Nice way of offloading their product and create the +ve hype. Hope their phone is better than the earlier one.

2 year contract? Ouch

Thats for the phone rite. In US everything is tied with contract. Then its fine. What about employees in India...guess tied with Airtel.Cel.Voda. Thats a shame.

MS earlier also had handed out WP7 devices to employees worldwide, not sure if this was before others or after.
