It does reference beta zone but I just logged and didn't see anything. Wonder what this is.

It tells you you can't use Beta Zone, basically No beta software should be running on a Pilot PreRelease device,
They don't want to stack bugs on top of bugs,
They stress that the device is pre retail hardware and software so I would assume that this is going to be only for those large customers who have potential of bringing in a volume of Playbooks, presumable LARGE BES clients.01-28-11 06:28 PMLike 0 -

Yeah. Seems to be for corporate accounts only.

But how can this be? The media has been saying that it was unknown how RIM would sell the PlayBook! There's no way they can use their existing relationships with carriers and retail outlets. My world is coming apart!

The page mentions that VZW will be a "reseller". So it sounds like you will be able to get a Wifi only PB from VZW, but perhaps only if you are an Enterprise client.But how can this be?

Has big red ever sold wifi only devices? It doesn't say anything about wifi that I saw. Have a feeling it could be a mobile version, otherwise why would they be beta testing a production unit...especially if the production rumors are true. Also vzw has never sold or offered devices not on their network or exclusively wifi
My money is on mobile version

You could be right...I was going off this statement on the FAQ and maybe I am reading more into term "Resell"Has big red ever sold wifi only devices? It doesn't say anything about wifi that I saw.

Further up it references that VZW is working with RIM to support the PB and that it is expected in Q2.Is Verizon going to resell BlackBerry PlayBook?�
Verizon is working with RIM on overall support of the BlackBerry PlayBook, however Verizon has not made any public statements or announcements.

Yes but it was heavily marketed and push as paired with their MiFi service
Yea it's on standalone too...I stand corrected...regardless as the wifi versions are in production logic draws me to say its a mobile platform...who knows

And the roadmap says CDMA version available in Q2 so vzw could also be carrying the mobile version...nice catch

I think that is the already announced sprint version. As of about a month ago VZW had nothing in test from RIM and was not even aware of anything coming.
At least not the guys who deal with BB's. PR sometimes know earlier.

They can throw in a curve 3G as the MiFi. This way they get the $29/month data fee for the curve and another $20/month for tethering. Win win for VZW. Heck that's even better than selling a 3g playbook on its own.Yes but it was heavily marketed and push as paired with their MiFi service
