They did not say that they have to use them as phones, they are better as paper weights!

Maybe they can't sell them so they give them away and then inflate the numbers to show haw many people own one. Just a thought.

BFD. MS puts phones on their desks right? Ok, so Win7 phones are better than Kins because they can at least give the Win7 phones away.

If memory serves me, Apple did the same for the iPhone. Its good strategy. Make every employee a potential salesperson.
