Just sat my cellphone down on a desk, strangely enough, 4 paperclips suctioned right to it.... lovely...

Seems to be at the back of the built-in antenna...

How bad is yours?

hmmm, should i be worried then? :)

if i hold a paperclip in one hand and move the phone near, it moves the paperclip. Noticable field going on here.

Probably just a speaker magnet.

Give it an MRI if you want to see something funny. :evil:

Does the magnet have anything to do with CRT monitor distortion and telephone (regular) distortion during phone calls/rings??
