3g iPhone 2.0 giveaway
Okay people, here we go.
As many know, the second generation iPhone will be announced today. It should have a much faster network, video conferencing, perhaps be able to stream movies and television, and be able to levitate new born elephants.
Last year we had a lot of fun with the iPhone giveaway and have decided to do it again. We don’t know yet what the price of the new phone(s) will be as there have been rumors that this version will perhaps be subsidized by ATT.
So, once we know what the price is, we’ll know how many phones we can give away.
The entry fee is $20. clusterflock keeps none of the money. All the money will be given away in iPhones. Let me know if you have any questions. This should be fun.

Woo hoo! I’m still enjoying my first iPhone thanks to all the wonderful Clusterflock people, hope to spread the joy to a few others this time around!
At $199/phone we end up with a 1/10 chance of winning?
That’s divine.
Seriously! How many times can we enter? Haha. Will Kottke be officiating like last time?
Couldn’t agree more. Best gamble ever!
enter as many times as you like. I’ve got a note in to John Gruber. if he’s not available I’ll talk with Jason and or Jim Coudal. should be fun.
How are we doing so far, Deron?
we’re about halfway to the first phone. I think everyone has been lost in a macrumorslive.com wormhole for the past couple hours. I’ve got notes in to Jason and John Gruber about helping get the word out. I assume once people get the chance, this will really pick up.
Oh, it looks so awesome. This time around I will procure one, by hook or crook.
Rumor has it that this phone is morefaster, sleeker, friendlier, larger, smaller, prettier, smoother, and shinier than anything [Apple has] come up with so far.”
I wanna wins me a fancy phone!!! Money’s coming Friday.
(i wanna be popular, i wanna be popular, i wanna be popular…)
My entry to follow – but depending on how many phones we’re able to give away, we should consider having a 16gb GRAND PRIZE.
I’ll probably cry if I don’t win.
Also, I’ll probably cry if I do win.
Kathy, if you win one of these phones, you will be so popular you’ll have sycophants sucking your sycophants.
The only disheartening news is that AT&T isn’t being kind and upping the data plan to $30/month from the regular $20/month. Maybe they will get their stuff together and offer the same $20 rate to current iPhone customers that are upgrading? Might be a smart move for them, PR/Customer Satisfaction-wise.
yeah, that pissed me off as well. an extra ten bucks because they made their network as fast as it should have been?
[...] Okay, we’re past our first phone. I haven’t decided how long we’ll keep the give-away going, but since the phones are pushed back until July 11th, it gives us plenty of time to give away phones. [...]
[...] Here are the details, if you’re interested. [...]
$20 for a chance to win a $200 iPhone? Awesome! Can I enter 12 times?
[...] going to hold the drawing for this year’s iPhone giveaway on Friday and announce the winners. Right now we’re at one and a half phones. I’ll make sure we get at least to two. Good [...]
