In some ways I agree... but, do you carry a pager? Maybe a PDA? An electronic watch? A walkman or portable radio with earphones? You're already doomed.... ;-) One of the nice things about CDMA transmissions, are that they require a lot less power than other equivalent digital transmission technologies, are bursty in nature, and more closely resemble noise transmissions than anything else. There was a running joke on one of the QCOM threads a while back after the 20/20 low blow piece on cell phones an cancer a week or two ago. They only used analog phones (ugh), and only certain models. No digital phones were used, probably because it wouldn't have looked as SCARY! At the same time, there was a news item about the EDGE system upgrades for GSM operators (a 2.5G technology) and the problems they are having with heat generation. The running joke was that if you had an EDGE handset and got lost in the wild, it could double as a cookstove for any small animals you were able to capture. Just set it to broil (i.e autoredial)... Just remember, the amount of energy transmitted decreases in a non-linear fashion the farther away from a point in space, and digital handsets are orders of magnitude less power hungry than analog. And ignore those high voltage electrical power lines that go across your back yard... ;-) DWB
