Anyone know the sar rating on the new torch? Or maybe what government site displays their findings?
Rim's stuff has been on the high side lately (9700=1.55 which is almost at the limit).
Thx.

0.91 according to cnet.

List of Top Ten SAR Ratings

Sar Rating - The Ten Highest Radiating Cell Phones (US)

Torch rating of 0.91 would be way down the list. Good call asking. Didnt think to ask about it when I went to test it yesterday.

Just in case anyone was wondering what SAR was. RIM and Apple are missing from the US listing.

The i4 has a SAR rating of 0.974.

honestly,(just curious) why do people care about this so much? is it going to make or break your decision to by it?

Cool thing about Apple is that in their user manual, they give you the detailed results. For example, they'll say-- sar to head on 1900mhz=??? Sar to body on 1900mhz=??? and so on. My fav phone is my 9700 but DAMN I could swear it makes me radioactive LOL.
Anyhow. I'm super glad to hear that the 9800 is under 1.0.
I'd get it regardless-- the low-ish sar is just a bonus.
BTW-- can i call you Bond? :-)

You make me want to cry.

Since when does radiation make you radioactive?
