Google Wave Invites (CONTEST)!
| by Rob Jackson on October 1st, 2009 |
Alright folks I just got my own official invite to Google Wave and as you may well know, I’ve got 8 invites to share the Wave love. What else would I do with them besides share them with my favoritest of most favoritey-fave people (or sell them on Ebay)! Here is the deal:
I’m giving away ALL 8 invites:
- 2 will be given away to regular readers who post a comment below. Make sure you use a functioning Email address. To qualify you have to – IN ONE SHORT SENTENCE – tell us which Android Phone you like most and why (available/upcoming/rumored all okay). I’ll choose the 2 winners at random 24 hours from now (5pm EST on October 2nd).
- 6 will be given away to subscribers of the Phandroid VIP Newsletter (see right sidebar!) – these will be chosen at random as well and you’ll be Emailed if you win. I’ll continue hooking our VIP Newsletter folks up with opportunities as they become available!
I can’t promise the invitation will amount to immediate access as Google has the following disclaimer:
Invite others to Google Wave
Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.
Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.
Happy waving!
But what I CAN promise you is that if you win… it is your Email address I will be inviting and whatever comes of that is destiny! By the way, if you HAVE Google Wave already and want to meet other wavers, or perhaps don’t have it but want to discuss wave, hit up this Forum Thread I started at AndroidForums:
If you’re still wondering what the heck Google Wave is… I suggest you read up and watch the video below:
Happy waving!

Oh and if you’re wondering why we’re posting about Google Wave on an Android site I have two comments:
- I wanted to give you all something for free!
- Google Wave will work with Android

Sholes/Tao/Droid looks like the best so far… whatever you call it as long as it’s on VZW!

Thanks for giving everyone this kind of opportunity!
5. Nick wrote on October 1, 2009
Verizon’s previous phone limiting (current?) and the fact that it is CDMA dissuade me, but I like the Geeks Phone One as it has a QWERTY and I like that it’s a startup :D.
6. Jason wrote on October 1, 2009
I like the mytouch… because it makes my friends with iphones sad.
7. Michael Johnson wrote on October 1, 2009
I am most excited about the MOTO CLIQ!
I think it’s a very sleek looking phone with the physical keyboard (which I see as a necessity) and the new MOTO BLUR Android UI looks pretty sexy!
8. Bruce wrote on October 1, 2009
Droid on Verizon will make me stay with them. Flash will work (reportedly)! This may be the droid I’m looking for.
9. Peter wrote on October 1, 2009
Sony Xperia X3, the specs are incredibly amazing, probably the only phone without a keyboard I would enjoy.
10. Cooper wrote on October 1, 2009
Scholes, which will be a huge improvement for Verizon in the smartphone department.

I love Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X3 with the huge touch screen and 8MP camera (with flash!).
14. Marvin wrote on October 1, 2009
The recently posted pictures of the shole/droid look pretty sleek. I’m stuck with verizon since all other carriers have very poor reception in my area.

16. Melissa wrote on October 1, 2009
Sholes/Tao/Droid because I tried G1 on T-Mobile for a day and cried as it dropped every call made in my apartment so Verizon has me tied.
17. CJ Millisock wrote on October 1, 2009
I love the Huawei U8230, aka the T-Mobile G3, that you guys covered back in June:

I like the upcoming Verizon Tao phone. I’m stuck on Verizon and it looks like it will be the best phone for the network.

Sprint HTC Hero, because it’s coming out soon and I’ll be buying it and bidding AT&T a fond farewell. That and I can always contribute a few more invites to the cause! :)
20. Christopher P wrote on October 1, 2009
My G1. Mostly because its the only one I’ll have for a while.
21. Jesse wrote on October 1, 2009
I like the Sprint Hero for its awesome list of functions, even if it’s lacking the chin QQ
22. Chris wrote on October 1, 2009
The specs and the custom UI will make this phone truly special!
23. jason wrote on October 1, 2009
Hi! I’m a regular reader and occasional commenter, and I simply must get in on the wave of the future.
I’m dying to get the moto droid because thin is king, and not only will it be the thinnest QWERTY slider on the market, but it’s the thinnest android phone yet rumored to be available in my area before year’s end.
24. NotSoSilent wrote on October 1, 2009
I’ve been waiting for the Hero, I’m on Sprint and they have the best data plans!

28. Mike wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m still totally in love with the hero, the specs are just awesome
29. Tony wrote on October 1, 2009
Qwerty may have made the typewriter slower, but his keyboard is why I want a CLIQ!
30. Jamnoggin wrote on October 1, 2009
HTC Hero because I love how the design of the chin protects the screen and how the RAM is huge. Also, the HTC Sense firmware is the future, today.
31. JL wrote on October 1, 2009
I like the Samsung Galaxy because I own it and because it has T-Mobile’s 3G bands … and because it has an AMOLED screen.
32. Todd wrote on October 1, 2009
I like the myTouch. I also had a G1, but the myTouch is sooooo much better. I wasn’t sure about not having a keyboard, but i like the slim design even more.
33. Peter A wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m hoping the Motorola Sholes/Tao/Whatever gets announced soon because I’m stuck on Android-less Verizon.
34. Ferreira wrote on October 1, 2009
HTC Magic. Just because I’ve got one. :)
35. Shane Donohoe wrote on October 1, 2009
My UK HTC hero. It’s been amazing since I got it and even better with the new rom update. I can actually use those fancy widgets and a lot of the time, they’re even faster than the non htc ones. I wish they had thought of tying picasa in to the pictures, seems so obvious. Maybe it’s due to API limitations.
The Sony Xperia X3 looks proper fancy, like it’s from the future or something (well, it technically is, but I mean many years). I’m not too hot on the look of the interface though. The sholes custom interface looks interesting too.
36. Jeremy wrote on October 1, 2009
Even though I love my MyTouch, the Shole/Tao just looks so sexy.
Lol @ Jason, same with my friends.
37. Rob wrote on October 1, 2009
Here is another vote for the Xperia X3, rachel UI looks amazing!
38. esper wrote on October 1, 2009
Motorola Tao/Sholes/Droid
For having a physical keyboard, look at the size compared to the iPhone. It will be awesome to shut those drones up.
http://sizeasy.com/page/size_comparison/25779-Apple-iPhone-vs-Sholes-1-
If this also isn’t burdened down with any MOTOBlur, and is a Google Experience device then this will be what we’ve all been waiting for.
39. Steven F wrote on October 1, 2009
The Motorola Sholes/Tao because it looks like a beast of a phone and best of all it is on Verizon!
40. Graziano wrote on October 1, 2009
-Hey I would love to have an invite to google wave! -Now the reason why I should get one is because I check your site anywhere from 10 to 15 times a day.
-Just some quick back round info, I actually work for T-mobile and I have been chosen as the representative for HTC numerous times ( Yes I have received the shadows,G1,touchpro2 and MyTouch all free because of this!) So I know all there is to know about android since it first came out, also because I root and mess with all of them.
-Here is my short sentence, The Motorola cliq, why? because it is simply a MT3G BUT with all the perks keyboard and quick access to social networking and android rules all!
P.S. You never said I can’t give all that info you asked for a short sentence ABOUT my choice and why so there it is!

41. Christopher Hays wrote on October 1, 2009
Android Dev Phone 1 has a QWERTY keyboard, is already rooted and unlocked, and is actually out now. Can’t beat that!

I love my myTouch because it’s a beautiful device that just fits better in the hand than the other smartphones I’ve used/had. iPhone.

I love the HTC Hero from Sprint. Sleek, smooth, fast, great battery life, and 1.6 out of the box!

I want the Motorola Toa/Sholes because I want a good Android phone on Verizon!
45. Gunderstorm wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m eagerly awaiting the Sholes/Toa/Droid because of the power!
46. Taylor wrote on October 1, 2009
The Acer android set (A1?) because of the 3.5″ screen size, the faster-than-average processor, the fact that it isn’t (yet) rumored for Verizon, and the price that will be less than the Xperia X3 because it isn’t made by Sony.
47. Ian wrote on October 1, 2009
My favorite so far is the HTC Hero, for which I’m anxiously awaiting a Canadian release. The CLIQ looks very interesting, but I’m not so much into the Facebook/Twitter thing, more into aggregating everything under the people they belong to thing. In that regard they seem tied, but the Hero is so customizable, I can have all my work related information on one Scene, and then on the weekend switch to a social Scene! Brilliant! Sorry for the long post. Also, Google Wave is very desirable to me because I collaborate on research papers with people far away, working at different times, and GWave would make our lives much easier.
48. Unk wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m thinking that I’m gonna have to side with the people who say that they like the Xperia X3 with it’s UI, 8MP camera and (omg) 3.5mm jack.

55. Andrew wrote on October 1, 2009
The Xperia X3 just looks beautiful. The sholes after that.
56. Jayson Bailey wrote on October 1, 2009
I vote for the Samsung Bigfoot. Reason is simple, I have a mytouch and won’t get a new phone for a couple of years, but then everything we’ve seen will be old news. The bigfoot however is green, and so i can talk my girlfriend into using it.
57. elizabeth wrote on October 1, 2009
the motorola cliq.I love android!im tired of apple.
58. Andy wrote on October 1, 2009
The HTC Hero, the specs of other phones are either lower or at same level and it has the Sense UI. Other than Motoblur, there isn’t really anything else that distinguishes their device from others.
59. elizabeth wrote on October 1, 2009
i want the motorola cliq because of the messaging capabilities and the 5 megapixel camera and of course it runs on android!
60. DmitriyZ wrote on October 1, 2009
Motorola Sholes’ UI is awesome, definitely the best one.
61. Drizzle wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m going to have to go with the merlot myTouch because of Whoopi.
62. Scott wrote on October 1, 2009
I like my G1 just fine. Here’s to hoping that 1.6 donut will make it even better.
63. Colin wrote on October 1, 2009
Gotta go with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3. It’s thin, it’s gorgeous, it rocks a 1GHz Snap Dragon, and I’m praying to the gods it will support the 1700 and 2100mhz bands.
64. Jmoney wrote on October 1, 2009
Hero by far and wide.
Rocking g1 w modaco
65. Ben wrote on October 1, 2009
Motorola CLIQ, because of the full qwerty keyboard. the G1’s just wasn’t good enough
66. phwaap wrote on October 1, 2009
Tao|Sholes|Droid. Great looking phone with the best handset OS waiting for me to tweak the hell out of it! Oh, and my NE2 comes up Oct 11!
67. Amidsin wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m currently using G1 and pretty happy with it. If only it would have more RAM then meagerly 192 MB. Correspondingly I would not mind upgrading to Cliq with 256 MB.
Though I will likely postpone upgrading until device with faster processor becomes available. As far as I know there are no rumors about horizontal slider with 800+ MHz processor.
And I would love to try Wave in the meantime :-)
68. Terry wrote on October 1, 2009
my favorite android is the SPRINT HERO. I grabbing it as soon as it drops. I’ve been waiting all summer for an ANDROID device on Sprint!
69. David Taylor wrote on October 1, 2009
Has to be the Hero with a chin! It’s capable (now!), querky, shiny, and will run Google Wave (hopefully)!
70. Rob Loukotka wrote on October 1, 2009
The Sholes/Tao is by far the coolest phone, I’m planning on switching from my G1 to the Sholes when it’s ready!
71. Edgar wrote on October 1, 2009
I absolutely LOVE the HTC Hero for Sprint. It is one sexy looking phone and HTC Sense looks AMAZING.
72. Sancar wrote on October 1, 2009
Motorola Sholes/Tao, because of the looks and impressive specs
73. Rob Loukotka wrote on October 1, 2009
^^ By the way, the reason the Sholes is awesome is because it has bigger screen, and the pictures seem to indicate the 5MP camera will have a FLASH.
74. Jay wrote on October 1, 2009
While the Toa’s hardwares seem’s nice, I really think the Cliq is pretty slick.
75. Dan Miller wrote on October 1, 2009
The Tao/Sholes is the best, if only because it is on the best network in the world in terms of reliability and coverage: Verizon.
76. Russ wrote on October 1, 2009
T-Mob Pulse…biggest screen so far and it has a 3.5mm headphone jack!
77. drouleau wrote on October 1, 2009
The Droid is definitely the best because it’s coming to Verizon, it runs Eclair, and it has a 3.7 inch touch screen and hardware keyboard.
78. Spencer wrote on October 1, 2009
The CLIQ with the qwerty keyboard is reason enough. ;)
79. edgeArchitect wrote on October 1, 2009

The Cliq because it’s on T-Mobile and has an awesome OS!

I like the Sony Xperia 3 since it emits a glamorous image while it keep its sexy slimness. :)
85. Holly wrote on October 1, 2009
It’s all about the Sholes. I hope they don’t change the name – I actually quite like it!
I nearly wet myself with excitement when I read that press release thing about the “XXX” – 5mpixel camera with double flash? That’s two up on the Dext, then. It looks like the perfect phone.
I want to have its babies.
86. Jay wrote on October 1, 2009
I’m torn between the Droid and HTC hero. I love the look and feel of HTC Sense, but I also think Motorola has done some cool things with Moto Blur.
87. stanley wrote on October 1, 2009
the G1 because its so customizable and it has a full qwerty keyboard.
88. JBman wrote on October 1, 2009
G1 is my favorite. Never had issues with it at all. G1 woohoo.
89. Quiksand wrote on October 1, 2009
The Motorola Tao- Ultra thin with Full Qwerty and (possibly) Moto-blur sounds pretty sweet to me.

94. La Malinche wrote on October 1, 2009
I am most excited about the Sholes/Tao, but also worried that VZW is going to cripple it as is their way.
95. Hanger wrote on October 1, 2009
I think the htc hero is the best because it has all the goodness of android rapped into a sexy package of delicious win! Plus it seems htc is gonna keep updating the software often

Hello,
Although I am still in love with my G1, I am liking the looks of the Cliq! G1 lags a bit too much for me, so here is to hoping that the Cliq won’t have that issue.. I am hoping I win both this contest and your Cliq contest!!
103. chase wrote on October 1, 2009
I am in love with the customization and social features of the Sprint HTC Hero.

(I already have a Wave account, so skip me in the drawing).
107. John Vehikite wrote on October 1, 2009
I like G1 the most, because I just got it two days ago and already modded Cyanogen style. :)
108. Phil wrote on October 1, 2009
I like the Sholes/Tao because it will be the first thin Android phone with a physical keyboard even though ironically it may be the first with a big enough screen to make using the softkeyboard practical.
109. Kmassada wrote on October 1, 2009
Sticking with the HTC Dream,
the keyboard and both touchscreen are awesome, not a big fan of touchscreen only. the position of the scroll ball makes it easy to handle in both portrait and landscape direction. Hardware wise, i’m pretty much satisfied with the RAM and internal memory it has to give. Rooting permitted me to overclock it to work as fast as the iphone even with 40+ apps installed, and 7 heavy apps running simultaneously. the feel for the phone is amazing, it is the phone that looks less like plastic, HTC, usually don’t have good taste for phone texture, but the slickness of this phone is legendary. the little bump it got on the side gives it a unique identity.
Thanks for the opportunity..
110. Josh wrote on October 1, 2009
I am looking forward to the T-Mobile Pulse when it comes out for T-Mobile USA, hopefully! 3.5″ screen, I have issues with a 3.2″ screen on the MyTouch, guess size does matter, crap…
111. Jon A wrote on October 1, 2009
I have been internet stalking the Motorola Sholes/Tao/XXX for MONTHS and I can’t wait to pre-order. It’s slim, it’s got full qwerty and it’s fast. This will be my first smartphone to be used as a personal device and also a business tool for amping up my tutoring business here on campus. Not to suck-up, but I follow your tweets and relay the best ones to my communications technology Professor!

126. gst wrote on October 1, 2009
Currently I like my developer-G1 most. While it is a little bit thick for daily usage, the main advantage is that I can run the developer images from HTC. While it may be possible to “crack” other Android phones to be able to install custom firmware, I prefer the “official” way of using the developer phone.
127. Nick wrote on October 1, 2009
HTC Hero for me (non-US version) because I love the chin and trackball (and i just sold an iphone!)
128. Zack wrote on October 1, 2009
Currently, favorite android phone is my Tilt, mostly cause it shows some of the true spirit of android by porting it and drivers to a non android phone.

Well, my phavorite phone? I am still in the maket looking for a solution. I am finished with my VZ contract and decided to start looking for a replacement phone. I fell in love with the idea of Android and now I can’t seem to make a decision. Everything is happening so fast. I too check this site 10-15 times per day. I think I’ll vote for the Hero since I like the Sprint plan from a cost stanpoint and the phone’s specs look pretty great. I wish I could fast forward a year and see all the options. There is a lot going on.

Be back in the job market soon, so I will have to pay for a cell phone – first time in 12 years! With that in mind BUDGET is my sticking point – so I think Sprint is my winner. That said I like the InstinctQ or the hero – hard to decide. ;-)

I don’t think the perfect Android handset has been released yet. I’m currently using the HTC Magic and lamenting the absence of a light sensor and physical keyboard. Also, what the heck is with Google’s resurrection of the trackball?
I very much like the look of Sony’s Xperia X3. I think my next Android handset will definitely need a physical keyboard though. Here’s hoping someone can make one of those that doesn’t turn the whole phone into an ugly duckling! /crossfingers

The HTC Hero is my favorite so far (I think the reasoning is obvious). But I won’t get it because it is Sprint (and my parents won’t change their family plan for me).
So I guess I’ll have to go with the MyTouch (unless T-Mobile comes with a better one before January).

I’m most excited about the Motorola Sholes/Tao, because of the devices powerful specs and the fact that it will probably be the first android phone released that is not using a Qualcomm chipset, instead its will most likely have the Texas Instruments OMAP 3430; from a technical aspect it is very exciting to see android being used on other chipsets.

I really like the looks of the Hero, but the Qualcomm 528Mhz processors seem “old.” I’m waiting until more specs are available on the InstinctQ… if it’s got a processor faster than 528Mhz, it’ll be the winner.
If not, I may just wait until the next generation of Android phones are released on Sprint that feature 700Mhz+ processors.

279. Rachel wrote on October 2, 2009
I’m definitely hooked on the Sholes/Tao/Droid! LOVE the QWERTY slider, would have a phone without it. The 5pm camera w/flash & zoom is a huge plus for me as is the rumored interface & phone/internet search combined. Can’t wait for it’s release! :)

I love the look and feel of the hero can’t wait for it to come out.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X3: Sony make the best optics for phones and arguably the best hardware. With snapdragon and their custom UI, this will be the phone to beat.

9 days until i buy that HTC Hero mi agigo! Thanks for the coverage of the modding/C&D (maybe add more features on modding in general?), i found yours to be pretty even handed when the majority of bytes out there were frothing fanatic forum posts or condescending corporate code.

I cannot see past the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3, however I would jump over to the hero now if it took better pictures and video (with a camera hardware button)

I am extremely excited about the Sholes/Tao however I’m not so sure about Verizon.

Sholes/Tao/Droid: Higher Res, larger screen, better processor, and more memory than my G1. And VZ has better coverage here than T-Mo.
288. jake wrote on October 2, 2009
Personally, I still love my G1, it can get pretty slow and laggy but it dose what I want! Another full (FULL as in 123 keys separate) qwerty keyboard phone would be great though.

I like my MyTouch the best because I think it looks the nicest of all the other Android phones out there right now.

Hi all,
I’m writing on behalf of over 200 Lifehacker readers who have joined together in their effort to get Google Wave. We started the list in response to the incredible number of responses to yesterday’s Lifehacker post about Wave invites, realizing that organization and collaboration was needed for everyone to win.
If someone, anyone, could afford us just one invite, we would use it to seed the list. Assuming invites beget invites, each person on the list would invite the next person, and so on, until everyone’s on board.
The irony has been pointed out that if we had Wave to coordinate this effort it would have been much easier!
And we hope that this out-of-the-box Wave community will make google want to approve our invites!
Here’s the links:

Thanks for listening!

I’m looking forward to the Motorola Tao. There are many reasons, but mostly Android + Verizon + a fast phone = what I want. I hope they’re plan pricing is competitive.
301. Mike wrote on October 2, 2009
I’m waiting for Sholes to come out, but any phone on Verizon with Blurr would be fun to play with. I really hope the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 becomes a reality though.

ADP1 for the hackability and back cover, although it -desperately- needs more ram. (”Upcoming” n900 with an android port is my next choice though..)
315. Marko wrote on October 2, 2009
here in serbia, we have 3 options for android phones, with postpaid packages: htc magic, htc hero and samsung galaxy. HTC Magic is my choice because I think it is best buy. Galaxy it’s good phone, some features are better than magic, but I don’t like ergonomy and design, it looks like like any regular samsung phone. Hero is awesome but his price is problematic because it is much higher than magic and only that it gives is a: more desktops, multitouch, and better design. Also it comes with sense but it is slower because of that too. Magic will be my first android and for start and developing android applications it is very good deal, excellent ergonomy and design, has everything I need for internet(twitter, google services) so…my choice: HTC Magic
316. schuess wrote on October 2, 2009
The HERO because the SENSE UI rocks my face off!

I’m definitelfy in love with the HTC Hero. That phone is sexy and just fits me. I’m rocking the Instinct which is very instinct at this point.
