User-only giveaway: Win an unlocked HTC One X

It's been a while since we launched a new feature here on Android and Me, and it's also been a while since we've given away something for the hell of it, so we figured we'd do both on the same day.

If you are a registered user here (never too late!), you've probably noticed that you've been racking up points for a long time, and you might have been wandering what they're for. Sure, they let you create Threads, but it's time we got around to what points are really for: comparing your dominance to other users and earning prizes.

Starting today, we're going to be keeping leader boards for a number of carriers and manufacturers. To get in on the action, all you've got to do is set your carrier and manufacturer on the Edit Profile page. Choose wisely because after you commit your choices, you'll be "locked in" for a certain amount of time.

Below are eight fresh leader boards for the top carriers and manufacturers on the site. We'll have more leader boards coming soon, but we just wanted to get started with the big guys. Without further ado, the top And Me Accounts:

To encourage everyone to set their carrier and manufacturer, we're going to give away an unlocked HTC One X to one random user that has both fields set. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. To leave a comment on this post, you'll need to first visit the Edit Profile page and make sure you've got a carrier and manufacturer set. If you've already set them in the past, you're good to go. If you're not a member yet, you can still join us, and then set up your profile and come back here when you're done.

This contest is open to anyone in the US, Life Canada, UK, and Australia. Winner will be drawn at random. Picking a certain manufacturer WILL NOT help your chances. Only users who successfully leave a comment on this post will be considered. We'll announce a winner three days from the time of publication.

Last but not least, big shout out to @NVIDIATegra for providing the device. If you're not following them, you should be.
