So...check this out...

I get quite a few solicitations for site reviews, but I received my first ever product review solicitation today.

The beauty of product reviews is that you actually get offered free stuff. Free stuff?! Way cool. I've always been envious (read: jealous) of people who get free stuff just for being them. I mean, we all have a voice, right? We all are carriers of word of mouth. We all have valuable feedback. Why would one person be any more important than the other?

So, when I read that I made Sprint's Ambassador Program and that I'd be getting a fancy new Samsung a920, I thought, "Wo-hoo!" Then I had a second thought (aided by a conversation with my PiC, who was my devil's advocate)..."This isn't right." Nope. The only reason I received the solicitation is because I have a certain number of readers or my standing on Technorati shows that I'm authorative in some computer-generated algorithm.

What do I know about cell phones? I know my Treo sux. I know I'm envious of Chris's Blackberry. I know if I couldn't afford to buy either of them if my work didn't provide it, but I should stop complaining because I'm pretty lucky to have internet access almost anywhere in the world.

So...I was going to turn it down. Ignore it.

Then I came up with another idea. Why don't I ask the people reading my blog to come up with a campaign for Sprint, where they could be more democratic in their promotions (and less elitist). How can Sprint go Pinko?

Add your idea here, then we'll vote on it. The person with the best Pinko campaign wins the cell phone with 6 months of free unlimited access! The winner can either provide feedback to sprint (I'll give the login as well) or just enjoy the phone (at the end, you can sell it or buy a plan)!

Add your ideas here!
