Satio has topped a table of handsets emitting the most radiation in the UK. In fact Sony Ericsson has 4 handsets in the table, which lists Britain’s 10 handsets producing the most radiation. The table was featured in an article highlighting the possible dangers of mobile phone radiation, especially with regards to children, many of whom may have received a new mobile phone as a Christmas present.

The article quoted Olga Naidenko of pressure group ‘Environmental Working Group’ as saying “A lot of new-generation mobiles are pushing it to the limit”. The thing is though, for every study that claims to establish some link between mobiles and cancer etc another one comes along claiming just the opposite. Having said that, the image of a product spouting radiation isn’t exactly a selling point and no doubt Sony Ericsson will be kene to downplay this. The full table is listed below.

1. Sony Ericsson Satio 1.5W/kg
2. Blackberry Bold 9700 1.36W/kg
3. Nokia E71 1.33W/kg
4. HTC Hero 1.21W/kg
5. Sony Ericsson W995 1.18W/kg
6. Blackberry Curve 8520 1.02W/kg
7. Sony Ericsson W595 1.00W/kg
8. Nokia 5800 0.97W/kg
9. LG Cookie 0.94W/kg
10. Sony Ericsson T715 0.90W/kg
