GSM Phones Mess Up iPods?
Saw this today. Anyone ever experience it? :
Meanwhile, the analyst acknowledged there may be a minor radio frequency interference problem with Apple's latest iPods where the players will go "crazy" when placed very close to a ringing GSM cell phone.
However, Wu believes concerns over the issue may be overblown:
"From our checks, it appears to impact GSM and not CDMA phones and only on Nanos and video iPods," Wu said. "When a ringing GSM phone is directly in front of the clickwheel, the iPod could go 'crazy' and its volume could fluctuate uncontrollably (reminds us of R2D2 when shot by a laser gun)."

i ahve had a very similar experience
i was in school and our loud speaker just started buzzing un comtorllably for 3 minutes.
and whenever im over my friends house and she gets a call her tv starts to buzz and so will her stereo, she has a cingular gsm phone.
turns out when gsm phone update their roaming capabilities, they dont have to do it maunally like cdma users, the phone will automatically do it once every couple of days.
but i've yet to expeirience it on my nano
