2. The tweet must contain the hashtag #Sprint4G and #SMCLA (so we know you’re with us)
3. Tweet as often as you like (the more the better!)
4.  Register for, and be in attendance at our Ho Ho Holiday Parteee! Dec 7th 7pm – 11pm at Q’s Billiards in Santa Monica

To get your creative juices flowing…here are some samples of potential winning tweets:

With #Sprint4G, I could blow the roof of this mutha! #smcla
#Sprint4G is so fast, when I got it time actually stopped #smcla
If #Sprint4G raced a cheetah, the cheetah would look like a tortoise #smcla
Finally, with #Sprint4G, I can stream my wife’s birth from the delivery room  FTW!!! #smcla

Just think, if you win the Samsung EPIC, you can bail on that other network and actually get stuff DONE.
