They don't know what they are talking about. A) the passport doesn't have the band's to support the CDMA Verizon uses for Celluar service. If for some reason they did allow it on the network you would only to be able to use it as a tablet. Verizon did test the passport out but they passed on it and that's why Blackberry didn't build them to work with Verizon.
