As far as I can tell, BB maps requires BIS to be enabled. And since you don't have a sim in your device, I'd rate thats the problem.

Do I need to have a BIS or BES service in order to use MapField in the code?

I find this to be really silly and kind of unacceptable, so depending on your requirements, I'd consider Google Maps instead.

Use Google Map in Blackberry application

Bing Maps SDK For Blackberry 6.0 (Accepted answer is an example of using Google Maps installed on the device)
