If you’ve been on the lookout for a new smartphone for 2010 and is a resident of Australia 18 years or older, then here’s a competition that will make the new year extra special for five lucky Aussies. That’s because Microsoft Australia is giving away five of the state-of-the-art HTC HD2 Windows phones launching in Australia on Telstra during January.
I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t want this, even if they’re not a fan of Windows Mobile. As such, head over to the competition website and write a short 25 word story on how the HD2 will improve your life.
Competition closes 16th of January so you have the whole holiday break to think of something good. Note, entries are judged on creativity so you might want to avoid writing about “calling mom” and the like.
Sounds fantastic. Can’t complain either about free stuff!
I entered and I already own a HD2 🙂
@Glen so I’m guessing you’ll give it to a loved one in dire need of a far better phone?
Huh. Well, unfortunately for me, I live in the US. I suppose we get more chances like this, but ours usually aren’t judged on creativity. They’re all just random drawings. =/
Sadly, I’m in the US, so since the HD2 would apparently need to be activated on Telstra’s network I have no chance in winning the HD2 – but it’s a heck of a phone!
YAY, another NON Canada contest, now not only do I see US-only contests now I see Australian-only contests. What does everyone have against Canada, we like free things too. :/
@Jeff – I’m sorry if you weren’t aware that Long Zheng is in Australia and covers quite a bit of Microsoft Australia News on this excellent blog. This has nothing to do with Anti-Canada or Anti-United States leanings. No need to be upset.
Bah… I’m not creative :(. Really though it seems I know nothing about it so I can’t get anything written up.
He he i already have the phone :big grin: had to wait a little for it but it is an awesome phone a couple of glitches but nothing major. Definatly worth getting
Man.. I’ll settle for just being able to buy the damn thing myself.. US customers get no love from cellphone makers..
It is good to hear that the HD2 had won the award from the Microsoft Australia. I am eagerly waiting for the release of this phone.
I bought my HD2 almost month ago, already got lot of apps on it but need more of course. Nonetheless need to find higher PDF reader, with higher fullscreen mode and multitouch. Making plans install android on it however it will be not very soon.
