This was a pretty unexpected find. The HTC Merge has still not been officially confirmed for launch by Verizon or by HTC, yet here we see it as a prize for ‘The Urban Challenge’ held in Seattle Washington. Even better yet, they are giving away 6 devices in all! Here is a brief over view of what is happening.
[The Urban Challenge is] a rat race through the fair city of Seattle. A grueling test of head-to-toe and between-the-ears strength. An unpredictable, multi-stage contest against 49 teams all with a ravenous appetite for the same dish-1st place. Or maybe it’s the cash and HTC smartphone. Either way, grab the closest relative, girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, neighbor, or stranger and snag one of the 50 spots while you still can]
Among the phones on the prize list there is also cash prizes and gift cards for Verizon to the winning 3 teams. As long as you are in the top 3 you are getting a free HTC Merge.
Anyone in the Seattle area planning to sign up? Better hurry there are only 50 spots available. Let us know how it goes. You can register HERE if you would like.
