I received this email today:

Dear Developer-

Once qualified, the discount coupon code will be sent to you via email along with instructions on where to purchase the phone.  The coupon code will be valid for 7 days, is non-transferable and will be good for the purchase of one device only, while supplies last.

The phone may only be shipped to a U.S. address and purchased with a credit card with a U.S. billing address. If you cannot provide both, please contact me directly to inquire about programs to support our qualified international developers.

Emailed the information they needed.
Have to thank Gernot, I would have never seen the article if he didn't post.

Don't you just love auto-responders?   

If it is an auto-responder, it takes more than 1 week to auto-respond me

I had a reply effectively every other day which was nice

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one...I'd even promise to make a couple of games for it, but I honestly wouldn't want to pay for it (perhaps because I don't know enough about it?). Could be fun to play around with, though.
I've made about 15 games, or so, but only one in GLB. I wonder if that would convince them it'd be worth sending me one?

[Kitty Hello]

pick the best game. They don't know what language you wrote it in.

Um...

[erico]

is that it?

[Ian Price]

Well, there's a phone in the box (I presume - I haven't checked yet). But other than some bubble packaging, that's it.

I just got in from work and my son had signed for it and left the box on the chair. I'm sitting down with a cuppa before I do anything else. It's been a long day already...

BTW Many thanks Gernot for making us aware of this

Excellent! Palm FTW!

[MrTAToad]

Hope I hear from them tomorrow

congrats! I'm trying it out too, but being foreigner and having nothing "yet"
to show my chances I guess are none, but I want to keep a channel with them if possible...
