Keep The Cell Phone At Least 0.98 Inch From You When It Is Transmitting

Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.
　　

Before its announcement Tuesday, WHO had assured consumers that no adverse health effects had been established.
　　
A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
　　
What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users, but have not been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers
　　
It's important to note that in publishing this list, we are in no way implying that cell phone use is harmful to your health. Research abounds, but there still is not conclusive or demonstrated evidence as to whether cell phones cause adverse health effects in humans. While some studies have found a possible link between long-term (10 years or longer) cell phone use and brain tumors, decreased sperm count, and other ailments, other research has found no such effects. The science will continue, and we will continue to monitor the results, but it can take years of exhaustive research before studies actually prove anything (if they ever do).
　　
If you're concerned about limiting your SAR exposure, you can take a few easy steps. You can text instead placing a voice call, use a speakerphone or headset whenever possible, and carry your phone at least 1 inch from your body (making sure the antenna is facing away from you). If you're pregnant, you should avoid carrying a phone next to your abdomen. Some researchers also caution against using your phone in areas with a weak signal since phones emit more electro-magnetic radiation during those times. Children, who have smaller and thinner skulls, should limit cell phone use, and people of any age should not sleep with an active phone next to the bedside or under the pillow.
　　
BlackBerry Bold advises users to "keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 inch (25 millimeters) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting."
　　
The logic behind such recommendations is that the further the phone is from the body, the less radiation is absorbed. Users can also use the speakerphone function or a wired earpiece to gain some distance.
　　
Users can text instead of talk if they want to keep the phone away from their faces.
　　
Finally, cell phones emit the most radiation when they are attempting to connect to cellular towers. A moving phone, or a phone in an area with a weak signal, has to work harder, giving of more radiation. So users can avoid using their cell phones in elevators, buildings and rural areas if they want to reduce their exposure, experts say.

Samsung Vibrant Is The Sleekest And Sexiest One Of The Phones

T-Mobile scored the very first Android smartphone with the G1. And now with the introduction of the Samsung Vibrant, it has one of the fastest and most powerful as well.
　　

The Vibrant, as you know, is part of the Galaxy S line of Samsung Android smartphones, along with the Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate and Verizon Fascinate. Each remains the prototypical black slab, albeit with its own personality and customizations. And like its cousins, the Vibrant also sports one of the fastest mobile processors available, one of the best screens and some great software tweaks.

Design
　　
Out of all the Samsung Galaxy S series models, we'd have to say the Samsung Vibrant is the sleekest and sexiest one of the bunch. The look is rather familiar, but the combination of the slim profile, clean design, and rounded edges is really pleasing to the eye. Also, at 4.82 inches tall by 2.54 inches wide by 0.39 inch thick and 4.16 ounces, the Vibrant makes for a nice travel companion, slipping easily into a pants pocket and feeling lightweight in the hand. That said, the handset feels plasticky and slick. We wouldn't say it's fragile, but it definitely left a lot to be desired, especially compared with the solid and durable Nexus One.
　　
Features
　　
Like its Galaxy S siblings, Vibrant offers nearly all the modern cell Android 2.1 amenities – 7.2 Mbps 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, a speedy 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 5-megapixel camera and HD (720p resolution, 30 frames per second) video recorder, Bluetooth 3.0, six-axis sensor for enhanced gaming, 16GB internal memory, and SWYPE text input, as well as Samsung’s “Social Hub,” which aggregate updates from your Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts.
　　 
Software
　　
The Samsung Vibrant ships with Android 2.1 and she be upgraded to 2.2 by the end of the summer. It’s running Samsung’s Touchwiz 3.0 on top, which is a drastic improvement from older versions of Touchwiz.
　　
What you’ll notice first about the Touchwiz overlay is the fixed dock bar at the bottom of the homescreen. It provides you with access to the dialer, contacts, messages, and app drawer. You’ll also get 7 homescreens to customize to your liking.
　　
Click on the app drawer icon and you’ll find a very different scene than you’ve seen on stock Android. This is where it gets iPhone-like again. Each icon is encased in a colored square, much like you’ll find on the iPhone. Unlike the stock Android, Touchwiz provides a horizontal slide app drawer as opposed to the normal vertical one.
　　
Great performance - One of the most likeable features of the Vibrant is its speed for opening apps, sending messages, viewing multimedia, and loading Web pages (when the T-Mobile network doesn’t hold it back).
　　
Minimal Android doctoring - The best thing about the Vibrant and one of the main reasons why I consider it the best device in the Galaxy S fleet, is that T-Mobile has done the least amount of damage to the native Android OS. Meanwhile, AT&T, Sprint, and worst of all Verizon, each loaded up their Galaxy S models with lots of crapware promoting their own add-on services (and made the extra crapware apps uninstallable). The Vibrant isn’t perfect in this respect. It still futzes with the Android home and apps screens and removes some of the standard Android apps and widgets, but it’s better than its cousins on the other carriers.
　　
Svelte design - For all of its high-end features, the Vibrant doesn’t sacrifice as much in design as the oversized HTC EVO or Motorola Droid X. The Vibrant is much thinner, lighter, and easier to fit in a pocket, belt case, or handbag. It also has an attractive — if not flashy — look. The designers were obviously mimicking the look of the old iPhone (pre-iPhone 4) with the chrome edge around the screen and the plastic backing.

The Nokia N9 Is An Example Of Extreme Product Making And Craft

The Nokia N9 introduces an innovative new design where the home key is replaced by a simple gesture: a swipe. Whenever you're in an application, swiping from the edge of the display takes you home. The three home views of the user interface are designed to give fast access to the most important things people do with a phone: using apps, staying up to date with notifications and social networks, and switching between activities.
　　
The industrial design of the Nokia N9 is an example of extreme product making and craft. The body is precision-machined from a single piece of polycarbonate and flows seamlessly into beautiful curved glass. The laminated deep black display means that the user interface just floats on the surface of the product.
　　

The Nokia N9 also packs the latest in camera, navigation and audio technology for a great all-round experience.
　　
"With the Nokia N9, we wanted to design a better way to use a phone. To do this we innovated in the design of the hardware and software together. We reinvented the home key with a simple gesture: a swipe from the edge of the screen. The experience sets a new bar for how natural technology can feel," said Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia's head of Design. "And this is just the beginning. The details that make the Nokia N9 unique - the industrial design, the all-screen user experience, and the expressive Qt framework for developers - will evolve in future Nokia products."
　　
It's taken a long time for Nokia's MeeGo-packing N9 to make its way into our top secret labs (the N9 moniker was first applied to early E7prototypes), but it's here in our dirty little hands, at last, and it's glorious -- well, as glorious as a stillborn product can be, anyway.
　　
The N9 is the latest and greatest in a long line of quirky, interesting, yet ultimately flawed touchscreen experiments from Nokia that includes the Hildon-sporting 7710, a series of Maemo-based "internet tablets" (770, N800, N810, N900) and most recently, the N950 MeeGo handset for developers. What makes the N9 special is that it represents Nokia's last flagship phone as an independent player. MeeGo is already dead, and future high-end devices from the manufacturer will run Windows Phone and use Microsoft's services. So, is this the company's final bittersweet hurrah? Did MeeGo ever stand a chance against Android, iOSand Mango? In its attempt to stay relevant, is Nokia throwing out the baby with the bathwater? Most importantly, how does the N9 fare in today's merciless dual-core world? Find out after the break.
　　
Support for folders on the center/home screen: You need to manually create a folder, but then can drag and drop shortcuts into the folder and the first four appear on the folder thumbnail image.
　　
New features for the Camera and Gallery apps: Camera updates include enable/disable flash icon with red eye, flash on for video recording, and new video filters. Gallery updates include face tagging and face recognition, along with video editing similar to what you see on the iPhone.
　　
Bigger keys on Swype keyboard (MUCH appreciated)
　　
Integrated account support for Dropbox: You can now share files to Dropbox, similar to how you see share used in Android.
　　
Music player supports playlist creation
　　
Threaded email option (another MAJOR improvement for me): This is toggled in the settings and not from within the email application.
　　
Browser improvements: History appears below the top sites section, copy and paste is now supported within the browser, and you can save passwords.
　　
There is talk in the forums that support for video calling with the front facing camera was also added, but it seems you need a 3rd party client that supports this as Skype video calling is still not yet supported.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Is Neatly Personalized By The Optimized Version Of The UX Interface

We've got exactly what we wished for. After being rather impressed by Sony Ericsson's ultra-small Xperia X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro, we couldn't help but wonder what Sony Ericsson's heavily customised Android OS would look like on a phone with a middle-of-the-road screen that sits somewhere between that of the monster X10 and the tiny X10 Minis.And that's exactly what we've got here.
The screen of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is three inches in size, so slightly smaller than the 3.2-inch norm as seen in the likes of the HTC Legend, LG Optimus One and many, many more Android phones.The company's latest attempt, then, is the Xperia X8. It sits somewhere between the X10 mini and full-size X10 in terms of size, making for a small-but-not-tiny Android smartphone. It's also relatively inexpensive at just £130, or free on £15pm contracts.

The software running on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is neatly personalized by the optimized version of the UX interface, or in other words, it's the same personalization we saw in the X10 mini. In our opinion, it is a quite intuitive and convenient solution, perfect for handsets with relatively small screens.

The X8's design is a tough one to nail down. It's clearly not the most elegant device going and its plastic construction certainly makes itself known. However, it feels solid and well put together, and has a certain charm. If colour's your thing, you'll be pleased to know the backplate is available in a variety of thereof, though the front remains pearlescent white whichever you choose.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 supports Wi-Fi, as well as two-band 3G (900/1200) and GPS. Speaking of GPS, we did experience some problems when trying to get ourselves localized, and had to turn on the A-GPS so that our location could be found in a couple minutes.

The 3.2MP camera without autofocus or flash is powered by the same interface found on the X10 mini, i.e. pretty simple and straightforward stuff, with four presets for the photos (Auto, Beach/snow, Twilight and Sports) and two quality modes for the videos (“Normal” and “For MMS”). The Gallery app works great with its smooth transitions when swiping between photos and the above-mentioned one-touch zoom feature.　This phone appearance follows the Sony Ericsson consistent style, concise do not break vogue again. Fuselage size appropriate, easy to carry and use. mobile phone for gradual change color design, there are a variety of colors to choose from, like lovely model girl can use beautiful silvery, white and pink, seek sedate low-key girls can also use black or blue. operating aspect, it use virtual QWERTY keyboard, through the touch screen to control.

In addition, this mobile phone performance quite complete, music, photos, Internet, intelligent all aspects are doing very well, use qualcomm MSM7227 600MHz CPU, 128MB memory, camera pixel reach 3.2 million, Support for face recognition, and white balance, and other functions, taking photos and video performance is very good. Support 3GP,MPEG-4 and other formats video playback, support MP3,AAC,eAAC+ and other formats format audio playback, Sound quality is very good. there are a variety of SMS support, instant messaging and many applications, it can install multiple entertainment software, let users only from a small cell phone can get unlimited joy.

Comprehensive comment on: Sony Ericsson X8 appearance of gradual change color is used on the biggest characteristic of this mobile phone, gradual change color is it looks colourful,let people like. Although this mobile performance good, but new ideas inadequate, but to have a lot of his spare time for the young girl, This mobile phone is absolutely can provide very good entertainment services, can let users at leisure time Kill boring time. However, due to the influence of system and the hardware, Sony Ericsson X8 overall function is not very strong, only through its fashionable appearance and rich entertainment for added, relatively cheap price can say it is one more affordable mobile phone.

The HTC Evo 4G LTE Runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich With Sense 4

Sprint unveiled the HTC EVO 4G LTE flagship phone in early April. Even in our first hands-on, we were quite impressed with the new phone. Sprint and HTC got a lot of attention with the first EVO 4G, which helped usher in the era of phones with screens exceeding 4.3 inches. It was also the flagship for Sprint’s WiMax 4G network. Still a distant third in the race, Sprint has seen its rivals kick it up a notch, pushing high-speed LTE networks and high-end exclusive devices, but because of its major investment in the iPhone 4S, Sprint may not have been able to afford to launch much else for a while… until now, that is. The EVO 4G LTE will be Sprint’s top 4G LTE device and the first phone to integrate HD Voice, a much clearer way to hear and be heard over a wireless network.
　　
If you want to know the nitty gritty of the HTC EVO 4G LTE, look no further than our review of the HTC One X. The new EVO is essentially the same phone, minus some outward tweaks and the addition of HD Voice. Like its brother, it runs Android 4.0 and has all of the perks of the new One phones, including the HTC Sense 4.0 user interface and the ImageSense chip that aids the camera, providing some fairly stellar video and still shots (watch our hands-on with the One X camera). Thanks to a simple new UI, you can actually record a video while you take screenshots as well or hold down the on-screen shutter button to take a burst of up to 99 photos; you can save the ones you like or select to keep all of them.
　　
So you've decided that HTC is the brand you want to spend the next 24 months of your life with - but that's not the end of the quest.You have a plethora of devices, price points and operating systems to choose from and it can all get a little bewildering. But which is the best HTC phone for you?Thankfully TechRadar is on hand to help you out - check out our run down of all the HTC phones around at the moment:
　　
With the HTC Sensation comes a dual core flagship HTC phone to stand against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the LG Optimus 2X.Coming in at a similar price point to its smartphone rivals, the HTC Sensation is a premium handset: solid, with a 4.3inch screen and weighing in at around 150g. It'll set you back about £35 a month on a two year deal, or £500 SIM free.The dual core makes it a powerhouse of a phone; it has impressive internet browsing and download speeds and more than enough power to smoothly run Android 2.3.3 with the Sense 3.0 iteration. Everything you'd expect from a high-end, high-spec smartphone.
　　
The Evo uses a 1.3 megapixel camera on the front, has three capacitive buttons - for home, search and recent applications - and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack. The right-hand side hosts the volume and camera buttons. On the back is an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash above the microSD card slot. A red stripe on the back of the phone covers the kickstand.
　　
Apple's iPhone 4S uses a VGA camera on the front, and doesn't use capacitive buttons - the only button is the physical home button which returns users to the home screen. It also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the volume button on the front which doubles up as the camera's shutter button. The rear camera is 8 megapixels with LED flash. There's no kickstand or microSD card expansion in iPhones, though 16, 32 and 64GB versions are available.
　　
The front camera of the Nokia Lumia 900 is a single megapixel and can record video at 30 frames per second; the rear camera is 8 megapixels, with dual LED flash and a 720p resolution. Windows Phone devices include three capacitive buttons: the Windows Key - the home button equivalent, Bing search and the return button. 16GB of internal storage is available, with no support for expansion.
　　
Operating system
　　
The Evo 4G LTE runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense 4, the latest version of HTC's long-running skin. HTC aimed to streamline Sense, after previous versions were criticised for becoming too flashy and power hungry. The OS allows seven screens for customisation, allowing users to add widgets and arrange icons. Four icons run across the bottom of the screen for easy access, which can also be switched out for others.
　　
Android also has the advantage of integration with Google services such as Gmail and has access to Google Play - the rebranded Android Market - which offers over 500,000 titles. NFC support includes Google Wallet, allowing payments to be made through the phone.
　　
IOS 5 runs on the iPhone 4S, Apple's latest version of the operating system which was launched October 12 in 2011. The update was a major update for iOS: it brought a revamped notification system - largely replacing pop-ups with a window pane that can be dragged down from the status bar, as in Android - and iCloud, Apple's cross-device cloud storage service that allows content to be shared simultaneously. The BlackBerry Messenger competitor, iMessage, brought free messaging to iOS users.
