Hi Everyone,

I have a Samsung Fascinate(DROID) phone and so far I love it. I know that the topic of cell phones and health concerns have been going on for a while already but usually the study is inconclusive. Now, for all of you cell phone gurus and experts out there, do cell phone really pose a threat to our health?

I know someone who recently told me they do because cell phones emit radio frequencies. Also this person even told me other devices too emit radio frequencies such as wireless routers, wireless keyboards, and even wireless access points. He said we are exposed to these radio emittions everyday, even little kids. This person even told me that even having the cell phone on your pocket and not just close to your ear can cause effects.

Now, I am a person who doesn't just believe what everyone says. I like to do my research and actually some people say YES and some people say NO. One other person online said cell phones, Iphones, Droids, etc.etc. emit non-ionization stuff so there is not much to worry about. Some other person said you will more likely to get sick from the UV rays of the sun than having a cell phone towards your ear or having it on your pocket.

I don't know.....so much information. To all of you cell phone experts, please enlighten me and let me know, thank you and much appreciated for any inputs!!!!!!

some experts say cell phones causes cancer, others say no. It just depends who you want to believe. It is still too early to tell because there needs to be a long term study.

If you have concerns use an ear piece.

I was a wireless operator in the RAF using everything from long/medium/short wave, vhf, UHF and microwave transmissions, many times more powerful that a cell phone.
Leaving the Air Force I had a Radio Hams license using similar frequencies again using high power.

I then had a two way radio company and owned 13 Repeater stations on VHF with UHF & microwave linking systems. I also serviced 2 way radio kit testing the transmitters of 25 watt stuff.

This was over 50 years span. No apparent harm at all.

My food causes cancer, my water causes cancer, smoking causes cancer, breathing in the same atmosphere as a smoker causes cancer, watching tv causes cancer, living near high tension power lines causes cancer, drinking beer causes cancer, working on brakes causes cancer, painting the house causes cancer, Certain parts of the world cause cancer, My phone is the last of my worries.

yes they cause cancer, just like how if you use a cell in a hospital all the life support machines will stop working and if we dont stop using petrol the world is going to end.

Its all propaganda.

BTW digital wireless will set off missile silos if your within a 1000 mile range.

I've heard all these theories that people come up with and never seen any proof, its people scare mongering and/or trying to make money.
