It really does lose signal. On ascent the exhaust plume is ionized, degrading any signal. At altitude there isn't much cell signal anyway, as shooting a cell signal up in the air is wasteful.]]>Jul 30th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/nexus-one-blasts-off-to-28-000-feet-looks-slightly-worse-for-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/nexus-one-blasts-off-to-28-000-feet-looks-slightly-worse-for-we/http://www.hedgefundlive.com/notes]]>Jul 30th 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/nexus-one-blasts-off-to-28-000-feet-looks-slightly-worse-for-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/nexus-one-blasts-off-to-28-000-feet-looks-slightly-worse-for-we/

It's a good thing there's not an altimeter in the Nexus One, otherwise they'd just check some data and say, "I'm sorry, our records indicate that your Nexus One was launched into the stratosphere at a humanly impossible rate of speed and then came crashing down from 28,000 feet. Since there is no way that you were operating within normal parameters, your warranty is now voided. Have a nice day!"
