T-Mobile's Find the Elf Twitter contest heads west; win $1,000 and a Samsung Galaxy S II

Fresh off a successful run in the Big Apple, T-Mobile's "Find the Elf" Twitter contest is moving to the west coast, namely Los Angeles. As contests go, it is fairly straightforward although it does require some travel. Of course it is all worth it in the end as the winner receives $1,000 and a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S II.

To win the money and the phone (or is it the phone and the money?), simply follow the tweets emanating from @TMobile. These will contain clues as to which T-Mobile location in LA has the Elf. Go over to the store and when you find the Elf, tweet "I found the Elf@TMobile #FindTheElf" and you could end up $1,000 richer and with a heck of a new Android phone as well.

As if you needed any motivation with a free Samsung Galaxy S II going to the winner (oh yes, there is the money too), check out the video below of how the contest played out in New York City.
