UPDATE (05/29/2015): Fellow Neowinians, it"s with profound regret that we must announce that our lawyers have ruined all the fun, and advised us that - due to legal issues regarding competitions in which participation is limited by paid access, even indirectly - we won"t be able to run our many Subscriber Giveaways as planned.
Anyone who signed up to a subscription between May 26 and May 29, 2015 will be entitled to a full and immediate refund.
There is some good news in this, however - we"ve still got plenty of giveaways coming up in the weeks and months ahead, that will be available for ALL of our readers to enjoy, so stay tuned!

Here on Neowin, we love offering giveaways to all of our readers around the world, giving them the chance to win some pretty tasty prizes. But now, we’re introducing an extra perk for Neowin Subscribers: exclusive giveaways just for them!
We’ll now be running regular contests solely for those with Neowin Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 2a subscriptions – and in the first of our new Subscriber Giveaways, we’re offering you the chance to win a Microsoft Lumia 535 smartphone...
The Microsoft Lumia 535
Launched just a few months ago, the Lumia 535 was Microsoft’s first self-branded Windows Phone following its acquisition of Nokia’s devices business last year.
With a large, 5-inch qHD display, 8GB of storage (plus microSD support up to 128GB), a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, and a 5-megapixel selfie cam, the 535 offers a solid smartphone experience, with all the essentials packed into a slim 8.8mm-thick body.
And with interchangeable rear covers, you can mix things up by purchasing new ones to add an alternative splash of color to the device too.
Remember, this giveaway is exclusively for Neowin members with an active Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 2a subscription, and to enter, all you need to do is head to this forum thread and leave a comment before Sunday, May 31 2015, when we’ll be selecting a winner at random.
What if you don"t have a subscription?
If you haven"t purchased a Neowin subscription yet, it"s easy to pick one up. There are plenty of advantages and perks to being a Neowin subscriber, including the new additional giveaways. Subscriptions start from just $14 a year - you can find out all about them here.
And if you don"t want to buy a subscription, don"t worry - we"ll still be running plenty of giveaways open to all of our readers on Neowin... In fact, we"ll be giving away the world"s thinnest smartphone - officially verified by Guinness World Records - soon, so stay tuned!
More coming soon...
Look out for the next of our Subscriber Giveaways in just a few weeks’ time – but for now, don’t forget to enter to be in with a chance of winning the Microsoft Lumia 535… and good luck!
