Re: N900 Thickness

That depends on butt size.

Am I thick or has this thread gone off course:D

I keep my phone in an anti-radiation case, while using my headphones :-) tyvm

Surely if that worked you wouldn't get a signal as it would need to be designed on a per-phone basis according to where the device has its antenna.

Also, who in their right mind keeps their phone in their back pocket? That is asking for it to be either nicked or you will (sooner or later) forget and sit on it.

I must admit I prefer to keep mine in my inside coat pocket but mostly use it for short bursts without headphones. I do not like the fact that means its near my chest but its safer all around. I tend to put it in my pocket with the screen facing my chest figuring the antenna is on the back so its then optimum reception and pointing away from me. (they do design these things to transfer less radiation towards your head theoretically) That also does bring us on topic as quite probably yes, the thicker the device the less radiation is escaping out of the front of it. Although you will still be cooking your hands when you hold it. :p

Re: N900 Thickness

Yeah, I don't really belive the anti-radiation case could work either. The radiation is the signal. I.e. eletromagnetic radiation.

Quote:

Electromagnetic radiation (often abbreviated E-M radiation or EMR) is a ubiquitous phenomenon that takes the form of self-propagating waves in a vacuum or in matter. It consists of electric and magnetic field components which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. Electromagnetic radiation is classified into several types according to the frequency of its wave; these types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays. A small and somewhat variable window of frequencies is sensed by the eyes of various organisms; this is what we call the visible spectrum, or light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

If the case kept the "radiation"/signal from "getting out" then your cell phone wouldn't work. It wouldn't be able to communicate with the tower. And it couldn't just block the signal one way either. It would block the incoming signal too. So you'd have no reception at all. Perhaps somehow the antenna could be left unblocked, as Alan Atkin UK suggests, but that would mean as he says that the case would have to be custom designed for the specific phone model and it's antenna position. And it seems to me that would also defeat the purpose of the case (once the signal gets out, you're getting irradiated).

Re: N900 Thickness

I find it reassuring that God won't be killed by the radiation from His cellphone.

Blooming heck!!!! Now people are tweeting that n900 causes cancer!!! For crying out loud, will you people watch what you say? n900 uses the SAME SYSTEM as any other phone!!!!

Actually, that really would give radiation protection for the head. As for the casing, as Alex very well pointed out, it simply can't work. The laws of physics don't allow it to. But then again, we are talking about God here...
Kathy, most people will be scared idiots whenever they have the opportunity. Just let them be, or better yet, have a laugh at them (no god, that's not related to you ;) )

They're probably listening to us through the powerpoint holes in the walls...

(Should that be a lead helmet, rather than aluminium? Just for real safety. Though it might weight a bit...)

Re: N900 Thickness

I'm wondering why God would fear some minor waves... I am just human and I could not give a **** about them.

Re: N900 Thickness

I normally have my collection of cellphones always near to my balls. It's way safer and also cheaper than contraception, and it makes me look quite potent, which I am not.
