    Kizer, Thank you very much for your vote, thanks for understanding what position im in, and if i do win a chance to receive this phone i can continue to write up wonderful reviews about the new apps that are coming out everyday, since my touchscreen isn't working its gonna be pretty diffcult to test out apps / games that utilize the touchscreen alot :/

    thanks once again.
  7. I VOTE DrVeronica
  8. Vote for myself
  9. It's beautiful.

    You said free AT&T card but it's T-Mobile. You should reward me with the phone now.
  10. I'm gonna vote JohnnyLiscious, because he provides some good reviews, always on top of things, and has a friendly attitude. You're doing a good job bro.

    Lets go Lakers
  11. I nominate myself and would appreciate any others saying my name also.... though I am not the best on this forum I do NEED a new phone
  12. I know there are a lot members on AC that deserves this limited edition Android phone, but I must nominate *Susan*. She's worked hard to keep AC going day in and day out.
  13. Hi vote for me. I would love to be "Mr. Android community"

    I represent the beautiful state of California. I have degrees in Engineering and Business. I love to take long walks on the beach and my hope for all mankind is world peace. My measurements are 44-34-nice and round. I can't wait for the swimsuit round.

    Oooooops! Sorry! I thought this was another contest. Nevermind.
  14. While my "Vote" doesn't really count, I urge you guys to nominate Susan for the prize. I think she works really had to keep AC up and running, and definitely deserves it.
  15. I vote nitro for his excellent support for the Touchdown application.

    I SECOND THAT EMOTION!

    (And if she wants to pass it off to whomever , that will be up to her)


  17. If you guys really want to know. I think it should be either Haykuro or JF. I know Haykuro is a member, I'm not sure on JF. No one has contributed more than those two. My personal vote is for Haykuro, he definitely deserves it.
  18. voting for my self

    new around here, nice blog
  19. Hi damichi, welcome to AC!
  20. voting for nguyen. you deserve it yourself!

    It might be a good idea to read the competition rules before you post, considering it clearly states the competition is for US users only.

    Anyway.....I can't decide between *susan* and JohnnyLicious. It's too tough to call, both of them contribute a lot to making this place what it is.

    Hmmmmmm..........I need more time to choose.
  23. Susan, she is dedicated. Props.
  24. Susan gets my vote. Its tough being an admin, she puts a lot of work into keeping the peace around here. And I love the way she makes a point of welcoming everyone she can to the forums.
    I didn't get a welcome though...
    Still, give it to Susan.
  25. Susan gets my vote!!!

    I would have gotten a phone but I could not make it...darn!

    Oh well
  26. Congrats Susan, I think you will win and you are very deserving of it.
  27. another vote for susan, the spamminator!
  28. lol @johnny your signature makes me laugh. idk why
  29. thanks alot everyone :]

    @wugui haha i know right.

  37. uh can i vote for that lazygenius guy and susan? they seem like pretty cool ppl....
  38. Johnnylicious!!! Has helped me out multiple times in the past. Great dude and currently Android-less...

  43. I vote for myself, because I would love to have a new Android phone to kick off my attempts at developing an app.

I would like to get HTC Magic for my cousin who is deep into development but he has no proper resource to fulfil his quest .. he stays in india and he has a computer that he bought used and that too which has 256 mb ram p3 and he still he runs win 98 hopefully I would be giving him my old laptop but along with that I would give him HTC magic too he would be crazy and surely he would develop stuffs ......for 1st 30 days I would use it as India has no tmobile carrier

  48. Tally up another one for Susan.

    No offense but haykuro and jf don't come here yes they have done amazing things for some of us but haykuro already has a paypal
  50. My vote goes to DrVeronica just because a while back my touchscreen screen was acting up she had a good write up on trouble shooting the thing. she was helping this other person step by step and one of those things did the trick.

  60. Hey were we suppose to put our reason for choosing the person? I choose Dr. Veronica because she is ALWAYS online, always replying to my questions or comments fast. And no offense to the MODS on here who have to get involved, but she is NOT a mod and is all over the replies and help so, i just find that to be something to vote for.

  63. I vote for Johnnylicious.. After 'SEARCHING' this site for an answer to some of my G1 questions, I found most of his comments/inputs to have helped me a lot.

    Plus I goto show luv for my fellow Laker's fan!

    Also his 'Thread Police' antics crack me up!! LOL
  64. I Vote For Susan, Dr. Veronica, Or Johnny.
  65. Not me, that phone is fugly.
  66. I want this so bad let me have it I will do any thing
  67. thanks again everyone who voted for me i appreciate it very much!

    good luck to the other names mentioned!!
  68. I too must cast my vote for *susan*
  69. The first people I think of when I think of this site are johnny, susan, the lazy genious, and dr veronica. Those are my votes. If its only one then I choose johhny.

  72. i vote for johnnylicious, i see him post the most info and he deserves it since his phone is borked. even though i hate the lakers for knocking out the rockets, i'm putting my vote for johnnylicious.
  73. Vote for me because i am very dedicated to android.
  74. i vote for myself! it would get me the plundge i need to come to tmob from sprint.
  75. definitely a vote for susan. I don't post much around here (though I've been a member for a while ) but she makes it a very enjoyable experience to go through the forums.

    here is to hoping susan wins
  76. Id like to vote for johnnylicious
  77. I'll vote for Dr. Veronica for cluing me in to a great deal on class 6 cards at a local retailer. The idiots at the store didn't advertise the special, and when I called about class 6 cards they didn't bother to mention them.

  85. US residents only???

    nice to see you understand what the first "w" in www stands for and the fact that the majority of people are from outside the States
  86. First post of the forum and it's a vote? WOW.

    Yeah, I think it should be voided.


  87. I think they're talking about you Jeff LOL
  88. I normally use this crap for upgrading my phone and you think I should be posting messages to talk about crap that doesn't matter. I use forums to take care of my crap, I spend most of my time writing music, making sure my mj plants aren't dying, and with my girlfriend. Your life should be voided and ur g1 should be taken away from you for even stating such a comment.

    Google will sell a phone to almost anyone these days..



    p.s. I hope you lose to veronica by a vote too ya doucheeeeeee.

    Okay gangster that grows marijuana named Jeff Gale. I don't care who wins it, I don't even want it. If I did, I would vote for myself, but I didn't.

    No need to get all pissed off, ya freaking e-thug.
  90. e-thug e-shrugs, why are you still posting.

    Because I can e-thug, better go check on your marijuana plants to make sure they aren't dying.
  93. LOL! O man, I just died laughing reading this. Um yeah people, Jeff here likes to "lurk" and just read up on modding...so I guess that's why he's pretty "quiet" around here......Jeff, behave yourself, and no more e-thug'n LOL

    I know A/C has had a lot of lurkers...and a lot have contacted me on AIM to ask for help...so I don't understand why all the fuss with x number of posts = a "right" to vote anyway.

    First thread cops now voting cops, what the **** is next? lol


    Jesus
  94. Thanks for the concern or is it consiern.
    I just changed nutes and the flowering ones are being flushed now.
    Jar'd up if anyone wants to stop by I got plenty waiting.
    Just be sure you're ready for some super silver haze, arjan's haze #3, super lemon haze, and some northernbright (northern lights x haze). arjan's haze #3 is the best btw. It's recommended along with a g1 to laugh at other phones and if you wanna get so high every puff goes up a level and a half.

    As you can tell I stay up.

    how about e-hugs now?

    ::e-hugs everyone::
  96. Just thought it was weird how someone's first post is a vote for someone to win a prize.

    Mighty convenient time to make a username and vote though. Since we know you DrVeronica, we can take your word for it.

    But say if it was, "darius" getting a ton of votes from new usernames, we would all be asking ourselves the same '1 post' thing.
  97. nah i got you.

    God no .
  115. I nominate and vote for me because nobody else is going to do it. Plus, I don't really want the Magic, and thus I cannot be disappointed when I don't win. If by some strange, twisted and cruel fate I do win it, the thing is going up on eBay with no reserve!

    Thank you.

    I see nothing wrong with them voting (although it would be interesting to check the ip's on them, to see if any are similar) as for voting for themselves I think abay rules should apply, minimum 20 posts... but then the odss of them actually winning are slim to none at this point, so I guess it's all a moot point.


    But I've gotten two votes for designdawg, need more votes for the double duece folks, bring it on home!
