Ok, you truly believe because there is a little piece of metal between you and the cell, you are protected by any potentially dangerous rays.

Read my replies again. I chose my words carefully (as I always do), when replying to this thread.
I specifically said
minimize the exposure, not eliminate it. There is no way to completely eliminate the effects, other than being miles away from the phone itself.

That is largely because there isn't enough history behind cellphones, using current technologies, to define the parameters of the study. Give it 10 to 15 years. If a "tumor" is to grow, it won't grow in a weekend... it takes
years for most outside effects to modify the human cellular structure to give rise to cancer cells.
