source here Here is some more interesting info about cell phones kept in pockets. + Show Spoiler + actual warnings from a sample of user manuals that were packaged with phones other than BlackBerrys. Here’s what I found: * Apple iPhone - “For body-worn operation, iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8th inch) from the body….for body-worn operation, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8th inch) away from the body.” * LG Shine (AT&T) - “To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.” * Samsung SGH-a737 (AT&T) - “For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.” * Motorola E815 (Verizon) - “If you wear the mobile device on your body, always place the mobile device in a Motorola-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case or body harness. If you do not use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by Motorola, keep the mobile device and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting.” * LG VX8350 (Verizon) - “This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted.” | ||

Frankly, everything is linked to cancer nowadays, and phone companies are required to put those kind of warnings into their manuals to protect themselves from lawsuits, because they know nobody keeps their phone an inch away from their body. It wouldn't surprise me if it contributed to cancer, but so does everything else, including the fucking sun. I'm not concerned. | ||

You don't want the screen out and then bump into a corner of a table or something. I have an iphone. | ||

I have a nokia phone. Before I place it in my pocket, I enabled the key lock with the thumb of my right hand (my "text thumb"). From that position, the most efficient way to place it in my pocket is with the screen facing inside. The other way seems like a waste  When working at your desk, do you guys leave the phone in your pocket? Lately I always take it out of my pocket...

I strongly feel that the emission problems on cell phones were overhyped in the media, but one does not gamble with his balls. EDIT2: And it's more comfy as well as less akward to pickup the phone. Because it's on vibrate when I'm at work, every time I get a call it looks like I'm doing some serious ball-scratching first. Having it on the desk avoids that whole situation. | ||

It's in my pocket so when I grab it, I immediately have it in the right position to answer a call. It also protects the screen from damage when I walk into table corners with my hip. Lifehacks for the win? | ||
