Blackberry Z10 SAR rating - Radiation Level
While probably SAR rating -radiation level- doesn't mean anything to most cell users, I believe it will become an important issue since we are all expose to radiation every time we use a cell phone and radiation, like it or not, may cause adverse health effects in humans.
If you want to read more about it here a brief wrote by CNET Cell phone radiation levels - CNET Reviews
plus you can fin tons of information in the internet.
Regarding Blackberry Z10 here 2 initial reports about it:
From tawkon.com
Blackberry Z10 Radiation Levels (SAR)
Here the hightlights of the report
"We see that the Blackberry Z10 has made some progress on lowering it's maximum radiation output, but with value of maximum specific absorption rate of 0.970 W/Kg, Blackberry is still on the higher end compared to nearly all popular phones on the market."
"The BlackBerry Z10 outputs a peak of 0.970 watts per kilogram (W/Kg), that�s worse than Google�s latest Nexus 4 smartphone, which clocks in at 0.550W/Kg, but not far off Apple�s iPhone 5, which peaks at 0.901 W/Kg."
"Out of the top ten "hot" phones, we found the Z10 to have the highest SAR value."
Another one from The Sociable
BlackBerry Z10 worse than iPhone 5 for peak cell phone radiation exposure - The Sociable
it is based on the report from tawkon.com but has more information
highlights
"tawkon has applied its industry standard cell phone radiation tracking test to RIM�s latest creation and found that while it�s better than its predecessors the Z10 is lagging behind the competition in terms of its peak radiation output."
"Worryingly, the phone�s SAR value increases to 1.5W/Kg when it�s being used as a wireless hotspot. The company reports that this measurement was taken �when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip. Which is something to be mindful of when tethering your phone."

Seriously, close forum registration for hte next week.
Didn't you get the memo? Apple and Google are part of the same secret organization, hellbent on the destruction if BlackBerry!

He warned the user rather than giving them the infraction they deserved. He was doing them a favour. If you have a problem with moderation, send the mods a PM. It's never constructive to derail threads to discuss moderation.

Your real world knowledge means nothing here, this is the internets!
