Its been a while since I last heard of any free offer for signing up for a checking account, and personally have never received any freebee, but RBC Royal Bank in Canada has begun offering an Eee PC. Sure its the lower priced 2G Surf edition, but its still a free notebook.
Simply open a Signature No Limit Banking or VIP Banking account you can have your very own Eee PC. A tempting offer indeed, of course living very far away from and not being from Canada, its not one I can take advantage of. So while we here in the US are not still waiting on the iPhone, at least Canadians can rejoice in getting a free Eee PC.

A free Eee PC to sign up for a bank <a href="account" rel="nofollow">http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/personal/current-accounts">account, if we had more offers in the UK like that I think we would be more interested in our personal banking habbits. As it happens personal bank accounts are just a way of getting paid over here.
I agree with Jonny, I just dont see that happening here in the UK, I guess with the new iphone been rolled out in the UK now a lot of bank can have offers on the table, apparently customers always look out of way of <a href="saving" rel="nofollow">http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/personal/savings"/>saving money. I bet that will get me geared up.
