Anyone read about this being radiation free/reduced? I've been searching google to no avail. Other phones advertise R.Free so I have think this isn't.

Since I primarily bought this as a wireless speaker for music content on my phone (especially when in the shower), I wasn't concerned about radiation, and unfortunately don't have the answer to your question. However, even when you answer a call from a linked cellphone, it's not necessary to switch on the privacy feature and put the handset to your ear. You can simply use it as a speakerphone and avoid any risk you're concerned about.

is it Factory Unlocked?YES. Just Samsung logo on start?YES. does it work on any Gsm Carrier on the world? Will, almost all frequences. I think 2100 (or 2600) is not suportes. Please read the product description. what else is on the box?Well, as I remember, the smartphone, battery, manual, recharger.

You can check on their website, but I haven't found anything yet. It sounds like it'll be better to root the unit and add roms to improve performance. I'm still looking into that though. There's not a lot of info about this company or their products anywhere.

I am curious myself; went to Viva's website, as well as doing a google search, but found nothing. They have a phone #: 800-921-8482. I have yet to call, but have been using the product for over a year with positive results. (My biggest concern for "anything" coming out of Hawaii is radiation from Fukushima. I live in CA--the Bay area--and have, sadly, stopped eating local seafood. The media here gives zero radiation info. Also, UC Berkeley stopped posting air/water radiation levels just one month after the tsunami. They had been posting their readings for over 20 years...and suddenly stopped.)

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that for sure. I used it in sunlight and saw positive gains, and left it plugged in without sunlight and it didn't seem like the phone drained any faster than with normal use. I can't say that I paid close enough attention.

I wear TWO hearing aids and wit THIS phone, I don't have to wear ether!!!! It is indeed static free, there is a light that comes on on top of the handset when a message has been left as well as a loud ringer when someone calls, also, when the phone does ring it flashes white on the phones' BG....

As it is certified Organic, I would imagine it isn't irradiated either. But why not just ask Starwest directly? Their number is: 1-800-800-4372.

I always have liked Motorola Razr BUT so far with this unlocked phone (using ATT/Cingular) I have not been able to receive any pictures sent to me. Is anyone else having the same trouble? I have a data plan and yet it says Network Not Available even though I know I am near a network tower.

The handset has a Li-Ion battery. I've never run down the battery to the point that I must re-charge. I surmise that it will last at least several hours like a mobile phone. Otherwise the numbers and loudness is great when using the phone. The only problem that bothered me was the ringer volume was weaker than I had expected. Being an engineer that I am, I felt that Uniden dropped the ball on this part of the design. The light works, but even then it's not like a bright flash like a strobe light to really catch your attention. Like the other person who commented, you can leave it off the cradle for a day or 2 and it should be fine. The handset has a Li-Ion battery.

Hi, I didn't keep this phone because I found another one I liked better, but as best as I can remember it was text only. I noticed someone else had asked this question about the phone and the answer was also that it was just text only. I hope that helps!

Newegg has the same phone, known as the "Huawei IDEOS U8150". The only difference is that no telco touched it, so it doesn't have a T-mobile sticker, or any form of carrier lockout. After you lose the T-Mobile subsidy, the price comes out to $8 less. Strange things happening in the cell market, nowadays.Edit: found out why - it was a SECRET refurb! Newegg never said so on their listing, sneaky guys.

It definitely works with my iPhone 5. I recently gave my sister one for her birthday, for her iPhone 4. The only thing I notice when we are both using ours, is an echo of what I say. My sister notices the same thing. If one of us detaches our handset, it goes away. It's no huge issue, compared to the radiation reduction benefit. I LOVE my handset. Holding my phone on my shoulder with no discomfort is also a huge plus. I highly recommend it.

Hi Gourd, You are so awesome! Thank you so very much for testing it for me. I appreciated it very much. It is fantastic to know that the phone can surf the web FREE. So, what is the data plan if I already can log into wifi network and surf the web FREE?

I am pretty sure that cell phones operate on microwaves. These detectors are looking for the simplest form of radio waves. The cell phone signals are also scrambled.. I am not sure if that would change anything.

The razrM is different from both of those. Go to a cell phone service providers site and compare phones. I'm sure all 3 are different sizes.
