I watched this video on Yahoo; interesting, heads up, don't hold it in your pocket;

My phone is #1

and I thought those bumps on my face were from sleeping on a dirty pillow. 

well, they can write on my grave "He got three days use with one charge".

Another good reason to keep my Samsung all of which seem to be in the lower scale.

It wouldn't matter anyway as practically no one calls me.

So reversely most likely all those 'bad radiating' phones are the ones that are going to give you the best reception in a bad signal area.

Not necessarily.  EM emissions can cause worse reception.  It never improves reception.

I'm pretty sure it's not EMI in the traditional sense but the strength of the output signal of the phone they're measuring.

[GScholz]

There has never been established any link between mobile phone emissions and cancer. In any case the puny emissions from your phone is insignificant compared to all the base stations, and they are everywhere. Even if you throw away your phone you're being radiated, unless you live in the wilderness where there is no reception.

I'm pretty sure it's not EMI in the traditional sense but the strength of the output signal of the phone they're measuring.

It is not the transmission signal that is a problem.  That is not what they are measuring.  Transmission wattage is something that does not need to be measured.  It is fixed based on the transmitter being used by the device.

All transmission/reception devices emit EM, above and beyond what they designed to do.  How well that EM is controlled goes to the shielding of the device.

Whether the cell phone emissions are damaging to human cell tissue, or not, is the controversy.

Radiation does not exist, therefore, it cannot hurt you!

They put in an informational list of IPhones because of popularity. Mine is the 3G. It's SAR is more than #19 and 20 on the highest list Government study for ya.

I'm going to take the radiation risk and switch to iPhone next month:  they are adding Flir  thermal imaging camera  on next iPhone 6, : this Flir cameras  are expensive , now they add this technology on 350$ phone;  I rented one from Home Depot to find exhaust leak on my truck emission system. This is cool gadget to have ,with many applications.

[guncrasher]

whatever you do dont buy the Kyocera Hydro XTRM.  it was the worst reception ever.  it claims that it can go up to 3 feet of water and that's probably true.

problem is that you always sound like you are under 3 feet of water.

  I just went from a smart phone back to a flip phone. I hate the one I had, its like carrying a tablet around. I need a good cell phone, not a mini pc that pretends to be a phone sometimes.

No the FLIR case is an addon that works on iphone 5 and above. I've already preordered one.

My phone is #1 too. Oh well fortunately I make very few calls. It is primarily my modem as I tether it to my 'puter. I probably average less than 30 minutes of actual phone use in a month.
