For example even the fanciest smartphone now has a lower SAR rating than a dumbphone like the Ericsson T28 had (SAR of 1.49) without any 3G or anything.
And old school smartphones like the Kyocera QCP-6035 also put out heavy numbers (1.41).
So unless you're going out of your way to get a MyTouch most of the newer smartphones have much lower numbers.
Of course it's only really long term that you'll know whether these really mattered.]]>Sep 27th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/
When the signal strength is lowest, the phones have to output more EM radiation.
When signal strength is highest, they output less.

I'm not worried about it honestly.

#1 its non-ionizing radiowaves. You have a higher chance of getting cancer walking around in the Sun.

#2 no matter how well I take care of myself, I'm still going to get very sick and die - and that's if I manage to not be the 1 person in 1000000 to get into a car accident today, or 1 in a billion to get struck by lightning (its raining here right now)

The electromagnetic charge tripped out his phone, and caused huge amounts of radiation to seer into his nether reigions..

Hence fourth he is now known as Penis-Man

Watch, as he flys about the city in Spandex shooting err web... to cling onto buildings.

*Penis man, penis man, does whatever a penis man does.. watch him swing from his *bleep*... lookout.. he's a penis man...*

Legal Notice: To Disney (Since you ate marvel..) if you want to make a spin-off series called penis man.. I'd like a small cut.. :)

also, as the comments point out, the level isn't the only issue, the type of radiation matters as well. but i didn't see them grouping by that issue.

and there is also the issue that many of these devices were designed to be kept in the pocket or hand rather than going up to your face all the time. case in point, my iphone. sold on the point that i can have it in ipod mode and simply put it out of my pocket and slide a 'button' to answer that call without removing the headphones cause they have the mike on the wire. and with the right headphones I don't even have to take it out of my pocket (unless I want to know my boss is calling when i'm supposed to be home sick and not at the mall shopping)]]>Sep 27th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/Sep 27th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/Sep 27th 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/27/website-rates-best-and-worst-cellphones-by-radiation-output-leve/
