Is there truly a health issue? Who cares. The fourth estate will render that point moot.

The fourth estate will have no idea what numbers they are actually looking for. The general spirit of ALL of the EMC standards revolves around testing the worst case mode under which the product will actually be used. There is wide latitude given to the engineer to determine what the setup for the product will be. Unless manufacturers are forced to (by a particular standard), they will likely test the handset in GSM mode for the SAR data. This is would be within both the legality and the spirit of the standards.

I think that an application that involves transmitting data while the phone is next to your head would have to be prevalent before the phone was tested next to your head. JMO....but I did work as an EMC engineer for a couple of years.

EDIT....EMC Engineer-Electro-Magnetic Compatability...the guys who make sure that your CD player doesnt interfere with your TV (or do SAR testing).
