Phones and tumours Italy s highest civil court has stated that mobile phones can cause brain tumours to the dismay of medical experts who say no study has proven a clear causal link between health risks
and mobile-phone use. In a 12 Â October decision made public last week, the court ruled in favour of a commerce manager who claimed his tumour was a consequence of the heavy phone usage demanded by his job.

You can't really blame Apple for your inability to keep your phone safe. Cool1:
Probably don't buy it cellphone plans are long and expensive so why get a chep bad phone
Buy good phones that's my controversial opinion. 1: 32 i feel like I'm getting the hang of HTML on this thing!
The camera is unheralded as maybe THE main thing that puts the iphone above android phones in quality--apple's image processing is amazing way better than even flashy HTC
1: 567 whenever people gchat me it goes DONGGG on my phone and then I have to scroll all the way back down to where
If you don't like the lack of 4g the terrible glass on the back the poor html get a different phone!
My previous phone was an HTC but I hated their lack of removable battery lack of micro SD aluminum unibody.
You can't really blame Apple for your inability to keep your phone safe. Second your phone isn't old.
I'm still using a 3gs and writing this on my 3gs which is old and decrepit.
Just because you are on your phone as I am doesn't mean you can't take the 30 seconds out of your busy schedule to proofread what you wrote before you post it.
If not that phone suckswow. $200 for the 32 gig phone from last year. Ouchie. Not looking good for moving forward so far...
I'll give you $1 for your phone!@@mike13323it is supposed obviously to be satirical and it is your comment that comes off as pathetic.
First off quit complaining to the peanut gallery about your shattered phone that was your fault and nobody else's. Secondly there is no reason for you to misspell that many words using an iphone.
Popsci ftw. 2. Please tell me you are getting a new phone (more to avoid getting shards in your hand than to accommodate requests in the comments.

Overall I think the abundant existence of pocket calculators on phones and a computer at every turn means we'll be alright without everyone knowing how to do too much math in their head.
because it's good wrote Sam Biddle for Gizmodo earlier this year about the reason for the success of Android phones.
It might be the best phone I've ever used. The tide is turning and that means one thing.
Rents were cheap--you could snag a phone for free or for $50 or $100 with a two-year contract.
You could get an Android phone on whatever network you want including those that deal significantly
You could get a buy-one-get-one-free deal on a phone. That's why the lower-income set opts for Android over ios. The iphone is for rich people not necessarily
a current-generation iphone costs as much and sometimes less than a current-generation top-of-the-line Android phone.
but there are dozens of Android phones at any given point. You have space to stretch out
but couldn't quite bring yourself to move To that makes it different from the other top-tier Android phones on the market like the Samsung Galaxy S IV a more-of-the-same sequel to a phone we didn't much like last year. iphone users might look at a Galaxy S
and think Why ditch my comfortable luxurious iphone ecosystem for a chintzy plastic Samsung phone with desperately overstuffed featuresets?
Android phones are now a legitimate option for the wealthy. And as the rich people come to Android the apps will follow
because I can make my phone mine not some companies vision of what I want.
If I have nearly $500 to spend on a phone and didn't choose Apple I'm obviously not doing so because
which is one brand of phone. It's absurd and elitist. And just because someone may spend more money on one product over another doesn't mean that product is superior.
I don't recall any high end android phones having any major defects with their antenna's or mapping capabilities.

Samsung Announces Enormous Phone Called Galaxy Mega""Somewhere at Samsung's sprawling campus deep in the headquarters of the mobile phone division there is a Powerpoint slide with a simple line graph.
It does not note that the marketing budget for Samsung's enormous phones is much larger than for the smaller phones.
It does not note that Samsung also typically reserves its best hardware for its large phones.
It does not note that Samsung no longer even makes flagship phones with screens smaller than about 4. 5 inches.
and has succeeded with a phone that's never had a larger screen than 4 inches.
Whenever a reviewer says phones like the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Mega which has either a 6. 3
when you use it to make phone calls you look like a child with his head down on a school desk that these phones represent the worst tendencies of Samsung a company with the creativity
And so Samsung continues on the path laid out by this graph blowing past the 6-inch mark with a phone that is larger than several gadgets called tablets.
This phone is over half a foot long. That is a fact with numbers. This phone has middling specs.
It's not even as fast in the oblique and increasingly useless list of numbers that constitute speed as the Galaxy S 4
Not that I'm a fan of the prospect of this phone but this was literally the worst written article
I had apple friends that talked about hacking the ipad mini to be a phone

but actual texting like phones do). If that were the case I would probably have an 8-10 device and like a 3-4 device.
Big phones are here to stay. Reviewers hated the Galaxy Note. Turns out they were completely wrong.
I personally agree that this phone is going to be a little too large. But these reviewers seem to have a vendetta of sorts trying to correct their previous massive blunder.
The phones are also amazing -and despite the plastic backing everyone complains about on the Galaxy S series it is a brilliant design b c it is lightweight cheap and replaceable
big phones sell! Long answer: don't think of this as phone. Think of it as the evolution of PC.

The only reason I bought a flagship 4. 7 phone is because it wasn't available in a 4. 3 size.
I'm torn between my dislike of enormous phones and my distaste for biased journalism...
I think the correct size for any phone is whatever is the biggest one you can hold with one hand.
and go ahead and admit we need fanny packs to be back in style for these larger phones.
That is why I love large screen phones. They give me a confidence that allows me to prosper.
Thank you big screen phones!!I remember when the first Galaxy Note came out. At the time it seemed similar in size to a Kindle...
so I felt that was a little big for a phone. I have an older Kindle Keyboard
and tried to imagine using it like a phone; the concept of possibly knocking myself out with it just because
) And now Samsung has an even bigger phone than that? Wow. But...I no longer hate the concept.
My phone has replaced pretty much my computer. And tablets while super cool? Just still seem too large

If your phone is off by half a block in a city that's okay;
