While debates about the effect of cell phone radiation continue to rage, we are pretty confident that no company is thrilled to secure a place on the top list of phones with high radiation levels. The following list was recently compiled by Cnet ranking phones according to their Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values:

1) Motorola Slvr L6 - 1.58
2a) Motorola V120c - 1.55
2b) Motorola V265 - 1.55
4) Motorola V70 - 1.54
5a) Motorola C290 - 1.53
5b) Motorola P8767 - 1.53
5c) Motorola ST7868 - 1.53
5d) Motorola ST7868W - 1.53
9a) Motorola A845 - 1.51
9b) Palm Treo 650 GSM - 1.51
9c) Panasonic Allure - 1.51

The FCC defines the SAR as "a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg)."
