The health effects of cell phone radiation is a growing concern which is why many cell phone users have been consulting a Cell Phone Radiation Guideto figure out which phones let them keep talking and texting while limiting radiation as much as possible. That report was put together by Environmental Working Group last September and this year, the environmental health nonprofit has come out with an update to cover the new, most-popular cell phones of 2010.

THE BAD NEWS
Some of the most-hyped phones that tech experts have raved about give off quite a bit of radiation...
Motorola’sDroid,
BlackberryBold9700

are among the flashy phones to avoid because all four are pushing the edge of radiofrequency radiation safety limits set by the Federal Communications Commission, according to EWG.
