Perhaps you haven't heard this myth (well, let's hope it's a myth) that used to
circulate when cell phones first became popular -- it was feared (by those who
like to fear such things) that the electromagnetic field produced by the cell
phone could cause brain tumors due to the phone being held to the ear, proximal
to the brain, for long periods. Presumably, the message warns us of a similar
hazard from playing too many games of cell phone chess -- thumb cancer, warts,
or maybe even severe fingernail discoloration.
So when can we expect Nokia Tiger to become available?
