If you plan to go then prepare your phone for the challenges in advance.

For the facebook picture upload challenge the trick is to make sure to set your camera settings to the lowest possible resolution and depth. WP7 badly cheats in this challenge, it uploads a very low resolution version of the image (makes a 1.5MB picture into a low quality 125K pic) and the store wifi that they get you to connect to for this challenge is limited to ~400kb/s which places any phone capable of uploading high res pics at a clear disadvantage.
