Arguably it's not healthy to have it next to somewhere else all of the time either, but neither of these claims are supported by scientific evidence.
I was going to say something also, but was afraid to contradict "GOD".

Dear God (pun intended ;) ), maybe you should pick a screen-name more appropriate to your mortal vulnerabilities
Also, i'm curious where you keep your phone while you wisely use the headphones to avoid radiation. Talking through a phone that is in another room is kinda strange
I remember having lots of laughs seeing people use a particularly *****ic model of headphones, which they had to hold up with their hands (!) to make themselves heard over the badly-positioned microphone. Talk about hands-free. Hurray for off-topic!

Actually, yeah, they are. The problem is that not all tests have been conducted with the same protocols and so there's dispute over what the positive results mean.

Nokia has in fact taken heed to testing that shows some adverse effects (note: this subject is not limited to cancer) due to extended cell phone usage and issued cautionary statements in that regard.

Scientific is the operative term. :)

I stand by my statement, including that qualifier.

Differing protocols and/or conclusions among experiments does not mean any were unscientific.

EDIT: Nokia has acknowledged the scientific basis of at least some European testing.

Unfortunately that issue tends to be too political.

But to tie it all together... can we assume that device thickness helps prevent ill effects?

:D

No, but presumably keeping it in the back pocket (thickness permitting) will reduce the risk of brain cancer. For most of us, anyway. ;)

Butt wouldn't that increase the risk of colon cancer?

Nah, skin cancer. You see it has to go through all that skin to get to your colon. (not a jab, honest).
