Cellphone Radiation

When you think radiation, you think glowing green ooze that can give you incredible ninja powers right? Or perhaps nuclear disasters like the Russian Chernobyl power plant incident. Whatever it may be, I doubt cellphone radiation is the first thing that comes to mind, if at all. It has only been the last few years where cell phone radiation studies have been giving any type of attention. Symptoms of headaches and dizziness have been brought up, with fears of brain cancer.

If this picture doesn't do anything for you, you probably are oblivious to your own personal health.

I can say that if I was a cellphone salesman, I would bring up the Impression's low radiation level as a selling point. I can almost guarantee people would seriously consider this phone over another seeing how health conscious people are these days. No I'm not trying to sell this phone, I am just noting how happy I was to hear it being a health conscious man, getting my feet wet into my 30s. Believe me, it comes with several pros and cons which I am now inclined to post.

I have a sort-of-like/hate relationship with my phone, but it looks like I can upgrade that to like/hate. The Samsung Impression SGH-A877 was rated #1 in lowest radiation phones in the United States, according to the EWG (Environmental Working Group). Looks like I can put blame for my short term memory elsewhere. To me, health is #1. And so should it be for you. Without it, who cares if I have to restart my phone to text someone every few weeks?
