Nokia N95 is among
the lowest
radiation Cell Phones out there!
 According to the study over at cNet, the Nokia N95 is one of the lowest radiation Cell Phones out there.
Anecdotal stories abound that relate microwave radiation from cell phones and base stations to a variety of illnesses and anomalies. However, in spite of the growing body of research and unsuccessful litigation alleging a causal link between phones and cancer, there is no clear evidence that cell phones cause cancer or that they do not.
Anyway, CNET’s Quick guide has a list of the ten highest radiation cell phones and the ten lowest radiation cell phones.
Of course, the radiation level is expressed in SAR, Specific Absorption Rate and it is nice to know that one of the best “nonqwerty” smartphones at he moment is positioned among the top 10 lowest radiation phones.
Also, based on my personal experience with Nokia N95, this lower emission levels isn’t in direct correlation with reception quality because I can clearly say that phone’s reception is quite good in general and I can’t complain about the signal strength overall.
Anyway, if you are not one of those lucky N95 owners you should at least protect your important parts ;)))
 Speaking of the SAR, the FCC, much more stringently defines terminology when part of a safety standard. Mobile phones basically are radio sets that have a relatively large separation between the apparatus close to an operator and the remotely located antenna.
Portable phones are the very small analog or digital devices you hold close to your head to use.
Because of the proximity of the antenna to a user’s head, there is widespread concern about safe RF exposure levels and their measurement.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a reliable measure of its ability to cause cell damage and is a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body. The US FCC mandates a Maximum SAR level of 1.6 W/kg for a phone.
