If you’re planning support our Canadian tech pride and joy Research In Motion and grab hold of the BlackBerry PlayBook tomorrow you have several options. First, here’s a full list of the Canadian retailers who are selling this tablet: Bell, Best Buy, Chapters / Indigo, Costco, Future Shop, London Drugs, Mobilicity, MTS Allstream, Rogers, Sasktel, Sears, ShopBlackBerry.com, Staples, Telus, Tbooth Wireless, The Source, Videotron, Walmart, WIND Mobile, WIRELESS etc., and WIRELESSWAVE.
As you can see there is absolutely no shortage of places to go but most outlets will start officially selling the PlayBook online at midnight. It seems like this will be available on every corner and everywhere you look. The prices range depending which model you go for and will not change on launch day but you can bet there will be some sort of price drops/promos within the next few weeks: 16GB PlayBook with Wi-Fi is $499.99; 32GB PlayBook with Wi-Fi is $599.99 and 64GB PlayBook with Wi-Fi is $699.99.
In addition, we’ve been informed that a couple carriers such as Rogers and Mobilicity have started to take orders already and that you can expect the PlayBook to arrive at your door within a couple days. Probably faster to walk down the street to one of the local outlets above. Various locations such as Staples, Sears, Future Shop and Best Buy are all opening the doors for 7:00am. Best Buy is even offering up the opportunity for the first 50 people in line will be entered to win (Toronto Yonge/Dundas location only).
