We’re not sure about whether cell radiation is actually something that users should concern themselves with, and there are plenty of ways to avoid any potential risk. One such way is to remember the inverse square law. By communicating more through email, SMS and BBM, you avoid having the device close to your head.

With the launch of the BlackBerry Torch from AT&T, consumers finally have their hands on BlackBerry 6 and we thought now a good time to publish an in-depth look at the new OS. If you’re a long time BlackBerry user, this OS will be very intuitive. BlackBerry 6 isn’t an entirely new experience, but rather a greatly improved experience over OS 5 with some new bells and whistles. Just like the Torch motto, BlackBerry 6 is “Less an evolutionary leap, more like a triple axel.”
The new BlackBerry 6 has several new features that make the BlackBerry experience faster, more streamlined and generally more fun. These new features can be grouped into the following categories:
The Classic Zen Today Slider theme by BerryGoodThemes features OS 6 icons and a clean homescreen layout. The layout means that you have a big, wallpaper friendly background as well as the Today preview items have ample room and are easy to read. For those who have a BlackBerry that may not get OS 6, at least the icons provide some clean themes.
