MSN Mobile Zune Promo

Microsoft is promoting their MSN Mobile product and offering a chance to win a new Zune. Since my iPod mini is out-of-commission until I can get the opportunity to visit the Apple “Genius” bar, I’d love to win a Zune.

The website gives the ability to enter your mobile phone # and receive a text message with a link to the file you need to download. I chose to go this route thinking it would be easier. I received the text message within a few seconds but when I clicked on the link my Pocket PC phone would go to the site for security issues. I’d think it’s a bad thing when your Microsoft phone won’t even let you access a Microsoft site right?

Plan B, I’ll just type in mobile.msn.com into my phone browser and visit that way.

First, why can’t Microsoft join the rest of the mobile world and just preface their website with an “m.” to denote the mobile version? I know it’s only 5 extra characters, but that’s not the point right?

I visit the site and it doesn’t appear that there’s anything for me to download. Oh, nothing really appears different at all. I’ve actually already go the site saved in my Favorites anyway.

Am I missing something?
