Calling All Lightning Thumbs!

Calling All Lightning Thumbs

Later this month LG is sponsoring a celebration of the opposable thumb with its National Texting Championship. On April 21st, the East Coast's most overworked thumbs will gather in NYC to find the most dexterous texter of the bunch: The person who can correctly enter and send a given message faster than anyone else. The East Coast victor then gets immediately pitted up against West Coast champ, Eli Tirosh. Eli was crowned back in March and took home a cool $10,000 for her trouble. Whoever wins that epic battle rakes in an additional $15,000, making for an impressive total of 25-large in winnings. Unfortunately for the world's most famous BlackBerry slinger, Lindsay Lohan, the competition is only for LG subscribers who own either V or enV phones.
