Nowadays there are a lot of discussions about unhealthy radiation from cell phones. Is there anyone else but me who is a bit concerned about this issue?

It makes you wonder. The cell phone I have at work creats this static on the radio every time I power it up. I have heard of studys done where they say prolong use of a cell phone can cause brain tumors, but I don't know how credible those reports are. If it bothers you, you can always use a headset and attach it to the phone. I've thought of doing this myself.

Yes it does make you wonder. I think using a headset/handsfree is a smart move!

nah.. not really.. i don't care that much about radiation coming off from phones because i think it would be too small to cause something big. you should be worrying about your computer giving off radiation. haha

If you should be worried about radiation I would be worried more about your microwave and such things, there's a lot more than just your mobile doing that. Asides from that the amount a mobile emits is minimal, so for the average person it would be highly unlikely that this would cause a problem. Not to mention that we should have seen it by now then already pop up clear in statistics as we've been using mobile phones for over 15 years already.

i dont think we should be really worried about radiation from cellphones unless you use it for calls around a few hours per day. if you just use it for messages, then its fine. if you spend extended periods of time talking on the phone, then use a handsfree set to keep the radiation away.
