First Tweet from atop Everest courtesy of the Galaxy S II

08 May, 2011
Kenton Cool recently became the first person ever to tweet from the top of Mount Everest. The British mountaineer sent both a tweet and made a 3G call via the relatively new 3G enabled phone mast...

climbing the mountain is a feat but he couldve tweeted with any smartphone as long as the carrier had a signal up there

    MR.change, 09 May 2011May I politely point out the fact that you are a little lat... moreYes I agree with you. I am expecting Galaxy S2 review for the past month in GSMArena and I open the page almost everyday expecting it, also they are not active as they were before publishing reviews almost every 4 or 5 days. I don't look at any other site for reviews coz they can't be as detailed as GSMArena. So still expecting some basics and a lot more from GSMArena...........

          that's not amazing it's the service from Ncell(one of mobile carrier in Nepal) ,you can do it even if you have simple Nokia 3G enable handset like Nokia 6120c.
          But I am amazed that why GSM Arena published this news? Does Samsung pay for them for marketing of Galaxy S II ?

                MR.change, 09 May 2011May I politely point out the fact that you are a little lat... moreIn fairness, gsmarena puts out the most thorough reviews of any phone site on the net. I don't even read other reviews UNTIL I've read theirs.

                  Have to agree that samsung does tend to put cutting edge technology into their Android phones. I think, however, that their rather poor support (I8910HD for example) and disregard for users who shell out top dollar for their devices hugely overshadows the tech they incorporate into the phones. I hasten to add that a premium gadget at a 500+ pound selling price should not have such cheap looking and feeling materials (back cover). Lighter isn't always better Samsung. I may be in the minority who LOVE a heavy premium feeling handset, but surely something better than cheap plastic for the price we are being asked to pay.

                      May I politely point out the fact that you are a little late with this piece of news?
                      Also please ,where is the galaxy s2 review? GSMArena is almost the only major tech site which hasn't publish a review for this beat yet!
                      Which is sad, very sad.
                      techradar, slashgear,
                      engadget have all published theirs days ago , why not you?

                      Please be more active like you were before.

                      cheers
