The #WhereIsMyLumia campaign proposal period is now over. Thank you for your tremendous support!
Yes, we are giving away Nokia Lumia 800 to our developers and here is how:
- Follow us on Spiffy and Join us at Facebook page Spiffy to receive information on this program.
- Submit your three app ideas* to whereismylumia@hotmail.com with subject “#WhereIsMyLumia”. Include the name and description of your app. The applications need to be implemented using PhoneGap HTML5 mobile framework.
- If your app is approved, you will be informed through email, along with instructions to pick up your loaner device** in our Microsoft Singapore office.
- You are required to submit one approved application to Marketplace every month, for 3 months – to keep the device. Until then, it’s a loaner device.
- If you fail to propose/send in an approved app and submit to Marketplace on the agreed month, you will have to return the device to Microsoft Singapore.
*You are encouraged to utilize native phone functions (camera, geolocation and etc). Refer to PhoneGap’s Supported Feature page. Your proposals will have higher chance if you are porting over an existing HTML5 from iOS or Android.
**First come first serve due to devices availability. For developers in Singapore only.
Here are the resources for getting you started:
- Starting Windows Phone development with PhoneGap http://bit.ly/phonegaplumia
- Windows Phone Developer page http://create.msdn.com/
- Microsoft Singapore Developer Page http://www.facebook.com/gospiffy
*Want to build a native application using Windows Phone SDK. Here is another program we offering. And FREE training at March 7th-8th, 2012. Sign up here.
*If you have participated in #LumiaAppsChallenge, please finish your commitment first before entering #WhereIsMyLumia. These two programs are collaborative efforts between Microsoft and Nokia.

Hey, Charles, One of the biggest tgihns holding me back is that even though the knowledge I have to share in the Health/Recovery area is good enough , I am not confident in making my own videos. I have many years experience and have been a NetWork Marketer for over 30 years but the fact that I haven’t made a HUGE amount of money yet ..stops me from Just Doing It . Making my own videos, I mean. I have YouTube, Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter accounts, but still haven’t uploaded any of the 12 Videos I made yet. HOW do you do your FIRST ONE? What steps did you take to get over the fear factor? Thanks for any feedback and I look forward to your Teleseminar. I long to hold one of my own one day .Blessings, Dolly

When is the last date for idea submission?
Mingfei Yan
There is no deadline for this campaign. It will stop when we ran out of devices. And we will publish on website when the campaign is closed.

is this over now?
my colleague sitting next to me is receiving replies, but I think my emails are spam listed.
Mingfei Yan
We sent you a email on Monday and don’t know whether you received.

My problem is I don’t xalctey know how to get started. What is the first step, and the subsequent steps. While Im trying to understand while reading I think there is too much imformation on what thr individual make instead of how to make the money or even getting started making the money. I need help.

I think 3 apps for a phone is too little. What do you think guys?
Johnson
Must the application be unique and not available in the Windows Marketplace or it could be an improvement over existing apps?
Mingfei Yan
It could be an improvement over existing applications. However, you need to point out why your applications could be better 🙂
Jake
Posted on I’d must test with you here, which isn’t something I uulalsy do! I get pleasure from reading a post that will make folks think. Thanks for permitting me to remark!
Alex To
Can one submit more than 3 ideas? Does that give higher chance?
^_^
Mingfei Yan
Yes you could submit more than 3 ideas.. but more ideas don’t mean good ideas right? We still need to see whether you have three good ideas 🙂 But why not give it a try?
Alex To
One more stupid question.
If I happen to have maybe 2 good ideas but only one idea is not good for example. Will I be suggested to replace the not so good idea rather than being rejected all the ideas?
Alex

Intelligence and smiplciity – easy to understand how you think.

How many devices are provided for the campaign?
Narasimhan Sridharan
Hi
Is this challenge still open? I had sent my proposal earlier, and have not received any reply.. Is it because you have stopped receiving new applications?
Mingfei Yan
Hi Narasimhan, we received your proposal on Monday. Due to overwhelmed responses, we need 3 working days to process. The campaign is still open.
Bryan
Hi, just to be sure, are game ideas accepted?
Mingfei Yan
Yes. Game ideas are welcome!

I wasn’t raised w/a ceuomtpr. There are alot of scams out there, and many that say no exp. nec. You then get the info, and 1/2 of it you don’t know what they are talking about. Is there anything out there that’s fairly simple, that you can actually make a decent amt. of $$ at, w/out investing tons, and even maybe a little bit fun?!
Alice
I’m having rltuboe figuring out what best suits me. I’m just not that good with computers, so i am having rltuboe grasping everything. PLEASE HELP! I really want to make more money, and I do beleive your program will work if I could just get started.
Jerry
Is it possible if my application just used for other platform like BlackBerry, iOS or Android? coz I am going to develop an application that take advantage of Contacts object, unfortunately this is not provided for win phone 🙁
Kyzer Wong
Hi Jerry, you will need to submit your application to the Windows Phone 7 marketplace. You can port over your application to other platform after that.
Ran Wei
Hey Mingfei, my proposal is approved last week and I am waiting for response from Mr Wong. Any updates?
Kyzer Wong
Hi Ran Wei, I have replied you. Please check your email(:

Can’t use the whereismylumiapublisher account to register any more phones…this seems to mean I must pay that USD99 and get myself another account isn’t it? Otherwise I’ll never be able to unlock my phone and upload the newly written game to test! Any other options?
Vinoth
Is the competition closed or you guys are still accepting proposals ?
