By If you’re unsure what this whole “Holidroid Contest” thing is all about, be prepared to get excited. From November 24th through December 25th, Phandroid is giving away a Kindle Fire every single day along with other great prizes like the Galaxy Nexus Galaxy Tabs, JAMBOX, SmarTouch Gloves, Android Phones, Android T-Shirts, Seidio Vouchers and more. Read our announcement post for details.
Yesterday’s Winner
Yesterday, we held a secret phrase contest where the first person to find and report the phrase hidden inside the body of one of our posts would win. Congratulations to yesterday’s winner, Andrey, who received a Kindle Fire, Galaxy Nexus, Jambox, a Seidio Voucher, an Andy T-Shirt and Isotoner Smartouch Gloves! As you can see below, whoever wins today’s contest will be fortunate to win all of that stuff as well!
Amazon Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire could be this holiday’s hottest product: at only $199 it’s not only one of the most affordable Android tablets, it’s also one of the best. That’s a killer combination. With a beautiful UI, great battery life, carefully curated apps/games, and an amazing array of media options thanks to Amazon’s Digital Content Ecosystem… the Kindle Fire is a sure win. Good luck winning one in our contest, but at only $199 it’s probably worth buying one just in case!
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Who wouldn’t want the Samsung Galaxy Nexus? It’s the world’s first smartphone to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and features the specs to match, including a 4.65-inch 720p HD display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and plenty of on-board storage. HUGE props to Nikolay Ananiev, the developer of an app called Tiny Flashlight + LED, who donated the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for giveaway. His app has OVER 10 MILLION downloads and Nikolay contacted us asking for ways he could give back to the community as a way to say “thanks”.
Jawbone JAMBOX
Ever wanted a small, portable speaker that plays music LOUD and CLEAR and isn’t a pain to setup? Let me introduce you to the Jawbone JAMBOX speaker. This bad boy packs a powerful bunch an extremely small frame, easily connects to your Android device via Bluetooth, and is an absolute pleasure to use. Bluetooth means you can stream not only music, but also games, apps, phone conversations, movies, and any other audio playing on your device! It also means no cords! Put it on your desk. Carry it to the kitchen. Bring it to the basketball court. Take it to your friend’s party. The Jawbone JAMBOX is a music lover’s dream device.
Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves
Every single holiday season these SmarTouch smartphone gloves are consistently one of my favorite gift giving items. They eloquently solve one of the most fundamental problems a tech lover faces: using your device in cold weather. Wearing gloves usually prevents your touchscreen from working: take your phone out, take your glove off, use your phone, hand gets gold, shove phone in pocket, rush to get glove on. NO MORE! Isotoner’s SmarTouch gloves, designed in my colors and sizes for both men and women, has technology that passes the electrons your body gives off, through the gloves, onto the capacitive screen and allowing it to work. VOILA! Seriously. It works. Trust me. Try it… and you’ll love them forever.
Andy Robot T-Shirt
True Android enthusiasts and tech lovers enjoy expressing their Android attitude and there is no better way to do so then with an Android Robot T-Shirt from the brilliant folks at iSteamAndy. They’ve created a series of artistic, creative Android Robot themed T-shirts with fun, rich imagery. They sell like hotcakes and have limited production runs so get each design while you still can. Some of their top designs (and ones we’re giving away) include: Dark Night Andy, iSteam Andy, Flying Andy, Exploded Andy, Andy Verus, and Unstoppable Andy. Check out
Seidio $30 Voucher
With so much smartphone use comes battery drain. Thankfully, Seidio makes some awesome extended batteries that fit many smartphones, allowing you to get longer battery life with the same device. No more toting around a charger everywhere you go: just snag a Seidio and call it a day! Seidio also makes cases, holsters, and other great accessories for your smartphones.Check them all out here.
Today’s Contest Rules/Regulations:
Today, we want to see how well your smartphone’s balance is! Find random objects to balance the phone on. Snap a photo of device balancing on something – anything – with a Phandroid sign in view. Try and find something really impressive to balance it on!
- Make a sign that says “Phandroid” or “Phandroid.com” on it.
- Get random objects – anything – to balance your phone on and snap a photo of it with the Phandroid sign fully in view. Try and find something really impressive! (Balancing your phone on a vertical pencil or a stack of cards would be eye-poppers, for instance, though we don’t expect to see anything of the sort.)
- Users have until 11:59 PM Eastern today to submit their photo entry.
- Entries may be submitted by embedding or linking to the photo as a comment in the comments section below.
- Make sure the photo is original and was fully produced by you! The photo must not be photoshopped in any way, shape or form.

How am I supposed use a camera to take a picture of my phone balancing on something when my phone IS my camera? o.0
Haha…I guess it’s time to go digging around in my closet for an old point-n-shoot :)
I am having this problem right now!
use a mirror? good luck taking a pic while the phone is balanced, though. :)
That is what the timer on the phone is for 10 seconds thats about the only useful thing its for…
Challenge Accepted

Here’s a photo of a phone balancing in my hand vs another phone balancing in my other hand. Snapped at the Verizon Kiosk today.
I think you guys will LOVE IT. ;)
[URL=http://imgur.com/K2NaE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/K2NaE.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
Can I substitute a Verizon sign for a Phandroid sign? hahaha.
I hate you. Very much so.
JK; but seriously how did you get a hold of that.
Yes for anybody that didn’t click the button it’s the Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE Version from Verizon.
Its so much skinner and lighter than my Original Droid. I had fears the Verizon version would be a fatty, but it turned out real nice.
Screen:
The screen is very good but the HTC Rezound would still be the winner for sharpness. You can see the small little squares on the GNex screen that are a result of the pentile matrix display. They are smaller then they are on the RAZR but still noticable.
Responsiveness:
The responsiveness can’t be matched. EVERYTHING was snappy. I’ll talk about the web browser. The web browser is leaps and bounds faster than phones from 2 years ago. Instant, snappy, web pages over 4G.
The on-screen menu buttons are also a lot more responsive than capacitive touch. The keyboard was also super accurate. Voice texting was also very much improved and very accurate. I didn’t find 1 thing running slow on the phone.
Camera:
I didn’t play with the camera but I’ll probably walk over there again tomorrow at lunch time and give it round 2 of hands on.
—————————————————————————————————-
For a phone that has been so hyped up I didn’t expect to feel the sense of excitement and amazement that I had when I played with it. This is one device that is right up there, and maybe even surpasses, the level of hype.
I remember the day the OG droid came out and how awesome I thought it was to own. This phone blows that out of the water and I don’t even own it yet.
This feels next-gen.
—————————————————————————————————-
I’m telling all family friends who upgraded to a RAZR or Rezound to return for this puppy. That’s for sure.
That didn’t answer my question, HOW DID YOU GET ONE!!??
Haha. I didn’t get one yet. That one was the demo. I just got to take it for a spin. The rep told me that Verizon gave word in the morning that it would be released Friday (12/9.) Then they sent a follow-up email later saying they retract the date and that it will now be “coming soon.”
Now i’m a glass half full kind of guy. I was given the impression that this thing is releasing tomorrow rather than next week. I know the kiosk I visited is stocked up.
I think the switch from 12/9 to “coming soon” means we’ll see this bad boy being sold tomorrow.
We will see…
“I think the switch from 12/9 to “coming soon” means we’ll see this bad boy being sold tomorrow.”
I hadn’t thought of it like that…maybe you’re right.
whats next? balance a tiger on your chest? while planking on a fighter jet???
come on guys……….
Don’t play then…it’s simple. It’s not like you are paying for the winnings
If you do this, I will buy a Kindle Fire, then set fire to it, and record the whole thing to post on YouTube.
It doesn’t say where to enter.
Users have until 11:59 PM Eastern to submit their photo entry. They may be submitted by embedding the photo or linking to it in a comment below.
dam it finnaly find a contest in time and it reqires taking a pic if my phone my phone is my only camera
Me too… The only thing I can think of is taking my mac, turning it around and using the webcam on it for a camera…
i was thinking of that but it also needs the phandroid logo
I had to use my video camera which is capable of taking still photos too lol.
We HTC-owners shouldn’t cheat by using the kickstands.
Dang it, I can’t take a snapshot of my phone considering my phone is the only camera I have. Oh well.
Don’t you have a mirror?
8D This contest brings an amazing smile to my face. I routinely balance stuff around the house to entertain my wife and daughter… the only concern is about dropping the phone. (I have an idea.. we’ll see if it pans out :)
Yeah where are we posting it to?

Ah I missed that, thanks.
i see many broken phones in the future
haha yes but if the winner breaks his phone then it won’t really matter as he’ll be getting the Nexus :)
i broke my epic 4g doing this… but i hope i win this if i dont well its only a cracked screen sooo
That’s why it helps when you have an Android with Gorilla Class :)
balanced on a Gatorade bottle. hope i win.
when we take the picture where are we suppose to post it
Please read the rules
The method of entry is clearly stated within the list of rules. Please read.
I hope this works. Balancing on a fake kitties ears is NOT easy.

A slightly different angle and you could’ve made us think your cat was balancing on top!
I had no clue she was gonna be in the pic. She kept knocking the phone down so I told her to get away…then she strolls in to be in the pic. It made the pic even better though. =)
Too bad your cat isn’t trained to say, “I can haz Galaxy Nexus?”
Give me a week ;)
LOL is that a real cat in the background? I love how he’s just like “wtf is going on over there?”
yea dude, she had no clue what I was doing. lol She kept knocking the phone off the fake cats ears though!!
Good luck everyone!
This is my phone balanced on and napkin holder
Challenge accpeted. I hope I win! Good luck to all.

Why is there money in the photo? Are you trying to bribe Phandroid? :)
I had no other camera in the house so I had to place my laptop on the counter so I can get a decent picture. No bribing going on :)
Incredible 2 balancing on Wall-E’s index finger :)
It almost looks like the Phandroid logo is a holograph.
Oh very nice!
thanks!
THIS as not easy.

OK, so this was an interesting feat. Behold! My Photon 4G balancing on top of a CM7-Alpha-3-running HP TouchPad (a Christmas gift for my son–pictured in the background):
http://cl.ly/3j1t1n3H0d194704401t
The only cameras I have are on the front of that TouchPad and the two on the Photon, or so I thought. Then I remembered that my work iMac I am sitting at has a camera, and here it is!
P.S. I also apparently need to water my poor bamboo plant…
http://i.imgur.com/B34r3.jpg
good luck everyone
LOL, I almost used the same bottle for balancing my phone.
Ooooh!! I hope I win. Took a while to find the sweet spot on the top heavy DX! Thanks phandroid.com :)
This is my fear with my DX as well. It’s so lopsided that it makes it diffcult ;)
Damn, you stole the idea from my brain. Gotta think of something else, now.
Not sure if the photo imbeded but here is a link as well

Tried two pencils… almost dropped my phone too many times, hope one on a tube is impressive enough…

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee421/realfoxm/PC070117.jpg
Lol. This took a while because my dog, Sadie, doesn’t cooperate very well. She kept wagging her tail and sending the sign flying.
That black thing is her “Kong”, a chew toy.
THIS! SHOULD WIN! LOLOLOL! :D I love it!

I work all day with computers. I don’t have a pencil readily accessible, but I do have a whiteboard!
I get extra credit for doing this in public with someone else’s borrowed phone, yes?
The picture was captured using someone’s borrowed phone. That is my G2 in the picture. Just thought I should clarify.
It seemed to take forever to get this darn ball on the tee!

~40 minutes of frustration
~20 gasps as I saw it fall into keyboard, table, screen, etc… thank fully no breaks. :)
Thanks for this Contest Phandroid!
I did two different angles. Shows how much that A) I hate my iPhone and want a Galaxy Nexus that I would risk my iPhones life for it! and B) Shows that there’s nothing holding it up. Balancing on a pencil is hard work.
Blashphemy…
JK. Nice balance there.
Haha, thanks. I regretted not writing Phandroid on the Tree right side up….but it’s a fallen tree cause I’m sick of my iPhone. =)
Thats in like a pencil sharpener?!
Yeah, the pencil is in a Pencil Sharpener.
Fun one :D
Fun one with pic this time :)

Ive learned the droidx isnt the most balanced phone in the world.

Yeah, this was tough as anything. That’s an Australian Shepherd, meaning the fact that I got her to sit still for a photo while balancing a Droid X2 with an Otterbox on her head must mean I am Ceaser Milan’s replacement…
This is my Transformer holding up a lava lamp with a scout trooper sitting atop holding my Nexus S! The phone (and scout trooper) took a couple falls, but I finally got it. Good Luck to everyone!

thats leaning on the wall cheater
I promise you it is in fact not,
do it again in the middle of the floor….
No, I am no redoing it because I have a small ding on the bottom of my mba now from it falling off of the shoes. Second even if I felt so compelled to lie about it not leaning on the wall the rules clearly state
“random objects – anything – to balance your phone on”
Therefore, as I understand it, the phone is the only item that needs to be balanced… I just decided to take it a step further, in the hopes that in the least I could give someone a laugh and how ridiculous it looks.
that is a tough one to beat! Take a picture from the other side showing how it isn’t using the wall. Just a suggestion to help you prove your amazing feat is legit!
Shouldn’t be to hard to beat, I just hope it made you guys chuckle
This is Ogie (he is an aging OG Droid)
Ogie is balanced on a pen (pointy side not the flat side) balancing on a mic stand.
p.s. I REALLY need a new phone!! Ogie suffered a horrific accident training for this stunt. (Sadly, he is no longer with us) Don’t let his sacrifice be in vain!

Bionic on a penny!
I have other pics as well as a video of the fall.

Here is a link to the video… Complete with my disappointed reaction to the fall.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt389UazQtc
DANGIT!! I was planning on doing this when I get home. (have done it with multiple devices over the years just to entertain friends and family) We did it with a projection TV when I worked at Circuit City too ;)
Ah well, guess I can try to do some balancing I’ve not done in years… :)
The hardest thing with a penny is you are balancing two things, with one that wants to roll!
How in the eff did you do that? Total win. Props!
Biggest suggestion I can give to anyone wanting to try this, is find your center point of balance on your phone first, then get a nice *NEW* penny. They’re less likely to collapse on you when you balance something on top.
The edges will be flatter, and there will be little to no balance lost due to transactions.
It was a 2011, but only by chance. I first found where the penny balanced best, then trial and error finding the sweet spot on the phone. I was just about to give up!
Just how long did that take you? I would have lost the patience for it 5 minutes in.
I didn’t keep track of time, but I do know it was way longer than 5 minutes. I was about to give up!
As much as i would love to win, i have to give it to you on this one. Quite impressive.
Thank you, and good luck!
lol. nice!

It is a sidekick being given universal roam by a sonic screw driver. So, I got my sonic, got my side kick, all I need is a tardis or either a long coat or a bow tie.
Edit: And I have an apple, thank you very much, Amelia.
congrats that is awesome! I tried to top you by balancing my G1 on my wedding ring but the judges voted for you :-) since your nexus wont work on verizon would you be interested in selling it to me???
Hey so you won the balance contest?
I swear i thought my phone was gonna break
I’m in the office so I only have some trim samples and architect scale… so I tried my best to balance my phone w/ these essential items of my job!
I left my camera at home so I had to borrow my boss’ OLD SCHOOL flip phone to take a photo of my phone… right before i was able to snap the photo, I got a text so the vibrate caused my fall to the floor and case popped off & battery fell off!
I hope I get the galaxy nexus as my new phone so I can replace/retired this poor phone that’s been in the toilet once and on the floor over 10 times!!! Thank god this phone is stainless steel otherwise with the abuse it’s been through it will be in pieces already!
Thank you Phandroid!!
My phone fell once and the battery flew out, but it’s ok.

Thunderbolt on top of bird on top of my old phone on top of 2 andy figurines, and my cracked screen:( I NEED THE NEXUS@ PLEASE!
This was hard to do (especially at work while the boss was at lunch!). I am in the office bathroom balancing my evo on the end of a fork in my mouth. The picture is taken in a mirror WITH THE PHONE I AM BALANCING (notice the backward htc logo), using a shutter delay. There is a couch cushion at my feet to prevent damage to the phone. Everything went better than expected! I wrote Phandroid backward and forward on the sign to play up the fact that I’m actually taking a picture of the mirror.
Thanks for the great contest!
I’m running CM7, by the way, which has a shutter delay in the stock camera.
Galaxy SII balancing on a pair of Scissors! Shout out to Samsung for making such thin and light device, it can literally balance anywhere (this was still no walk in the park haha)! Multiple angles for you non-believers. Good luck to all and happy holidays!
PS: Was having lots of fun with it so I decided to balance on different surfaces hehe

I really need this G Nex, the OG just cant keep up when all your friends have an iPhone 4s
extended battery on a stapler. bam.
I had to resize the images so they aren’t 5.6MB each. Hope that doesn’t break the “Not editing or photo-shopping” rule.
I don’t think I even have a chance of winning but whatever, I have a lot of free time and love to balance stuff, hahaha.
Here’s my entry: A Motorola Defy, on top of a Cliq, on top of the Defy’s box on top of Homer Simpson’s head. Extra points for Homer, since he likes Donuts. :P
(The last one is the result of a mild breeze blowing through the window, luckily my Defy was not harmed, the Cliq is water damaged anyway due to a flood last year).
This is my LAZY way of keeping up with Phandroid.com

I hope I win. This took me FOREVER to do. Luckily I didn’t crack any of my screens every time I would drop one of the phones. Hahaha.

Okay so when your phone has a hump, it makes it hard as hell to balance!

Here is the photo for my entry: http://goo.gl/d0DGR
And here is the gallery of a few best shots that I can snap after many (failed)
attempts: http://goo.gl/sW7a7
My phone fell off the chopstick, bounced off the table onto the chair, then onto the floor/my laptop screen repeatedly so many times. But nothing is broken right now afaik. Hopefully it still functions well in the future. Or else, I should go get another Ice Cream, but with Sandwich this time.

Balancing my OG Droid on my table saw blade. I also wanted to add that I have really enjoyed the mix of things like this. Given more time I could come up with something better, but having a contest everyday even though I haven’t won has been really enjoyable (especially since it is something different everyday)
blackberry curve and tour with iphone balancing on 3 cans of rolling rocks , bottle of imperial vodka, with HG figure balancing 3 phones

Now this was a lot harder than it may look, especially when one leg is shorter than the other!
If you can’t find the phone, look a little harder…. maybe in Santa’s hand! ;)
Impressive
My phones aren’t as 1% as all of yours. Occupy Phandroid!!!!!
PS: Just pretend like you didn’t see the “bling”.
Wow, Occupy A Garbage Can
First off I own a droid x, it is with out a doubt the most difficult phone to balance with its camera hump. Took me for ever to even make this project work. Luckily the iphone I used was easy to balance. And i figured what better way to display my android pride then my android handset over the Apple product. Hope you enjoy :-)

The correct term is “altered using Adobe(r) Photoshop(tm)”. They don’t like the term ‘photoshopped’.
Also, can I GIMP it?
you would have to use the term ‘gimped”

This took a decent amount of time to do. I posted pictures of various angles to show that I wasn’t cheating or anything. My phone is an HTC Vivid btw, a 4.5″ hefty behemoth.

2 HRS 14 MINUTES….My son was more excited than I was when we got it to stay….I think the phone is actually balancing the drumstick. Some really weird father son time….But thanks PHANDROID.
Sorry these reposted I thought I was commenting on the originals:(
Behold Sir Android!
It took me forever to get it to stand on end, but i finally got it!!!! (no thanks to people calling me!!)

Balanced a Lightsaber on my desk then balanced my Droid X2 ontop of it. They fell a couple of times, but I was finally able to get it to stay up long enough for a couple photos.

Just for the record I have to say that my son was the real trooper he picked that stupoid phone and drumstick up EVERY TIME it fell…..probably a hundred times and would not let me give up. THANX NOAH.
Not as easy as it looks since the Thunderbolt does not have square edges.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my pug…I guess now I have to come up with something different.
A light above a moat, pretty cheesy. Three pictures, my nexus one balanced on a light with the logo on the screen, the interaction between the phone and the light bulb, the paper moat below with gator Phandroid trail. I shared the album on Google+…

Bull Terrier balancing act. =) This contest is the best so far! I love everybody’s entries.
Your dog is MUCH more cooperative than mine was. They went running anytime I got near them with the phone. And then tried to eat it when I dropped it.
Oh she tried to sit on it a few times.
Uploading another photo from the sequence which shows more of her eyes.
I was hungry and it was taking a long time to balance…

That’s ridiculously cool. I can’t even imagine doing that! I had a hard enough time balancing mine.
It took me about 40 tries to get it to balance. Darn cards kept falling down as i got to the second layer. lol :p

I just realized I forgot to include a sign that I made that has the Phandroid URL. I had to redo it all over again, but this is my official submission. Please disregard my first one.
WINNER! Lots of Phandroid love! :p
Thanks! I hope I win and all the screens with the Phandroid logo gets me extra brownie points. I really, really want the Galaxy Nexus!
Clearly you don’t have enough phones and need to win this contest.
Cant pu’t more effort in it because it’s to late here in Sweden! But I hope it’s enough :P

My Galaxy S II on a miniature stature I got from Brussels. I did this at around 5 am so sorry if it’s a bit rusty:)
I hope this this speaks for itself. And it had better be worth the $20 or so that I spent on all these desserts. Fingers crossed…
Drat. I had to do it again because I forgot the sign. Hopefully there are no penalties. This is my official entry. I can’t believe that I got it to stay together twice. My fingers are pretty sticky now.

Topping the “Top Banana Award”
Here’s my entry. It is a can of CRT cleaner on top of my Mac, with a coster on it, with an ink pen on it, with my DX on top with bugdroid on top of that. THat’s not the real challenge. The real challenge is the picture on my monitor (also posted here by itself). It is four pieces of thread tied to my ceiling fan, holding wooden pot hold. On top of that is a coaster, with a m&m minis container on top, with a CD stack case on top, with a piece of a breast pump on top, with a bottle of medicine on top, with a marker on top, with my DX on top. The whole rig is supported only by the 4 pieces of string that go under (are not tied to) the wooden platform. Right as I went to take the picture, the phandroid sign fell. Immediately after I took the picture, the whole rig fell and my wooden platform and coast broke so I had to figure something else out.
PS. Had to use IMGUR as the pics were too big and you said not to use photoshop in any way.

So I decided to take the word balance and run with it. I used a 10gram weight that was used for analytical balances in chemistry labs. The top of it is about the size of the large end of a pin, and my droid 3 is perched on top. I would have gotten better pictures, but my phone is my camera so this is pictures from my laptop haha.

My Captivate balancing on top of an extra battery which is balancing on top of my Samsung external battery charger.
This one was a little more difficult than I thought, digging letters into the ground is hard! But anyways, the phone is free-balancing about 35 ft above the ground, yes I didn’t use a pencil, but at that height I wasn’t going to risk it.
now that’s intense right there hehe
Wow!
If I don’t win, I hope you do. A for effort … :)

2 year old with Nexus One balanced on his head, whiles having him hold the pic in his hand then having to lean back to get snap the pic.
Ok this took me about 2 hrs to do! Yeah I know….. It wasn’t easy at all..hope you like it
holy crap how the hell?? lol that’s crazy with a pointy tip, it really doesn’t look easy.
Thanks it took me a while but finally got it.I was really hard to balance it on the thumbtack.
Thumbtack(s)…still tricky, but misleading
Is that one or two thumb tacks? The third photo looks like two.
you have a point there… =[
it is two .
here is mine (broke my phone’s screen in the process) but i couldve seen that happening.

Okay I did some more. I couldn’t get the Phandroid sign to balance with the phone so it’s not in the picture. During the process the phone sort of fell…it wasn’t pretty. On a related note, I really hope I win a Galaxy Nexus.

Here is my entry: The Totem of Phandroid
It was a lot of fun to make, and I’m really excited about
it! As for balancing, it is definitely a balancing act, as it is far heavier on
the top than the bottom, and at one point is only a single brick thick. I think
it turned out pretty well, though. Can you spot all the Android references in
it? (And yes, that is my Motorola Atrix sitting atop the totem)
Very cool!
this is sweet dude
Awesome!
In front of a stop sign, holding a sign that says PHANDROID.COM (with my user name on it), holding a kitchen spoon over my head, with my OG Droid balanced on the spoon (using the slide out keyboard), with one bare foot in the air, in the snow!!

ok, what we have here is a Motorola Droid X on a golf ball on a McDonald’s straw (in the McDonald’s cup) on a kids plate on a kids bowl on a bar stool with 4 legs which is balanced on 4 golf balls. Also, see Phandroid.com pic in the back.
The second pick was practice. Its Droid X on 2 golf balls on MCDonald’s straw. Moving that to bar stool proved impossible.
oops forgot to upload second pic….oh well….wasn’t as good as this first one.
Look at the crack in my Droid Inc. I definitely need a new phone. :)
This is my Droid X which is soon to be my EX-phone even though its served me well Friday when the Galaxy Nexus comes out.

My Droid balanced on my Xoom (with the Phandroid logo displayed on it), with wireless headphones hanging on it, which is balanced on my Laptop, which is set on my Desktop (with headphones over top). It’s a pyramid of Technology! I also wrote Phandroid on paper in case the logo was not clear enough on the Xoom. (ps its not touching the desk next to it)

It took a few tries but I got my stormtrooper lego clock on top of the christmas tree and then my Motorola Atrix on top of it. I also put the phandroid text on a christmas ornament which is sitting in his hand.

Here is my entry, OG Droid and BB Torch balanced, picture taken with another OG Droid.
First trick was balancing the pencil on my Transformer, the second was balancing my Captivate on the pencil. Ok, so maybe the pencil wasn’t sharpened yet, but the eraser was already a little worn and rounded. That made the task simply difficult rather than impossible. ;)
Impressive

Tbolt and Xoom. I hope you like. By the way the cushions are not holding anything. It just looks that way.
Took me a few attempts to get this set up with my htc touch diamond, as my puppy enjoyed pretending she was godzilla and that was a skyscraper.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch balanced on a 50 caliber bullet from several angles. Sheesh! Slippery things are hard to balance! Trying to balance on a point contact is especially rough, but well worth a Kindle Fire and a Galaxy Nexus!!! After snapping a few pics, I giggled and it all came crashing down. Needless to say, I could really use that Galaxy Nexus right about now… :D
Thanks for doing all of these awesome contests!!!

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhh…Batmaaaaaan!
anyways, this is my submission: my g1 (yes, I am proudly rocking the real OG…though, i can REALLY use an upgrade *cough Galaxy nexus *cough) balancing on a homemade batarang. (Two pics to show you just how thin it is)
P.S. Although I had loads of fun setting this up phandroid, just gotta say…in a world where people (especially us) rely more and more on their smartphones for everything…well…let’s just say it took me a while to find a camera to take a picture of my phone…hehe.

At first I couldnt get it to stay but when I opened the keyboard it was very stable. It stayed like that for about 5 minutes until I got up and accidentally kicked the table.
If the Blackberry Curve doesn’t get your sympathy, I am balancing it on wood screw sitting on a wooden block and broken ceramic sugar jar.

Droid Razr (my first smartphone!) + raw egg + hippo bank.. I’m hoping to exchange it for the GNexus when it comes out, but I accidentally dented the Razr slightly so who knows :( Either way, I promised my mom I’d buy her a Galaxy Nexus as her first smartphone, so I’ll just pretend a raw egg is more exciting than everything else so far :<
Well… I had more levels planned with a Buddha, pens and bucky balls envisioned, but the sunset was much nicer!

Thunderbolt spinning around the room. I took a video to prove that the fan was on. The video is short because the first time I tried, it took too long. The fan picked up too much speed and threw my phone at the wall before i even started the video.

Nexus One, balanced on a Triangle Rubiks Cube. Image taken
with an LG-Slate.
My Galaxy S balanced atop a tower of my kid’s blocks. Yay. This wasn’t as easy as it looks, since the blocks are very squishy, and it took longer than I care to admit (15mins) to get it stable enough to take a pic without fear of it falling over.
The picture below hasn’t been modified in any way except to crop out some crap on my desktop, and to downsize it from 5MB to something more reasonable. (If I were to shop/gimp it, I’d make the Phandroid sign pop out a little more.)
Well, you probably would have won, except for the bit about the missing number 7.
Hah. It wasn’t stable with all 10 blocks. And besides, the rules state that they’re *randomly* choosing an entry from a hopefully-large pool of the one’s they sortof like. They’re not just picking a favorite (though, if I had to pick a fav, it’s the guy who perched his on top of the house, with phandroid-shaped holes dug into the ground in the background below it. :)
Took me like three hours to do haha.
You could have used the 7 instead of the 8. But anyway, yeah, just kidding, and I liked the house one too.

Early attempt….when cell phone balancing goes bad.
(G1 falls, bounces on and off table, falls to hard wood floor below and ends up like this.)

* = I wish
This was hard because the phone was balanced on a thin curved area of a swiveling mirror, and at the top thin edges of two figurines (one which was broken while trying to set this up) on the thin edge of the phone. This took forever, RIP to Spiderman (too broken to use again) Wolverine and Captain America. Hope this was worth it.
It only fell a couple times, and despite the protests of my girlfriend and her mom, I did not fall off of the ladder, even once, while getting this photo. This is my Motorola Droid, on top of our 7′ Christmas Tree… a true Holidroid.

As much as I like your guys’ balancing acts, I thought more among these lines:
“I never thought it was such a bad little tree,” “It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.”
It won’t let me edit the picture out on the previous post, so here’s the addendum.
This was harder than it looks. CD cases then 4 golf tees then 1 playing card then 3 more tees then my HTC Eris. Don’t try this at home kids : )

Phandroid: Unwrap a Bottle ‘o Fun. Coketower Thunderbolt.
^^ Only 2 broken bottles in the process (hence the move to the rug).
My wife had a bag of apples. I got the idea of “Samsung over Apple or Android over Apple” The first trick was going through ALL the apples to try to get my phone to balance on it. Then I had to go cut the chunk out of it, bring it to my computer so I could take the pic, then balance it again. Took about an hour and a half to get it all done. The first pic is trying to show a photo of Andy. I knocked it off when trying to move it for the 2nd pic.
I really want that Galaxy Nexus!
Here is my Droid balanced on a red crayon. I tried to balance it on the blue crayon the Phandroid sign was made with but couldn’t. So, had to settle for red.
check this one out people! :)
here’s my incredible balancing on my finger, but with a twist.. :)
2 slightly different shots
– one that better shows the phone,
– the other better shows that it’s floating
I opted for the pencil, and yes that is a BB. All the more reason I need to win!!!

Phone of Arabia
There it is. My Samsung Intensity. It’s been with me for the past 4 or 5 years, and now it sits atop my Christmas tree as I await the launch of the Galaxy Nexus. Granted, I only put it on top of the tree for this contest, but I kind of like it up there. I may just keep it… especially if I win this contest :)
With a three year old these are the only blocks I have. She wanted to help build Andy.

Going for the cute factor. lol. Tried balancing it on his head but a 7 months he’s not staying still for too long.
lighting up the Eiffel Tower…
This took me upwards of 4 hours to do (I’m not very good at balancing things). I think it turned out rather good. :D There’s also a QR code to the Phandroid homepage on my laptop, just because. :)

This is my submission of my dog holding my Epic 4G (original). I hope you all like. Good luck everyone.
The three wise men came to the giant phone with the star on it and the phandroid sign. Unfortunately the reviews said android would not be out for a couple thousand years so as they were leaving they stumbled upon a baby in swaddling cloths – http://goo.gl/4zMbC
Just calling home to mom to see what phone she wants for Christmas… Obviously she wants Ice Cream Sandwich on the Galaxy Nexus (note the profile pic) – http://goo.gl/w8Clz
I wish for a Galaxy Nexus. I need the real smartphone experience
I balanced my phone on three paper towel rolls, under a box, under a pink bouncy ball, under a telescope, under a bottle of water, a pack of extra gum, a movie, a billiard rack, a server tray, under a percussion instrument, and then the phone on top. :) Enjoy!
Finally!!!!!!!!1!1!
I’m busy in college studying for finals. Checking out Phandroid during study breaks. So I got a picture of my Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph (rooted thanks to droid forums) on top of my roommate’s MacBook Air (Don’t tell him) on top of my physics binder on top of my psychology book. I’d love to get the Galaxy Nexus to be able to have a clean developers phone that I can root to my heart’s content. Thanks for your site to give me good study breaks!
Thats the original android, my G1 balancing on my wedding ring. Its harder then it looks. Yes my ring is thicker then a penny but it doesn’t have a level edge! Thanks Phandroid for the great contest and Happy Holidays! My G1 is on its last leg and tha Galaxy Nexus sure would come in handy ;-)
My Droid X balanced on the top of the Christmas tree, spruced up with a Santa androidify, and my Xoom showing off the Phandroid logo.

Why won’t my picture upload?! I am so frustrated. Can anyone help. I am clicking the +image and then selecting my picture…..
Not as easy as it looks, kids! Here’s to winning today’s prizes!

My LG Optimus is hanging in the balance!
I assume if you win you’ll be throwing that one back.
I saw the contest while at work, so here’s the best I could do. My “old” beaten up X chilling on top of my entry rifle (which is also balanced). I took a pic (with my Xoom) from the other side too for the haters that will say something was holding it up. Now back to saving the day……. (had to have a friend help me out with putting them on his G+ so I could link to them.)

Here’s my best shot, took me a while because I couldn’t get one that was overly impressive so I went for creative. I wanted to add some light painting flare. No photoshop, just a camera and two flashlights.

Little bit of a Star Wars theme here.
You do not understand how hard it was to take a picture before all the screens time start to dim out! It was fun though! I had to crop out the top and bottom because the file was to large when i uploaded straight from my camera:/
Taken with my crappy 3gs that i want to replace.
and my wife agreed to help me replace this with her spectacular balancing act.

(making a small Wish that I make it into the final judging round…. :-)
Wasnt that easy, but here you go
a sharp knife is balancing between my fridge doors; there is then a glass of water, acting as a counter balance, perched on the blade of the knife. I then stuck a spoon in the prongs of a fork and stuck a single match in between the prongs. This single match is balancing on the rim of the glass. On the edge of the fork teeters my old crappy 7 year old flip phone. If you’re not amazed by the setup, you should at least feel sorry for me for having such a god awful phone… please hook me up! :-p
Do you like apples?….I don’t hehe…

4 freaking hours!!!
Crap! The sign! I hope the website in the background is good enough.
Chris I commend you. However, the rules say to make a sign not use the website…
I see others have used the website (one just had “phandroid” on his screen with a white background), so I’m hoping it’s good enough. After a couple hours, I kinda forgot about the sign. I thought about photoshopping it in, but that would definitely have been against the rules. My other thought was to post a reply with the sign and the fallen phone/droid but figured it probably wouldn’t help at that point.
I’m so proud I spent like a half hour doing this. I was about to give up (the LG enV touch and iPod 2nd generation are really curved so it was really hard). C’mon Phandroid you gotta choose this one. There may be an Apple product, but in this hierarchy of phones, ios is on the bottom. My Lg enV touch is above it. Then there is a Droid X, and the dominant phone here is the Droid 3.

Ok. So, here we go! Goliath really wanted to be involved. I’ve included a series of pics so that it can be seen as well as I was able to do it. Unfortunately, I had to use the “night vision” aspect of my g/f’s camera since the flash wouldn’t go off without it. (no clue why. She has a weird phone. LOL)
So, for information, this is my G2x balanced on the end of the points of the wing braces of the Goliath figure.
Here are some other pics from different views.
And, by the way, the whole pencil thing? Easy as pie. (Again this is my G2x. And this was done way earlier today at work.
here’s my entry with my Droid X on Halloween pumpkin.
Made this awesome thing in ceramics to balance this on! :)
Because it’s finally Logitech update day, I’ve got my Captivate balanced precariously on the edge of a Revue propped up on end. The Revue is displaying the Phandroid sign on the TV.
No flat edges on the Captivate, or on the Revue for that matter…

Since it’s a Holidroid contest i figured this made sense
Have some ground beef… one thing checked off on my OI Shopping List.
In honor of the good fortune our brothers across the pond have had with getting the GNex first – my original Droid is sailing(balancing) high atop the masts of one of the most infamous ships of the British Royal Navy – the H.M.S. Bounty. Though the Bounty’s men mutinied and stole her… I desire no such thing in these current circumstances. I just want a Galaxy Nexus. Super duper bad.
Also – thank you Snuggie for providing me with an ocean/sky blanket. or slanket… or whatever.

This took me a good while to set up. First I had to get the swords standing on end (which took a little bit of support) and then I had to balance my phone between them (iPhone 3G). Took 2 pictures from different angles. The original sign fell so I put it on the floor on a dragon.

Just got home so had to hurry. Golf Umbrella with Clothespin and my Sensation 4G on top as el Poderoso Andy looks on and approves. The umbrella balance is no big deal as the bottom is wooden and round (that’s why it’s not in the pic so I could get the sign in there). The difficulty was the frickin’ clothespin balance )and my phone is listing sideways a bit in order to balance it. The back of the Sensation 4G is not exactly symmetrical.
Tried doing this on a dowel rod at first, but it proved to be out of my reach. I ended up settling for a wrapping paper core… but still took forever to balance! Visible are my wife’s Samsung Epic 4G, my Nexus S 4G, and cowboy Andy! My wife made the sign, too. :P
The hammer and ruler thing, but where the ruler is my phone. All the while it’s teetering, and I’m hoping it doesn’t slide off…

shame i wasnt home for this contest
i know im late but i was in the middle of this and cut my finger open on a knife trying to balance my phone, but heres one i got, droid 2
LOL almost 700 comments… I’m guessing we won’t see the results for a while
A lot of “This will be fun” comments, and now we’re also getting a lot of late submissions.

Well this was a little tricky. Here is my Droid 2 balancing on a box on top of a rooster crest. The crest was angled, making it really hard to balance =)
Will someone PLEASE point out where it states that you were supposed to use a “household” object…seeing as that is how you guys picked the winner…personally my entry beat the core out of that silly rotten apple pic…just to quote:
“Yesterday we asked you to balance your Android phone on a household object. Some even balanced it on their actual house. The results were quite impressive, and a winner wasn’t so easy to pin down. The finalists’ images included Lego blocks, popsicle sticks, and an apple rotten to the core. While points were awarded for creativity, we ultimately made our decision based on skill.”
Erronious, I think your decision was based around some other crappy criteria.
So who won?
