Lumia 800 Nokia phones can still send data and reports until the phone reaches a height of 8km.Reported for other devices are usually only up to 5km course. Then, at an altitude of 23km phone finally died when temperatures plummeted to -61 degrees Celsius. This phone is capable of shooting up to 2GB for the trip. Which brought an end to fly a balloon at an altitude of 32km with temperatures reaching -70 degrees Celsius, the trip took 2 hours 22 minutes.
