Win a Samsung Droid Charge! @DroidLanding Twitter contest

[skyboard64]

Congratulations. As I said I was there. How did you know that it was going to be around there or did you just guess right? I was for sure that it was going to be down at Dino BBQ. This other nice I Guy I met from UB Law School were going as fast as we could to get over there but we got there probably two minutes after you guys had found it. Fun experience all together just wish I could have searched for it a little before you found it haha.

I really thought it was going be up to two miles a way from the GPS location i thought it would have went off at the Nick Tahou Hots (home of the garbage plate) or Susan B Anthony house or her park or Fronter Park or Kodak Place or high Falls so kept Circling those Places, (just cuz they where all so close together) (was in the parking lot with the car on the GPS ready just googled Nola Rochester NY when the tweet came, and typed it in the GPS the I was off) Just drove over from Nick's Got Stuck at lot of the red light's (thought some one would of won it b4 we even got there) was neck n neck with Wade driving & Parked next to each other also though as we drove to Nolas we drove past a 7/11 just like in the commercial and also one more thing i noticed after though the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002285617822 aka Darvolind Frobuirdge liked a few pages the first one he liked was nova = Nola ugh wish i seen that coming (n i thought using the scan results numbers from the tracker i took the last number and plugged it in to Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine which gave us a graph so I printed out an area map surrounding the GPS location and the graph told me bottom left area (which was wrong) (or know that we think about it maybe we had our map in the wrong direction? idk? but all those places I was think of was in that area so thats what I though turns out it was on the bottom right of the map from the GPS was about 7 miles away from it when it went off from there just started looking all over under tables in the flower pots under chairs but it was on top of a stage area where it was pitch back up in the top part of it was just feeling around for it felt it in my hand n rip lol (guess wade seen the hidden cam) I didn't even see the hidden cam... it was fun though (every one also left before they could do the drawings/giveaways think they might do a raffle n mail someone some stuff.... great time though n next thing you know they where all cheering and clapping and taking pics and interviews

That's pretty awesome! Ya those were alall the thoughts I was thinking so I was just sitting in my car on that bridge by Dino. I thought it would have been cool to have it at the high falls museum. I got stuck in an immense amount of traffic. I did the same thing googled it and put my Droid x navigation on. You had some damn good ideas though. You should have heard me swearing up a storm at the traffic haha. I stayed for a decent amount of time, but I didn't know they were going to do a raffle and giveaways. I thought the giveaways were the sunglasses, lanyard, and gift card. It was well worth it for the fun and exploring of Rochester. Glad someone on here won it and not just someone who found out when the tweet came out and was right there.

I have to ask do you win a physical phone or a coupon to get a phone? I mean the phone is delayed due to "unexpected issues" so how can they be giving them away?

 

[IPvFletch]

I think a lot of people got an IOU for the phone, which they said should be shipped out next week. But I thought the first couple got the phones right then and there, perhaps I'm wrong...

 

[skyboard64]

Hey they take are info and will mail the phone & gift card to us when the phones are released (they just have us fill out the winner paper work) name address phone email ss# all that good stuff

 

[skyboard64]

guess one last hint we also missed was they are saying about 15 mins before the tweets even come the maps zoomed up even closer to the location idk that (just read it on anther forum) and plus the map locations from chargelanding didn't show on my cell went with out that head start clue glad I still made it sure some other people figured that one out also but probably need some one near a pc to tell ya that clue (think the raffle was a couple of T-shirts)

skyboard64, I was refreshing the map using shift+refresh every 2-3 minutes from 4:30 until about 5:10 when the tweet went. It didn't update early.

ya I had my computer tethered to my phone on my lap in the car on the side of the road refreshing every chance I got and they did not update early. If they did I would have been oone of the first ones there haha.
