Since June, I’ve been a Midwest Savvy Gourmet for Verizon. A group of amazing food bloggers and myself were given some of the newest Motorola technology to help us in our food blogging.
I was given the Droid Xyboard Tablet and the Intuition by LG Smartphone all on a Verizon 4G Data Plan.
When I first joined in as a Savvy Gourmet, I wasn’t exactly sure how technology would fit into my food blogging. You know?! I write about food and intentional living… not technology. Now that I’ve been with them for nearly six months, I don’t know what I’m going to do without them.
I use my Droid Xyboard Tablet and LG Intuition Smartphone all the time. I use my devices to pull up recipes while I’m cooking, for instagram, to update my facebook Spain in Iowa page, and as my kindle for all of my foodie and simple living ebooks. (I’m a kindle book addict!)
Not only that but my boys love the Xyboard and all of their homeschool apps that I keep on it as well. The data plan is lightning fast which is important for a busy mama like myself.
To end the Savvy Gourmet program and just in time for Christmas, Verizon has offered a special giveaway for Spain in Iowa readers!
The New Droid RAZR HD Giveaway by Verizon!
The latest RAZR from Motorola – launched as the most compact 4.7-inch smartphone with a full-screen and edge-to-edge display with a ton of great features, including:
- An 8-megapixel camera and HD display that makes movies, photos, magazines and websites appear with vibrant clarity.
- Circles Widget makes it easy to view battery life, text notifications, missed calls or weather updates, right on the home screen.
- Near-field communications-enabled, so customers can use Android Beam to share contacts, documents and maps directly to compatible phones.
- A battery that allows for up to 32 hours of normal use and double the internal storage (of older RAZR phones) to 32 GB.
- Runs over 4G LTE, combined with Chrome for Android, meaning customers can enjoy blazing fast speeds that make downloading documents or surfing the Web a breeze.
- Device is Global Ready, so calling home or sending emails is possible from more than 205 countries around the world.
What’s more—Verizon is also providing the winner a $50 Verizon gift card that they can use toward a Verizon bill or phone accessory.
You have quite a few chances to win! Good Luck!!

Sandra at Thistle Cove Farm says
I’ve never even seen a DROID phone; heck, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any “smart” phone…where I live a basic phone works because there’s no bandwidth. Yeah, it’s a step up from a tin can and string but it works…if I stand in the south facing part of the yard and on a clear day.
judi says
thanks for the giveaway!
the features that i like about the droid would be the large full screen and the long life battery. and of course the verizon $50 gift card!
Adrienne says
Can you believe that I don’t have a smart phone??? I’ve been avoiding them for as long as possible, but I know I have to cave soon.
Adrienne says
Oops! I didn’t answer the question. The feature I love the most is the “Near-field communications-enabled, so customers can use Android Beam to share contacts, documents and maps directly to compatible phones.” The map sharing with a bump would be awesome. 😀
Andi says
Nice giveaway Diana!!! Gabe said you really seemed to be enjoying them. How is the longer battery life? I wish mine had a better battery; it is constantly needing a charge.
Fawn says
Looks like a cool phone 🙂

Wow. I’m embarrassed to say that I may be the only person left who doesn’t yet have a smart phone- mine is still a “flip” phone and it takes forever to text (hit 2 3 times to get a “c”)…What a way to upgrade this would be. The camera would also be awesome…
