So I guess I be the only one w/o brain cancer.

I don't have a cell phone, and I don't want one. Electronic leash.

I have one, not using it much though.
But three weeks weeks ago instead of giving me a cancer, it saved my life, at a secluded crossroad a cab driver ran into my motorcycle and ran away leaving me there in the middle of the road in the summer heat, but luckily I had my cell phone and called an ambulance.
There still are some occasions that you could really use a cell phone.

Critcism ceetainly is not directed at rare, occasional use of cellphones, or using them in mergencies. Using the daily as the preferred option of commincation in the office, or the tool of routine to cal your friends - this is where any risk from being exposed to their radiation is coming from.

If you don't have one, how could he possibly know that?

Now nobody has or uses it a little cellphones.

Must be costing all of you a small fortune to fix the dents in your monitors.

Is there a bandwagon you all don't jump on ?

I use a cell. Of course, I'll be using it a lot less from now on.

baggygreen · 07-24-08, 05:33 PM

I have one,

Don't use it in my line of work, at least not the primary one. Use it occassionally when i have to run around town to do assessments on people for footy, use it to send text messages rather than talk (i dont believe in the hype necessarily, but why risk more than necessary).

The main thing i use my phone for is as a music player/radio at work, because it is great for that and i flatly refue to buy an ipod.

Did this guy work on Global Warming prior to his cellphone research?

For the first half of the article I thought it was a joke. Is it?

I love the line "We shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out"

, so let get everyone panicking now with no proof -even says it in the story no Major study has proved a link,Reminds me of the British study a few years back that said to use handsfree so you keep the phone away from your head BUT then turned around 2 weeks later and said not to use a handsfree because it channels the phone signal straight into your head

.
I think i'll go along with the weight of the evidence and not worry about it.

Good to see common sense hasn't been lost.

It's amazing how some news making study turns out to be some self serving WHACKO.
