We might be from Windows Mobile roots here, but there are some great things that the iPhone has to offer. Although the 1st Generation iPhone didn’t satisfy my needs, I was able to recommend it to some friends and family.

• No, I am not jumping on the iPhone bandwagon. I am just helping to celebrate the release of the most leaked Apple announcement ever.
• Yes, I will buy a 3G iPhone. In fact, I am going to buy two again. One for me and one for you, just like last time. Yep, even though we are heavily focused on Windows Mobile powered phones, we gave away a couple iPhones last year.

Yes, that’s right. We don’t have one in hand, but you will as soon as I do. Well, you will if you win this contest. Read on to find out how!

Updated due to recent findings, contest is still on, but we might have to change the way the prize will be awarded. Details after the break.

Here is the updated info… Based on some info in an internal AT&T email that BGR posted, the contest idea is in jeopardy. Instead of going down to a store, buying the phone, and mailing it to the winner, we might need to do it differently. Details on this will be set as more info comes in.

The new 3G device will be activated in store in both AT&T and Apple stores.  Customers must accept AT&T and Apple Ts & Cs, sign a 2-year agreement, and select the data plan for the iPhone 3G before leaving the store.

I read this as that you have to sign up for AT&T to walk out the door with the phone. If this is the case, it would be difficult to fulfil this contest the way I intended. Let’s continue the contest and see how this works out.

The Prize:

• (1) 16GB 3G iPhone

The Rules: The rules are quite simple…

• Comment on posts here on Mobilitysite. On July 11th, 2008, I will randomly select one winner from comments made on all posts from now until July 11th. Comments that are determined by me to be just fluff comments will not count. I will use my best judgement. The selection of the winner will be done on video.
• Mobilitysite Staff Members (except me) are eligible as this will be totally random.
• Winners will be limited to the US Only on this one, sorry guys.
• The prize is the hardware only. No service will be included. That will be up to you to provide.
• In the event of the hardware is not available at the time the contest ends, the winner will still be selected and will have to wait for availability. ( I don’t expect this, but just making sure in case there is a shortage)
• I reserve the right to change the rules to protect the fairness of the contest.

That’s it, Good luck!
