Is it yours to keep or have they loaned it to you? I had a little poke around because I was going to pretend to be a Dev to get one, but there were all these rules and stipulations that I couldn't be bothered in the end lol.

I bet you did the Dmitri dance when you got it. Jammy bastad! ;-)
Officially, it's a loan, but I believe that's just for legal purposes. I'm working on the Meego-Harmattan port of cuteTube atm. Freemantle should be getting Qt Components at some point, so I'll be back-porting the Meego-Harmattan version when that happens. In the meantime, I'll still be updating the current Freemantle version.

From my usage so far, I don't think having the hardware keyboard is as much of an advantage in Harmattan as it is with Freemantle. Most of the applications are not optimised to be used with it, which is understandable given that the consumer device uses virtual keyboard only. You cannot use keyboard shortcuts in the browser, for example (e.g jump to top/bottom of page, move to next text field etc). There is also the fact that some of the stock applications (music player, video player, task manager, application list) are portrait only atm. All this could change before the final release, of course.

I'll shut up now incase I breach the NDA.

Some very early screenshots of the Meego-Harmattan version:
