Competition: Score Yourself A… Blackberry Bold

2:00PM January 19, 2009 | Kym Weathersten

BlackBerry_withPhone.jpgWell, we ever so subtly hinted at it, and now it’s here. Thanks to FOX8′s new action/game/reality/whatever-other-description-you-can-think-of program The Phone, we have 4 Blackberry Bolds to give away, valued at $999. To enter, simply watch tonight’s premiere of the The Phone on FOX8 at 8.30pm and answer this two part question;

  • What is the final clue to the first memory card (hint: you’ll find it at the petrol station), and
  • Using the comments field below, tell us in 25 words or less what challenge you would make the contestants face if you were the ‘Clue Master’.

Entries close January 21st at 5pm. Just a word of warning, though; the comp is also running on our sister sites Kotaku and Defamer. So to beat all those game and gossip-heads and win the high speed smartphone, with LCD screen, you’ll need to be extra creative…

The Phone premieres 8.30pm tonight, on FOX8.

    What an awesome show!

    I would have a clue put inside the brain of the girl who was competing last night – because she didn’t have a clue!

    1876 – the year Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, it is for the PIN on the EFTPOS card

    My challenge:
    The contestants will be required to read a post on Gizmodo, which contains keywords of a location of the next phone. They need to answer that phone to obtain information of the next memory card.
