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

Is anybody here after #2, or I am all alone?:) Would love to get a hand from people, who are not in SoCal. I'll be in LA, running around.. not sure if I can get clues on time. And even if I will, with limited access to interner it would be difficult to solve. And as we seen #4 and #19 were found within 5 minutes after GPS locations were announced.
 
No shot for me. I'm in Louisiana knee deep on BP. ..BS. .. It's probably in Detroit just like #7 is in Warmer climates. ...Seattle. They should give all of us an X just. For putting up with this promotion....Bet VZ hires a different outfit to promote their next does...
 
Anyone think the Detroit one will be around the Joe Lewis fist? Or that statue that wears the Wings jersey come playoff time? Greektown? Belle Isle? Henry Ford museum would go with the traffic light theme.
 
I've got 4 lines for my family,, I send the big V almost $200 a month and have been happy for years with their service and honesty. I know they hired someone to run this promotion but VZ needs to grab the bull by the horns and take controll. Come out and say some of the early clues were wrong / misleading and correct them. Otherwise they will have 21 new happy customers and 21000 ticked off ones. .....

I pay that much for 2 lines, and yes, this promo was not handled correctly.

In case no one has mentioned this and no one has noticed, it is real easy to know when you get the final clue. Look at the way it was tweeted. If it is from HootSuite, it is a general clue. If it is from the web, it is the final clue before the coordinates.

Great tip!

Great tip, IF it were true. While your statement is accurate for teh Philly phone, the NY final and coords clues were from HootSuite. Damn, I ithought you were on to something there!:(

When does this beerfest in Boston start? Could the X be hiding in one of the bars?
Click to expand...

It starts at 10:30AM at the House of Blues near Fenway and continues until 2AM. It's highly unlikely that it would be in one of the bars or even the Fenway area because ~3000 people participate. It's a huge mess, and if they happen to unknowingly plant the DX in the Fenway area it's going to be funny. Really funny. There will probably be A LOT of drunk people in the pictures/video.

That said, let's hope it's by Fenway so I stand a chance to win. Cheers!
 
Just wanted to let you guys know I probably won't be able to update the thread today. Have a little family emergency I'm going to take care off out of town, but I'll be in the car for most of the day so I can't update from my phone as often. Sorry! I'll try and update as much as possible, but no promises.

Good luck to all hunting today.
 
Good luck today, Boston hunters! Monday is my day. I've got 2 cars full of friends who will be staying at my place (in Detroit) on Sunday night, and then we're dispatching 5 groups of 2 to Detroit Monday morning until we find it. I've got some extremely loyal, helpful, and resourceful friends. Lol

Tweets seem to usually start at 9am.... Still none right now... maybe because its the weekend and they are sleeping in???

Or they plan to drop the West Coast phones and are waiting until a decent hour. It's only 6:47 here. I'm awake, so I wish they would start. I can cash in on my early wake up call from my kids!
 
I'm just hoping for at least a city clue or an ETA clue for #6. Because they've screwed up so much on sending out these clues, reading nothing about #6 the past few days makes me worry they just messed up and skipped it's city clue.
 
At least with any Driods in FL we know they'll have to give it away before noon, because it's July and we are in the middle of our sea breeze/rain EVERY afternoon pattern. lol ^_~ They'd look very odd standing out in the rain, with cameras. Regular tourists in FL act like rain will make them melt. They cram standing-room-only into ever store and restaurant around. ^_~
 
DroidLanding: In 4 days, Droid X designate #7 is in the city Dr. Frasier Crane called home. Too bad Droid X has no issues.

Damn, keep giving out clues for phones that already have confirmed cities....
