The biggest Christmas present of all

This is the motherload
I am so thrilled to be able to give this away, Its an amazing titanium and carbon fiber Nokia Atre, These retail around $1500, myself and Chris Kennedy had a play around with it below.
Since this is such a valuable phone, I would ask that you donate €5 to The Crumlins Children Hospital to support its childrens cancer ward, its completely up to you, you can enter without donating but all donations are gratefully accepted, just click the button below.
The winner of the Nokia Arte was Keith Bohanna Thanks everyone for contributing a grand total of €1222.00

So usual rules apply, none leave a comment and you can win the phone, I will ship by DHL on Tuesday and will announce the winner Monday night.
This phone was donated by Irish Nokia distributor BPI Telecom, I met these guys a few weeks ago at an event, seriously I have never met a more genuine bunch of lads, their enthusiasm for the mobile space is incredible. They work very closely supporting The Jack and Jill foundation and Crumlins Childrens Hospital. If you want anything in the mobile space from a plug to an Arte these are the go to guys.

Share and Enjoy:

Great idea and sounds like a great cause. If you give to me I will immediately run another contest here in the US for Children’s Hospital Boston.

Lets see how much this phone can raise globally…

Posted by Brian Honan 19th December, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Pat

As someone who uses the Jack & Jill charity to support our son I just want to say thank you for what you have been doing here to promote their worthy cause. I can testify first hand the work they do is invaluable to the families they support.

I would also encourage everyone else to donate any old phones they have to Jack & Jill and/or to support the children’s hospital.
Posted by Conor Reidy 19th December, 2008 at 10:13 pm
That is a beautiful phone.
Posted by CT Moore 19th December, 2008 at 10:23 pm
My baby-mama takes all my money, so I can’t afford a cool phone… Please pity me…
Posted by Ambrose 19th December, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Saw this recently and it looks awesome!
My son won one on ebay, but the seller went AWOL! Despite a western union request he thankfully did Paypal, so should get his money back. A win would be a nice xmas surprise for him.

Pat,

Awesome contest! I would love to win and cover this on a new site I am kicking off soon. I couldn’t find a way to change the donation amount so I sent you a donation from my PayPal account directly. Great cause and as a father of three I sympathize with those parents and children experiencing cancer.

Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas.

Hi Pat !
Nice looking handset – but you have found a way to get even better use out of it !
No matter whether each poster donates the €5 or not , the Childrens Hospital will benefit from the ‘plug’ : and thanks for that . I live near enough to the Hospital and , as a mother of three , have had many ‘occasions’ to avail of its services .

comment to win a phone?

The pressure of a pre-christmas witticism…. Had to give up after the second glass of red… because you know you’ll only get stupider….

Merry Christmas all the same, hope I win, but if not, hope someone worthy does. And well done for doing something for the kids out in Crumlin. Kudos.
