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

Does anyone else think it is weird how these clues are coming out? 2 clues for #14 in 2 days, and yet only 1 for #6 so far. I wonder if anything is behind this.

No idea, I'm still waiting for another #7 clue before I do anything else. I'm also pretty sure the poster of these clues is an idiot and there is no hidden meaning to them. The clues are either far to vague or list something specific... and when the specifics are looked at there is nothing found. The people on this site are definitely above the average person who is looking for these droids and we still haven't gotten close to finding one.

It's unfortunate but this is looking like a promotion that was poorly planned and is being ran on the fly. There will probably be real specifics posted within the next week and it will be a mad dash to the locations.

Ok guys, I contacted a person in this thread about possibly making him the OP to update the twitter updates coming in. I have not heard back from him but I want to put this out there incase someone else wants to do it (figured I prefer to just get whoever's the first person willing as the contest is almost over). Do any of you guys want to do this? You would have to make a list stating all the designates with their respective #'s, then include all the twitter updates pertaining to that #. In addition, the most obvious part is just keeping up with the new updates that @droidlanding puts out. This will make it easier for people (both new and old) to read and possible figure out the location. Let me know if anyone would like to do this and I'll make you the OP so you can edit the first post in this thread.

NiceShotMan has been doing this throughout the thread. His last one was on the last page. I don't mind doing it, I'm just gonna take what he's done and use it though so it maybe he deserves it haha

Funny that you say his name, as he was the first person I PMed. He recommended me another person. Thats fine if you use his layout as I think that works best. Make a post and I'll merge it into the OP
 
I'm not sure what I'm going to do if they wait until 7/14 and then tell us that the phones can be found at the stores on 7/15... All I know is that I'll be pissed. :D

I'll probably still buy one but I'll be pissed.

Hey thanks guys, Woop asked me but I would like to spend the time researching with you guys. I did recommend that guy B***99 something as he is pretty quick.

Interesting... I could have paid retail for at least 2 considering the time I spent already :) Verizon\DroidX is killing me! Not really smart, I know.

I'm also going to the beach Wednesday or so, not one of those drag the wife and kids deals either ;) Need to chill so I will have some down time soon.

Did not want do hinder your guys hard work.

He told me he was going to be away during the day, so which one of you two (or anyone else) would like to take the gig?:)

As irritating as that may be....I would have to give a good chuckle to myself, because that would be pretty funny. Don't get any bright ideas Vzw/Moto :p
 
Honestly, I don't think they'll do that. They wouldn't have hinted that there would be slightly more than a dozen or acted shocked when they mentioned Designate #17 to intentionally mislead everybody. I believe it would be a bit more vague.
 
Alright guys, I have made Matt the OP of this thread. He is in charge of updating that post with all the latest updates. Please CHECK THAT FIRST POST, as I'm sure it will be very helpful in trying to brainstorm and come up with ideas. Thanks again Matt, make sure you give him a "Thank" for doing this for everyone. Now lets find these damn Droid Xs!
 
Yep, sorry, I did mean #13 rather than #3 possibly being near me in Vermont. I agree that the upstate NY/VT area is the most likely in terms of talking about the Canadian border (for #13)since there's so much traffic back and forth here to and from Montreal, though down around Toronto seems like a possibility too. We'll just have to wait for more information.

I'm really enjoying following along on everyone's hunt, and I hope to have some ideas to contribute at some point, but you guys are fast.

Thanks woop!

If everyone can help, I can include a "theory" part of the first post with ideas for where they could be.

ie.
#1 Nevada power plant
#3 San Francisco
#4 New York
#5 Texas
#6 Florida
#8 Alabama
#10 Arizona
#12 Cleveland
#16 Missouri

Let me know the other theories, I just did those based on what I remember seeing here.

Good idea! I've only been following #3 like a hawk so I can't comment on the others
 
These two planes just flew over head. both of their con-trails created a big X in the sky and this lady over here said "look at that!" all I could keep thinking of is that clue that said "The next time someone tells you “hey, look at that”, you better look. It might be the Droid X."

I think #2 is either LA or San Diego. Nothing corresponds better to the West Coast and Sunshine than LA or SD.

Funny, I was just going to post this. I also think #2 is somewhere in SoCal. Maybe Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Pasadena, Anaheim, LA, or SD.
 
According to the map, #17 is in Houston! Gonna get on it tomorrow. Description says 4th largest metropolitan area.
