And how about the BT headset cause we need Lithium batteries to save money and those are the same they use for phones?

Phones give off heat...how about you put your head laid inbetween 2 sumo wrestlers and see how hot it is after that?

Kudos for GSMarena and the research teams, otherwise the mobile phone companies and greedy politicians would have you believe that cell phones are completely safe. Next up... The microwave, another subject of "unfinished" research studies. For all those ignoramusses out there there, try reading some literature before you believe everything that comes your way, much of it is kept quiet, so that business could go on as usual.

Bluetooth (Class 3) devices such as headsets, emit radio waves at 1mW, hence their range is only about 10m (30ft).

It's also important to remember that the weaker your phone's reception is, the more power it will consume, and thus generate much more RF around the head area than normal. This stems from the phone's need to maintain connection to the tower, and the only way to do that is by compensating and increasing the signal it sends out to the receiver.

Eeeeek....i'm using my phone as an alarm clock for more than 5yrs...always keeping it on the bed side table!!! Sounds like I'll have to buy a traditional alarm clock now.

And where are we supposed to keep it then if we can't keep it in the pockets of our trouser?? chest pocket would be harmful for heart I guess! texting can harm ur fingers! I hope that they make special lead-lined containers for keeping our cell phones then!

i did an experiment with 4 of my top of the range handsets, i put a liquid filled compass on a table and every one managed to turn the compass needle, i noted my sony c903 on the 3 network made the needle go crazy, if it can do that what is it doing to our body theres an energy field around these devices and it wouldnt suprise me if we are sitting on a cancer ticking time bomb whilst the con merchant mobile operators run 4 cover

If we're not supposed to put our phones near our head, genitals, or head, where are we supposed to put them!?

So we know that texting and emailing is key but what about calling is using a BT headset good or wired cause no one really likes wired headsets anymore

Surely after 15 minutes of having your hand at the side of your head you will have a warm patch especialy considering a lot of people would rest their hand against the skin of the face. Did they take that inco consideration when taking these pictures??

Akbar is blushing from happines. :D We are all surrounded by radioactivity, sooner or later we will all die, but I agree with those concerns, we realy must take care of ourselfs better, or we won't live long enough to meet super tech era in upcoming years.
