Fennolingua is organising the third Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship on Saturday the 24th of August, 2002 in Savonlinna, Finland! Who can challenge Jani Torpo's 57-metre world record throw?

We are offering wireless communication in languages from all around the world and if you have a lurking sense of frustration concerning:

  • Unanswered mobile calls
  • Wrong numbers
  • "Sorry, this number cannot be reached at the moment "-situations
  • "Sorry, this number does not exist any longer"-messages
  • "Your battery is low"-messages
  • Conversations that take place with the answering machine
then this is the right time and place to let go of them.

The next World Championships in Mobile Phone Throwing are to be held on Saturday the 24th of August, 2002 in the Riihisaari island.

The equipment for the competition are original brands, such as Nokia, Ericsson and others. All mobile phones are provided by Fennolingua and they come with original batteries.

You can register either in Freestyle or Original (the traditional over the shoulder -style). Alternatively, you can register as a team (max. three persons / team). We also have a Junior category for competitors of under 12 years.

Grading in Freestyle is based on style and aesthetics, whereas in Original the grading is purely based on length and style. In both categories theree prizes will be awarded, but all participants will receive a diploma.
