Sony Ericsson Free Phone

Is the email about the Sony Ericsson free phone true -- or is it an urban legend or hoax?

Sony Ericsson Free Phone

Our main competitor, Nokia, is giving free mobile phones away on the Internet. Here at Ericsson we want to counter their offer. So we are giving our newest WAP-phones away as well. They are specially developed for Internet happy customers who value cutting edge technology. By giving free phones away, we get valuable customer feedback and a great Word-of-Mouth effect. All you have to do, is to forward this message to 8 friends. After two weeks delivery time, you will receive a Ericsson T18. If you forward it to 20 friends, you will receive the brand new Ericsson R320 WAP-phone.

Editors Note: It is technically impossible to track forwarded email AND no company does business this way.
