Washington, D.C. - Motorola’s Droid, Blackberry Bold 9700, LG Chocolate Touch and HTC Nexus One by Google, hyped as the latest and greatest smart phones for the 2010 upgrade season, receive high marks from tech experts for performance and features.
The flashy ads and expert rating don't disclose that these new models are also some of the highest radiation emitters among the phones currently on the market. EWG has found that all four phones’ emissions are pushing the edge of radiofrequency radiation safety limits set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Recent studies suggest increased risk for brain tumors among people who have used cell phones for at least 10 years.
But 2010's offerings aren't all bad news. Three new phones - Motorola Brute, Pantech Impact and Samsung Mythic - emit significantly less radiation.
