For the past decade there have been studies surrounding the possible side effects of radiation caused by cell phones. Some say it is such a small amount that you get more radiation from the sun or a microwave oven, while others say it can cause cancer or brain tumors. Even though the FCC tests all devices to make sure they meet government SAR requirements before being released in the US, it may be years or decades until we know for sure if there is any ill effect caused from their prolonged use. One new report by the EWG (Environmental Working Group) has done the research for you by categorizing all the SAR info for each phone (as provided by the FCC and manufacture) so that consumers can easily see what radiation levels their current phone has, as well as lists of phone by providers and manufactures.
