Motorola DROID giveaway: Part 1
Alright, here we go… We’ll be giving away three of the five Motorola DROIDs in our stockpile in this particular contest, and here is what you will need to know if you’re interested in entering:
We realize that a lot of you have been waiting for an iPhone competitor and that Apple’s device gets a decent portion of the spotlight (you can debate whether it is warranted or not in the comments), but since this is one of the first real alternatives for some people, we thought it would be great if we could help shine some light on the passionate and excited DROID-lovers out there. We’re looking for the best, funniest, strangest, most daring, and even dumbest videos possible featuring you or your friends, and the reasons why you think you deserve to win.
You could go to an Apple or AT&T store and read them the riot act on why you think the DROID is better than the iPhone (removable battery, the network, QWERTY keyboard — whatever) and capture this on camera, you could show us your current phone situation and plead your case, you could shave a BGR and Motorola logo into your head on film — we’re not joking. Whatever you want to do, we are willing to look at. Within reason.
We’ll pick the three most amazing videos we receive and post them in a follow-up post. Here are the official rules:
- To enter, please submit your video by uploading it to a video sharing website like YouTube, Vimeo, whatever your choice is. You may password protect the video if you would like, just be sure to give us access.
- Please email the link to your video to droidvideo at boygeniusreport dot com — if you email us an actual video attachment, we will delete it and not count it.
- This contest is open to anyone in the U.S. over the age of 18 years old.
- By submitting a video to the BGR DROID giveaway contest, you assume all responsibility and liability for your entry and indemnify BGR.
- This giveaway will run for one week, until Friday, November 27th, 2009. We will announce the winners sometime shortly after that.
- Feel free to talk about your submissions or ideas in the comments!

theres my epic video
yes the phone really works.
aww cmon man, no skits? no funny stuff?
ok, i’m gonna do it. . . attempt to make a video somehow since i have the worst cell phone ever! ! ! I MIGHT get my text messages that someone sends me 3-11 HOURS after they’ve sent them. This happens all the time, & yes I’ve purchased another phone ( the same one )( Boost ) There are so many bad things about my phone, I NEED a new dependable( cool wouldn’t hurt ) phone that has the capability to keep up with my life ( my new life-getting divorced (YEAH ) from my obsessive, psycho ( what was I thinking? ! ), soon to be EX-husband, I’m going through chemo-therapy ( just found out about 5 months ago I have endometrial cancer – which is rare for a 31 yr old ), raising a 15 yr old, & a 3 yr old, oh & a chihuahua. . .all with no family near by. So I feel like I deserve to win, something. I will try to do my best video. Good luck to everyone else who enters! !
hey would I be bending the rules if I sent my video in before 12am between Friday and Saturday? lol I really want to enter!!
12am as in midnight…eastern time
well i hope it’s due Friday at 11:59pm, because i’m not finished with my video yet and none of my emails to the BGR staff asking if it’s due earlier have been answered.
woah! lots of submissions so far, some of them are pretty entertaining to boot.
good thing bgr is giving away 3 of these babies!
I’ve only seen about 3..those were easy to find one youtube and I only saw one the was like wow I’d hope they win over me ahahaha but yes tomorrow will be great, i Hope! =D good luck all, the droid hangs in the balance
so far i see 10 videos on youtube. a few of them are pretty darn good
lol what did you type in?
to find almost all of them, just search “droid” and sort by date added.
just sifle through them, the contest entry ones’ descriptions should say that the video is an entry for the bgr contest
submitted =D
hipkik, are you the guy with the video of you tagging your own car?
hope you can get that off
yep…lol yeah that’s gonna be fun, I have to hide it till I get it off
I’ve seen about 1 video, from last night, that I would say is a winner I can’t wait!
Here’s my effort:

I submitted a few days back, but never got around to posting. I’m still too low tech…
LOL i love that 1
Thanks! The idea came to me the moment I read about the contest. Took a few days to put together on my low-tech setup. Turned out way nicer than I planned.
Damn. I know one thing’s for certain.
I didn’t win a Droid in this contest. :’(
