The Environmental Working Group has produced a database of over 1000 mobile phones and listed their radiation levels. The Bold 9700, Nexus One and Droid do not fair well which probably explains the headache I have… Thanks to Julie for the link.
“New cell phones in 2010 are loaded with new features. For some models, like Motorola’s Droid, Blackberry Bold 9700, LG Chocolate Touch and HTC Nexus One by Google, consumers pay a hidden price: exposure to the highest legal levels of cell phone radiation. You can see for yourself by looking the radiation levels for new 2010 cell phones.
Other new phones emit significantly less radiation.
Which is which? You won’t find out from those pricey ad campaigns or even the labels. Makers and vendors aren’t required to disclose their products’ radiation output at point of sale.
That’s why EWG has created a user-friendly interactive cell phone radiation list and database, covering more than 1,000 phones now on the market. We’ve updated it with the wireless industry’s latest and greatest offerings for the 2010 market.”
Interesting to see the Palm Pixi is higher than the treo 650.
I thought the 650 was discontinued partially due to high brain zapping?
