Same as Charles, I have also seen near field measurements at a couple of centimeters from the phone antenna, with fields up to about 700 V/m. The measurements were taken on a GSM phone, with small EMCO isotropic field probe (the one based on Kanda's design, with resistive dipoles about 7 mm

There is a transition regime applies. Before April 8, 2000, we knew what we should do Between April 8, 2000 and April 7, 2001, the transition regime applies and manufacturers can place on the market and put into service equipment which Case 1. complies with Directive 99/5/EC Case 2.
