And not only when held to the ear, which is of course much stronger, when speaking, but even when just on stand-by is not the greatest idea to keep in close proximaty to the body all day long. I could also say personally that if someone were to put ten different handsets to my ear, 5 mobiles and 5 normal phones one after each other, randomly, whilst I'm blindfolded, and when they are connected to another person (but without sound, so I can't hear the difference in clarity of reception), I could easily tell which are the Mobiles, and which not. Also, test these phones with a radiation detector (used for testing microwave ovens). Then you will easily see there is radiation. What myth??? S.Taylor
