Wuz up everyone. This one went fast didn’t it? Telus firesale on the Playbook 16/32 GB models was supposed to last 1 week; however, they apparently sold all stock after 1 day. The PlayBook has been remove entirely from their website where just yesterday it was there.
I really really want to get updated numbers on how many Playbooks are out there.

I managed to score one of the last 32GB PB’s in my city. Such an amazing price for a HIGHLY underrated tablet. Can’t wait for 2.0 to finally drop.

Hi Jay,
Ty from RIM here. I’m as excited as you are for PlayBook 2.0 to arrive, and happy to hear you snapped up a 32GB PlayBook before they sold out. Nice work! In case you haven’t seen it yet, check out this video we shot at CES focusing on some of the new features of PlayBook 2.0: http://bbry.lv/wy6SUS.
Cheers,
Ty, RIM Social Media Team

Hi Ty! Ya, I saw that video just after it was released. 2.0 looks awesome. I look forward to going to CES someday and checking out the latest and greatest gadgets.
We’ve been hearing Feb 17 is 2.0 day. Any word if that’s gonna happen? Thanks!

Sorry to hear that Michael. It was definitely not a well managed promotion and it looks like Telus has removed the PlayBook from their site/stock completely. Hopefully you’re able to grab one at a decent price from somewhere else.
