    Verizon’s got this crazy challenge going on over at the teaser page for the R2-D2 Edition Droid 2, wherein users are given clues that lead to special codes. Once one person finds and inputs one of these special codes, everyone gains access to a new section of the site, and the original finder scores themselves a free handset.

    Fortunately for D2-devotees everywhere, the force was strong with a gent named David Holt.

    Following the clues lead David to a Star Wars book on Amazon, and copying that book’s ISBN into the code input screen unlocked a handful of pictures of the R2-D2 Edition Droid 2′s thematically-matched dock. (Want to know how it all breaks down? You can follow the trail of clues here.) It’s essentially just a white dock with “Star Wars” scribed on the back — but you know what? Sometimes, including this time, simplicity just works.
