Happy Christmas, win a Nokia E63

To celebrate Christmas this year I have sent out the begging bowl to a numbers of friends in the industry and have come up with a bunch of goodies, I am going to give stuff away most days.
Today its the fantastic Nokia E63

There are lots of reviews around but I love it, this phone is not even released everywhere yet and is valued around €400, its completely unlocked and will work on any network.
So what do I want?
Nothing, Nada, just leave a comment and I will have an independent friend run all comments through a randomizer, one the commentors will get the phone.
The winner is Niall Harbison of ifoods.tv
Comments are now closed. enjoy Niall
Please though if you have a bunch of phones hanging around why not donate them to the Jack & Jill foundation, they do amazing work and everyone has a bunch of old phones somewhere.

218 comments...What do you think?

Nice idea and a good way to plug the Jack and Jill phone appeal. We’re sending them all the old phones we had in the office (packet is sitting on desk in office!)

Wonderful idea Pat, at the very least because i will now be able to ditch the terrible n95 8gb keypad for a proper one!
Posted by Cary 13th December, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Free phones are awesome!
Posted by Jill 13th December, 2008 at 1:55 pm
What a great service! Old phones coming your way. I love the graphics too. Keypads in their tummies… very cute.
Posted by John P 13th December, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Yes, great idea Pat!

J&J often have prepaid plastic envelopes in the Sunday papers too, to make it even easier to return and recycle your old handsets …

Merry Christmas, Pat!
Posted by John O'Shea 13th December, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I’ll gladly donate my k800i (and my backup phone) if I win this! Bloody O2 won’t offer anything like this as an upgrade, help me out of the dark ages here Pat!

Excellent Idea Pat-How kind of you!
Posted by Eoin 13th December, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Great idea.. I have a veritable mobile phone grave yard of clapped out Nokias and the likes..
I’ll gather and dispatch asap..

Great competition Pat!
Posted by Dan Thornton 13th December, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Great idea, and it’s reminded me I’ve definitely got at least a couple of old phones laying around…so old I suspect they’d raise a good price on the Antiques Roadshow - will have to check out if there’s an age-limit on donations!
Posted by Shane O'Grady 13th December, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Great idea! If I win J & J will get current Nokia
Posted by Primal Sneeze 13th December, 2008 at 2:08 pm
I sent 3 handsets to the J&J the week before last. If my name’s pulled out of this draw they’ll be getting number 4 from me.

Happy Christmas Pat! Gave about 6 phone from our office to Jack & Jill earlier in the year, you’ve reminded me that we should do it again.

PS. Would love an E63

Great way to plug this! My school tied it into recycling week and we collected over 400 phones!
Posted by Gerald Buckley 13th December, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Pat - Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope your travel have been great. No need to put me in the draw… have no need for the phone just wanted to wish you well. ~Gerald

My lovely wife struggles to be productive when out and about with her Series 40 Nokia 6233. I’m sure she’d be thrilled to hand it over to J&J if she could have a Series 60 device

Hi Pat,

Love the giveaway idea.

The phone recycling foundation is an even better one. As much as I enjoy testing new wireless devices, there’s no need to destroy the earth to satisfy my need to communicate in new and innovative ways.

Keep up the good work!

Great idea, Santa Pat. I heard about this from @1938media.
Posted by Ezra Butler 13th December, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I would kill to have a E63.
Well, I would think about killing, but I am really against murder. But if I would lose all my morals, it would be up there on the list of things to kill for.

Happy Holidays! (I.E. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannuka, Happy Kwanzaa)
Posted by Kimberlee 13th December, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Fantastic idea, and way to support recycling your old phones!

The phone looks beautiful, what a great present for any lucky winner.

I think donating phones to a worthy cause is a wonderful thing. Would hate the shipping costs to Ireland, though, so maybe I’ll donate some to a local charity instead?

There’s nothing like it down here in NZ, Pat, but well done mate! I love seeing the Christmas spirit all around
Posted by Edward McGarr 14th December, 2008 at 6:30 am
Pat, can I safely hang it around my neck? Does it have a little anchor point for a halter?
Posted by mick lynch 14th December, 2008 at 7:11 am
Great idea. although looking at this list of comments, i’ve more chance with a lottery ticket!
Posted by Meno 14th December, 2008 at 8:30 am
Merry Christmas and thanks for the chance.

Yes, please.

Ok, I’m on the nice list I think but I can’t count on it. Pick me!

Wondering what will emerge from this random-ness
Posted by Tim 14th December, 2008 at 9:45 am
Saw the plug on mulley.net, and thought that I’d join the masses!
Cheers Tim

Season Greetings from Austria, everyone! Awesome idea!

I’ve only just got my first ever phone, but I like the idea of giving it away.

I woke up this morning dreaming of the “Jack and Pat Foundation.” It has a mobile phone ring to it.

Happy Christmas Pat!

I have about six squillion phones I must hand in to that appeal…

Merry Christmas Pat from commenter 196!
Posted by Zaniac 14th December, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Wired were raving about this phone in their November issue, I’m probably going to get it’s younger brother - the E51, for myself but of course If I’m lucky enough to be random enough to win this sexy beast then I won’t have to! Merry Christmas all the same Pat and I’ll definitely chuck my old nokia in a Jack and Jill bin whatever the outcome.
Posted by Sam 14th December, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Merry Christmas to you Pat!
Posted by Niall 14th December, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Hey, this is a brilliant idea! I’m gonna see about donating my old phones to Jack and Jill now.
Posted by Joe Lennon 14th December, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Great idea Pat, Happy Christmas! Judging by the number of comments alone I’d say this post has greatly raised awareness of the J&J foundation. Our office collects and sends phones to them regularly.
Posted by Mark Cahill 14th December, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Great idea to highlight a great cause. At the rate we go through mobile phones in Ireland there should be loads hanging around our houses or work places. I recently gave two to Jack and Jill foundation, these were sitting in the drawer gathering dust. I am very happy they are gone to a good home. Happy Christmas - a time to think of others instead of just thinking of ourselves!
Posted by Justin Mason 14th December, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I donated a couple of phones to the Jack & Jill thing a while back. great way to recycle them…
Posted by Reda 14th December, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Merry Xmas!
Posted by Coastal Aussie 14th December, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Great message, and pretty looking phones - count me in too please. Merry Christmas.
Posted by Paul Anthony 14th December, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Perhaps a brand new phone
could potentially make me drop
The brick I hold so dear.
I’ll give it to Jack and Jill.

;o)
Posted by Nessa 14th December, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Alrite Pat,
Nice idea you got there and truth be told I’m a fan of Jack n Jill. I likes the phone but I draws a line at begging.
Have a nifty Christmas,
Ness

That’s damn decent of you, Pat. I has to be better than the Nokia N95 I’m currently using.
