Microsoft Steps up Smoked By Windows Phone Challenge to Win $1000 PC

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Smoked By Windows Phone challenge by now; if not it’s basically a challenge run by BenThePcGuy where he challenges any other Smartphone OS user to complete a task faster than he does it on his WP (His current weapon of choice is the Lumia 800). Currently WPs are winning 90% of the challenges (at MWC out of 20 matches they only payed up 3 times); and to keep things interesting they just upped the prize to a $1000 Hunger Games edition PC and offering a consolation prize of switching in your losing phone for a brand new windows Phone (Other then Lumia 800, does that mean 710 & 900?)

The promotion will run in Microsoft’s Stores between noon and 7PM local time. All modern devices such as iPhones, Android handsets, and RIM’s BlackBerry devices are accepted.

The new $1,000 Windows Phone challenge starts today, and is part of The Hunger Games opening weekend. The promotion will end on March 26th.

Damn…. now I wish I still had the 808 on me again…. oh well 100 Euros will have to do.
