Microsoft's Droidrage WP7 Giveaway Heats Up

Malware-infected Android owners offered chance to win a free Windows Phone 7; more than 3,200 entered.

Microsoft's senior director of Windows Phone communications, Bill Cox, Thursday said that Microsoft received more than 3,200 responses to the offer it made earlier this week to Android smartphone users who have run afoul of malware. Monday, Microsoft Windows Phone evangelist Ben Rudolph made an interesting offer through Twitter. Rudolph tweeted, "More malware on Android! Been hit? Share yr #droidrage story to win a #windowsphone upgrade. 5 best (worst?) win!" and later "Been nailed with Android malware and have #Droidrage? Share [your] story with me ... you might win an upgrade to a #windowsphone!"

Rudolph's original offer was for five WP7 smartphones. Given the enormity of the response, let's hope Microsoft is a little bit more generous than that.
