HI all,

I'm concered about the potential health effects of mobile phones.

I therefore want to buy a new phone into which I can put my existing SIM card.


I'm looking for the lowest SAR value among mobile phones availble in the UK and for a reasonable price.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Excuse my ignorance, but what is SAR?

    Silly question - basically if you use a mobile phone you will eventually die - it fries your brain cells and gives you cancer - but does that mean I won't use it - hell no - i've been cellying since my big massive mobile phone days, to the star tac, to the star tac v, then the nk 402 etc.
