Just a random thought: is there any chance these are in the congressional districts of the state represented by the designate #? Example: #1 is las vegas, #4 is New York (well closer to long island), #5 Dallas, #13 NY, #16 St. Charles. #12 doesn't really match the thought process of most though (Cleveland "Rocks" - 12th district is Columbus)

nice thought there, but #13 pretty solidly references near canadian border, and ny 13 is in brooklyn

So who gets the full retail price you were betting on that you would find it? :p

Man this sucks .. if anyone was going to find one I thought it would be you..
Will someone find one already so we know what we are looking for?? ... I'm ready to start searching for #6 but need way better clues!
 
And once again... just introducing more and more phones... Either they haven't really hidden them anywhere or they plan on telling us the exact location the day before launch date for all 21 (and counting) of them.

Further sadly. :(

I live in Yuba City, Thankfully I live outside the City limits at the southern end out in the "country". So I take 99 to Hwy 113 and come out just past the college in Davis avoiding at least some of the traffic..

And you came all the way down to SF on Sunday!?!?!? You are way more dedicated (crazy) than me! I am only in Concord, but was born and raised in the City (lived there for 35+ years)

Yep. I still think none have been distributed. The likelihood of a random person finding them is too great.

Good idea!
I created an IRC channel, if anyone is interested in chatting there...

It's on the server: Slashnet

And the channel name is: DroidXHunt

If you're interested, Andchat is apparently a good IRC client for Android. Or you can download Chatzilla (Firefox plugin) to join the channel. For those out hunting, this could be a good and easy medium through which to be fed ideas.
 
The renassiance tower. Used to be the ewing motor oil company building (start your engines) about 2 blocks from the grassy knoll. At night the building lights up in a big X. And blockbuster has 8 floors of office there

Lol, let's go with dedicated! :p

I was stationed at Travis for a few years so I was pretty familiar with the city as well... Funny thing is I think my wife was eager to go because she has heard me talk about Lombard Street in the past and how that road scares me a bit lol.. Think she wanted to go just to see me get worked up!

Have you noticed that NONE of the clues has advanced us any closer than confirming the city location? Some haven't gotten us that far yet. What if we aren't going to give us anything more precise until we know what city for each of them?

Id bet the cost of the phone that I know exactly where its at. When its found it'll be so obvious that people are going to slap themselves

Besides, I can't really wait that long to see if you get it!

Then I quit, cuz by then, it will be the 15th and we can all be done with this nonsense and buy one. Unless, of course, they send like 10+ tweets a day for the next several days, becasue that's what it will take at this rate.
 
looking at all the consolidated hints on the first page, i'm definitely thinking that when they are found it is going to have something to do with the red droid eye...so far it's been the whole ad campaign for the phone...other than that i've got nothing...morbid you should try that place on nebraska ave that joelr was talking about if you are still over there
 
Yeah well my wife gets my money.. I gotta buy her one now at full price...I didn't really even want it for me...encrypted bootloader and all. But my wife would have loved it
