Free Galaxy S (not a joke)

Samsung offers free phones to frustrated iPhone users - CNN.com

..if you're a "frustrated iPhone 4 owner."

From what I understand, the people who do the advertising for Samsung in the UK (Conde Naste) where the bloggers who got the free Samsung phones. And those 4 people happen to work the sub-brand of the company that works for Conde Naste. And the news happen to break from Wired magazine, again, a Conde Naste company. Does that strike you kinda of odd.

Samsung seems to only give out phones to certain bloggers and twitters.

That seems underhanded, on the face of it.

I'm wondering, though, if that convenient demographic for the company is a sort of "taking care of our own" before getting it out to the general frustrated iPhone 4 population.
