the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value.

In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC, IC and The Council of the European Union for each model. The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below: Device BlackBerry® 8800 smartphone 1 g / 10 g SAR (W/kg) 1.16 / 0.91 The highest reported SAR value for this BlackBerry device when clipped on a belt, in a Research In Motion (RIM) approved holster equipped with an integrated belt clip, is outlined below.
