Interesting. Is Verizon TDMA or CDMA? I always get the 2 mixed up. (My Verizon phone didn't cause the interference, and my Cingular phone doesn't always do it.)

Verizon is CDMA. AT&T Wireless was TDMA before in went to GSM in 2002/2003.

Cingular is still operating the old ATT/Cingular Legacy TDMA network until 2008 though.

It could be both on the 850 and 1900 bands but I think the 850 band.. I 've always called it blowin it's the phone transmitting as the towers would cause it all of the time and I think the 850 frequency band does it more often but there isn't a way to switch most phones.. the reason why I beleive this is my n-gage is a triband phone and doesn't have 850 and it doesn't seem to have as good signal penetration in buildings and gets very little blowing into my headset(on the regular phones at work) and flipping my monitor at work if i'm connecting gprs or there is an inc call on it. also look in instruction book of phone at least nokia's will tell you on the dualband phones 850 1900 mhz one of them ususe 2 watts of power the other 1 watt of power and I can't remember which is which but the one that does 2 watts is probably the one that does it more you would think twice the power.

My old Nokia 8390 operated on 1900MHz and it always interfered with computer and radio speakers too. My Nokia 3100 and 3120's both operated on 850/1800/1900MHz and they both caused a lot of interference. My Samsung A707 is a quad-band phone and it causes the same amount of interference.
