So how does one get involved? It's real easy. Simply purchase either Nokia Windows Phone, register the device through Nokia Poland's website and you'll receive an email within 30 days. The promotion is valid through January 15th (register your purchase by February 15th), so you've got plenty of time to act.
Update: Turns out, this deal is also available in the UK. Thanks to AlphaDeltaZ and Jamie D. Hunt for pointing this out!
