This contest is now closed, and the winners have been notified and posted here. Thank you for participating! :-)

Before our month of give-aways was so rudely interrupted by the server crash of 2008 (from now on to be known as “BC”), we were nearing the end of the giving cycle, but I still had 10 days worth of goodies left to go.

I have decided to save those items for the next massive give-away (most likely to be done in time for Christmas). So instead, we are going to pull out the stops to end this contest with a bang!

We have two Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Pocket PC) unlocked PDA phones to give away: an O2 Atom Life which was generously donated by TTT and an HTC Touch Dual that I was given at Mobius 2007 by HTC and Microsoft; both phones are Euro 3G. We also have eight (8) Amazon gift certificates, each worth $25, which were donated anonymously.

The two phones have been gently used, but each come with their original boxes and goodies. The gift certificates are brand new. ;-)

Basically, there will be ten winners, and here is how you could be one of them…

Everybody gets three opportunities to enter, which means up to triple the chances of winning.

Entries will be accepted as follows:

1. Your first entry should just be a simple post, perhaps why you would like to win a particular item, or what you would like to do with it if you won – nothing too difficult, okay?

2. Your second entry must be a short paragraph about your favorite gadget, and why it is your favorite gadget. Be creative – as you have probably figured out by now, amusing the Team helps us pick winners. ;-)

3. Your third entry, should you decide to do one, must be a link to a picture of you with a gadget posted to your Flickr account and tagged with “geardiarycontest“. These pictures might be taken somewhere interesting, can be humorous, fun, serious – whatever you want; just please keep it clean. ;-)

To inspire you, here are a few Gear Diary Team photos…

Be sure to read the small print, and GOOD LUCK!

The Small Print:

  • You may create up to three entries; they must follow this format:
    • Your first entry should just be a simple post, perhaps why you would like to win a particular item, or what you would like to do with it if you won – nothing fancy.
    • Your second entry must be a short paragraph about your favorite gadget, and why it is your favorite gadget.
    • Your third entry, should you decide to do one, must be a link to a picture of you with a gadget posted to your Flickr account and tagged with “geardiarycontest“. These pictures can be taken somewhere interesting, humorous, serious – whatever you want; just please keep it clean. ;-)
  • You must be registered on Gear Diary to enter and comment, and  you can register here. We will never spam you, all registering means is you are now capable of commenting.
  • Make sure that you have judie (at) geardiary . com in your non-spam list – if I don’t hear from you within 48 hours after the winners’ emails are sent, then the item will go to someone else.
  • Give-away closes at 5:30 pm CST on March 31, 2008.
  • Winners will be announced soon after.
  • All decisions on the winners will be made by the Gear Diary Team, and they are final. No whining, because that’s lame.
  • There are a few items to ship, and I am paying for shipping – so it may take up to a week for your item to leave the house. It will get to you – be patient!
  • Contest is open to everyone, everywhere – unless there is some legal reason why a particular item can’t be shipped to your country. In that unlikely event, the item will go to someone else…sorry! :-(
  • I’m paying postage – but you are responsible if there are any import duties or taxes.
  • It’s up to me which shipping method to use – if you want your prize faster, cough up some money. ;-)
  • Team members aren’t eligible to win, but we had fun entering. ;-)

Okay – get those entries going…and lots of pictures please; we love those! :-)
