Cop-out. This is like using non-viruses in an antivirus test. Unless you

use a real mobile phone, how can you know that the results would be the 
same? Different density, different streamlining, different flight 
characteristics. 


--->  ROFL, not so much as a cop-out as a "close enough for this test".
The rock really was 
      pretty close the the weight of my i730, and close to the size of
it as well.  
      "Close enough for government work" I'd say!  :-)
      
     As a good friend once told me, "We're not delivering livers here!".
So the results
     of my test was certainly close enough for me.
  
     Plus, I don't have a junked mobile phone to throw...  If anyone
wants to send me one, I'll
     be happy to repeat the test using that....
