Android phone giveaway

This applies only to anyone who has a current published Android app.

Damn! I’m so unlucky to be born in Brazil !

I would qualify, except I don’t have the rating. :frowning: I have 2.5 stars, mostly because people are freaking stupid. I get a bunch of 1 star reviews saying “I have never heard of any of these absolutely free songs!” and “the app should support more songs!” even though it does if they would just read. My favorite is getting a 1 star review that says “this app is great, I love it!”. Freaking morons!

I disagree teletubo! Brazil has hot HOT women! :slight_smile: And the people are so nice.

Well, I may just have to start liking Google again. And to think, I’ve been accumulating all this bitterness and hatred since GDC2! Just got an email letting me know Google is giving me a Nexus One or Droid phone for placing in the top 200 of the GDC2. Yay!!! :smiley:

Are you so easily bribed? ;D

Awesome marketing by Google! It costs them nearly nothing, and they gain serious goodwill among developers.

I hope Apple sends me an iPad for selling 600 copies of a game. :stuck_out_tongue:

haha, wouldnt count on it, google is much awesomer than apple(no need for heated debate…)

plz… go back to school… :stuck_out_tongue:

500,000 d/ls, 3.5 star rating, finalist in ADC2 …but I live in Australia. :’( But I filled out the form anyway and stuck in a friends UK address. 8)

Let me know if this works for you … then I’ll have some of my German friends to get a Nexus One for me :slight_smile:

Yes, yes I am! :slight_smile:

A lot of people put a lot of effort into the contest. I felt they should have spread the prizes out thinner. An awesome new phone helps! :slight_smile:

Apple, FTL!

;D +1

EDIT: sry for the hate Apple :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL ;D

I really love the review I have that praises m,y game and ends: “5 Stars!!” And then the rating is a 4 (and it’s not because its been changed since - it was like that from the start). :wink:

But the market really is filled with a lot of rampant negativity. I don’t mind 1 star ratings in particular (as I know my app is never going to be the type that is “popular”), but I do wish they would be a bit more literate than “sux” or at least indicative of the person rating it being able to read.

You’re not the only one! :wink:

Apple is the only IT company on earth I hate more than Microsoft.

I’m really hoping, for humanity’s sake, that for some reason the only people who take the time to review are the complete morons and that there are actually some intelligent people out there somewhere.

C’mon Google, where is my damn phone!? :smiley:

So Ranger, did this work out for you ?

As far as I can tell, most phones to Europe have not yet been delivered. I know I am patiently waiting for one. There have been quite a few post on the android dev mailing list about people not having received them.

For me it is a bit annoying as I about to buy a nexus one and then the day before ordering it I get this email to say Google is giving me one. 7 weeks later and still waiting…

I got a Droid a few weeks ago. Hope you guys get yours soon. The wait for me was brutal and it has been a lot longer for you guys. :frowning:

Why?

Because they are even more horrible to their developers. Because they are greedy bastards. Because their technology sucks.
