My, but I do so enjoy scientific rigor in postings. 

:-)

You were doing ok, here, sire, until you shot your ignorance off in
front of a list full of people who actually *do* know what you are
talking about.

Handheld callular phones have *never* put out 3 watts; the FCC didn't
permit it... not that you could have gotten more than, say, 48 seconds
of battery life at that power level, anyway. 

Mobile and bag style AMPS phones would do 3 watts, yes, but
they're about to go obsolete (to the dismay of offshore boaters, among
other people); handheld AMPS phones (like the Dynatac brick) would do
600mW (again, by regulatory fiat), smaller ones might not have even
gotten that high.  

Current digital TDMA handhelds top out at, I think, 300mW, and
CDMA's typically only run 200.   iDen, I don't recall, but being
pulsed, the effects are probably slightly different, anyway.

Gee.  200mW.  What a familiar number.  :-)
