    Or, lung cancer, prostate cancer... etc

    No, it doesn't make sense. They have the same rating.

    I'll just take my chances. When I'm talking, I try to use the headphones or speakerphone, though.

    I'm too busy typing to get cancer - I never have it to my head, so what possible cancer could I get if it's in my lap while I text? Uh oh, , I just realized....

    I find it funny that the top 4 are Motorola phones. Slowly but surely, that company is killing people (with crappy phones and cancer, all at the same time.)

    I strongly think that this is bull. Then again there was a time when people thought cigarettes wouldn't kill you. And hey, maybe eating healthy is what'll be killing us in 20 years.

    I think it's important to remember that enough research will tend to support any theory.

    I don't think eating healthy would kill us in twenty years... unless, maybe, you are talking about genetically modified foods which is a possibility!

    I always thought that the link between cell phones and cancer was bull too but we could be wrong in the distant future. D:

    Sorta scary to think about.

    Just about 99% of the population has a cell phone~wouldnt this mean that at least 50% of them would have brain cancer?

    The article is hype...they couldn't even spell "glioma" correctly.

    If cellphones caused brain cancer, it would have been reflected in cancer rates by now, and it hasn't. You're thousands of times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than from a brain tumor, anyway. People need to stop worrying so much...worry causes stress, and that will kill you quicker than a few milliwatts of radio energy.

    Phones are getting more and more powerful so I do believe there is a small amount of risk to excessive use. However I still enjoy steak and a cigar every now and then so how dumb would be for me to worry about this........still glad I have a pearl though!
