BlackBerry Bold 9700 Has Highest Legal Radiation Level

What a scary thought this is.  Mauricio from BlackBerry Rocks came across some not so nice statistic, which may get some of you worried about rockin’ your Bold 9700.  So yes, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 appears to have the highest level of radiation a phone can legally have.  In this chart, you’ll see it compared to other devices, which some aren’t so far from it, but still.  I am especially troubled only because after breaking my Bold 9700 this morning, I have purchased another in a local AT&T store and having it set up as we speak.  Basically this isn’t the type of info you want to know about your phone upon purchasing it.  Does this worry any of you fellow 9700 owners?

    yes this is a concern, but I'm keeping it. So does this mean that if you put 4 cell phones (instead of 5 cell phones) around popcorn and made phone calls, the popcorn would pop?

    To cut down on the exposure, I use regular plug in headset for phone calls (bluetooth has radiation too), and turn off the phone between the hours of 11pm and 5am. I can only imagine what the old brick cell phones were radiating back in the late 80's…you know the ones… with those giant coil wound inductors inside.

    Boyzzzz don't rock your cell phones near the jewels if you want healthy swimmers.
