$2000+ iPhoneinCanada.ca One Year Anniversary Giveaway: Day 1

by iPhone Fan on January 19th, 2009

Good morning everyone! Monday is here and the big announcement that you all have been waiting for is finally here. I mentioned on the blog last week to stay turned because of something important to announce. I am proud to say that today will be the start of iPhoneinCanada.ca’s One Year Blog Anniversary Prize Giveaway!

Just over a year ago I started this iPhone blog to talk about my experience using an iPhone in Canada. Who would’ve thought over a year later this blog would have built a loyal following of graceful readers and helped a whole bunch of people out with their iPhone experiences along the way.

As my way of expressing my appreciation towards everyone who has helped support this blog since its inception, I have been busy contacting our sponsors for some prizes to donate. They have come through with some amazing prizes and I hope everyone out there will enjoy winning some FREE swag.

Get Ready to Win as iPhoneinCanada.ca Gives Away  Over $2000 CDN in Prizes!!!

How to Win the Sony Portable DVD Player + $100 Towards your Charity

However, in order for everyone to be eligible to win on the day I announce the Sony Portable DVD giveaway, I’d like you to help out to promote the blog by announcing the following on Twitter:

$2000 Blog Anniversary Giveaway! Follow @iphoneincanada & Retweet to win a Sony Portable DVD Player & $100 for charity! http://bit.ly/3uzi

If I am able to surpass 1000 followers on Twitter with your help, not only will I give away the Sony DVD Player, but I’ll personally donate $100CDN to the winner’s favorite charity as well! It’s a win-win situation for everyone! =)

Be sure to tell everyone I’m giving away all this stuff (or maybe don’t tell them as that will lower your chances, hehe)! This giveaway is the largest contest going on right now on the internet. Get ready to be part of history in the making! No other site has given so much away for free!

Okay Dude, Stop Talking and Tell Me How I Can Win This Stuff!

This week will be one giant giveaway week on the blog, mixed in with posts from yours truly, X1Zero, and Barryn Deuthin of course. But I will try to concentrate on giving away all this swag!

Each day will be a different giveaway so you’ll have to come to the blog to find out the prizes of the day! Make sure you subscribe to our RSS feed so you’ll be the first to find out what’s next on the list!

    I never win anything....but there's always a first.
  • googledinTO
    I've been using Things on the iPhone since the first version and it's always been one of the most stable apps I've purchased. I recently went to see a Genius at the local Apple store (Sherway Gardens) about another, unrelated problem on the iPhone and he suggested that I do a complete reset and restore from the ground up. I don't have a lot of apps on my phone but have downloaded, used, then deleted 100's of them. The residual files created and stored from copying, using, then deleting apps and just operating the iPhone for a year may make the iPhone sluggish and make normally stable apps behave strangely. Afterall, iPhone is a computer and computers occasionally require the same thing. Try it. He suggested not using the restore from backup - because the backup will probably include the problem you're trying to get rid of, so reset to factory settings, update to the latest OS, sync everything you can off your computer (contacts, calendar, mail, etc.), then load only the apps that you want to use going forward. The only thing I think I'd lose are my SMS messages and history. Good luck.

    It's been a year already??? Well sir, I thank you very much, for all the great info! You swayed my original decision to get an iPhone 3g, showed me how to get one without breaking the bank, eased my fears of jailbreaking, and all the great reviews! 2000 isn't actually surprising..... There is a good reason why your sponsors back this site of yours!!!! It awesome, and canuckian! Here's to another year! Cheers, and thank you.

    This is an awesome way to celebrate one year. I remember being here pretty much since the beginning. I didn't have an iPhone yet, but came here to see when and if I should buy one so that it could unlocked (remember that constant upgrade, waiting for the unlock game, that happened early 2008 - wow, was that only a year ago??).
