@googlenexus Contest Starts Tomorrow

Like many of you, I was eagerly waiting to find out what surprise @googlenexus had in store. Sadly it wasn’t exactly what I hoping for. Still, the update is another step in right direction. What I found funny was a comment a friend of mine made to me after hearing it the update was to include video calling for the Nexus S. “Why didn’t they include that on my Nexus One?” I almost couldn’t stop laughing. I’ll let you guys figure out why that is so funny.

There were hints at a second surprise for the day. That surprise was just released. Seems we have a new challenge upon us. Over the course of the next 10 days, at very specific times, the @googlenexus twitter account will release one of 3 forms of entry options, photo challenges, puzzle  and essays. The solution or answer to each must be limited to ONE twitter response. So you better make them good.

The all important question though is what prizes are at stake. Well Seven lucky winners will receive a free Nexus S device. Don’t forget though, this phone is a GSM device, so it won’t work on CDMA networks such as Sprint or Verizon. Doesn’t mean you can ‘t enter and give one heck of birthday present out of it (mine is coming up if you need win one).

Head over to the official rules website and read through all the details tonight. The first Tweet for entry is tomorrow morning at 6AM PST.

Good luck everyone!
