WOW!! 2 BB's on the list.. At least i dont see my STORM on it!!!

I was wondering why I only needed to shave the left side of my face every third day but my right side every day.

this is why you use your car's bluetooth...or a headset...

Looks like my 9530 is in the clear :)

Woot! The Storm is the 12th best phone on the list! Quite surprising considering the Curve is about the worst one.

How do you know your 9530 isn't the 11th worst? :P j/k

Wouldn't the heat of the side of your face be affected more by your hand and just holding a phone against your face. I think that blackberrys require you to hold it flatter against your face, which alone would heat you up. On the other hand this means that my method of using a bluetooth with the phone sitting in my crotch should be rethought.

That's I text, IM and email more than I talk lol.

I don't think I will believe a application that is 6$ that the fate of radiation and my life are at stake. I think the reason blackberry is reasonably safe is because you type 3/4 of the time and the other times your on blue tooth hehe

LAME!!! showing a thermographic image is the most misleading thing they could do.

I'm going to take thermographic images of my face before and after I drink a cup of hot coffee and immediately report my findings to the FCC.

I didn't realize temperature was the scale we referred to when measure SAR.

Is it just me, or does the guy in the picture closely resemble Alfred Hitchcock? Film idea... Curse of the Radioactive Cell Phones...

is probably just as crazy as taking all your cell phones and throwing them in the lake.

Theres precedent for the public ignoring health risks of a widespread and commonly accepted activity. No the skys not falling, but dont bury your head in the sand either (aren't metaphors fun?).

All that said the program being sold is probably more toy then useful. Just my 2 cents.

Glad my Storm is on the safe list....

This is why texting is a better option yes?? ;)

is actually pretty low on the list.

the tour is listed as N/A. I hope my face doesn't melt off

I think all this radiation might have affected some people's reading abilities.

This test was not done by the people who made the app.

Also, the test didn't just use "Face temperture" to determine the risk, it is measured by the "SAR" (Specific absorption rate).

If you did more than look at the picture and read the first sentence, you would realize this.

I find it very interesting that the BB Storm has one of the lowest SAR ratings and the BB Curve has one of the highest.

I'm sure there's some radiation going on that's going to heat things up, but I'd like to see a comparative shot of someone holding their empty, open hand to their head for 15 minutes.

Sweet... I knew the electronics would take over...

wow, im glad to have this info...maybe i should use a bluetooth headset for my bold

I am sure that the heat is caused by radiation. It could not possibly be that a person's face actually radiates (a lot of ) heat which gets trapped when you hold a phone to your head for 15 minutes. Anyone else ever had sweat on their phone after a long call? Let's put the phone on a water balloon which does not create its own heat and see what happens. Oh - nothing. I wonder if these people do not understand science, do not care, or are intentionally trying to create panic.

the only reason that there are 2 bb's on the list, is most likely these are business users and they are taking a work call so their temperature instantly rises due to the nature of the stress inducing stupid call they're taking at the moment.

I have to go with the "headsweat" thing as well though, a non porus piece of plastic is going to build up heat no matter what brand or type is used. They said that hats cause baldness too, let's ban those too..

use a plugin headset (earbuds) or BT, works better IMO anyway.

I know this is a BB site. But as I am browsing through phones... I put in VZW.. just to search all of their phones.... when it stumbles across PALM PRE. I know we all know its coming... but already being listed as a device for a 3rd party... hmmmmm?!

Well then I suppose I'll be dying soon as I use my Bold for everything well almost LOL.. Just won't cook for me but by the looks of the picture's here I'm thinking it might be...

Don't worry, I know that guy in the Thermographic image and he's always like that; some pills he's on.

Of course the face is going to turn colors. Phones emit light which warms the skin, and if you put anything that close to your face for 15 minutes you face temp is going to change. This is the stupidest test conducted!!!!!

i guess it might have something to do with the use of a headset lol

I dont believe in tests like these because someone obviously has an agenda! Funny how T-Mobile is named and when it comes to other phones on other carriers no mention.Example: AT&T, Verizon. Another fact is that blackberry is mentioned however the iphone looks like they never even tested. Oh, we forgot IPHONE is JESUS of cell phones? BS! I use speaker phone when on calls anyways when dealing with "candybar" type phones so I think radiation is irrelavent considering it goes nowhere near my ear.

Bluetooth headsets ftw! Those I'm sure the give off some radiation of their own it cant be anywhere hear what a phone does.

These thermographs just show the temperature of the surface of the face, correct? So do they take into effect the heat of holding a phone, which has a discharging battery, up to the side of the head for 15 minutes? How about the person talking about something embarassing or stimulating, making blood flow to certain areas of the head? There are many reasons why the head would heat up during a phone call, and I'd say the least amount of surface heat would be caused by radiation. This is such a BS thing to worry about.

Awesome now I can blame not hearing my phone ring due to the fact that I've microwaved my ear.

Funny, the storm is actually the least harmful blackberry.

Why do you guys keep schilling for this nonsense? Did they test one of the standard old Bell land line phone handsets? I'll bet you have similar thermal results, as anyone who spent any length of time talking on one can attest.

Pseudo science at its best.

Next tell me that global warming is real in the midst of one of the coldest summers on record.

Regardless of how true, or untrue, these claims are, everyone seems to be missing the big picture...

How many BB users actually use their Smartphones as "phones" these days? I, for one, can estimate pretty accurately that 90% of my BB usage is data & 10% (if even that) is actually holding it to my head and talking on it.

I'll save my worrying for when people start to get mutated thumbs due to excessive radiation from touching the screen all day long

Well I guess that explains why my Bold gets so warm on long calls...

Cellphones operate on the same electromagnetic spectrum as visible light. Before visible light can become harmful you have to increase in energy beyond the visible to the X-Ray and the Ultraviolet. Cell phones are on the opposite end of the electromagnetic spectrum near radio waves. Sure they may conduct thermal energy to you, as does your hand that you have holding your phone to your head, but that thermal energy is no more dangerous than shining a heat lamp near your head.

So where is the control sample for this study. I am betting that placing your empty hand to the side of your face for the same length of time would produce the same thermal reactions.

haha, so you guys notice how the iphone isnt on there... ohhh yeah thats cause the piece of shit cant make calls! hahaha or run applications in the background! p.s. I <3 radiation... also who actualy makes calls on their bb?

Scary!!!
