Companies are always in danger of alienating some of their customer base when they offer a deal to a certain few but I don't believe for one moment it was random, there will be some science to their decision. And adding 1000 users will help the momentum when the next quarterly figures are announced for sure but I fancy there is something very client specific that helped them choose.

Great if you got one though, well done!
It's only worth £149 or more if at the end of the day you own it. To pay £149 to be able to borrow a piece of kit that you never own, and never would want to own since it's useless off the Virgin network, is nothing short of daylight robbery.
