Does this have anything to do with why I have to turn my computer speakers off anytime I talk on my Treo?

I've been reading the 77 page report on the radiation testing. I found it interesting how much the aluminum hard cases reduced the SAR levels:

Phones that transmit at 850MHz cause a buzzing sound in speakers.

GSM phones make speakers buzz because the phones pulse their radios on then off at their time slot(s). Those pulses occur at audio frequency.

LOL, that's something treatz would say

and yeah it is 850 causing the buzz
once i went without 850 it stopped again.

Hmmmm... then according to you my SE T200 is Quadband phone!?

All GSM phones are doing this buzz thing.

That explains that dull ache I get everytime I talk on the phone....

Oh wait, maybe that's just my wife yelling at me for buying yet another tech toy!!!

Hehe, that is funny, hofo_mofo. BTW, did you get your Treo 650 yet? How do you like it? I am still using my Treo 600 alternating with BB7100r....will probably get a Treo 650 once bugs are ironed out.
