I don't think this has yet to be proved, there are still arguments about whether mobile phones are dangerous and lead to cancer, but I err on the side of caution, I don't particular like mobile phones, I only use them to text and very very rarely use them to phone people, I like it for emergencies if I break down in my car it is useful. There could be a slight risk, but there is a risk in everything we do, so I wouldn't worry too much about it!

I'm less worried about the magnetic fields and microwaves than I am the morons that drive around talking on them, ignoring traffic lights, stop signs and pedestrians. There is no safe cell phone; they all have their down sides. Using a hands free device can put you at a safe distance but scientists still say that there are dangers to using them more than 30 minutes a day.
