chief . . . i honestly did not know you are still interested, i no fit leave you in the dust, we will work something out for sure.

Fhemmmy: Chief, you never said you actually wanted the phone now, you only inquire and i no see your break light since then . . .

abeg o, so all my waiting is going to be in vain. . I agreed to the 9360 deal you offered me in lieu of the other scarce one, I even called Mr niran to inquire about courier to me since you said I'll be responsible for .

Racheed: HELP ANYONE, TCD. A few of my android apps have stopped connecting to the internet i.e those ones that connect thru the native android browser e.g skyfire, dolphin browser, tubemate, soccer tv abbl. The last time it happened i reloaded my O.S. Dont wanto have to do that again. Thanks in advance

i have never experienced this before, don't get what could be wrong. Have you tried a hard reset? Since reloading the OS worked last time give it a try again.

Pls give him the white . I've been waiting for weeks for the black.

Lexusgs430: You are lucky that your IP address is routed through the UK. Tmobile UK have routed their BIS connection through their headquarters (Germany), hence BBC Iplayer would only work through wifi and not BIS.
So if MTN answers your USA prayer requests , that is Iplayer out of the windows for you!!!

bro, I'll gladly give up the BBC iplayer for the American variety of stations. BBC 1, 2, 3,4 are just depressing.

Jarmzone: Please how do connect to the internet via tethering... pardon my ignorance oh... I'm very new to the PB club. Thanks

dude, you want to browse on your PB using your MTN BIS Abi? Then what you need to do is bridge. Read the link posted for how to go about it.

Still on streaming, if you're a music lover like me, then you should download the VEVO app. It's a music app where you can watch music videos (both old and latest ones) of artistes on demand. Just like having MTV right there in your pocket only this time you can choose what you want to watch.

Has all the popular musicians you can prolly think of. They are arranged according to name and under each you can watch all their old and new music videos with just a click.

And yes, the caveats above also apply here especially needing a good 3G connection.

Oh, forgot to put some necessary caveats in my first post.

1. Do not bother trying this if you don't have a good 3G connection. If you're using EDGE don't waste your time. It's easier for a came to pass through the eye of half a needle.

2. Do not try this if you use any other network apart from MTN. Worse if you use Airtel. Streaming video is a serious data consumer. For example on a good day, watching hours of docs on youtube, shows, watch the news on BBC live, at the end of the day I check my data traffic app on my BB used 2 to 3 GB on the average. If it's on the day one of my female friends decides to turn my PB into Africa Magic and watch countless Full Nollywood movies on youtube, by the end of the day can get up to 5GB. So if you're on Etisalat, GLO, Airtel except you want to finish your data allowance in one day, stay away.

3. While watching away and enjoying yourself, it's good to have your phone plugged to a power source, plug the PB too if you can. Although it's not compulsory for the PB. Did a test and my PB took me through 7 hours of continuous streaming nonstop from full battery till automatically shutdown. This was with bluetooth headset also connected at the same time. The blackberry phone in the other hand is another story, as we all know 3G drains the battery of the bb phone fast. So its best to have your phone plugged in somewhere, even if it's to your laptop or desktop computer.

4. Erm, what again , if I think of another warning I go tell una.

spoilerx: Abeg where do u stream matches/movies on ur playbook? Please I need the website

The playbook is an all round entertainment device, infact carry mine as a mobile entertainment and information hub. This is made possible by MTN's wonderful unlimited BIS, God bless their souls.

For streaming, the first most obvious one would be youtube, has a wide array of different content in every field of life. I love documentaries alot there are thousands on youtube. Same for comedy shows and clips. I also remember watching covenant university's last convocation via their live stream on youtube, so it goes with reason that live streams can be watched via youtube.

For sport streams, last may I viewed the Uefa champions league final live on my PB using livetv.ru. Havent tried them since then though. Wanted to see if i could view some during euros unfortunately was busy during that period.

Now, the one I'm mainly into after youtube is watching TV streams using Tablet Tv app. The beauty of this app is it has a wide array of channels grouped according to countries. From ABC, NBC, FOX, MTV, CNN , Disney channel, BBC eetc etc. Unfortunately though these channels are location restricted. Luckily or should i say unluckily for me, the blackberry server handling my BIS traffic happens to be in the Uk, so when bridged, i have a UK IP and as such im only able to access the UK channels like BBC news and the dry BBC 1, 2,3, 4 etc. Wish my bis was routed through RIM's servers in America, i'd be a much happier man.

Sure there are ways to change your ip to whatever country you want using proxy servers but you csn only set proxy servers for when you're on wifi, doesnt work for bridge. Even if it did, i dont trust those proxy people with my information. All your traffic goes through their servers, dont be surprised if someone in russia clears you bank account then you start asking how manage.


Putting some screen shots up of tablet tv in action, first two shows some interfaces in the app, the others show me watching my only fave british channel live, BBC News.

Oga, go and buy a 3G enabled blackberry, stop wasting your time. You cant play any reasonable online video using the curve 2.

benzion72: PLAYBOOK screen can break. I installed a tank war the game is interesting. You are required to fire by clicking the screen the more the click the more the fire. My boy was engrossed in firing until he cracked my sweet PB screen. Please note that game which required banging the screen can lead to cracking of the screen. Please learn from me

wow, I just saw this, does your friend have sandpaper on his fingers? How the he'll did he use just fingers to break screen. I gotta be careful too sef, mine has fallen face down three times from my table to my tiled floor, thankfully no breakage yet. I for vex

Jarmzone: Guys please help a brother out - I have tried to do the Internet tethering with my PB and MTN line but I think I'm doing something wrong. I don't know the username and password it keeps asking me cos I'm on MTN bis.

Thanks guys.

internet tethering and blackberry bridge are two different things. Read this to know how to bridge http://crackberry.com/setting-and-using-blackberry-bridge-blackberry-playbook-20

pcwhiz: TCD i hail o! Av bin readin n followin u since d beginin of ds thread.baba u b my mentor.. Am gettin lyk 50k hopefully by nxtwk mnday but d trouble is dt i reside at kd, is any hope of me gettin a 32g for dt amount at Kd? Pls suggest.tnx

thanks for your kind words boss. I don't sell PB's so can't really say how you can get one in KD. You can contact sellers here on NL anf find out what they can offer you.

efewhoa: please do you have a link i could use in downloading that, cos I got this one from the link you posted.

no i dont. The link i had expired weeks ago. Try searching for it on google.

efewhoa: @TCD, I sideloaded that files and folder app on my playbook, but have been tryng to transfer a file from my playbook to my blackberry, when I cut or copy from the pb and paste on my phone it shows an error message(error #0 or #3000). The message doesn't come up if am transfering from my phone to the pb tho, please what can I do?

not sure why you're having that issue, if you have ruled out inadequate memory issues as the cause, then maybe you should download the latest version 4.1.2 as that has better bridge support.

Nwogbe: Reduce your bleeping rate to the barest minimum if u want to avoid prostrate cancer

some research actually suggests that men who have more sx,ual intercourse have, lower risk of getting prostrate cancer later on life.

.

Btw, anyone sideloading opera mini on playbook is wasting his time. The playbook stock browser seems adequate enough, downloads well, loads multiple pages, fast etc. Although I have about 6 other browser installed, the stock browser does okay for me. Just use the others for certain intricacies. To the fellows looking for opera, download Maxthon browser or dolphin browser HD, those are android sideloads. Maxthon is better than dolphin though

Jarmzone: hello TCD, is it possible to download the file for PB update 2.0 on my laptop and transfer to my PB after?

answered this few pages ago. Its possible under some circumstances.

$350? BlackBerry playbook tablet costs less than that, Google's nexus tablet is $200, amazon Kindle fire $200. And we should buy onyinye Chinese tablets for $350? OYO
