the first version they are going to release is the wifi version. everything seemed to work fine. but obviously, i dont know how they would pin or do any pim functioning with regards to the BES-type of stuff.

there is another article with a good review from the ces show where he states that you have to bridge it from a curent bb device with service.

to me, this means you are expecting the BB service on the tablet as in the device and such the same with the BES services with remote wipe, pim, pin, etc.

i like the tablet like it is and do not care about the bes stuff nor do i need it or wish to pay extra for this service. so his article talks as a negative because it has to link with another service you already have on bb.

the second version is supposed to be a wifi/wimax version and going to be with sprint. sprint is a big supporter of bb devices so that is no supprise. and to relate to the article here, as there are NO HANDSETS WITH VOICE on wimax as of yet, only data cards and other data products, who knows how they expect to have a billing setup or service setup with these new devices on the new networks like wimax and lte.

as for the email, i saw it as liken to the nokia phones, where you would be able to by pass the nokia messaging client and use the standard email client.
