Right now you can do a trial to level 15, (www.swtor.com/trial/) they claim that trials will convert to F2P when it comes out.

That article MiRai linked says "EA President Frank Gibeau revealed that SWTOR subs have dipped below one million but are still "well above" half a million."

They sold over 2 million copies of the game.
