Recent advancements have made it possible for cell phone users to access internet on the go, update their status and locations over social networking websites.

In short they have been proved to be carcinogenic.

There are quite a few phones which emit minimal level but not negligible levels of radiation and there are those which emit the greatest.

It was mp3 compatible and also was able to play mpeg4 video. A greater battery life, bluetooth connectivity, price and mp3 compatibility are the advantages of this phone. The poor speaker quality and no camera set this phone back. Priced at $49.99 it is a value for money mobile. The SAR level for this phone is at 1.59 W/kg.
