According to the BBerry Tour 9630 manual, highest ear levels are:

1 g : 1.43 W/kg
10 g : 1.72 W/kg

RIM did it again..another record for the highest levels of radiation in industry. Wanted to get this phone instead of the new Palm Pre. I am not thrilled with this.

Ouch, wish you hadn't pointed this out. Meaning, I wish this wasn't the case.

Yup, nobody cares. But maybe some should be..

How does the SAR on the Tour compare to the Bold?

Werent there supposed to be people cruising around with giant tumors on their heads from the literature they used to hand out in phone boxes?

[supermike437433]

The biggest disappointment about this phone is the high SAR rating. Too bad.

[blackberrytony1]

wait i dont understand what is SAR y is it bad

It is the level of radiation given off by the phone. Its measured in both an idle state, and while in use.

Best thing is to just google it for more info. The higher the number, the more given off.

Who cares? Honestly. Thanks for the waste of space.

I've also posted on another thread, those numbers are just peaks. Check out the average

You could have the phone to your ear 24 hrs a day and that wouldn't be enough to hurt you

Watts / kg??? What is the kg representative of?

WOW, rude much. He was just giving some new info, your post was more of a waste of space.

Some people do care about there long term health. Will this ever amount to anything, probably not. But there are people who take these things very seriously and it is every bit their right to do so. That said with the abundance of bluetooth headsets and hands free car kits I see it being of less concern.

[BBZAX]

I DO care about this, but I will still buy the Tour. However, I will actually use a wired (not bluetooth) headpiece as often as I can IF I expect to to make relatively long calls.

That's not that bad. FCC regulation max is 1.6W/kg in a 1g sample and there are plenty of devices out there close to the max. In the EU, the max is 2.0W/kg in a 10g sample. Again, many devices out there higher than the 1.43/1.72 SAR for the Tour.

My 8330 is 1.54 SAR, and my head isn't glowing yet.

[cyberderf]

I am just commenting on the really high sar levels output from the 9630. Interpret it the way you like.

But everybody knows FCC is making all sort of tests and regulating this out just for fun. Some countries also force providers to indicate SAR levels on all phone advertisement. Probably for fun too.

Interesting. What are they?

[radioguinea]

Seeing as your new to the site, and LOTS of people do care about their health and what this number means, I dont think this is a good way to represent yourself.
