I got a PB today and cannot be more disspointed but maybe you guys have some answers that would keep me from returning this piece of s$?!.
1.- already know att won't allow the bridge connection so it leaves me with just wifi
2.- cannot pair it with my torch for some reason
3.- i cannot download any android apps because i don't have a android phone registered

so what can i use this tablet for?
am i doing something wrong?

1) For now, that is true.
2) Can you clarify? Do you get an error? What are you doing to pair?
3) The PlayBook can't run Android apps yet. Why download?

1) To download the Bridge on an AT&T BB, go to BlackBerry App World - BlackBerry Bridge from your BB (h t t p://bit.ly/blackberrybridge)

NJ, thanks for the update. I just came back to clarify that I have been seeing users posting links and voila! There you were.......

[ejmm22]

thanks, well when i did pair them oncebut i guess it doesn't really make a difference since there is nothing i can do without att authorizing the whole bridge issue

[ejmm22]

njblackberry, phones on att cannot download the bridge. we don't get the "download" button

[NJBlackBerry]

The COD files are floating around. Those CAN be downloaded.

this is called fraud. we waited over a year for a $600 tablet that is good for nothing other than as a media storage (small storage)

[NJBlackBerry]

Contact AT&T - and try the links here http://crackberry.com/att-blackberry-bridge-download

[ZombieBerry]

Go here and download alx and install via DM

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Extract the zip file

Plug in device>Open Desktop Manager

Select Apploader>Add/Remove Applications

Select Add

Browse where the file is

Select the .alx file and Select Open>Select Next

AT&T can only stop you from downloading, not installing and using.

Cheers,

For me its a magnifying glass.For over 10 years I am paying ATT $64.99 a month. my data program is Unlimited international.
and I hardly used it because who can see on 2.5" screen.
now I can injoy it, all my data is on 7".
and ATT can eat there hart, I am going to use it none stop.

[ejmm22]

I still can't install it.
when i type in the link it takes my to the appworld application page without the download button.
When i do the other way, i open the DM but do not get a app loader option

AT&T users who encounter the message that Bridge is not supported on ATT may try this OTA (over the air) links directly from their BlackBerry browser:

You must be doing something wrong, I got the software from the link in post #3 - just checked it and it still connects to the dropbox site perfectly

After I downloaded the bridge and successfully installed on my torch, I went to Staples and set up the bridge on the demo unit with no issues at all - except that the bar code scan wasn't playing nice. I selected manual, my BB picked up the playbook via bluetooth, confirmed the ID number, entered the passcode and done.

I was even able to browse the internet using the 3G from my BB.

For a "beta" unit it seems really nice, but I will not purchase one until:
The AT&T issue is officially settled
They get BES working
They get BBM working
There are some real Apps in Appworld worth downloading
The Android compatibility App is released

Otherwise I will just get a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and call it a day.

I am willing to wait, but not forever, otherwise you never wind up buying a tablet, since a new, better one will be released every 3-4 months.

finally got it!, when i followed the links you guys posted it took me to a blank page all the time, so i finally used my brain and deleted the cache, etc, etc and it worked.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!
