It would be something awful if he does bother climbing all the way up there and can't get a signal.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/]]>Apr 2nd 2007 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/
It's amazing the shit that people do to try and get sponsorship - good on him for getting the cash. . .

1. The North-Ridge is NOT the hardest route - it's one of the easiest - he'll be surrounded by 100's of other climbers.

2. I am almost certain that there will be no cellular connection - my guess is that he'll be using a satphone just like everyone else. Perhpas an Iridium sat phone (Motorola 9505) that's 7 years old at least.

3. The world's highest phone call happens at least 50-80 times a year - everyone makes a sat phone call from the top.

C'mon Engadet - how do you let this stuff get posted?]]>Apr 2nd 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/
Anyway,David - I never heard about your phone call, but I am reading about this one - that should tell you something. ]]>Apr 2nd 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/Apr 2nd 2007 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/02/motorola-sponsoring-attempt-at-worlds-highest-cellphone-call/May 21st 2007 6:39PM
