The question always needs to be asked: "what KIND of radiation?" If the answer is "radio waves" then what we're talking about is LESS energetic than what comes out the shiny end of a flashlight. If you feel uncomfortably warm (low energy radiation can do this - see Microwave ovens for details), move phone away from head! But realize that this is no more dangerous than holding a hot water bottle to your ear. The dangerous radiaion is UV and X (and G if you hang around nuclear reactors, welding rods or smoke detectors a lot). UV and above are IONIZING radiation. These can cause - cancer - birth defects and other harmful mutations - sterility - and with acute exposure - radiation sickness and death Cell phones don't emit ionizing radiation unless you've found some magical "sunlamp app". PS: yes "that" Rochmoninoff :) Hi Cassiae! I get into this argument all the time.
