"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

I'm really leaning toward the fact that the hint poster is an idiot, and we can only take the hints at face value. I need another #7 hint dammit!
 
Is this Lombard St. like the most famous street in SanFran or something? (or one of the more famous?)
Because if that's the case maybe it's not actually ON that street, and they just named it to indicate that the X is in SanFran somewhere...?

Exactly. I think people are jumping the gun. Of course, I could be wrong :D

haha not gullible, I wont believe he has it until he shows proof, but I wont just jump to the conclusion that he is lying, faking or couldn't possibly find it. I guess you just have a pessimistic attitude and I have a optimistic attitude, anyways, I am in MD, so we need to work together to find one around this area.....

I am in MD too, closer to the District, hopefully one will be around here somewhere!

That's what I'm thinking too, but they could've used rice-a-roni or crappy football team or trolleys to hint to SF as well :p
 
Ok... So, the building that the Verizon store is in, is 3 stories. Maybe it could be located on one of the upper floors or even the roof. That would be "higher" altitude... Just a thought

im pretty sure that its just the fact that SF and specifically lombard street is at a higher altitude. Don't start scalling walls ala spiderman just to look for a phone. ;)
 
you guys have to think that verizon stores are a big part of this....i mean do you really think these phones have been sitting in these locations for 10+ days now?? I really think they are in a VZW store....

Actually pessimistic = droid #3 is found already. Optimistic = it's still out there and mahers or someone on androidforums will find it :D

I sure hope one is near us in MD and VA so we can have some fun too. I was going to go down to the Verizon sponsored event at the Va Beach Oceanfront today and look around, but it's too crazy down there.

mahers - keep looking up as you hunt, higher altitude could very well mean a taller building on Lombard St hehe...
 
Just a thought: anyone a member of Latitude? What if you tried to locate `Droid Designate #3.` See if it has a GPS trail. Maybe you need to use Google products to find it.

Yeah seriously I'm in Maryland and Lombard Street goes right through the heart of Baltimore and I was really about to leave my house then someone reminded me that Droid X designate #3 have all been clues for Cali people. Haha oh well.
