I agree with Willie on the Bilbo/Gollum thing. But Sam did put on the Ring; he used it to hide from some orcs, I believe. I'm not sure about this either, but I do seem to remember something about Sam pulling off the Ring...and something about the Ring sharpening his senses. Sam was able to give the Ring to Frodo because, though it tempted him, he realized that it was all lies and deceit and he had seen what it had done to Frodo and Gollum. Besides, his love and concern for Frodo overruled all his other emotions and drives. My Sam.
