It’s giveaways week here at Gizmodo, and we kicked things off with an HTC Sensation eXtreme Edition Android phone, valued at $999, for one lucky reader. I just read through 380 haikus — and the winner is...
Adam!
This is my lament
Dropped Android on Cement
Giz be my Santa?
Merry Xmas Adam, we’ll be in touch via email today!
This competition is now closed.
The Sensation XE is nicely kitted out, and it should be even more impressive come 2012 when it gets upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. But you don’t have to wait until then to win the handset we’re giving away.
To enter, just write a technology-themed, 5-7-5 haiku in the comments below. That means 3 lines: 5 syllables first line, 7 syllables second line and then 5 again. Example:
Whitecaps on the bay:
A broken signboard banging
In the April wind.
- Richard Wright
Entries close Wednesday December 14 at 10am, so get cracking. Full terms and conditions here (and the handset as it ships is locked to Vodafone, if you were wondering).

Running on an old Android
could be upgraded.
(rejectionline.com.au, current being powered by an old Samsung i7500 and Android 1.6… I’d put my current Samsung Galaxy i9000 on there and keep the HTC ;) )
