BlackBerry PlayBook 4G Now On Sprint Website with Summer Release
For those BlackBerry faithful who are holding out for the WiMAX 4G enabled BlackBerry PlayBook on Sprint, a little confirmation has now come as the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G version now has it’s own landing page on the Sprint website.
According to an article over on Crackberry and by way of the Boy Genius Report, this is the first time the 4G WiMAX BlackBerry PlayBook has shown up on Sprint’s website, although there’s no real new information shown.
However the landing page does let us know that the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G version will become available some time in the summer, and there is a “sing up now” button for those who wish to be kept notified when more info is available.
Other than that not much else can be gleaned, but with CTIA kicking off today maybe we’ll learn more from Sprint over the coming weeks, and of course we’ll pass whatever we learn along.
Any of our readers holding out on picking up a tablet so they can get the 4G enabled BlackBerry PlayBook on Sprint?

I am an avid BB user and have been waiting patiently for this device for months. It made news in my house as soon as I heard. I've looking for details all day. The ads for the Playbook are confusing. Does it have 4G or NOT! And what does this mean
BlackBerry PlayBook tablets will offer support for network configurations as follows:
BlackBerry PlayBook with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n + WiMax
BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n + LTE
BlackBerry 4G PlayBook with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n + HSPA+
Is it WiFi or 4G? Can someone help me.
Yes, all 4 configs have wi-fi (Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n). The last three are for Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile respectively (as of now). Not sure where AT&T's "faux G" network fits in. Do they have HSPA+ ?
Can we pair the first model (WiFi only) with a blackberry to get 3G data (get on the internet)? Or is the pairing just for e-mail, BBM, and calendar access?
So the 4G are all locked to the provider + 2 Year Contracts? ugh…
Dare I buy the WiFi only version? At least it would still support tethering right?
rim probably would not do some thing like putting everything on a contract and locking their play books and blackberry products still can be unlocked where as apple products can not
By the time i pair my Blackberry phone with any of the Blackberry playboy, will i be able to operate the BBM chat platform on he Blackberry Playbook with out touching my phone, just don't understand… Pls give me an idea of how the whole thing will look like…
