Radiation levels published for three BlackBerry models

CNET.com has published a compilation of cell phone radiation levels, as cited by the FCC.

The levels are expressed in  SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate. SAR is a way of measuring the quantity of radio frequency energy that passes through the body.

If a cell phone has rate higher than 1.6 watts per kilogram, it won't pass FCC muster.

The  Motorola Slvr L6 barely makes the grade at 1.58, watts per kilogram, the worst ranking.

The best ranking is Audiovox PPC66001, with only 0.12 WPG.

The three rated BlackBerrys came out in the middle of the pack.

BlackBerry 7100g was rated at 0.86. The BlackBerry 7250 and BlackBerry 7750 each scored 1.27.
