Yea the dummy units tip was sent in as well but I guess BGR is selective and only chooses those that it deems noteworthy, which is good I guess. I wish had the same contest here cause I tried the Vodafone one and was a$$ed out when it didn't go through lol. Side note...I'm glad Verizon did not take the same approach as Vodafone and placed its logo on the back instead of on the front of the device. It looks a lot more appealing and less tacky that way.

The contest ends on October 25th with the drawing on October 28th. I wonder if these dates coincide with the launch dates? Unfortunately (for me, at least) the drawing is only open to UK residents. C'mon VZW, how 'bout a similar contest here!! (heck, forget the contest....just release the phone already!) The site actually says it is giving a total of 20 away!

From the contest T's and C's: "Text entries: Send an SMS stating 'storm' to 83669 by 23.55 on 25.10.08. In-store entries: Enter at a Vodafone Store by 25.10.08. Speak to store adviser about entry" For those not familiar with european date conventions, that's October 25th. BTW, contest is open only to people in the UK.
