I don't either and I can find any mention of this contest anywhere else. I do notice the text above says the contest begins July 9th so maybe it's not up yet.

All I have to say is - finally! Why is it that, with their cozy relationship with Huawei, it's taken this long to get a device out of them that isn't a disposable piece of junk? Huawei does make some good hardware, it just hasn't ever seen the light of day in Canada.

Huawei is actually pretty good (compared to other manufacturers) at updating their phones, so I'm guessing it'll see JB pretty soon after its release.

Does anyone know which processor the phone uses?

Yeah, they released an Alpha build of ICS before anyone else.

The phone uses the Galaxy Nexus' OMAP 4460 (correct numbers or not it's the Galaxy Nexus AP).

I don't care how good the prize is, I won't be taking part in it. I don't have now, & never will have, a FB account. As big as FB is, the vast majority of people don't have a membership and I refuse to set one up just to take part in a marketing campaign.

3. HOW TO ENTER There are two ways to enter: A. Internet access and valid Facebook® account required. Eligible participants may enter the Contest by purchasing from WIND™ Mobile a Huawei U2801™, Huawei U6150™, Huawei U8350™, Huawei U8651™, or Huawei Ascend P1™ and activating the handset with any WIND™ Mobile monthly plan, then visiting and “liking” the WINDmobile page on the Facebook platform*

The phone IS coming to WIND.

Also, the approx value is $3200 CAD.

Trips to LA from Toronto cost around $650. So for two that's $1300 one way. $2600 to go to and back from LA.

That leaves $600.
Take away the cost of 2 $40 months.
The average cost of a 4-star hotel looks to be around $100 a 2-night stay is $200.

That leaves only $320 for the phone.
If it comes in for $399, I'll probably pick one up.
Though I'm expecting a markup to $449.

Yeah, cause they run stock Android on their phones. OMAP4.
