Well, never mind: "According to FCC radiation tests, the BlackBerry 8300 has a digital SAR rating of 1.51 watts per kilogram." - just saw that on CNET.

You've gotta be kidding me - 1.51? That's only .09 below the maximum allowed by law. That makes the 8300 the worst RIM handset yet in terms of brain-frying cabability.
