Slacker certainly got our attention

Well, Slacker certainly got our attention with this one: the popular streaming Internet radio service has announced that it is covering the up-front cost of BlackBerry Curves – essentially, making them free – for all four major carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. AT&T subscribers will get a BlackBerry Curve 8310, T-Mobile subscribers get the Wi-Fi-enabled Curve 8320, and Verizon and Sprint fans get the CDMA-based, 3G-capable Curve 8330. The giveaway is "in celebration of the overwhelming success of the Slacker Radio mobile application,"
Slacker said on its Web site. At the end of April, the BlackBerry version of the app hit one million downloads. What's the catch? There isn't any, aside from the usual two-year mobile contract shenanigans plus an activation fee of up to $36 per line. If you were to buy these handsets on
your own, they'd all be pretty cheap – averaging $49 up front – but free is better than $49 by a wide margin.
