We have to consider where the warnings are coming from and who they are given to. And these problems of cancer and depression can be caused by many things so oftentimes one does not know the original cause. As for radiation, years ago there were x-ray machines to take chest x-rays because when i was young there was the risk of tuberculosis, so who is to say that the cancer was caused by excessive x-rays or the use of the cellphone? Also one has to consider what country has the greatest use of cell phones and the cheapest rates? I know it certainly is not Canada so the studies had to be done elsewhere. Saying that something causes cancer or depression is no good unless there are findings backing it up, and I mean what percentage of people using cell phones over a certain period who had no other contributory factors got cancer, radiation poisoning, etc. If not then it becomes a means of discouraging people from using cell phones in other countries. Now I hardly use mine, except for emergencies, and I do not have a blue tooth head set that protects one against radiation to use with it, but you see if you have to use a head set, if one gets a different cell phone, the head set you use in the one you have now may not match and these cost around $100 so either you go without a cell phone or they have to include the blue tooth head set that protects one from radiation in each cell phone and up the price.

Years ago, that is about over fifty years ago, they really did not care, and they had these portable x=ray machines because there were a lot of people who had come from Europe just over the war who may have gotten tb and did not know it.

I have been impatiently waiting for science to start issuing warnings of second-hand radiation. Can you imagine what the world was like before radio? Today we have millions of earth-based stations blaring out all sorts of waves - AM, FM, shortwave, microwave, and thousands of satellites doing the same thing, some covering almost half the world at the same time. Before 1920 (morse code wireless transmitters were around since 1895) there was absolutely nothing. Maybe it is just coincidence, but cancer rates were very low back then. And the way many people use them is irritating, the way they are used in public is atrocious; non-stop gossip for the forty-five minutes while using public transportation; having love or hate fights, sometimes with screaming and including obscenities no matter how many children are around ... it's about time we put the chattering monkeys in separate areas so they don't bother us normal human beings.

I tell you all these reports about health hazards are mere speculations. The use of mobile came to such a huge number during last 6/7 years. During this short period of use noone has been reported to develope any such disease. May be we have to wait for another 25 years when the actual picture would start coming. So for now chill. all we can do is use the cellphone to a minimum. There are chips available that claim to reduce the radiation but i am not sure about their effectiveness.

Hello my friend Ganesh44 Ji, You are very right to come to this conclusion, so i do not have one for myself. I try and avoid using them. It is very good electronic gadet for any emergency, but not for SMS for many reality shows going on different channels. may God bless everyone to restrict the use of cell phones and have a great time.

Has any of this been proven? I use a cll phone every day since I was a teenager when they has those those big brick cell phones. I do not have any health issues. But that is not to say that there is not people who do have issues with their health due to cell phone usage. It is scary to know that I could get cancer from using a cell phone. But my cell phone is like my lipstick I can not leave the house with out it and I constantly am using it. Peop like me can not stop using our phones, but maybe we need to find safer ways to use our phones.

I think the "jury is still out" on some of that. I have heard that they can cause hearing problems, but so can listening to music on headphones if the volume is too high. Also I have heard about the radiation, etc into the brain. I think they haven't got enough data on this to accurately diagnose this. I did hear that it is really better if you use a cell phone a lot to use and ear piece instead of holding the phone to your ear. I guess only time will tell with years of research.

I think if people used cell phones less there wouldn't be so much danger. They need to quit constantly yakking on the cell phone. What about those headsets I see everyone wearing, do they also pose a health hazard?

if it does cause all of those im sure they will alter the designs of newer ones eventually to keep those side affects at a minimum.. right now all you can do is limit your usage to help

well i use cellphone daily, using it for calls and sms 9-10 times day. i haven't experienced any hazardous results but if i keep cellphone at my ear for more than 5 minutes i feel little discomfort and the mobile also becomes a bit warm. so, i use my cellphone less for talking and more for messaging. i use my landline for detailed and leisure talks that are lengthy and mobile for urgent and small talks. i hope this information is useful for anybody since use of cellphone is inevitable in this age.
