LG Finds Fastest Oz Texter

LG is looking for the fastest texter in Australia that can represent the Asia Pacific to compete for US$100,000.

The company is conducting qualifying events in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne this month, with the winner walking away with $10,000 and a trip to New York to represent Asia Pacific in the LG Mobile World Cup.
 
Contestants will need to demonstrate their texting abilities based on speed and accuracy to win an LG mobile phone and advance to the Grand Final at MTV’s Sydney office.

LG Australia’s General Manager for Mobile, Nathan Dunn said that its mobile phones with slide out QWERTY keyboards help users create messages faster.

“Mobile phones and texting have become a central part of the way we communicate with friends, family, and even work colleagues. LG Electronics’ range of mobile phones with slide-out QWERTY keyboards offer speed, convenience and accuracy which is the perfect platform not only for texting, but also for using and updating mobile networking sites,” says Dunn.
