GIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO

 

 

MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR (please read)

HTC is all about change. We’ve been the first to create almost every milestone in the smartphone industry; relentless innovation is in our corporate DNA. We partnered with Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) on a series of #HTChange videos that only he could come up with, and now we’re looking to the community to help us continue to tell that story. We want to give you an opportunity to do that in your own authentic way.

 

MESSAGE FROM LINUS

 

We enjoyed making this video, and I hope you'll have as much fun telling your change message and participating in the contest as we did.

 

 

TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible.

I thought getting RDJ was a bad idea and a waste of money but that commercial was great.

There are TWO giveaways. One of them requires a video. The other one just requires a comment on HTC's RDJ video.
