    @nutbastard: Don't blame me i voted for Ron Paul edition:

    and yes i recognize the irony of in this case BEING a self righteous person pointing to a flawed study and saying "SEE?!?" - just as the aforementioned bitchy nonsmokers have done for years.

    How many researchers involved in the cancer study relied on their cell phones to communicate with each other throughout the project?

    I hope the result are as bad as they now seem, way to many are on the phone all the time. I never understand what they have to say to each other, and what they will have left to talk about when you meet the same person in the flesh.

    I also hope they will stop offering the "all you can call" plans and back to plans that charge for every call or textmssg; I would save money, and it might stimulate others to call less too.

    Ever since my first "miniature" cell phone, the DPC-650, I have been careful with them. That one gave me severe headaches if I didn't extend the antenna. A microwave is a microwave is a microwave. No matter how you like to pretty that up, would you put your head beside a microwave oven with a leaky door?


    Rules:

    1) Use bluetooth so the phone isn't near your ear. A live dork is better than a dead one, if you are that dork.

    2) Extend the antenna if possible / available.

    3) Make your calls short.

    4) NEVER use a cell phone within 10' (3 m) of a pregnant woman or a child under 2, or farther if possible.

    5) NEVER use a cell phone within 6' (2 m) of an older child.

    6) NEVER let anyone under 18 use a cell phone, even to say hi to grandma...

    7) NEVER use a cell phone in a car/ truck/ SUV if there is a child in it. Microwaves bounce off glass.

    8) Don't use a cell phone in a car/ truck/ SUV if possible. Pull over and call them back.

    @Max_Lux: Make sure also to NEVER use a cell phone upside down, since the waves will have to travel through your whole body, giving you systemic cancer.

    All I do is text, with the occasional phone call. I might talk on the phone once every 2 to 3 days. I text all the time though.

    @LastOne: 10 Years Later: 3000% Increase in Hand/Finger Cancer Found. Cause unknown. In unrelated news, cell phone manufactures have founded an organization known as the "Academy for Cell Phone Studies" in order to study the link between cell phone use and cancer.
