These YouTube super-users say they're receiving the "superphone" along with this note:

Dear YouTube Partners,

We're pleased to present you with this gift of a Nexus One phone, the new Google-branded mobile device sold only online at google.com/phone. There are no strings attached, it's just our gift to you for being such an important part of the YouTube Partner Program.

It's not clear whether everyone in the partner program is receiving a phone or just a select few (the note implies everyone, we think). That strategy makes sense: YouTube partners have huge influence on the site and may use their phones to film video clips, spreading the message further.

[Thanks Val for the heads up]
