Engadget's recession antidote: win a LG enV3 for Verizon Wireless

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got a maroon LG enV3 for Verizon Wireless up for grabs. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!

Special thanks to LG for providing the gear!


The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. One (1) winner will receive one (1) maroon LG enV3 for Verizon Wireless. Approximate retail value is $299.99.
  
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Friday, June 19th, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

I really hope this is a new one. There was one a few days ago (the 16th) and I left a comment on that one (because I really want that phone). However, having read the rules, I know commenting on the same thing would send me to the showers. So, I am going to double my chances, or destroy them. No matter what though, I will have a great day.

I saw the Env 3 at the Verizon store and it looks great. Just what I need to help with texting.

I have a centro and i'm utterly disappointed in it's performance. Perhaps this env3 might fit my needs a little bit better. :)
