After the RIM’s offer of Buy a Playbook and get 8520 free here comes the another shocker i.e. Playbook 16GB WiFi only @ Rs 20,200/-
Don’t worry this is not RIM’s offer neither its a fraud. What seller is doing is just selling the two items separately i.e. 8520 @ Rs 8800 and PlayBook @ Rs 20,200/-. That way he getting more revenue than selling the bundled offer. Isn’t it smart move from the seller?
