Celebrity’s Devices Guessing Game Redux

Posted on 12 November 2006 by


**Update: The contest is now closed, and the winner is dckiwi!!

The list of correct devices is as follows:
1. Dolce & Gabbana Motorola RAZR V3i
2. Sidekick 3
3. Blackberry 7700 series
4. LG K800 “Chocolate”
5. Sony Ericsson p910
6. Pink RAZR
7. iPod 5G Video
8. BB 8700r
9. Sidekick 3
10. Treo 650

Thank you for participating! We’ll do it again soon… :-)

I had a lot of fun with the last celebrity’s & their devices guessing game (I learned a lot about BlackBerrys, too), so I have decided to do it again! This time, the winner will be chosen from the entries that have at least seven of the correct celebrity’s devices named, and the winner will pick up a set of Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pro earphones (worth $250!!). Jenneth from Girls Gone Mobile, Matt from The Mobile Gadgeteer, and Mike from Smartphone Thoughts will help me judge the results, and as always – the list we have agreed upon is the final list from which we will judge.

Where possible I have included links that will show larger or additional pictures. ;-)

This time, I think things should be a little bit easier – I purposely tried to not pick so many BBs! I’ll leave this contest open until 3:30 US Central Standard Time on Saturday, November 25th; at that time the winner will be selected from the entries with seven or more correct guesses. :-D

Update 11/21:Mike Dietz from Ultimate Ears has made the very generous offer to “drop ship the prize to the winner along with some UE swag.” So…to be clear – this is a brand new set of UE super.fi 5 Pro earphones, not the set I reviewed, which had been my original plan. Thanks Mike! :-D

Ready? Here we go…

1. Hilary Duff gets money from an ATM while talking on her _______edition _______.

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford

    I think Kerry’s comments are so funny that he deserves a special bonus prize! It’s Monday morning, I’m feeling tired and the weather is cruddy. Those really cheered me up. Special bonus points for British spelling of arse too!

    Hi all –

    I’m Mike with Ultimate Ears. Just wanted to say that this is a brilliant contest. Thanks for hosting it. That and I guess I need to study up on my phones. I don’t have a clue on any of these. But I did notice one thing not mentioned on the list. That funny looking headphone that Miss Ashlee has plugged into her gear? Yep – that is her custom UE-7 that she should be using onstage but it looks like she borrowed it from her Monitor Engineer for personal use. Happens all the time…. (And yes – she is smoking hot and super nice and humble in person)

    YAY!!!!! Thank-you sooo much! I have just bought a new iPod and need something like this to reduce background noise at the gym (I like to read on the exer-cycle).

    I’ve never won anything before so this is HUGE!

    Cheers,

    Robbie.

  • NzoMatrix

    Congrats dckiwi!

    One suggestion I have for a contest like this is to have people email answers rather than post it since you get a clear advantage at already seeing other peoples answers.

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie

    Sure, and that’s why I choose the winner from a pool of correct guesses instead of making the first correct guess the winner. :-)

    I’d rather the entries be posted so that you can calculate your odds of winning. ;-)
