Other choices include Galaxy S III, Lumia 920, HTC One X
According to emails collected by Business Insider, CEO Marissa Mayer has offered every Yahoo employee a new Apple, Samsung, Nokia, or HTC smartphone. The plan, called "Yahoo! Smart Phones, Smart Fun" is intended to provide employees with the same class of device that Yahoo users are using.
By way of the obviously morale-boosting program, employees get to pick from the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X, HTC EVO 4G LTE, or Nokia Lumia 920. In addition to the phone, Yahoo will also pay for the employees' data and phone plans as well. Unfortunately for RIM, the move also will discontinue support for the more than 10,000 BlackBerry phones currently in use at the search engine. [via Business Insider]

Ummm..Yahoo doesn't provide anything for smartphones except 20 MB POP e-mail for $20 / year, right?
