ive owned a mobile phone since i was 11, have gone through about 50 different phones since.. im now 19 and work in a phone store.. I usually sleep with my phone under my pillow or just beside my head.. for years ive always had headaches when laying down.. i put it down to my phone so moved it away for a few weeks and my head seemed better.. my eyesight is starting to get a little worse tho..

during my school years yr 8 to yr 12 i had a phone (sometimes 2) in my school pants pockets.. god only knows what this has done to my ovaries then??.. im a heavy txt messenger and rarely talk on my phone, if so its never more then 1hour.. I reckon i would be the perfect candiate for this research!

> In reply to caver @ 2009-10-30 09:52 from p3DUI think is OBIUSLY that the radiation it's not good for us, the feeling to have the cel phone in our ears for a few minutes make us unconfortable and ansios, so I think we don't need much test to understand something that our body expres ....Just feel it and believe what you want to believe, it's your life!!!

this is a real information about GSM's SAR & DAS the phone electro-radiation damage a function of head slowly and human became depress or get a cancer and more
this real inforamtions from this site web and if you don't belive it that mean a fone became a lovely habite to you ............

many people use mobilphons and we are still over 6 miliard .cancer appers because of another thinks wich are test approved.so lets droop the speculations.

If I held a brick to my face for 15 minutes, the side of my head would be heated like it is displayed in those thermal images.
This doesn't prove anything.

From the electromagnetically point of view (the important part in respect to the real danger) the presented information is absolute information less in respect to the topic. Thermal pictures are always a relative presentation of the information and can't be judged without the relevant Data! Even more important is the fact that they can only present a surface plot and not the import information inside the head!
The presented pictures only show the fact that when you keep an object(whatever it is - mobile, cable telephone, a book) on one side of your face it will heat up as the heat of the skin can't be transmitted to the environment as usual. Same holds true when you go to bed and lay on the side of your face - there is no known case where someone suffers cancer from sleeping...
There are several sources in every days life where we are confronted with much higher fields.
Just my two pence about a topic many people discuss about without even have a bit of an idea what's all about.

A possible "budget" consideration to decreasing the amount of daily radiation exposure, is to put your phone into Offline (Nokia)/Airplane (Samsung) Mode at night. Different companies have different names for this mode. This way, you can still check the time in the morning, listen to music, have your alarm wake you up, etc, with less RF emissions.

Well if cell phones can really reduce the number of spermatozoids, then this is serious. I am a guy and I carry my cell phone in my back pocket. I wonder if electromagnetic radiation can reduce other things too :)

Radiation also affects your cells -apart from thermal effect! Therefore, it is not only risk for cancer..

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-10-29 00:58 from xLjCthe speakerphone doesn't go on your ear it is baisicly a better speakerphone for your phone you just keep it in the car. so it is a couple feet away from you and you can keep the phone several feet away reducing the radiation as much as possible. i have a bluetooth sterio in my car and this is the next best thing at a fraction of the cost.

It would be nice if there was an application/option on my cellphone to have it offline and connect automagically every n minutes, to get all the missed calls and messages. I don't use my cellphone a lot, maybe 5-6 calls and messages per day, so the radiation would be a lot less for me. Unfortunately I cannot do it myself since I'm still learning to code.

Keep up the good work! Looking forward to see the SAR values

SAR ratings for in-call, standby and active-data-connections like, e.g. ActiveSync or GoogleSync, would be great!

How about using a bluetooth headset?

simple things 2 do 2 avoid radiation on your phone and protect your eardrums....

1. used headset during phone call
2. used speaker during phone call remember used only in good environment
3. listening mp3 used only minimal volume

good luck

It should be on the to of the list with pantech and kyocera

Deep Space Bar:

The battery doesn't have much to do with the article or your head heating up, and batteries are placed on the other side of the phone so they do not contact your face.

The point I was trying to make is that the phone will exert greater power on its surroundings when in a weaker signal environment, such as the subway, or in buildings. Therefore, the SAR ratings of phones provide the maximum specific power absorption per kilogram tissue. So if your phone has a head SAR rating of 1.2W/kg then in good reception the phone may be using 0.5W/kg because it doesn't "stress" the phone to search for a better signal.

Also, for those that are still unconvinced, I'm a Biologist and have been studying this "stuff" for a long time. Microwaves, which are emitted from cell phones (as well as WiFi routers, microwaves, etc.), all emit radiation that induces molecular rotation. Which means that the components of your cells rotate as if in resonance with the phone's RF emissions. The stronger the RF emissions, the faster they will rotate.

This molecular rotation is what is responsible for the raised temperature in the head/body parts where the phone is being used. And the reason why other RF's don't "affect" us as much is because they function at a different wavelength, which has less "power" to induce molecular rotation/vibration.

Hello everyone,
Everyone uses mobile phones but the thing how we r using them and after knowing all these disadvantages we should take care and keep thing in mind that we can only use the worlds best phone only if our health is ok and if not then there is no use of using the latest technology.....

take care everyone....
