Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 This competition has now closed! "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart (or otherwise bring your Smartphone!!)" To celebrate Valentine’s Day (Saturday, February 14), MoDaCo and Microsoft are giving away a free Smartphone of your choice with Windows Mobile software! Just share a story (in this thread) in which your Smartphone helped you get someone’s attention (or maybe someone else’s Smartphone attracted YOU) in this thread. Attempts to attract need not be successful :lol: and pictures or photos of you and your Smartphone earn extra consideration. MoDaCo, along with Microsoft, will announce our favorite story and the winner of the Smartphone on Monday, February 16. The contest is open to entries worldwide ;-), and closes on Sunday, February 15. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nickcornaglia Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 A Letter to My New Love.... There is no better love than new love. Everything is new and fresh. Taking the time to get to know eachother. What you like, dislike, what you do & don't do, what makes you tick....and being happy with each new thing I find. Others will try to tell me the negatives, why this wont work, but there are no faults with new love because the focus of my admiration can do no wrong. --------------< With each passing day, my love gets stronger. Even the days where we don't do much together, I'm happy just holding you, staring at you with the comfort of knowing you will always be there for me. And I for you. --------------< Time passes. Not everyone is perfect. But you can't see that. I can't see that. In a perfect love, one's strengths help the other with their imperfections making the bond even stronger. --------------< I now know every curve of you and just how to push your buttons and when I do, you light up with ecstacy. --------------< There's nothing better than when you call to me with what seems like a melody from heaven. I must answer quickly for fear that you will never call again. --------------< I love every minute we spend together and you are always by my side. I love everything about you and would never do anything to try to change you....except maybe add a bigger SD card as the one in you now is getting a bit low on memory. --------------< I love you MPx200! I love you. I love you. I LOVE YOU! You complete me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Machineman Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi, I got my girlfriend because of a program for SPV. I use IA Album to take pictures but also to shoot video. She has an E200 already and I'm still stuck with an SPV (she make a lot of fun of me HÈHÈHÈ :shock: ) But any way after some talk in the pub I manage to get her phone number. As soon as I got home I made a video from myself and my house, dog and lizards :twisted: and I sended this by E-mail from my SPV to her. I think it took 1 day and I got one reply on it.... "Where do we see eachother?" This is 4 months and 21 days ago but it still works :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: We are still together and have a lot of fun :lol: View video 1 View video 2 Greetzzz Machineman :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest c0ntrite Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 He's always there for me. I know how much he loves me and yet I didn't really give him much attention. I've had an intimate relationship with him and yet my selfish mind wishes to explore the sinful life. One day I decided to ask him if I could have a Smartphone and yes he gave me one through my parents. Ofcourse I wanted to have some accessories to make my Smartphone perform at its best. So i asked him, without questions he gave them to me. He provided me with a Panasonic 512MB SD Card, Altec OYOYO Earphones which I really wanted to use with my Smartphone along with an adapter. Then my selfish mind goes wild again. I wanted to have all the best programs out there. So I started to leech warez. He told me that it wasnt just right to do so and there are great programs out there which are free. I didnt listen. So I started to install the warez. At first I was so happy, having the best programs and games on my phone to show off. But then again I never really used them. Then I compared the warez and freeware. I was really more comfortable with the freeware than with the warez, for me, freeware was better. Then I found this free program which lets you read books and provided with it free books to read! So I started to download both the reader and the books. After reading some pages I started to feel guilty with all the warez programs installed on my phone because the book I was reading was talking about morality. So I decided to uninstall all the warez on my phone. Then while reading some passages in one of the books I felt guilty to him who loves me so much because the book was talking about unconditional love. So I came to him and said "Please forgive me, I know that you are always there for me and you have given me everything I needed and yet I push your love away. I have returned and I will love you forever no matter what, for I have experienced your love and compassion which is unconditional. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, I LOVE YOU!" Incase you guys are wondering what the reader is, well its BibleReader by OliveTree.com and the Books are Bibles with diffenrent versions. And yes this is a true story.

Guest Coucou Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Not strictly within the lines of the competition as it doesn't involve any meeting but it's still romantic. I took my SPV on honeymoon with me, I filled my sd card with photo's which I printed off when I got back home. Those memories will always be with me... in my pocket! I'll post one later.

Guest Roeligan Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Not very original but anyway... Me and my girlfriend were together 10 years on 2nd x-masday. Since we just became proud parents i thought it would be time to pop the question... took a pic with my SPV of a wedding ring and mms-ed it to her, she replied with an mms screaming yeaaaaahhhhhhhh whoooohoooooo :D So now a date has to be set :lol: [edit] A new phone would come in handy since hers is broke and she now has to use a 3310 :cry: [/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chauhan_vijay Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Here's my story.... went travelling throughout europe last summer and took my fone (SPV original) and quickly became known as the guy with the cool fone! These were mainly aussies and I didnt meet one brit in europe.... anyway through the endless nites of fun i was having in europe I lost the SPV :roll: , I still believe it was nicked......anyway 21 cities and 7 countries later I bump into someone I had met in Paris and said that they had been handed a fone that belonged to a friend of theirs.......it was my SPV! I was well chuffed, more importantly I hadn't lost any numbers and email addresses of all the top people I had met.... Still cant believe that after all the travelling and the distance I'd covered I had my SPV back......GENIUS!!! But the time has come to part as it is very battered and am in need of the e200... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kiri Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I got my girl with the help of my good looks! And my qtek... A girl at my new school saw my qtek, I showed her all you could do with it, after that she wouldn't let me have my phone for myself, she made me download videoclips with madonna so she could show everyone... A bit annoying I must say... One day she wanted to borrow it, to listen to music. And well, I havent got it back yet... But that's ok, now she's mine and she has claimed the phone. Girls are such geeks to :D Nothing cuter than watching her play Tokitori and fail, so the big guy can come and help her. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spidey Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 8) I was mister cool. New phone, cool looking gadget, shiny new device. What more can I ask, I was the king of the world. :lol: I got oodles of ogles every time I took the phone out in public. Technology fascinates, a modern jewelry that only the techie can appreciate. Yet, to the non techie, even if they don't understand it's still jewelry anyway. The colored screens are the set gems, illuminating like rubies and sapphires, mesmerizing and alluring. It was understandable that eyes would be glued and heads turned. So the Smartphone is king and cool. Can it be bait to catch fish and keep? :?: I spied a lady nice. Warm smile and sophisticated. Can the Smartphone come true? Of course it can. A jewel to techie and non techie. And we all know that girls love jewelry. Will this shiny phone, so nice and true be the magnet that lures her eyes to me. We'll see. I flashed the phone. (had a friend ring it too) The coolest tune, I had it sound. Expectations galore in my heart had set. (nice ringtones should really do the trick and when her eyes should see that phone I hold ... oooh that should be it) I waited a moment. Took the Smartphone out of my pockets with mien of confident yuppie. I gazed at the phone. Victory in my face. I looked so cool. I held it to my ear and freshly said "Hello!" I turned my gaze and looked at the lady dear. Gasp in my heart, gasp in my heart. She looked. She looked at me and my phone. With James Bond eyes I looked back and with James Bond impression of smile, I tried. (I hope I had a James Bond effect on her) Pretty lady smiled. This is it. THEN A soft music sounded. Inside the lady's bag. Oh no it can't be. Another Smartphone she held. Just like mine. "Hello" She smiled a Julia Robert's smile. With Julia Roberts' eyes too. (and that Smartphone made me think it was Julia Roberts too) Stuck in the pavement was I, with mouth agape and eyes unblinking. Smartphone to Smartphone what can I do? I looked as she went away.... away from me. Obviously amused and knowing that she was cool too. (cool even without the phone.... I was trying to get her attention wasn't I?) Oh well!!!! Most people never get it right on the first try anyway. I laughed and held my smartphone up high. I smiled and grinned. I can try again. Oh, big mistake. Some guy snatches the phone out of my hands. The bait has attracted the wrong kind of fish. Everybody wants a Smartphone. He's not going to get mine. I'll catch him. Darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nach Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 My story is kinda wierd but happy in the end. I was on the phone with my motorola mpx200 and my date had cancelled on me. So, sitting alone and bored, I went to play dope wars (its addicting, pun intended). I noticed then, peering over my shoulder was a very pretty girl whos name was lisa. I had seen her before but never approached her. She asked what I was doing and I said playing dope wars. Naturally, this intrigued her since dope wars isnt the most common name for a game. I showed her how I could have movies and stuff on the phone and eventually she asked me where I kept my phone numbers and she put her number in my phone! So now, 2 months later, lisa is my girl and all is well but I have no money for a valentines day gift! A smartphone would be right up her ally. Im pretty sure anyone can agree that a smartphone is the ultimate ice breaker. Thanks for the chance everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
