This recent article I read stating that there is no increased risk of cancer due to cell phone use seems counter-intuitive but is good new for those of us living in an increasingly wireless world. WiFi phones will soon be common and WiMAX, EVDO and other technologies are going to keep massive amounts of wireless signals near us at all times.
Still the study only has 10 years worth of data so the long-term effects of exposure to strong radiation is unknown.
Regardless of the study’s findings, there is no scientist I am aware of who advises children spend large amounts of time on cellular phones as their brains are still developing.

The article cites the studies over the years that show links between cell phone radiation and cancer.

In one particular study, "those who used cell phones for less than 10 years faced a 20% higher risk of developing brain cancer. But for those who used them for more than a decade the risk was 80% higher. The study also found that tumours were 2.5 times more likely to be on the same side of the head as the phone was held. The cancer of the auditory nerve, accoustic neuroma, showed a larger increase--3.5 times greater risk."
I dont believe you told me what i wanted to know.
The human body and brain run on subtle electrical signals. It is folly to make the assumption that holding a device which emits thousands, perhaps millions or more, times that energy in electromagnetic, information carrying, pulsed microwave radiation, is "safe".
How many times have you heard the "official" story - "the radiation is non ionizing - it doesn't heat your tissue, so it is harmless" - wa-hey, talk all you want, right? B.S.
This "theory" ignores what I have outlined above.
The following have been attributed to damage caused by the radiation from wireless devices:
Brain cancer
Throat cancer
Eye cancer
Cancers of the mouth
Sleep disorders
Fatigue
Difficulty focusing
Behavioral disorders
Autism spectrum disorder
Leukemia
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Memory problems
Internal bleeding
Temporary blackouts
Restless leg syndrome
Tingling
Tinnitus (Ringing in the ears)
Blood-brain barrier leakage
Parkinson's and other neurological disorders
Headaches
Depression
Diabetes
Reproductive abnormalities
Genetic damage, inherited by future generations
...Etc.
This is a time bomb. All "safe" studies are industry funded. They want your money. Do all of these "reassurances" sound unnervingly like what was said about tobacco, DDT, asbestos, lead, and all such "indispensable" innovations? Let's see... convenience, or LIFE? Choose wisely.

Of the 100 million American cellular phone subscribers, some use their wireless phone only in a crisis--to call a friend or 911. They put their rap sessions on hold until arriving home, where phoning a friend costs no cents per minute.
For other wireless phone owners, it could be the fear of brain cancer, not an unwieldy wireless bill, that keeps them from using their cell phones for leisure chats.
Convinced that a nine-year cell phone habit led to his brain cancer, neurologist Chris Newman, M.D., has filed an $800 million lawsuit in Baltimore against his cell phone's maker and several other telecommunications companies. His suit comes five years after the dismissal, for lack of evidence, of a lawsuit filed in Florida by David Reynard, who alleged that a cell phone was responsible for his wife's fatal brain cancer.
