And you can register to win one right now. While I don’t necessarily want to ruin my own chances at getting this thing, it’s only right that you know about it as well. It’s a giveaway that Samsung is hosting in honor of the phone’s release on the T-Mobile USA network, and they’re boasting some pretty big numbers. They’re planning on giving a phone away every hour, for the next few weeks. If the calendar on the website is accurate, the giveaway will end on December 23, at 12:00 AM. So more accurately, December 24th. That’s a lot of phones.

If you’re rusty on the new TouchWiz device, here’s what we’ve got: a 3.2″ AMOLED display; Android OS; TouchWiz 2.0; a 5.0 MP camera; expandable memory up to 16GB; and visual voicemail. It’s running Cupcake under there, too, just for the record. The phone itself hasn’t received the greatest of reviews, and many people are referencing the Cube UI (a quick navigation unit that allows you to choose six different features along the face of a rotating cube) as merely a gimmick and nothing more, but let’s face it: it’s free. Suggested retail price, so says T-Mobile, is $449, if that helps sway your decision any.

A free phone is hard to pass up. A featurephone that’s running Android OS underneath a pretty neat UI should be impossible to pass up. Even if you’re just planning on selling the thing if you happen to win. The giveaway is going on as I write this, and the link can be found here, and at the bottom of the page. Just go through the quick and painless registration (and remember to check your email for the confirmation email), and then you’re good to go. There’s a huge countdown clock right on the front page, letting you know when the next winner is going to be announced, so you shouldn’t miss anything important.
