My mates girlfriend died a couple of years ago from a brain tumour. Before she passed away the specialist seeing her told them that as a human race we are doing something wrong as there's a massive increase in brain tumours and that she only ever uses a pager and wouldn't let her kids have phones.

The side of my head got a bit warm if I used it for more than 20 minutes - which was most of the time as it was in constant use.

They are safe as long as you don't have them hanging out your back pocket.

There's more radiation emitted from a baby monitor than a mobile phone, they're completely safe despite what the scaremongers might say.

That rather depends on what you do with them.
