4th Annual Mobile-Phone-Throwing World Championship

In Savonlinna.

(The Finns are, I believe, the world's heaviest users of mobile phones.)

Anything to keep people distracted from Dwarf-Tossing is fine by me.

I think they should have to bring their own phone

The new World Record in the Mobile Phone Throwing is 66,72 meters! Petri Valta, competitor of the Original style, set this all-time record using a Nokia 5110 mobile phone. Janne Mielikäinen came second with a 59,29 meter throw. Third place went to Erno Riihelä with a 54,52 meter throw.
Thats a pretty good chuck for something not designed for throwing

I think they should have a throw into the wall competition.. MAN that would feel good! score on how many pieces broke off afterwards!

although I think its funny they have a standard and a freestyle!

A Motorola T720 skips nicely across a pond I hear.

And of course my twist on it would be to take the cell phone out to a shooting range...since I've been known to do this from time to time.
