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

I still don't get the second clue for Detroit. What are they talking about when they say the people can take anything thrown at them? Is that supposed to be about the collapse of the US car manufacturers? I think that could be said for any city.

Michigan was in a one state recession 4-5 years before the rest of the country.
 
Tomorrow, Droid X designate #20 will use its 1Ghz processor to decide an important question. What's more famous here: Tea or beer?

Maybe at the Sam Adams brewery?
 
#21: Possible location(s): Washington DC
-With a 1Ghz processor Droid X designate #21 is a center of power. Good thing it will be in this city in 2 days.
-In 3 days, Droid X designate #21 will be in a state that- Wait, it isn't a state. That's okay. Droid X isn't just a phone.
-Back to the east coast for a Droid designate #21 sighting. Tell the family you’ll be late.
Its gonna be in downtown DC somewhere. My best guess: Near the Verizon Center Arena. I will definitely be taking that day off....LOL!!

I was gonna mention we need to go back and see if all the #4 clues pointed to it being at that specific pier, near some water? Not just the one that got deleted but all the #4 clues.

Is there ANY major Verizon buildings near that pier where #4 was?

Once again conflicts with: Droid X designate #20 is in a city where everybody knows its name. Or they will in 2 days.

Make up your mind tweeter!
 
If anyone is wondering why they have messed up days being posted...


Here's my theory...

There were like NO clues yesterday and a shit-ton today with messed up dates...


Today they are posting yesterday AND today's clues!!
 
narrowing it down to two locations in Boston maybe

I know them, do you???


Edit: I gotta get my self a bike so I can get to either place quickly from middle ground. unfortunately I don't have a smartphone now so mobile GPS tracking is gonna be tough. maybe i'll take my laptop to a starbucks in the area or something.
 
Birmingham would have been fine but five days. It seems to me they would have wanted to most of the releases on the weekend so they would have had a big turnout. By. Doing it in the middle of the week they will get 10 pwople instead of 100. Great for my friends on this board though.

This theory seems to make sense, I thought the lack of clues yesterday was a bit odd.
 
Looks like that settles it. I can't believe NC isn't getting any X love. I was looking forward to hunting with/against the other couple guys on here from Raleigh. No way I'd make it to Alabama or Tennessee in time.

I don't think we can use these clues to pinpoint the location. Was there anything before the "Long Time" clue that would have made you think Pier 66? I don't think so (but I don't know New York all that well). I think we can only interpret these as city clues but I think there will only be two location clues - a riddle and then coordinates. Just judging from yesterday's New York clues.
 
Me too but the last Twitter post said something about Hawaii.

Yeah, but residents of Hawaii are not eligible in this contest. "Only residents of the 48 Contiguous states may participate." That's directly from the contest rules. So, it's not in Hawaii.

But, if it is as far south as Key West, the asses better give some #6 clues soon. No one lives in Key West who'd give a crap about this, so they'd have to give us time to get there. It's a 6+hour drive for me...and yes, with a specific enough clue...I WILL drive that far. lol ^_~

Provided they give us a day or two's notice...LIKE THEY'RE GIVING AWAY FOR EVERY OTHER PHONE!!!!!!!!!11111111333333333seven :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Possible, though unlikely.

Saying you will be in a city in 3 days, isn't contradicted by saying you will be in that city in 2 days. It just means you will still be in that city. In other words it just informs that it will be there earlier.

If that theory is true, then #19 actually means today.;)

The ironic thing is those that already have a smartphone are at a major advantage to those of us that don't.

Their's a Verizon Call Center in Raleigh. We need to go protest over there.
 
Doesn't Sam Adams brew most of their beer in Cincinnati, OH?

The Boston Brewery is mainly for testing, research, and tours. It's very small, but I believe the Brickred is brewed/distributed from only the Boston brewery. It's only available as a draft beer, and in touristy Boston areas. It's quite delicious too. I suggest you try it if you ever are in the area.
