Unboxed: HTC Touch & Going Behind The Buzz

Here's an unboxing video of the HTC Touch.

Have you ever wondered why your mobile causes speakers to buzz? There's a scientific explanation to it that I didn't bother to look up until now. The funny thing is that some phones are more annoying than others. Here's an explanation from Duncan Bradley, Research In Motion's (RIM) director of global market intelligence:

Bradley explained to me that cell phones cause this buzzing interference when near some speakers or other devices that can resonate radio frequencies (RF) because such devices often feature poor quality shielding mechanisms to block radio waves from being received. The devices act as passive antennas, picking up cell phone radio signals, but they don't have any way to modulate or translate them into anything intelligible, according to Bradley. Speakers or other electronics with higher quality shielding mechanisms yield less buzzing when near phones, he said.
