"To be precise, they're 57 metres ahead of you. This is the current record in the phone throwing competitions that litter the sporting calendar in Eastern Europe and the Nordics." Unfortunately they've standardized on using a Samsung SGH-R200 handset. The SPV would probably be able to get some good momentum going considering its weight 8). Competitors can choose to throw free-style (which also takes style, aesthetic beauty and overall impression into consideration), or traditional-style where they are limited to a straight-from-the-shoulder throwing technique. So, grab your phone and start practicing... It'd be fun to have something like this at a Smartphone event.

If I ever have the urge to throw my Smartphone, I'll just have a piece of gum or something. Maybe I should have said: "So, grab your phone and start practicing... It'd be fun to have something like this at a Smartphone event (using old Nokia phones of course)."

Now that's an idea... and give a Smartphone away to the winner?

Oh yeah, that would be great!

"Alright... step right up and win a Pocket PC! Whoever can throw their old Palm the furthest wins the great new iPAQ!"
