It is too late to make this the summit team phone I guess.
a) We do not have the device yet. Nokia is still in the process of shipping it 
to us.
b) We've just announced how we are giving it away. So only if we do not get
any eligible applications, we can consider other uses.

I mean both.

The winner was only announced on the 13th of June and only later we found that 
we will get that N900 for being second place.

There are several opportunies how this can be tuned into a successful news or 
press item.
1. Success of KDE Platform based application in the contest.
2. Professional companies recognising the large importance of the
  community by giving away the award
3. Happy community person with photo getting the n900 as opportunity to place
   the story to other media

I am mostly away until the summit, so I cannot really help with it.
In addition I am also involved with the company part and it is a lot nicer if 
somebody else thinks about how much praise we actually deserve for it. I just 
don't feel well writing this myself.

So all news you can do would be fine and probably good for KDE, Kontact Touch, 
the companies associated and Free Software in general.

Best,
Bernhard
