iPhone 4 Verizon users can't do the iOS 5 beta? What's up with that?

[AppleDavie]

I was reading that Verizon iPhone users can't access the iOS 5 beta. Is there any particular reason why we are left out? And does anyone know how long we will have to wait till we can access it? I love Verizon and I would never switch back to AT&T. I feel like we are the black sheep of the Apple family.

Verizon iPhone 4 owners can use the iOS 5 beta, they just must be a developer. However, Verizon iPhone 4 owners currently cannot use the "Automatic Download" feature because that requires iOS 4.3.3, which is not currently available for the Verizon iPhone.

I've got automatic downloads on a Verizon iPhone 4 running iOS 5 beta....

The only reason Verizon iPhone users cannot use it now is because the VZW iPhone has not been updated to iOS 4.3, it's iOS 4.2.8.

All devices will be caught up with iOS 5 though.
