the way it works is quite simple, they only give a very limited number away (say 50), and when everyone else complains they bring your attention to the "while stocks last" issue. so then you want to leave and they bring your attention to the legally binding 12/18 month contract you've already agreed to. this is a very cheap way to lure fools, if you're daft enough to think a £20/month BB contract will get you a free laptop you deseerve to be with aol.
