I've been searching for a phone for my brother and while searching around the net I bumped into the SAR levels information of the Excalibur.
It's definitely high, and I was wondering if that worry any of you and if it should worry me. I pretty much noticed a lot of HTC mobiles SARs are high. Maybe I should get a Bluetooth headset.

My second question concerns buying a new phone. I really like the Excalibur and considering maybe just buying another one but the HTC Juno/Shadow sort of interests me. It's almost the same like the Excalibur but looks cooler and has a 2MP camera. But its SAR is even higher than the Excalibur! What do you think? Should I get another Excalibur or the Shadow?

SAR = "Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field."
Something alot of us wouldn't put into the equation when buying a phone, can understand why but @ same time i always worry about crossing the road "not just because of them big buses but the Carbon monoxide intake" :D;)

In my country you have other issues to worry about LoL...the more your car or bus throws smoke to the air...the coolest :D

Just for your reference here are more HTC phone SAR levels http://sarvalue.blogspot.com/search/label/HTC. So you can search 3 or 4 phones that can really be "better" than my beloved dash (as a device...and also as far as SAR level I assume). ;)
