My phone is so old they don’t even make it anymore. I had to look it up on the Sprint website under “old devices”. Not making that up here it is: http://www.sprintpcs.com/pages/old_devices.html
it is a Samsung SCH-8500 (mine is black). Here is a picture (bottom of page right):

It has a green screen and futuristic dot matrix technology, not seen since the days of the Commadore 64 or the Apple IIe

Thanks for the contest.
on June 30, 2007 at 11:09 AM - LINKI don’t deserve one, but my wife sure as hell does.
on June 30, 2007 at 11:17 AM - LINKShe works 12 hours per day so that I can stay home with our kids. When she does get home she spends all her time with the kids and goes to all her activities. This device would really help her multi-task and free up some time.
I would love an iphone, but the person who really deserves one is my husband. Five years ago he proposed a new public high school in one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York City. The proposal was accepted and a few days ago—after four years of indescribably hard work—they graduated their first seniors. About 80% of the kids graduated and another 4-5% should graduate in August. These are kids who entered 9th grade well-below level, many not speaking English, many from homes with significant family challenges. Most of the kids not only completed high school, but are now college bound. The school that previously existed in this neighborhood, serving this population, graduated 23% of students. So, try to imagine how much time and energy and love and tears he’s put in as a teacher and assistant principal to make this possible. Many of the kids have told me that he’s like a second father to them—but he is also an amazing dad to his own child, and a great husband.
He is a gadget geek and really wants this phone. I wanted to surprise him with it as a year-end gift, but even if I could get my hands on one, we can’t afford it. He is truly deserving and I would be incredibly grateful if you would help me congratulate him for his hard work and success in making a difference for hundreds of kids who really needed it.
Thanks for this contest and your great site.
on June 30, 2007 at 11:21 AM - LINKI would love to have an iPhone to replace my unreliable Treo 700wx. Plus it might be the first step in making me an Apple lover…
on June 30, 2007 at 11:43 AM - LINKI absolutely must have an iPhone. I spend all day at work watching video’s about it. I spend all night at home reading websites about it. iPhone fever has CONSUMED my life, and until I get one, I don’t think I can ever be a functioning adult. Please Appletell, help me be normal again.
on June 30, 2007 at 12:05 PM - LINKI deserve an Iphone because so I can watch movies when working late hours….
on June 30, 2007 at 12:29 PM - LINKIf I won an iPhone, I would use it for everyday use such as talking on the phone, listening to music, and surfing the internet.
on June 30, 2007 at 12:39 PM - LINKI need an iPhone because I use a Blackberry in a Mac environment at work. Needless to say, Blackberry’s interface on the Mac is basic. With a Mac and an Iphone, I’d be able to unlock the full potential of mobile phones and show the powers that be that if we are a Mac shop, then lets be an Apple shop!
on June 30, 2007 at 01:27 PM - LINKI deserve an iphone because my current phone is the trs-80 of phones.
on June 30, 2007 at 02:03 PM - LINKFor my contest submission, I made you guys picture using powerpoint just to prove how much I work.
Long days and late nigts force me to get creative*… even if its with the most bland piece of software. Winning this Apple iPhone would make working from the bar easier :op
* I have no graphic design background

Well, I was one of those who was dead set on getting an iphone day one , but as life has it, it didn’t work out that way. Turns out I have a little girl who wanted a puppy for her birthday this year and yes, her birthday is in June. So that money I had been saving for my new phone went on the newest member of our family a cute American Eskimo Puppy named Cotton. While I still long to hold that iphone I know in the long run waiting wasn’t a bad idea, Now I can enter contests to win one : ) and I have a cute ball of fur to rubb for good luck as well. Good luck to all and hopes gen 2 will be out soon and reduced prices and more features!
on June 30, 2007 at 02:19 PM - LINKI WANT THIS PHONE BECAUSE I NEED AN ALL IN ONE, HAND HELD PHONE, THAT I CAN CARRY 4 GIGS OF MY STUFF IN(MUSIC, PICS,DOCS.) AND PLUS I ROCK!!!!!ANDREW
on June 30, 2007 at 02:36 PM - LINKi want an iPhone because as of now i can only afford a crappy zune. And i promise to break the zune and send it to you as a gift if i get the iPhone.
on June 30, 2007 at 04:10 PM - LINKI deserve a iPhone because i never win anything :( and i have been drooling over it for a long time :P
on June 30, 2007 at 04:54 PM - LINKHello,
on June 30, 2007 at 05:01 PM - LINKI am a poor college student in two ways currently: 1. As with most college students, my money is currently tied up in paying for my school. 2. The only GSM carrier where I live (Montana) is not AT&T. We have no Apple stores here either. In order for me to get an iPhone, I would need to travel to Colorado or Idaho (the closest areas with coverage/stores and they are 800+ miles away from me). The iPhone will work here, but this poor college student does not want to travel a great distance and shell out the money for one.
I deserve one because I grew up in Iowa…
on June 30, 2007 at 05:25 PM - LINKI deserve one because I’m a grad student in philosophy and will never have a real job.
on June 30, 2007 at 05:27 PM - LINKI deserve one because my middle name is “random drawing winner.“
on June 30, 2007 at 05:29 PM - LINKNot including canada? what is this?
I hate all of these stupid online contests/giveaways where you completely shun off the rest of the world. Talk about reasons to hate the US…
Internet = International
I’m pretty sure whoever won this would gladly pick up the shipping and handling fees.
Ya, I subscribed to your feed, and I’ve wanted an iPhone for a long time. Long time fan. Wanted a Wii many months before the release, and I only just got one. I just turned 18, and i’m going into engineering next year. This device is definitely a must-have for how busy i’m going to be in the next four years.
on June 30, 2007 at 05:32 PM - LINK-kindly, The Canadian
I like it because it so Vulcanian.
on June 30, 2007 at 05:35 PM - LINKi deserve an iphone because i need to upgrade from my really old ipod and my damaged phone
on June 30, 2007 at 05:45 PM - LINKI deserve the iPhone because I’m a felon with no job. No job will hire me because of my stupid ass not affording a lawyer to fight what I was not guilty of(I pleaded the guilty plea). My ex-wife (Who I married at age 17) cheated on me and we separated, weeks pass and the anger grew in me…......I decided to steal her stuff which was already mine and got to go to jail for it. So as my life keeps bringing me down with no job and a cheap 1 ghz xp machine, its the only technology that has brought me hope…..One could always imagine what it could feel like to have the latest edge in technology….like the iPhone.
on June 30, 2007 at 06:08 PM - LINKI want to be the only person on Besboro with an iPhone.
on June 30, 2007 at 06:25 PM - LINKI’m 18 and just starting out into real estate. I have $4000 set aside to help me get clients and start up a web-based business catering to FSBOs. I need something to help me organize my client list and be able to use for the business side of my life.
on June 30, 2007 at 06:29 PM - LINKI have a dog Gracie. I am retiring. I want to spend my retirement trying to save the world. I need to be connected while I am out doing the above together.
