This isn't a demo unit (more then likely). This is a retail unit that was given (as insentive for future large purchases) to someone who works for a big company with a good/large business plan with VZW. The corporate rep has a good relationship with this client and more then likely is trying to sweeten something up by letting this one client have a new 8130 a week before the official release. It's not unheard of, but it's rare. At least this is what I gather from everything he's posted. Also, the DEMO units usually are not branded and have "Property of RIM" tags on the back. This one doesn't appear to have it.
That being said, the limited GPS options on the GPS screen leads me to belive that GPS in not unlocked on this unit. Lame... once again VZW rams us in the you know what.
