mobile phone reciever (antenna)
bluetooth
wifi
just one up against your head is relatively harmless, but now we're talking all 3 transmitting at the same time....i dunno.

this is true also.....probably none of the waves coming from devices will kill anyone unless they decided to cram themselves in a microwave and crank it to HIGH.....
but then again, i can see the trend where portable devices are emitting more and more waves. i don't want something like that up against my face all the time. and only use bluetooth in the car when necessary.

So will anyone wait in line for 8320 for me, so I can trade my AT&T 8300 for it?
:P.
If not I gotta keep this guy in MINT condition so it gets a fair price on eBay when they do come (then I can buy the new 8320 with the money :P ).

Gee... different rumors about the release date for the Curve.
I do hope it comes out in late August. I am somewhat getting tired of the small screen and suretype.
Few weeks ago, I decided to check out the 8300 Curve for AT&T. It looks cool and feels good in the hand.

Definitely the best BlackBerry I've had to date. I'm actually looking forward to the 8310 moreso than the 8320. If I decide to go with T-Mobile, I may look into the 8320, but who knows. I've got huge 'pocket buldge' already with my 8300 and iPhone... kind of reminds me of a joke. LOL!

even tho wifi is cool, it's a significant shot in the foot when you consider how much slower your internet connection will be when compared to a physical wire to the router/modem.....
have a look @ zdnet's article here.... » Stupid FioS broadband tricks | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com
it's a good example to see how speed goes down the toilet when you use wifi with the fastest tethered internet connection available (fios).
