So I noticed an interesting post on Engadget comparing radiation levels of many popular cellphones during active use (ie, connected to the cell network and actively transmitting and receiving). My phone, the
UTStarcom Super Slice, is on the high side at 1.47W/KG when held to one's ear. How do your phones stack up?

My phone, a Samsung A737, is on the high end too, at 0.43 - 1.28 W/kg
Thankfully, I don't really use it much.
My phone (the LG 600G) posted a score of 0.96 W/kg, but again, the phone sees very little use.
Blackjack II, my phone seems to vary depending on what cell tower it connects to o.0

Indeed, it has a lot of modes. O_o Fascinating.
Pantech PN-820, which is not on the list
Doesn't get much use anyway so I don't worry much.
Why include about 1/5 of the list if they're "n/a" ?

Nokia 6500 Slide: 0.95 W/kg
I can't remember the last time I held it to my ear, though; I only really use it for work, which (being a programmer) involves interaction with a PC and I'm not well coordinated enough to operate a mouse and keyboard with one hand. Hands free kits are a lifesaver.
Heres mine [url=http://www.ewg.org/cellphoneradiation/Get-a-Safer-Phone/LG/Chocolate+3+(VX8560)/]Chocolate[/url] it comes in at 1.26 W/kg.
but there are no proven ill effects of cell phone radiation.
My phone (Samsung Alias (SCH-u740)) is fairly low at 0.68 W/kg but it doesn't get that good of reception sometimes, it is often at less bars than my moms phone on the same carrier within a few feet of one another.
My cell phones are glued to both ears. And I'm not talking about bluetooth headsets.

Hardcore.
In Belgium (where I live, that small spot on the West-European coast), a company tried to launch an "anti cellphone radiation chip". It couldn't even work...

rubber band > glue
I have the
Palm Treo 800W @ 1.43 W/kg
Not that you'll actually see any damage until exposure of like 2-3 hours at 100+ W/kg, but hey, nothing like some good ol' fear mongering!
