ive owned a mobile phone since i was 11, have gone through about 50 different phones since.. im now 19 and work in a phone store.. I usually sleep with my phone under my pillow or just beside my head.. for years ive always had headaches when laying down.. i put it down to my phone so moved it away for a few weeks and my head seemed better.. my eyesight is starting to get a little worse tho..

during my school years yr 8 to yr 12 i had a phone (sometimes 2) in my school pants pockets.. god only knows what this has done to my ovaries then??.. im a heavy txt messenger and rarely talk on my phone, if so its never more then 1hour.. I reckon i would be the perfect candiate for this research!

If I held a brick to my face for 15 minutes, the side of my head would be heated like it is displayed in those thermal images.
This doesn't prove anything.

From the electromagnetically point of view (the important part in respect to the real danger) the presented information is absolute information less in respect to the topic. Thermal pictures are always a relative presentation of the information and can't be judged without the relevant Data! Even more important is the fact that they can only present a surface plot and not the import information inside the head!
The presented pictures only show the fact that when you keep an object(whatever it is - mobile, cable telephone, a book) on one side of your face it will heat up as the heat of the skin can't be transmitted to the environment as usual. Same holds true when you go to bed and lay on the side of your face - there is no known case where someone suffers cancer from sleeping...
There are several sources in every days life where we are confronted with much higher fields.
Just my two pence about a topic many people discuss about without even have a bit of an idea what's all about.

A possible "budget" consideration to decreasing the amount of daily radiation exposure, is to put your phone into Offline (Nokia)/Airplane (Samsung) Mode at night. Different companies have different names for this mode. This way, you can still check the time in the morning, listen to music, have your alarm wake you up, etc, with less RF emissions.

Well if cell phones can really reduce the number of spermatozoids, then this is serious. I am a guy and I carry my cell phone in my back pocket. I wonder if electromagnetic radiation can reduce other things too :)

Radiation also affects your cells -apart from thermal effect! Therefore, it is not only risk for cancer..

It would be nice if there was an application/option on my cellphone to have it offline and connect automagically every n minutes, to get all the missed calls and messages. I don't use my cellphone a lot, maybe 5-6 calls and messages per day, so the radiation would be a lot less for me. Unfortunately I cannot do it myself since I'm still learning to code.

SAR ratings for in-call, standby and active-data-connections like, e.g. ActiveSync or GoogleSync, would be great!
