Default Do blackberry's emit more radiation?
Cell phone radiation has been in the media lately. Do blackberry's emit more radiation just because of their technology? For example, the blackberry storm has a low SAR rating but since it is a blackberry, does it not matter? Any opinions?

Certain BB's tend to have pretty bad SAR test results, like the Sprint 8330 specifically.

Kinda surprised that "don't use cell phones" wasn't one of the suggestions...

You know, for a Genius of Geniuses you're getting into some pretty touchy territory on a phone forum.

Yep, again. More foolish people worried about cell phones, swine flu and the aliems coming to get them.

I have to admit I am more worried about swine flu. I worry about cellphone radiation and alien abduction roughly equally. I am much more worried about what harm I might do to my Tour than vice versa.

What about swine-flu infected aliens who are carrying cell phones that emit lots of radiation?

Seriously, we're surrounded by radiation every day. If we're going to fret that much, we may as well draw the blinds and seal the doors and windows.

I'll just go on using my phone, usually with my trusty headset....I'm not concerned anyway...I've got extra fluid surrounding my brain.

Doors and windows don't stop radiation though...

Sure they do, we have coatings on our windows to reduce the amount of radiation entering the office.

But then you have the electric and wireless devices inside the office already
