i got the 16bg version. from playing around with the camera, it is very good quiality but it is horiible in low light situation, something my dslr can handle a lot better due to the sensor. but can be a handy companion to record videos
as for battery life on near full charge (93%) with full brightness and wifi on and having tons of apps open it lasts me like 4.5-5 hours. however the general battery charger given takes along time for it to fully charge
also the power button seems tricky to hit because of a deep depression design, need long nails lol
i have now figured out how to chat on terb chat!
streaming videos:
im able to play all flash/java video files (all major porn sites as well!) but playing divx, vob files are out of the question, i tried downloading the codec onto playbook doesnt recognize it
photos
the back camera is 5 mp, the front camera is 3 mp. again same situation with the video, not good in low light situation, but if theres ample light you'll get a good shot.

http://img217.imageshack.us/i/img00000007f.jpg/- front camera (keep in mind, i did not remove the plastic cover)
from both images you can see that during upload it is very pixalated however when i viewed the pics on the playbook and on my HD monitor and TV it shows a crisp non-pixalated pic
hope this helps!
