Motorola Hacker Rewards Program

Posted by michael on Sunday September 5, 2004 @05:36AM from the some-disassembly-required dept.

Nuclear Elephant writes "Pen Computing Magazine recently ran an article about the Motorola v710, which has been crippled by Verizon. A hacking contest is now underway, and the pot is steadily growing. The first hacker to provide a hack (or instructions) to enable OBEX and OPP features on the handset before Jan 1 wins the pot. See the official site for more information." We mentioned this phone a few days ago.

$20 to enter. Whoever guesses closest to the actual date and time the DMCA is invoked to stop this, wins it all!
