It is fairly common for people to be *loaned* review units by the company hoping for a review, yes. If the reviewer damages or loses the unit, the reviewer must pay for it, of course.
All you have to do is get known for writing thorough, factual, interesting reviews of new technology that a lot of people like to read, and you too can get lent free stuff. But be aware you usually have to fund your own startup costs (the review units for the reviews you write that spark such attention and build a following), that reviewing units and writing reports takes quite a bit of time, and that you usually don't get paid, or don't get paid much, for the time you spend, aside from your intrinsic pleasure in borrowing bleeding edge technology and learning and writing about it.
If it still sounds good to you--go for it! We could always use more people striving to write the best review.
