    According to a just released study done by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the BlackBerry Curve 8330 is #4 on a list of phones with the highest levels of radiation. The group says they tested radiation emissions of over 1000 phones marketed in the United States.

    Hah..

    "What is even more disturbing is that the darned Apple iPhone didn’t make the top 10. Now that would have been exciting."

    Weird that they are calling it "HRE". It's technically called "SAR" for Specific Absorption Rate. All cell phones have a SAR rating by the FCC, which apparently is maxed at 1.66(or something very similar).

    I've got a great question for you...
    I wonder if you have the intellect to answer.

    Before the age of 2, babies in Japan are given (4) that is, four vaccines
    compared to the US which gives 22-32 shots...

    Do YOU know why?

    BTW, your saying "tin fol hats" denotes you are ignorant and cannot refute
    information because you're inept.

    Please answer...

    If not, here Let me google that for you

    This might help you

    Ha umm....your LMGTFY link doesn't answer the question. Furthermore, I have no idea how you linked supposed radiation from cell phones to infant vaccines, but hey you got me to reply, so I guess you are the smartest this time!

    Intellect? How does anything I said refer to my intellect? SAR/HRE is real, it does affect the brain. But it doesn't affect the brain anymore than eating Sweet-n-lo for 20 years which is also rumored to cause cancer. Coincidentally, popcorn is also rumored to cause cancer.

    Do you realize that you'd have to have it strapped to your head for decades before you would develope a tumor? And even then, it's only when the device is using the CELLULAR RADIO. While the device isn't on a call, the cellular radio is barely being used, blipped on briefly here and there to deliver data.

    Stop spouting your holier-than-thou additude and acting like you are some great diety.


    People like you are the same morons that think they can feel the frequency's put off by Wifi, which is indisputably FALSE and made up by people that need attention.

    What's next..you can feel the ULF given off by earthquakes?

    What happened guys, lol the post content just changed from blackberry radiation to a person's intellect? Lol, saying that there are those small patches you can buy that supposedly reduces the phone radiation by up to 90%.
    and i hate i phones lol

    does a higher radiation level means at least a higher signal?

    So, then the question is, how much radiation does a bluetooth headset put out?

    I almost never have my BB up to my head (I take notes during phone calls), but the bluetooth is attached instead.

    Because I'm lazy, I didn't Google the answer. I will tell you that their is absolutely no scientific link to vaccinations and autism, because I can already feel that is where you are going. The lack of immunizations is however linked to the increased death rate due to immunizable childhood illnesses. Keep it on topic, asshat.

    While many earpiece devices actually emit lower levels of radiation than cell phones, the earpiece does put the source of power closer to your brain.

    So it seems to be divided fairly equally between those who believe Bluetooth headsets are riskier than cell phones, and those who believe they are safer,

    You can never win hey, lol.
