iPhone 4 SAR rating

Does anyone know what the SAR rating is with the new iPhone 4? I'm curious because the metal frame edge is the antenna which you must hold and contact.

iPhone 3Gs, iPhone OS 3.1.3

What I was satirizing is anyone saying that the SARS level of any present cell phone can be construed to be high, low or indifferent. What does a level of 1.17 say? Brain cancer in 25 years? 2 years, 445 years?

As Tamara already pointed out if you use a microwave oven, have WiFi, use cordless phones, etc. you are getting far, far more exposure than you will get from your cell phone.

I live directly next to a nice set of power lines. And I'm supposed to worry about the radiation from the iPhone?

It is meaningless at this point.
Tell me what is a sar rating-what exactly does it mean?
What is the maximum allowed sar rating by the FCC?
What affect does this have and what is the threshold for exposure?

Ps.
Oops, didn't see deggie's post-what he said also.
