I've been thinking of getting a Motorola Pebl, but I've heard mixed stories about its ability to demagnetize things, like credit cards and harddrives(?). But others say it's just a myth, and that it only takes a super strong magnet to do that.
Anyone have experience with that, or Pebls in general?

My debit card has been de-magnetized two times, and I always keep my iPhone right next to it.
My bank even told me that it must have been my phone, and I don't have it near any other magnets, so I think maybe it is true that phones can de-magnetize cards. =/ |
