Old cell phones have other uses 2007-10-09 03:02:00 By HELOISEAfter purchasing new cell phones, I really hated to toss my old ones, since they are still usable, just outdated. It didn't take me long to figure out how to recycle them. I keep one by my bedside, so if the weather is bad and there's a possibility of power failure, I set the alarm on my cell phone as a backup, just in case. No more worrying about being late for work.I also take along the phone while on vacation to use as an alarm clock. No more oversleeping.B.

Lost Cell Phone Sparks Airplane Bomb Scare 2007-10-09 02:56:00 by Tim StevensIn case you needed another reason not to forget your cell phone on a flight, we've got a good one for you. Last week a flight was grounded and evacuated at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after a passenger found an unclaimed cell phone in the pocket of the seat ahead of him. According to an AP report, the phone "appeared to have been taken apart, put back together and shoved into the seat." That was enough to raise the suspicions of the flight crew aboard the Alaska Airlines flight from San Jose. After the pilot was consulted, the plane was ordered to a taxiway in a deserted part of the airport and evacuated. Amazingly, The airport suffered only a 10-minute delay while the plane was searched by police and the FBI. No explosive devices turned up and the cell phone turned out to be just a cell phone.Perhaps fearing air-rage-induced bodily harm, no one has stepped forward yet to claim the offending handset.Link ...

No Cell Phone Use in Flights 2007-10-09 02:48:00 This is not unexpected, and I’m not sure that I don’t disagree with it. The US FAA has shelved any discussion on in flight mobile use for the “Foreseeable Future”. Stating that there was an outcry against mobile phone use meaning there were a lot of people with sense to know that we would be forced to listed to Mr. or Mrs. “I can’t hear so I will talk even louder to compensate” cell phone user. How many times has this happened in a restaurant or other public place where lack of desecration by a cell phone user made life very aggravating! Now picture this on a very tightly confined airplane! I would vote no also. I think WiFi in flight is a much better idea. However, it wouldn’t take long for some knuckle head to Skype. Instant Messaging or emailing from the flight should be sufficient to stay in touch with your work or business. Hopefully this can get accomplished in near future as a compromise.Aviation authorities in the United States have ruled out the use of mobile ... Cell Phone

Sajid’s cell phone blues 2007-10-09 02:34:00 Sajid (of Sajid-Wajid music duo) hasn’t been in the best of moods ever since he lost his cellphone a few weeks back. “My cell phone is much more than a phone for me. I store loads of music and photos in it,” says Sajid. “There are some 25 to 30 compositions which are yet to be polished in the phone. Among them are two songs from what I have composed for ‘Tom and Jerry’ (sequel to ‘Partner’),” he laments.But what’s troubling him the most is that with the phone, he has lost pictures of some very fond moments. “There are photographs of some people who are very close to me, like Salman, Zayed, Govinda and my family,” says Sajid.

Apart from all these the phone also has personal numbers of many Bollywood celebrities - if they fall into the wrong hands, it could spell trouble. Sajid believes he left the phone in an autorickshaw he took to go to his gym. ... Cell Phone

Long-term cell users risk brain tumour 2007-10-09 02:33:00 NEW DELHI: Chances of developing a brain tumour doubles for those who are hooked to their mobile phones. This has been found in a study conducted by Swedish scientists, which indicates that an hour a day on a mobile phone for a decade is enough to increase the risk. According to Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro and Professor Kjell Hansson Mild of Umea University, long-term mobile users had double the chance of getting a tumour on the side of the brain where they held the handset for over 10 years. The team called for special caution regarding children. They said children should be discouraged from using mobiles because their thinner skulls and developing nervous systems made them especially vulnerable. This finding could come as news for the Indian health ministry which has just embarked on the nation's first long-term government study looking at what excessive mobile phone use can do to people's health.

So first, let's start with a quick overview of the two main standard for cell networks:GSM: Short for Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM is the most widespread standard for cell phones networks in the world. If you're a jetsetter who likes keeping in touch during your far-flung travels, you should go with a GSM-enabled phone, and here in the U.S., AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM carriers. ...
