We do sometimes. It's just that it's an old phone and many of us have new phones, except for me. What do you want to talk about?
I loved my Galaxy Nexus. She was my constant companion. But the Note 3 took her place, and she will go into permanent retirement when the Note 4 gets released. My previous phone is always in ready reserve in case this one dies and I need a fallback
Harmless.
Big difference between ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
G3 is the latest, M8 is the greatest.

But Early, I'm trying to rationalize an upgrade :-D Help a brother out.
I love this place... having an upgrade to spend. Evaluating phones, leaks and gossip. It's Phone-porn to me. When I've had the phone for week, sometimes the thrill is gone. It's like looking forward to our Disney World vacations. The time leading up the vacation waiting is a better than having only one day left to the vacation. The thrill is gone. I like the thrill.
I actually THIS time NOT having the new phone BETTER than HAVING it. I know. I'm twisted. Don't encourage me by responding positively. I need help.

The M8 not only looks and sounds better than anything else out there, it actually ABSORBS harmful radiation.
NASA is probably going to make them standard issue for astronauts.
It's *that* good.
You need to get one before they run out!

There's a recent Cnet video of the top 5 smartphones with the highest levels. The Droids were big offenders.
Non-ionizing radiation (from a radio source, for example) is minimal in modern cell phones. You won't grow horns or anything if you talk with your phone to your ear if you use it normally. You would have to duct tape the thing to your head to even enter the remote possibility of FUTURE tumors or other tissue disruption.
Ionizing radiation (from a radioactive source like uranium) doesn't exist in cell phones. So your kids won't be born with three eyes if you keep your phone in your pocket.
Unless, of course, you and your wife both have three eyes

Too late. Mine's duct taped. I already had my children before the cellphone era and yes, they have three eyes. So, that disproves your ignorant points.

Didn't your obstetrician warn you not to use the Force during pregnancy? :vroam:
MY obstetrician? You mean my wife's right? RIGHT? Oh, you mean using the force on my wife... hmm.. never seemed to work on her. Only the simple minded. It works on me.
These are not the...
Oh never mind.
Oh never mind.

I had a huge problem.
One of my prized possessions, a movie poster I acquired in 1984, was rolled up in a protective tube for 30 years. But it hadn't started life rolled: rather, it was folded at the printers for mail-out to theaters nationwide.
Problem was that every time I unrolled the poster to view and admire it, the creases from the folds would be stressed. After 30 years the creases, particularly the top one, had become so brittle that I was genuinely afraid that the poster would split into pieces, rendering it worthless.
I took it to my local frame shop and explained the situation to Sheila the proprietor. She said she was hesitant to work on such a delicate piece without help. Whatever it took to save it, I told her, do it. I got a signature of receipt, and explained that if it tore I would file an insurance claim.
She sent the poster, still in the tube, to a specialist in Nashville who CAREFULLY flattened out the poster and vacuum sealed it in glass using a highly specialized process. Once vacuum sealed, it went back to Sheila, who literally built the frame around the poster with spacers to stand the frame off the glass to reduce stress on it. I got the call today that it was ready... and she had put it in plastic so it wouldn't get rained on.
So my precious artifact is now permanently protected from the elements and in a nice, contemporary frame, to be enjoyed by all for (I hope) many decades to come.
