There were 4 units of phone being raffled during the event but unfortunately we were not able to get one but instead Sony gave us a jacket as a token of appreciation in attending the event. Thanks Sony and Stratos. Oh by the way since we came early in the event, actually an hour before the event, Stratos is so kind to treat me and my wife for breakfast while Sony is having their dry run of the event. Thanks Stratos for your hospitality.
