Not really. Since I've been using Google Voice for all my phone communicaton I haven't needed to carry my phone with me. If I'm on the go I'll carry it. Any kind of VoIP that provides an inbound/outbound calling number should work just fine.Do we know if the Playbook will have dual support for CDMA and GSM?
it definately should support both GSM and CDMA if its goin to be on almost all networks

Having both options in one device would be nice. I know Google added support for both in their Chrome notebooks.
Maybe for the PlayBook 2. I just don't see RIM making on solitary device with 2 radios. It would save them on manufacturing costs, so maybe they will eventually consider it.

My line of works requires me to be online most of the time. When we travel overseas to visit family I prefer not switching devices or carrying X gagdet.
I think RIM offering an all-in-one would be very beneficial to business and corporate end-users who are also on the go.

I just don't need anything like that. My line of work does not require me to be online hardly ever, but it would be cool for an all in one device.

also....does anyone think tether will create an app that can be used to tether the playbook to ur bb and use ur bb data?if so, wifi is all i need! ;)
i emailed tether and this is what they sent back....Tether is looking into building Tether for the Playbook once it has been released.
At this time we are unsure if the same registration code will be usable on the Playbook.
Let me know if this answers your questions.

That is awesome. I would be willing to pay for tether without any issues. Wifi only is all I'm getting and until the Bold Touch comes out with the mobile hotspot, this will fit the bill very nicely.

Yes, that would definitely be awesome if the same registration would work but I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, I don't think anything is happening on the BB side, they just have to create the app for the playbook end.
I installed the desktop app on both my laptop and my netbook there is no problem at all. In fact, I think they even say on their website that the registration code is good for life, no matter how many times you change computers or smartphones.

That awesome. I can't wait to be able to use it for the PlayBook.
Being designed for easily mobility, playbook users are more likey to use it (show it off of course) wherever they are. Since you cant carry wi-fi with you all the time, i think it makes more sense to have a lots of connectivity choices for all the mobile users out there.

It totally depends on the person and their needs/wants. Personally, I don't need to have a tablet thats connected all the time because I can do most things on my BB using that data plan. Some people need/want to be connected on their tablet at all times for business or personal reasons. Its simply a matter of weighing out the pros and cons. Connectivity - pro. Monthly payment - con. RIM knows there are many different types of users out there so they will be offering the PlayBook with different connectivity options.
I think that one of the big sellers of the PlayBook is going to be the options that it gives us. It will have a version for every carrier and a wifi only. The last device to do that was the Samsung Galaxy S (minus the wifi only) and it did very well. Granted this is a tablet and the demands for it are going to be much lower, but the fact that everyone on every carrier can get one is a very good thing. Its also going to be ready for the 4G era as it has an LTE version and an HSPA+ version.

Same, if they announce playbook support, it will all but solidify my decision to go with wifi only

To be honest, I'm surprised the iPad doesn't have a wifi only version. I'm sure they would love to get that into every single store possible outdoor.
