Support NeoGAF

[Wurdfurd]

I'm in!

 

[PowerTaxi]

I'm in. My friend may want an invite so I'll give 4 back to GAF.

 

[MrDenny]

Count me in. Hope one of us gets it.

 

[SnakeNL]

Count me in !

 

[breakfuss]

I'm dumb. I thought OP added us after we posted in the thread. Didn't know there was a hidden submission link. Ah well, lolol.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Oh I'm in!

Oh, oops. I'll give back however many extras I have. No idea how many we'll get tho.

So I'll just say 5 for now

Edit: WOW I should have read the whole OP lol durp durp

 

[MarkusRJR]

Added myself to the list. Will give back whatever invites I get back.

Two questions:
-What happens if when you get the invite there is no stock? Can you hold onto the invite code or will it inevitably go invalid.
-Where do you go to claim an invite/get the rest of the invites?

 

[Shrike Alvaron]

Filled out the form, think I'll be upgrading my HTC One M7 to this. I said 4 invites as I'd like to hold onto one in case a friend asks.

 

[PaulKersey]

In! This phone looks like a beast and I am currently using a Nexus 4 which I enjoyed a great deal, but recently the battery has been dying pretty quick. Getting annoying.

 

[Le-mo]

I'm in.

 

[BoboBrazil]

I put 1 invite, but if I get more I'll give them to GAF. I thought we only got one invite each.

 

[Kozmo]

Submitted. Assuming 5 invites, I'd give back 3 (one for myself and one to give to my own circle of RL friends). The rest would be for GAF.

 

[Rafy]

That will become clear later on when they announce how the system is going to work exactly. As soon as they do I will put the link in the OP. All that we know for now is that invites expire after some time.

 

[dvdjamm]

I'm in!

 

[rostocker]

I'm in and would give 3!

 

[mrklaw]

I'm in. Stated one invite as we don't know how many we'll get, but will give more if they provide them

 

[samven582]

I'm in!

 

[KPJZKC]

Count me in! Will give back invites received!

This means that if you smash your phone you are entered in a pot where a random 100 people that participated will win. It's not certain you will!

This is kinda confusing. You're telling me there's a chance you're smashing your phone for nothing?

 

[Hammer24]

This is kinda confusing. You're telling me there's a chance you're smashing your phone for nothing?

Pawn shop 5$ phone. That's an investment I´m willing to make.

 

[Rafy]

Yes, it's basically a raffle since they will be giving the phone away for 1$ if you win.

 

[Hammer24]

Site just broke...

 

[Hammer24]

OK, forget the 5$ pawn shop phone plan. It has to be a new one, and the list is very short...:
iPhone 5, 5c, 5s
Blackberry Z10, Z30
HTC One, One Max, M7, M8
LG G flex, G2, Nexus 5, Pro
Motorola Moto X
Nokia lumia 920, 925, 1020, 1520
Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, S5, Note2, Note3
Sony Z, Z1, Z ultra, Z2

 

[DrFunk]

No, choose the phone you will smash, then they select you, then you smash it. You no smash before!

 

[Hammer24]

No, choose the phone you will smash, then they select you, then you smash it. You no smash before!

Sure. But with this phone list, its still expensive.

 

[Ethranes]

signed up, this phone is gonna be off the hook

 

[DrFunk]

It is, but there's no way they're gonna give away a brand new phone for somebody smashing their Nokia 5130

 

[Dead Prince]

Signed up for the smash. I picked a weapon they can't say no too and nice to see on video.

What phone did you pick?

 

[Dead Prince]

What phone did you pick?

HTC one. I should have looked for s2. But meg.

 

[Rafy]

So looks like the max invites to share are 3. At least that's how many the smash winners are getting. Adding to the OP right now.

 

[Aucool]

I'm in, I can give back to gaf all the invites I will get

 

[bebop242]

Don't know if it will be standard, but winners of the "smash the past" contest will receive 3 invites to give out to friends and family.

 

[StyloCon]

Count me in! I'll give all my invites back to GAF should I get any

 

[Blablurn]

Remember when Google launched the Nexus 4? The Sale period was pretty bad. And if even a company like Google cannot manage a solid launch im afraid those guys will have some problems too. from my perspective it looks like many people want it. and i hope they can deliver

 

[Dawg]

Signed up to smash my Samsung Galaxy S3.

 

[solarus]

Signed up, hope i get selected.

 

[Courage]

Same here. Gonna do a hammer, drop from stairs, throw from window trifecta technique.

 

[BigFwoosh]

Wish I could smash one of my phones, but the only one I have that's on their list is the Nexus 5 and it's going to my wife if I get one of these. Good luck, brave phone smashers!

 

[BoboBrazil]

I signed up but I don't have one of the phones to smash. Hopefully I can give it to someone else here if I'm chosen.

 

[hgarrett54]

I'm in :3 Just applied for the smash-your-phone contest thing too.

I'd give back all invites I get except one.

 

[Dead Prince]

Does the 3 invite give you access to buy the phone at full price or $1 lol

 

[Blablurn]

good luck guys. you are probably my only hope lol

 

[FrsDvl]

Signed up to smash my S3. Hope i win n, i'm trying to be creative.

 

[RapidCancel]

I'm in! I guess my Galaxy Nexus is so old they don't even want to see me smash it.

 

[sweetvar26]

I'm in. Going to smash my iPhone 5.

EDIT: So you get to give away 5 invites? Or does that vary?

 

[Rafy]

I'm in. Going to smash my iPhone 5.

So far we only know how many the 100 people that win smash are getting, which is three.
I think we'll find out if it's the same for people who receive the invites.

 

[BigFwoosh]

I'm in. Going to smash my iPhone 5.

The site said 3 when looked earlier. Can't hit the site now though.

 

[keezy]

Signed up to smash my Nexus 5.

The more I think about it you'll probably have to come up with a creative way to destroy your phone. I said baseball bat but I can't see them picking 100 people and having them all smash their phones with bats/hammers.

If you get 5 invites I'll throw 4 this way. Other one goes to my homie.

 

[DrFunk]

A lot of tech blogs are speaking out against the smash your phone promo:

http://www.androidcentral.com/dont-smash-anything-oneplus-uses-bad-idea-give-away-100-phones

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/25/oneplus-one-smash-the-past-is-a-pretty-bad-contest/

Even video guru Marques Brownlee is against it: https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/459712896541679616 and https://twitter.com/MKBHD/status/459713203665387520

I gotta say, they make compelling arguments.
