Eric. Re: Parthus. In all honesty, I was hot famliliar with Parthus prior to the referenced GPRS quotes. I think the question is what does MOT think about GPRS. If you recall, MOT set a low upper limit on the transmission rates (and thus power use) of their new GPRS phones and then ordered one of their US technical managers not to discuss the reasons for this action. Clearly they see some problem, but have clammed up rather than discuss it. JohnG

I would think that the increased power consumption and multiple channel transmission would increase emissions correspondingly?"The emissions cause the skin to disinegrate burning off the external ear after one week of use, necrosis of the middle ear canal then occurs after two weeks of use, followed by complete breech of the carotid artery wall causing massive hemmorage and death in the third week of usage.The positive in all of this is that when the deceased is creamated there is some savings due to the already disinergraded side of the body.
