if a CDMA phone were in JUST CDMA, then the SAR is ALOT lower than the gsm modes. but the ones that are listed as higher SAR are almost always dual mode phones which have analog, which stays at 200 mW peak all the time and almost all SAR realted isues are in that mode.

CDMA avg transmit power across the entire cell is 2 mW average. GSM is more like 100 mW average, and analog more like 200mW.

Apples and oranges comparisons for technically not informed people isn;t a good way to prove a point.

Eric. If bullfrogs had wings, they could fly. The point is that the CDMA system does allow designers to develop phones which, in a similar duty cycle, emit much lower average RF than do GPRS phones.
