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 to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got eight (8) LG enV3's (in blue and maroon) 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!

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. Eight (8) winner will receive one (1) maroon or blue LG enV3 for Verizon Wireless. Approximate retail value is $299.99. (Color will be chosen randomly.)
- 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.

Wow! A Saturday give-away. Thanks, Engadget!
I need a new phone!
Will use it to fix the world economy - one text message at a time...
scammers
My proposal to fix the economy:
Cell phones and video games. For some reason consumers seem to believe that, even though jobless, buying these things is more important than saving, eating, or feeding little Asian kids in those late night commercials you watch when you can't sleep.
i need
Can I have a new phone please?

my daughter would like one
I already have an iPhone but if I won i'd give this to my friend. Her mom just died.
I Own A Real Old NOKIA With Verizon and This Phone is Much Better; Would Very Much Like It.
suppose I do something with this
pick me!
Here's hoping I win because it would be great to own a decent phone for once.
I could always use a new device..
i won
I wanna win toooo!!!
not me :(
I'd love one!!!!!!!!!
woot
hopefully this works
Psssh.. who needs a free phone?? NOT
me please :[ im sick of my chocolate
Nope- no one ever wins these. It is simply to collect more email address to further spam, and thus drive the economy.
let the Irish take over and we will sort everything
memememememe. Looks like it could be a fun curiosity item. "And this is why my iPhone ROCKS!!!!" :)
I need it!!
Nice!
Pick me!!! For once!
