Um, no, they are designed with a magnet, by RIM, on purpose. The magnet puts the device to 'sleep' to help conserve the battery.

This would be a resounding NO they are not bad for phones. As juwaack said the devices are specifically designed for use with a magnet. not an opinion, just a fact.

I agree also.
In fact I have used a holster w/o a magnet and installed 1 in it.
Works great.

Oh we are all certainly allowed opinion, but this is a goofy reason for a poll. Of course the magnet does not hurt the BB, why would RIM actually manufacture the holsters with the magnet and place their name on the holsters?
