The Carphone Warehouse reckons it will be able to sell you one of RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook a day ahead of the tablet's 16 June UK debut.

CW isn't the only retailer willing to take your PlayBook order ahead of time, but today it said it will show off the gadget at its Selfridge's concession on Wednesday, 15 June when it will be "offering advanced availability".

The new tablet with built-in Wi-Fi support comes in three variations: a 16 GB model will be available at £399, a 32GB model at £479 and a 64GB model at £559.
