Win An iPhone Week 10 (sob…)
Posted in Brainy Stuff, Competition Stuff, Geek Stuff, IWOOT Stuff, Random Stuff by Danny Woot
It’s finally here. Week 10. One more roll of the dice.
We’ve been entertained, affected and not a little bit terrified by the wealth of bizarreness we’ve uncovered on this merry technological odyssey whereby we released 10 iPhones into the wild for your gain, but boy has it been worth it. We’ve started a little community that we hope we can nurture - it’s an area where no one should feel bad for uploading a photo of their cat wearing a bumble bee costume.
But we digress.
The final iPhone competition has a very simple premise - we want you to prove to us that YOU want that iPhone the most. How far would you go? We don’t care how you prove it, but as long as you show us that, for whatever reason, you need that sleek little wizard’s-best-friend in your life. Make a video, write us a letter, bombard us with Tweets, bake us some cake (we like this idea a lot) - just make sure you don’t miss your final chance to win that precious iPhone. Facebook, Twitter, the blog or good old Royal Mail - do what you have to do to get your mitts on it.
So, to recap, the title of the comp this week is “How Much Do You Want An iPhone?”, and we want all entries in by 10AM Monday, December 7th 2009. Anything received after that will not be counted as an entry. Unless it’s cake.
All the social media outlets are fairly self-explanatory, but some people have requested our postal address:
Creative Department
Unit C11 Parkhall Trading Estate
40 Martell Road
London
SE21 8EN
Good luck!

I want an iphone so much everyone of my colleagues at work spends each day waving theirs in the air to annoy me whilst I have to look at my battered sony phone which misses messages, the alarm is bizarre making me late for work although it does make a useful door stop.
Take pity for the love of god.

Sad to say, I think some of these people are prepared to go far far far further than I would - I only want to go to the bottom of our road for mine
But promise to love it and use it, wrap it up in the cold weather, keep it cool in summer, keep it beside me forever and make it feel cherished! To keep it upgraded and charged. Not to let anyone mess around with it. What more could a phone want!
[...] those among who still have that insatiable desire for an iPhone, have a look at this week’s competition. All we want you to do is show us just how much you need that iPhone - whoever goes furthest, most [...]
I have just started a new contract and have a Samsung Tocco and its a horrible phone that has put me off touchphones altogether. I press number 1 and it comes up with number 2, it plays up all the time, so its gone back to be reset. I have already decided to buy another phone and have been eyeing up the iphone but there is no way I can afford one, so as I love your website (creep creep!) and I tell all my friends to do their christmas shopping with you I thought you might treat me to one of your fabulous i-phones. I will love you forever if I win one xxxx
Hey, is there an age limit on this?
Your Message…I want an iphone because i’m so far behind with technology.I have a computer that is so old it takes half the day to warm up and my phone is so big i need a suitcase on wheels to manouvre it for it to be able to called a mobile.
Stop the search, you have found someone who wants the Iphone more than anyone else.
I want the Iphone so much because it would change my boring mundane life and make it inexorably more exciting with games and apps that I have never used before.
With the ability to surf the net on the move will I ever be able to sleep at night until I have won this prize.
The Idea of touchscreen and a 2 mega pixel camera is giving me goosebumps.
How will I ever satiate this desire apart from here with this competition.
Please spare me the torment any longer, and tell me that I have won this spectacular prize.
I dont think I can take another day without an Iphone!
THE iPHONE
Chic on the street and high in style,
With an iPHONE you’re never alone.
Aps and maps to name just a few,
You Tube or mail and phone.
Deep under ground without a sound,
Or high on a mountain peak.
Walking a trail or going by rail,
Even all on your own for a week.
Relaxing on sand with waiters to hand,
Warm waters licking your toes,
You’re never alone with an iPHONE,
And really I WANT ONE OF THOSE.
I want this phone so badly for my hubby, not for me. I would run half naked round my street for it, dare me and i’ll do, that’s how badly I want this phone.

This iPhone is *mine* I tell you, it’s got my name all over it, you’ve even admitted it yourselves, you’ve called it “this merry technological odyssey” and *I’m* Merry! So give it to me *now* or I’ll stamp my feet, hold my breath until I turn blue and explode like Mr Creosote. :o)
I will give you my wife and left arm in exchange.
Last year I lost my job and was unemployed for 8 months, I nearly lost my house and everything else in life, I sold almost every luxury I had, my mrs is awesome and stuck with it, she worked hard and didnt complain, we had no pleasures in life, no holidays, we lost the car, everything was bleak. Luckily I got back into work and now am just about keeping my head above water, sadly cant afford a present for my delightful and supportive Elizabeth for christmas, I would simply love to be able to give her an Iphone, yes its a sob story, yes its naff, cliched and pretty common, but it is true and no-one deserves a little joy more than her….yep, I want charity, sympathy, empathy and pity.
I really really really want this phone. I think it is an amazing bit of tech and would sleep with it eat with eat take it everywhere i go, which would please the wife to no end. I would climb a mountain to get my hands on one or even try and run a marathon. I would take on the terrorists of the world if they tried to take it off me (although they might win I would give it a go). So let me win please please please.
I hate the stupid thing…therefore it would be perfect giving it to me.
Actually, I don’t really want one but I’m so skint at the moment I suppose I could always sell it!
Your Message…I really really really really want one of those iPhones but I couldn’t afford to buy one, my four year old sone love the apps on my friends one and he would be over the moon if mum got one. I would make a cake but it would get wrecked in the post but the thought is there!!! I could make a one and send you a photo via my new iPhone maybe ??!!!! PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME I never win ANYTHING !!
I have to admit I’m a gadget freak, I love any kind of gadget (obvisouly why i enjoy your webstie so much!!) but unfortunately monetary funds do not cover this freakish habit of mine and therefore I have never been able to get an iphone so far. I also do not live in the UK, therfore am not actually eligible for this competition, which you know what, makes me want the damn thing even more!!
[...] received a particularly lovely competition entry from regular Facebook-er Nicki ‘Knox’ Parsons. For her grasp at the last iPhone, [...]
I would love love LOVE to win an iPhone, which I would very generously donate to my partner (I know, great girlfriend or what?), because he is trying to develop his own phone application/pet sim game as a side project to his Computer Science degree. Yeah, as if that’s not enough technology to handle! However, it’s near-impossible without the real thing! He’s currently using an emulator on my PC, but is always on about how much he would love an iPhone. I’m sure he’d be the envy of all his tech-addict friends too. As I love him very much I’d really love to see his dream come true for Christmas! You never know, you might even see his app surfacing in the near future…

this phone is so totally me!
its like we were made for each other!
i just want a iphone because i have being wanting one each year for my birth day because i dont have a phone and if i get this phone i will be really really thankful of you. Pleas let me have it i really need this i have being wanting this for 2 years now pleas pleas pleass………
How far would I go for an I-phone. Being a raving Blackburn Rovers fan, at the next Blackburn/Burnley derby game I would sit in the middle of the dingle Burnley supporters wearing my beloved Blackburn shirt and jump up and cheer every goal Blackburn score. Yes this would probably result in instant death, but at least it would all be recorded on my I-phone.
i want an iphone so badly i would kill for an iphone i mean there the best phone you can buy and there just so awesome the only problem is there really really expensive and my mum hasen’t got enough money so i really really really really would like an iphone to give to my mum
Why I want the IPhone….. well to be honest I don’t want it…. My brother does ad i have been trying to afford it for soo long and i have been failing.. but my brother is a welsh guard drummer andwhile in Afghan he was seriously injured in an explosion and lost one of his legs…. now he asked me for this as a present of our whole family this christmas…. but as the famly has alreadybought him his gifts, i want to get him an Iphone….. i would go to the top of mount everest for this….. i would walk the wall of china, i would live with out BBQ sauce and fast food for more than a year just soo i can see the smile on my brothers face and joy and buzz he will let off if he has this Iphone…… !
But that is why i want the iphone… so i can give it to my brother (my Hero ) this christmas

I need an iPhone because I don’t have a smart phone. If I had the money to buy a smart phone, it would of course be the iPhone.
THE IPHONE!
Firstly i would like to introduce myself my Name is Alexander Alexeev I am 16 years ols and i am studying business, Geography and food technology for GCSE. The iphone is the thing which i wanted for the past 2 years however i wasnot able to get it as my parents think that this is just waste o money furthermore iphone is a type of thing which can improve your marks in school as it has got a lot of applications such as translator etc. My last phone was sone erricson which is 5 years old and it is very cheap. I know that i cant really say that but plase i really need it. Lastly i would like to thank you for organising such a great event.
Yours faithfully Alex.
well i lived with my foster parents for 3 years sadly 3 months ago they died in a house fire they had one of these phones i loved to play games on there with them but the phone was never recovered i cant afford to buy one so i think i should win this phone to bring back some old memories thanks and god bless
Your Message…I want a ‘phone for poor old Ben, it wouuld cher him up - he wrote his car off last week & only passed his driving test a couple of months age
Your Message…Actually, I think I should win the phone otherwise I’ll phone Santa and tell him to miss you out this year! xx
