We know that you’re busy with holiday shopping for the other people in your life. That’s fun and all, but getting stuff for yourself isn’t half bad either. That’s why Motorola and Sound ID are offering three Flavorpill readers the chance to win a little something for the holidays. Entering is easy: Just leave a comment on this post telling us the person you’ll call first if you win the DROID by Motorola that we’re giving away as first prize, along with a sleek Motorola Endeavor HX1 headset. Bonus points for correct grammar and tugging at our heartstrings. Two second prize winners will score the Sound ID 400 Bluetooth headset, a $130 value.
Good luck!

Second Prize (2 winners)
The Sound ID 400 is the latest Bluetooth Headset to be introduced by Sound ID, a company founded by an ear doctor and staffed with top acoustic scientists and engineers. With an updated design that shows-off a silver metallic stripe and expanded feature set, the 400 offers a smart mix of sophisticated style and advanced audio power.
Like its predecessors the Sound ID 400 complements the natural hearing process, allowing you to experience the best sound quality possible while conducting hands-free conversations. However, the 400 differentiates itself from the rest of the Sound ID portfolio – and every Bluetooth headset on the market – with its Environmental Mode “hear-through” feature, which amplifies your surroundings when you’re off the phone but still wearing your headset, so you can hear equally out of both ears. It’s second exclusive capability is its compatibility with the Sound ID CompanionLink Mic, which is worn by an in-person conversation partner, or placed near a sound source, to pick up audio at its origin for a richer, more robust sound experience. It is available at www.soundid.com for $129.99.

Update: The contest has officially closed. Congrats to our winners: Beth B., CBaker, and Rebecca.

I’d call my mom!
i’d call le boy. :)
The first person I will call is my little sister so that I can talk to my 4 year old nephew and 2 year old niece. Not that I wouldn’t want to talk to my sister or brother or parents or friends really. But my niece and nephew are my most favorite people in the Universe. Call me a sap.
i’d call michelle’s mom too!
It’s too bad verizon has terrible customer service!
Oh, but I would call my dearest Daddy…
i’d call amanda (so we could conference michelle’s mom in).
I’d call my mum who would be so pleased that I finally have a phone with good reception!
I’d call my cousin who has enlisted in the army and will be deployed after the holidays. That will be the last time I can talk to him for a couple of months.
chandler on his google # !
As a heartless individual I can’t pander to your heartstrings and would first call my friends who paid $400+ for an iPhone to brag about getting comparable capabilities for free. I said I was heartless.
I’d call my husband, to let him know about the fabulous prize I’d won.
I would call the soup kitchen to see if they needed any help for the Christmas Meal.
I’ll call my girlfriend, of course, since she sent me a link to this competition ;)
I’d call my husband to tell him we now have matching droids.
Droids own.
I’d call my mom and tell her I will be home before Christmas.
I’d call my boyfriend in England and rack up a huge phone bill!
I’d call my mom, but not for typical reasons, just for the Rod Stewart reference in “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”
Since I’ll be with my family over christmas and can speak with them directly, I would call a friend in barcelona who I haven’t talked to in 6 years. A shame really but that’s how we work ;)

My 90 year old grandma, who lovingly reminds me that I don’t call her often enough.
“I’d call the Doctor because the Droid is a heart stopper!”, Ba-da-Boom thanks I’ll be here all week.
I’d call AT&T to tell them that I’ve now got actual reliable phone service!
I would call my mom and thank her for being a mother, father & Santa to me and my brother growing up. Oh wait, I could do that now. However, I would still call and tell her that again if I win.
I don’t think I would call anyone right away… just play with it for a thousand hours and get all the cool apps installed, and figure out how they work, and then maybe call a friend or family member to see how the phone reception sounds. Lol. So yes, if I win, I will be one happy camper :))
Good luck to everyone!!
My Dad would be the first call I make on the DROID. I recently moved out on my own and he is now constantly calling me to create conversation and to make sure I’m doing alright. It’s very sweet, and I’d love to call him to ask him out on a father/daughter date on my new phone. Hope I win so I can make that happen (don’t worry though, I’ll still call him even if I don’t win, haha).
I would call George Lucas to tell him this phone was stolen from his movies.
I’d call my friend to tell her she can save the money she wanted to give me to get a new phone & place it in a fund to come visit. (my old phone is a dinosaur which I have to charge the battery in a different phone with a broken screen because my functioning phone’s charging connection no longer works).
Lee Frank
christian in hamburg to finalize my plans to move there
I’d call my son and say “Merry Christmas”! I’m using your gift first! :0)
Honest? I would probably use the phone to blog first. THEN i would muster up the courage to call this boy i’ve been crushing on for about 4 months. if i win the DROID, i will take it as a sign to just get over myself and call him and deal with the rejection. deal? ok. i’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I would call my grandmother who lives overseas in Colombia. Her birthday is on Dec. 26th. It will be her 86th Birthday. :)

I will call my parents
I’d call my the NachosNY crew!
I’d call lil’ Jen
First I’d call t-mobile and tell them I’m done with them. Then I’d call my boss and tell her I quit since winning a droid would be like winning the lottery.
867‒5309 and ask for “Jenny”
I would call darkest Lord Bezelbub and recommend delaying the consumption of earth by the sun to 2013.
I’d call Alexander Graham Bell and say “look how far we’ve come!” Wait, this thing does have the time-travel feature? Fuck that.

I would call my twin sister, because she just got an iPhone for work and didn’t want to be too excited in front of me because she felt guilty that I didn’t have a cool phone too. I’m actually the only one in my family without one now. Plus, it would be nice to one up her. You know, friendly competition :)
The first person I’d call if I won the Droid is my husband. He’s such a techie but our budget usually dictates the cheapy version of most things we buy. He’d be so thrilled that I’d probably even give the Droid to him!
I’d call myself and leave a voice mail, to call me.
I would plant the Motorola Droid in my mom’s purse and call it. She’s been needing a phone and this would be great for her.
I would call my grandmother because she never calls me. Then I would spend at least 10 minutes explaining what the Droid is.
My first reaction would be to call someone who just spent $600 to purchase one. But then I’d have bad karma, and bad karma doesn’t help anyone to win a DROID. So I’d fight that urge and call Papa instead and let him know my next Verizon phone upgrade is all his. I wouldn’t need one for awhile.
I’d call DH.
The first call I’d make would be to my parents in Seattle. They just sent me down to LA for school & it was too expensive to fly back home to spend Christmas with them. Its my first Christmas away from home :( I’d call to tell them how much every inch of my heart misses being around family.
I’d call Santa and tell him he can take a night out on the 24. :)
I would call my deaf sister. If I had a smartphone I’d be able to sign into the camera.

I’d call my mother and offer to upgrade her phone with my upgrade credit.
I’d call Sascha@flavorpill and tell him I know a way of making applications available for my new Droid! In fact I’d even offer Sascha the ability for Flavorpill to have its own iApp available for any platform out that.. now that’s just pure magic!! xoxo -nycmedina-
I’d call my sister and let her know what a wonderful thing it is to be alive and get immersed in the luxuries that life is always willing to give to us if we are open to it
I would call my dog. Who else is a man’s best friend?
I would call my middle sister because I like to make her jealous with all of my electronic gadgets.
I will call my fetus-esque niece. She is due in January :D
I would call my best friend to tell her that I won a phone for Christmas. She’s into freebies and she’d probably get jealous. Mwahaha.
^ I tried my best to write properly. English is my second language. ^_^
To my wife who said I would too broke to afford one

I would immediately call my broker to give everyone in the world a million dollars. Then I would trade the phone in for the freedom of all the slaves and then fly away into space on ROCKET AMURRICA
i’d call my wifey :)
I would call my sister who lives abroad. I would let her know that I won the coolest gift in the world, the Motorola Droid. DRROOOIIIIDD!

The first person I’d call is my little nephew. I’m the only one who ever calls for him and gets to excited that he has a call.
I’d call Santa to make sure he knows just how good Flavorpill has been this year. Thanks for helping make 2009 a wonderful year, I look forward to your coverage in 2010. Happy Holidays to you and yours, FP.
Hope i win.
i’d call my girlfriend to tell her that her all but non-functioning nearly lifeless phone with a broken screen is being replaced. and then i’d give her the droid.
and then i’d make her call me first!
I’d use this to call myself, just to compare the Verizon network with my old busted AT&T smartphone, before tossing the AT&T in the trash.
I haven’t had a job in way too long, so I could definitely use the pick-me-up!
This phone really rocks. I think the first person I would call would be my sister’s iPhone, so I could brag about finally being able to do everything she can do, on my network. Not to sound like a current commercial, but my coverage kicks her coverage’s ass.
i think i might have to call someone who’s number i dont currently remember- in the months since my screen broke, i’ve been able to call only the people whose numbers i remember and can hand dial… it’s like having a cordless, instead of a cell. although in this day and age, it sometimes feels like a rotary phone instead. please bring me into this new decade with some updated technology!
I would call my mother right away because she would be so proud of me for finally coming into the 21st century and owning a Bluetooth headset.

I’d call Thierry Henry and ask him if he meant to touch that ball before it went into goal.
I’d call my mom, who lives 3887.36 miles away, and ask her to put me on speaker phone, all so I could announce the win to her new puppy, Elsie.
I’d call my friends Iphone to see if they even had service
I’d call my grandmawwwww!
I would call my husband, Brian, and tell him, “I won a phone, now I have a phone that works.” This way he would not have to worry when I have to go somewhere with my three kids. He is always telling me, “What if the car break’s down and your phone is not working?”
I’d call my roommate from our favorite bar, where he doesn’t get reception on his iPhone.
My Mom has cancer and I would call her and tell her that I have a surprise for her. Then I would surprise her with a Motorola Droid.
I would call my mother in heaven because in heaven everything is fine.
I wouldn’t make a call: I’d text/email the 600 people in my phonebook and tell them to subscribe to Flavorwire because it’s so dope!!!
I would call my mom to let her know she getting a new phone
I’d call my best friend Evan, who left NYC to go back to SF a year ago. It would be nice to chat with him on a phone an network that doesn’t drop my calls! :)

I’d call AT&T and tell them to shove it.
I’d call into a radio show as “Barry from DC.”

Iwould phone my wife and inform her, that her hubby was abandoning his pay as you go phone and going high tech state of the art baby.
I would call my nubian princess, my daughter and tell her how much
I LOVE HER!!! That she can have the phone I just won… “)
”HAPPY HOLIDAY’S” EVERYONE AND BLESSED NEW YEAR!!! 2010 =*=
I would call my poppa, who I have called nearly every day since he had a stroke almost three years ago. I’m his only child, and I live thousands of miles away. He is the wisest person I know & I have so much still to learn from him. We both relish our phone conversations, and each call ends with us blowing two kisses each, down the line, across the world, and into each others hearts.
I’d call my uncle, who works at Motorola and has been in constant worry about being laid off there for the past four years. You know, to tell him to hang in there, and mention how awesome the phone is and all.
I’d call my best friend, Cindy, in NYC, to whom I send every wonderful contest & sweeps I find! (I’ll be sending her this one, too!) She would think it Way Cool if I won, and I’d think it Way Cool if she won!
I’d call my brother in Los Angeles and other friends around the country to wish them all a very Happy New Year.
I lost 3 years of my life to a disease I did not deserve and this phone would help me reach out to those I have lost contact with–plus impress and/ or start up a conversation with someone I do not know-–and that would help because I am very shy–and i am poor–It would make me very happy and give me something to look forward to in my sad and pathetic life–I would appreciate it very very much.
I’d call AT&T’s Customer Service to let them know how much I like Verizon better…unless they put me on hold for more than 10 minutes…then I’d hang up, pretend I didn’t make that first call, then I’d call Verizon’s Customer Service to let them know how much better they are than AT&T.
I’d call my parents who cannot travel. I am supposed to travel on xmas morning to see them but I injured my back this week and now can’t travel either. I haven’t yet told them I won’t be there as I want them to have as I don’t want to hear their worry and disappointment.
I’d call my parents who cant travel. I am supposed to be on a plane on xmas morning to travel to visit them. However I injured my back this week and now cannot travel either. I haven’t yet told my parents that I won’t be visiting (or about my back) as I don’t want to worry or disappoint them.
I’d call my ex-husband who just got a Droid for himself and the skanky girl he left me for and brag to them that I too have a Droid now. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.
I would call the one woman who has set the standard for all women I will meet from now on — “J” that means you
I would call myself on the new Droid so I can set up my voicemail account. After leaving a spunky greeting for those who fail to reach me, I would call my boyfriend to subtly brag about my winnings and offer him my old phone, since his current one is less-than functional.
Please! Make my Droid dream come true!: If I won the Droid and headset, I’d start by screaming and throwing my sturdy but battered hand-me-down Nokia bar phone into one of those donation bins at Whole Foods. I’d call my British friend Sarah… and she’d actually be able to hear me with the new headset that blocks out street noise (we seriously can’t understand each other on my cell phone).
At the same time, I’d use the Droid to sign into Facebook and update my status to read: “I’ve officially arrived in the 21st century! Call me . . . and iPhone owners prepare to be green with envy!!” I’m always asking my friends to look up restaurants when we’re out since they have smart phones, and I’ll be happy to be able to return the favor!
I’d call my oldest brother, Peter (pee-wee), who lives in Milan and just married an italian girl….so I guess he’s not coming back; and I would tell him I miss him.
I’d call my best friend Samantha and most likely have an extremely silly conversation including her doing her wonderful shock character from “Nightmare Before Christmas” and me doing horrible accents of terribleness.
MOMMY!
I’d call my best friend Erika and tell her that I won her the DROID for Christmas. The DROID she’s been lusting after for months and months but has not been able to make come true because of the bankroll that being a student teacher for the empoverished youth of Baltimore affords. :’(
I’d call all my friends with an iPhone
THE STORY: I came back home from my university to Park City for the holidays, where my dad showed me his new DRIOD. This was on Monday the 21st. He’d only had it for the weekend but gave his full dorky demo of all the features he knew. Anyway, I was trying to slide it back in his back pocket as we walked up the stairs from my basement…when it happened – the thing evaded capture and chose to roll down the stairs instead. It wasn’t that violent but the damage was done: completely shattered screen. Thanks to no insurance and a two-year contract, but dad’s trying to use it through the cracks. He’s crushed. His geek pride is crushed. I feel terrible. It’s my first year at college and I just can’t do a replacement out of contract right now :(
THE CALL: To my dad with the news!
THE TEXT: A pic to Flavorpill of my dad’s goofy smile! \(^o^)/
Call? No, I’d give a SHOUT OUT to the Universe, something cosmic (duh), and peaceful (yeah) because, you know, cell transmissions don’t float to earth and dissolve like snowflakes (plenty of those around), no no, radio waves float on and upward and onward…so I’d be saying, Hello, Super-Earths and Celestial Beings, real or imagined…come on down to my boat, baby.
I’ll call Pizza hut and order
me some Pizzas yummmm :D
I would call my sister to tell her I finally got a new cell phone!

I would call my best friend Jonny who already has the Droid because he actually had enough money to buy it.
i would call my mom and talk to her until the battery went dead because she is the best most encouraging person in the world.
I would call the love of my life; Alexander Rodriguez. My husband/boyfriend/bestfriend, Ive been with him for 8 months and i couldn’t be happier.
Ive never had a cellphone but if i win this i would be able to call him when ever and where ever i want <3
I would call my grandparents. I’d hope with my new Droid, they’d be able to hear me with perfect sound quality as opposed to my Samsung Eternity. Blah.
I would call my mom. The connection on my current phone is horrible and we live at opposite ends of the United States. We always have to email. I would love to hear her voice crisp and clear.
I’ll call my best friend, Nate.
I’d call my dear mamasita and little sisters in California, 3,000 miles from me, and tell them how now we can talk, chat, send each other facebook messages, and share pictures and video whenever we want (and even if they’ve snuck out to some cheesy high school party, I’ll still be able to hear them over the bad system blasting Rhianna). Then I’d call my clients and tell them I’m finally part of the 21st Century so I can get some more, much needed work.
hey guys, is there any end-date for this here?
I’d call Obama to let him know he is the worst president we have ever had.
The first person I would contact with my new Motorola Droid would be the love of my life that is currently in New York. Being able to hear her voice alot more clear and sharp I would have to say would be a great everyday experience. She will always be first priority and number one on my list of all things. Droid’s! FTW!
I’d call myself just so I could yell “PWNED!” and have it felt by every tiny component of my disgustingly out of date slider.
I would have to hand my old phone to my 4 years old son and call him first because he would be SOOO excited that Mami won a Droid!!! Of course, it would be the icing on the cake that I recently discovered while talking to my friend about the Droid that my baby thinks its a new Transformer or something! LOL Then I’d have to call all my friends who are IPhone and Blackberry Storm users and brag about having actual buttons on my new phone!
The first person i would call would be my best friend Martian Pinto because he is making fun of my phone now. i have a tracphone worth $20.00. it would be hillarious.
when does this thing end and i would call google
I would call that verizon guy and ask him if he could hear me now. Then I would say, good, and high five myself.
I’d call my recently married little brother.
I would call my girlfriend becuase im tryin to give her something very nice this year cause she is kinda mad at me for not ever getting her anything
If I won this phone I would call my wife to tell her she cant call me a loser anymore!
If I won this phone I’d call my mom all the way in Tennessee, and call my little cousin who just survived a threatening surgery, and call barrack obama and tell him to get the troops out of Iraq & Afghanistan!!!!!
if i win i going to be happy and call all my family
I’m going to call my sister in Mississippi!!!
I’d call that woman I met at the bar last thursday
I’d call my husband.
You people need to learn to read. This contest was from last CHRISTMAS! At the bottom of the posting it states, “Update: The contest has officially closed. Congrats to our winners: Beth B., CBaker, and Rebecca.” You all should call on your brains more often.
Id call my dad and wish him a merry Christmas if i won the DROID by Motorola. Hes wanted a droid for the longest time but with such low income it seems near impossible for him to get one!
I’d call my mother and tell her that my phone is now better than her iPhone 4.
