After participating in one trial where they put a firmware on general release even though there were bugs reported in the testers private forum and later just no response at all from VM to a series of reports from people I rather think the trials are just eye-candy. They'll probably just rely on the same internal testing which resulted in the release of the thing in the first place with a shedload of bugs. Investigating customer reported bugs (which may not be bugs at all half the time) costs money.
