cell phones nowadays use lithium-ion batteries as a power source, as do most battery powered devices. a lithium-ion battery is a lithium-ion battery nonetheless. is this what causes the radiation? i would guess not or else this would not be pinpointing just cell phones, but the tv remote, kids toys, alarm clock in some cases.. that would just be silly. if the minute amount of radiation was caused by the phone keeping a constant connection to it's network, then a standard feature that just about all cell phones have is called either "stand alone" mode or "airplane" mode. this will disable the connection to the network so no wireless signal is transmitted. if you are that skeptical ask a rep for your company where to find it. the studies of whether or not cell phones are harmful have been going on for years now and no conclusive evidence of a cell phone causing health issues has been found to my knowledge. basically, this debate is all just a matter of opinion...people have been sharing their opinions about cell phones or what they use theirs for....and for the record claude, stating that frequent cell phone users don't have much for lives....let me tell you I make a very honest living working in the wireless industry and have done so for several years. I sleep just fine at night also.. i'll add my opinion now.. cell phones are important. people depend on their cell phones nowadays.. there's a reason why there are so many different types that do so many different things..or so few for guys like claude.. why carry a gps for directions, an ipod for music and videos, a digital camera, camcorder, laptop AND a cell phone when you can have whatever you want at your fingertips in one device? and for you claude... they make phones you can just talk on too....
