I am referring to the contest at SamsungMobileBlog.com.sg. The prizes were 3 Samsung Omnia for the bloggers who wrote the best posts on what Omnia meant to them. The contest ended 18 days ago. Now people is asking who’s the winners but no one seems to know. Samsung wake up!

Samsung Omnia Contest Result?

One of the shortlisted Omnia bloggers contacted me 2 days ago and asked if I were one of the winners.

Of course not lah! I would be telling the whole world about winning a Samsung Omnia – at this blog.

She contacted 4 other shortlisted bloggers(5, including me?) and failed to find a winner.

Why didn’t Samsung announce the 3 Omnia winners at the official website?

It would save our poor Wendy lots of time and typing at her computer.

You can find her comments at my previous post.

I didn’t hear from Samsung or the advertising company they engaged for the promotion. I checked the official website, samsungmobileblog.com.sg but there is no announcement of the winners yet. Did you hear from them?

Hey, thanks for your reply!

I emailed them and they say the winners have been notified and the prizes have been sent out, but there’re no announcements…

And of the 4 other people I’ve contacted, none of them have won it either.

Hmmm.

The Samsung Omnia Contest was extended but finally ended on the 31 August 2008. All the winners should have been notified from 1 to 5 September 2008. But, no winner or contest result was published at the official site – samsungmobileblog.com.sg

Wendy contacted me too about the contest results, but I did not receive any calls from the organizers. At first I was afraid that I’ve missed their call because I was on business trip and was travelling back on 3rd Sept.. but it turned out to be some manicure promotion..
