Dare To Live Windows Phone starts on London's West End

First we saw #SmokedByWindowsPhone. Then we saw BlownAwayByNokia. Now, Microsoft and Nokia have teamed up to bring Dare To Live Windows Phone to the streets of London. Like the other two events, Dare To Live Windows Phone involves a contest between a Windows Phone and a smartphone running a competing platform. A task is selected and the first phone to complete it wins. If the challenger beats the Windows Phone, he receives £20, which is approximately $32.

If a challenger loses, he is required to take on a dare offered up by the Windows Phone team, like tightrope walking. Besides a heaping dose of humiliation, the losers also receive a "DARED" Windows Phone shirt. FYI, the Windows Phone model used in the challenge was a white Nokia Lumia 800. If you're in the U.K. and want to participate in the challenge, check the sourcelink for the schedule.
