heheh... Those old phones must be heavier than the max allowed 400grams. There is a stipulation that the phone must be between 200 - 400grams. Now that you mention those old flip phones, my wife used to have one of them, I wonder if we still have it somewhere.... Pretty sure that got tossed out though.... Maybe removing the battery will bring it into the weight range? If you send it, I'll throw it ;-) I'll consider having the wife tape it too.... But something this absurd usually has my wife looking at me like I have three heads <grin>. Nothing bigger than that flip phone though... I really don't want to hurt myself trying to throw one of those old bag phones 50 yards or more... I think my little test yesterday is enough to say that I couldn't get to 89meters though and it just originally sounded shorter than it is. We really need a ball player to try and throw that phone though. Anyone a BaseBall player and wanna try throwing a flipphone as far as they can? Michael P.

Last night I was able to throw a "cell phone like device", ok it was a rock that was roughly the size and weight of my motorola i730....Cop-out. This is like using non-viruses in an antivirus test. Unless you use a real mobile phone, how can you know that the results would be the same? Different density, different streamlining, different flight characteristics.
LOL - okay Michael, I have at my disposal one of the original Motorola flip phones (you know the ones the drug dealers in movies used in the very early 90s, right after they dumped the big brick phone and the bag phone - 3/4 of the phone is battery). Give me an address to ship it to. :) Hey, does anyone have an old bag or brick phone? That would be cool too... I think we need video of this even. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
