Hi getbrowser, I have heard about this and feel that there is probably some truth to it. However, I'm sure that if it's found to be too dangerous, someone will come up with an alternative. There is big bucks in the business so there is little chance that it is disappear from the market. Blessings.

Control your phone use is the note of the day i think. Alittle radiation eachtime. I worry about the young kids that have the thing up to their ear constantly like a body part. These worry because the more use the more apt it is to affect us. I think it is just in very small bits each time. I hope.

Till now we do not have exact answer for this question. Some research suggest they cause cancer some suggest they are harmless. But i think its better to be safe than sorry. After all its for our own health. why to take risk. I suggest you keep them away only. Pull a table near your bed and you can keep it on them right ? Well Happy Mylotting.

Have read the bad news about radiation, our cell phones produces. Here's an addition to the list. Studies shows that there could be a link to male guys and impotence due to the use of cellphones. How? As cellphones often place on our pants pockets. And since its near or our most protected organ, the radiation created creates imbalance and destroys our sperm cells. That's why I do not put cell phones on my pockets. Truly a very alarming news for us "men".

hi, From centuries man have invented many things in science and technology. Though he has invented it for good purpose man is misusing it. For example invention of Atom bomb is also for good reason but we are destroying ourselves with it. Similarly cellphone technology was also invented for urgent communication or emergency purpose but now-a-days we chat for hours without any purpose. Many reasearches had already proved that long use of cell phone can be injurious as due to radiation created by its signals people may suffer from cancer and other disorders. So it is now in our hands to whether misuse it or use it only for urgent needs.I just suggest you to take care and use it only when needed which may not be harmful.

As far as I know, radiation is the main factor which makes cellphone is danger for our healthy. But I think a lot of people just neglect that useful fact and live normally without being aware,as we all do! =) But I read articles about dangerous cellphone battery , which once it was overused, it might have been exploded! This one is very very dangerous and a lot of people have been warned by the cellphone provider (I will never write what the provider is) to change the battery. I think this unique fact is the one which makes cellphone officially harm.

Franly,the radiation is unvisible,so many people overlooked it.,just like us sit before the computer screen.Since the technology and social development,there are more serious poulltion or harms influnced our life,as a result there are an increasing number of people get the cancer which can not be recongized in the past. All in all,we cann't live wihtout the harzard brought by our own invention,which the radiation of cell phone is just one of these.

Yes, I think so. Cell phones are really harmful for our health, especially when we use them for long time. The radiation of cell phones is not very large at nomal state, but when it is used, the intensity of radiation inceases dramatically. I think this is the main reason that cell phone harm our health.

oh, i must agree it is a pity that cell phone may do harm to our health. as we know,cellphone has RF and work in high frequency band, it will produce amount of radiation when transimitting signals, and maybe better when receiveing. some people use earphone to decrease the radiation from cellphone, it is not the best way, and some earphone also has certain radiation. if I use cell phone long time before sleep, i will feel some headache and a little comfortable, it is really annoying, so please try to use cellphone as little as you can.

i think...if you normally use a cell phone then it will not create problem for health..and if you mostly use..like talking to person..many hours..then it create problem for health..and research said..if you talking to many hours to people via phone..then in future..you may be captured by brain cancer...so be careful for this type of problems.

.....Hi getbrowser, I have heard that holding a cell phone next to your head, could cause you to develop a brain tumor. I can't remember what the last thing I read said, but I don't think they had conclusive evidence that it was true. I do know this, there are electrical currents that come through the cell phone and it is not a good idea to sit with the phone laying against your head, for long periods of time, just in case it is true. Probably the same thing applies with a regular telephone. Television sets emit radiation from the color screens, so it would be good, not to sit to close to the set, while watching. Take care.

getbrowser, you rise an interesting point about cell phones is harm or not for health .we know when we make a call or receive cell phone call, cell phone emits low level of redio frequency radiation. some health scientist says on their research that linking long term or frequent cell phone use increase rate of brain tumors, and migraines. but cell phone is much dangerous to people when they not pay attention on driving but pay attention on the cell phone talking.

I believe it does. Studies have been made and the experts advice to be a litte careful. Prolonged use of putting the cellphones close to our ears is hazardous to health. And not only that, frequencies coming out of the cellphones are said to cause fire so drivers filling their tanks are advise to turn the cell phones off. Since we don't see the immediate effects, people tend to disregard warnings and take everything for granted. have fun

Hey getbrowser It is true that use of cell phone for long period can harm your body as due to creation of magnetic field radiation is discharging from the cell phone which is harmful for human being. In this regard several study was conducted and it has been revealed that due to radiation brain and ear etc. is being affected. I think if you use your cell phone frequently and for longer period conversation it will be harmful. pkc3000

I do more texting on my phone than I do talking, so I don't think the texting would be harmful, and when I do talk, I don't talk all that long on it either. You know though, I really havn't seen any warnings to the contrary, but if there is a danget, it has never affected me, as I never get headaches after talking, thank goodness. I dont' know how many people it does affect though, and not saying it doesn't affect any, but if there is danger, then I will have to take precautions just in case. As long as I don't have it up to my ear to long, I think I m okay. good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hello Getbrowser, I do read some where else about using cell phones while pregnant may harm baby. According to the article, researchers found that mothers who used cell phones at least two or three times each day brought increased risk of developing hyperactivity to their children. It says that use of the phones by both pregnant women and children should be "limited," adding that children who use cell phones are more likely to suffer from "disruption of memory, decline of attention, diminishing learning and cognitive abilities, increased irritability" in the short term, and that longer-term hazards include "depressive syndrome" and "degeneration of the nervous structures of the brain".

Yes, I believe cell phone really harm our health. Actually, i believe any morden technical product with radiation will harm our health. These kind of things effect by cell. These technical product really bring convience for us and I think we can not live without our cell phone nowadays. But getbbrowser, I think you'd better keep away from your cell phone when you are sleeping. And you'd better turn off the cell phone when you go to sleep. Also, we should pay attention to our computer on every single day, take some measure to reduce the radiation. It is said that to put 2 bottles of water near our monitor can reduce the radiation much. At last, good luck to you!
