Walliker, Mightylakers beat me to the punch I see... So, from the Kyocera link that he offered you can see the max power output of a typical CDMA phone. As John pointed out, this is the max. This means the maximum distance from the base station. As you get closer, the mobile decreases its power levels to a fraction of that. That's the beauty of CDMA. You gather that battery life is proportionally extended (a very understated advantage of CDMA). Now, i would like to offer the link to a typical GSM phone by NOK, where the power output is stated as : Output power Software controlled (max.) 1 W, dynamic output power control The link is: nokia.com Now, in your post you said: "GSM 900 handsets transmit a maximum average power of 1/4W while GSM 1800 and 1900 handsets transmit a maximum average power of 1/8W" "What is the maximum average power transmitted by CDMA handsets? The data sheets for the Qualcom chipsets suggest 0.6W. " Whereas Kyocera phones output 0.2W max. as you can see in the KYO (which used to be QCOM by the way) web site. In your post you listed numbers that vastly diverged that these company advertisements. May I ask where you picked your data from?
