If you won the contest.....

[devilman]

Which phone would you choose if you won the contest on here? Myself I would go with a Storm if it got with Rogers anytime soon.

[becks]

free phone... I would either go for the iPhone or Storm... and make sure I get a really cheap plan. The last thing i need is a massive bill

[devilman]

actually I'm changing my answer to iphone!! for now lol. I've been looking at so many phones lately I can't make my mind up....

[Chuck]

Although Palm has been lack luster in the past with service end; I am intrigued by the Palm Pre. :)

[zmaster2xxx]

I'm not sure.. Possibly iPhone, probably Bold. Although considering I'm using a severely beat-up old silver V3.. I wouldn't really say no to anything.

lol!!
(I would go for the Cleo... joking. Totally joking. My choice is the Curve 8900)

[dirtyj]

Blackberry Bold for sure!!

[arcsvibe]

I also have to say it would be between the BB Storm or the iPhone :D I love my Diamond though!

[cheron]

iPhone or Bold for sure now, try to delay for Pre ultimately though.

[serans1987]

If I got the chance to receive a new phone I would get a Curve 8900, only reason is that some one has stolen my bb argh. Would love to gave that bb again or if the Palm Pre was available I wouldn't mind jumping on that bandwagon

[daking]

If i had to choose today it would be e71 or curve 8900. If i had untill june, its hard to say depends on whats out by then.

[joshdmcc]

I don't know, since virgin mobile has really bad phones. Maybe by the time the contest ends they'll have a really good phone like the voyager or instinct? Or the storm @.@

[MobileSyrup]

I would get the Storm since we gave it away before the holidays... we will have ongoing giveaways, most likely every month basis here.

[Petra]

A Nokia E71 would be difficult to pass up for me!

[yungmone21]

I would go with the Black Berry Storm by Telus. Ive never really rated BB's but their slowly strting to grow on me. so im willing to be open minded and give it a try.

[live_strong]

how is the winner going to be determined?
random draw, most active, other.

[quicksilv3r]

ya i would love to know the answer to that as well

[MobileSyrup]

Hi All - first let me say thanks for joining the Forum!

I believe this is and will be a place for people to get a greater understanding of the Canadian cell industry. So continue to ask your questions/concerns as I'm sure it will be answered... The whole point of this forum is to have valuable conversations...

To answer your question about how the draw will be handled... it's only open for those who register and remain active. So if people sign up and leave with no posts then they'll be out of the running.

From there we will put the names in a draw and pick 2. The first will get a cell phone of their choice - available in the Canadian market by a Canadian carrier (We don't want to put in the poor house and get the King's Button $3 million iPhone). The second will get the Jawbone Bluetooth headset.

Also, a draw like this will happen every month or so as we think it's important to give back. We sincerely want input on how we can make things better, what you would like to see from us... give us all the info you can and let others know about the Forum... it will all help us out by understanding the market/carriers that much better.

Cheers,
John

[live_strong]

thanks for the clarification on the draw John.

[joshdmcc]

John, how long can we abstain from picking our phone?
I want to know this because I hear my carrier is getting about 5 new phones sometime this year but are announcing it in a few weeks, and I want to make sure that if I win it will not be too late.

[MobileSyrup]

how long can we abstain from picking our phone

Completely up to you... 3 months, 6 months 1-year... up to you!:)

[joshdmcc]

Completely up to you... 3 months, 6 months 1-year... up to you!:)

Thanks
I just needed clarification :D

[SKS2K9]

Thanks for the clarification. :)

And if I could choose...... Well, considering the garbage phone I have right now (a KRZR), I would choose pretty much anything. :T

[gp540]

niagara!

[MobileSyrup]

sweet while as you can see im quite active

[CreamyGoodness]

also how would you be notified of your winning

[MobileSyrup]

We will notify with a forum announcement and the winner will receive an e-mail...
:)

[quicksilv3r]

Sweet, that will be awesome. Come on March 1st

[CreamyGoodness]

Sweet, that will be awesome. Come on March 1st

why is the first drawing on march 1st

[quicksilv3r]

why is the first drawing on march 1st

Ya the contest closes on March 1st and the winners announced just after that

[1984]

I have a great prediction... me winning.
:)

[CreamyGoodness]

I have a great prediction... me winning.
:)

well we will see. so im just wondering this. So if you won and say you wanted a storm from bell. Would just buy a storm with no contract and send it out for us to get it activated?

[devilman]

I think I would choose the N97. I just got the bb8900 and I love it but that Nokia looks pretty awesome!!

[serans1987]

I would want to get something new as well but if that fails i would have to get a blackberry bold or 8900 for my girlfriend.

[12345]

this is mine all mine. I can feel it! :)

[CreamyGoodness]

No its mine. I have dreamt about it

[12345]

sorry - visualization does not work with this contest!

[blindkangaroo]

I think I'd get the E71 just because I seem to have fallen in love with it. Or maybe the BB Bold. Not sure I'd get an iPhone just simply because of how much more data it uses over the network. Then again the Storm is very interesting. And I'm not on contract anywhere so I could choose whatever carrier I wanted! :)

[joshdmcc]

It's the last day before the contest closes :O

[arcsvibe]

Good luck everyone!:)

[CreamyGoodness]

Good Luck guys, cant wait till its posted. Im so anxious.

[blindkangaroo]

[CreamyGoodness]

Oh and for the new one does it include the price of a phone if we decide to get one, So we could spend a little less on the plan and put the rest into a phone

[arcsvibe]

that's wicked.
congrats becks and dirtyj!

Congrats to you both :D

[quicksilv3r]

Congrats you dirty rat...... lol Just kidding. Well its nice to see a site that actually gives to the community.

[becks]

I think I have decided to get the Palm Pre when it comes out... what are your thoughts on this?

Feedback on the good and back please

[live_strong]

I think I have decided to get the Palm Pre when it comes out... what are your thoughts on this?

Feedback on the good and back please

i would have gotten the Palm Treo Pro-but the Palm Pre looks equally as good if not better.

enjoy!

[CreamyGoodness]

^ good choice. You could be wating a while though. Although i know i will not be purchasing the pre because it is on ugly piece of machinery, it seems like a solid device

[blindkangaroo]

I think waiting for the Pre is a good choice. It looks like it'll be the king of smartphones when it's released.

I agree that it might be a while, who knows when we'll get it in Canada and which carrier will get it first. I do disagree that's it ugly, it's the sexiest phone I've seen :) lol

[Skippy101]

I actually don't mind the Pre. I first think an honest review has to come out, not one that is plugged by Palm or at hyped by trade show.

[Rashan]

If I won the contest I'd get the LG neon that little things looks awesome and I text a lot lol
