One of my primary sources for Windows Phone information – now and going back for as long as Windows Mobile has existed – is PocketNow.com. Well, the prolific, gadget-loving-Windows-Phone-fanboy-videographers at PocketNow are turning 10 this months an are running a sweet contest in partnership with Wirefly to celebrate.
All you need to do to win your choice of devices from Wirefly is to post in this thread on PocketNow why you are the biggest PocketNow fan. Make it a good one!

Are you a world class hacker looking to rake in some sweet pocket change? Well, for one I’d like to welcome you to our site (please don’t hurt us) and two, I’d like to introduce you to the Pwn2Own contest at CanSecWest.
Pwn2Own is currently running both desktop browser hacking challenges as well as mobile operating system hacking challenges. The big five platforms – Windows Mobile, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, and Symbian – are all represented and willing to shell out $10,000 to the hacker that successfully breaks through their security barriers… in exchange for the code, of course.
We don’t know yet how good these mobile OS hackers are, but I’m betting several people will walk away swingin’ a big ol’ bag of cash. The browser hacking challenge has already seen one galant programmer break into Safari in 10 seconds! Nice work!
Check out the whole Pwn2Own itinerary after the jump!
Congratulations go out to Tanya and Jason for winning the two free My Phone beta codes courtesy of Windows Mobile!
We got some great answers from you, our readers and I will be compiling them together and sharing them in a post next week. Plenty of you know what you want out of your phones — maybe if we keep wishing (on the internet in plain sight!) someone will listen to us, huh?
Here’s your last chance! Want one of two free My Phone beta codes?
Tell me, what do you want in a phone? What features do you think would be super cool to have? Which could you live without?
I’ll choose the winners by the end of the day so be sure to watch the site tomorrow morning for your name as I’ll be emailing out the free codes right away!
Good luck!
