I have been using a mobile phone for about 3 years now and i would have to say that just talking on it is the least to worry about. In ways the phone is dangerous like using it when driving. I see at least 5 people talking on phones in there car on the way to work or the grocery store. I only use my phone in the car when someone calls me or in an emergency. I have heard about to many accidents with people using cell phones and not paying attention to the people in front of them. Cell phones affect you when operating anything by taking your attention away and you can get distracted at the work place or anywhere.

I would have to say that radation from the cell phone, has it even killed anyone yet? Guessing not or else i would of heard about it, so it seems safe enough just to talk to people while out doing something.

Personally I don't think mobile phones are dangerous unless it's going to blow up in your face or whatever like someone mentioned previously. In my opinion it really depends on the person who owns the mobile phone and how they use it. Like if you're in your car and your mobile rings and you decide to answer it while you're driving and you crash, then it's your own fault isn't it? Just use a mobile responsibly and use it for what it is, a phone. Like do you really need to buy really expensive ones or have all those extra features? I guess if there's nothing wrong with your mobile phone and you're not obsessed with it and only use if when you have to, then there's no harm done.

mobile phones have ben related to brain tumers and brain damage and other types of mind problems, one article I read on the newspaper says that early research concludes that they can be linked certain diseases, I think they said cancer from it being in your pocket.....or something but I have heard from other sources that they are related to many different horribile things....

Cellphones have been said to cause health problems because of the microwaves used in the transmission of data. You wouldn't stick your head inside a microwave, so why stick a microwave next to your head?

That being said, the risks these days are minimal, Especially with text messaging. The less time the phone is next to your head, the better.

The emmissions from a cell phone are well below what would be considered safe, there are more emmissions from your computer monitor than your cell.
I have seen some medical reports suggesting that EM Radiation from cell phones can affect your ability to concentrate, but I am skeptical to say the least. I am willing to believe that the EM Radiation is more harmful to young children than adults, this only makes sense since thier skulls are still developing and the EM fields can reach more areas of the brain at once since a childs head is smaller. This makes sense. The only problem with the theory that these EM Fields are dangerous is there has been no substantial linkage, and there are sources of EM Radiation all around you all day, the cell is just one source.

The only thing dangerous about cell phones is the way people use them. I see so many people driving on the freeways while talking on the phone... come on people have you never heard of handsfree set? I have even seen people so wrapped up in there phone conversation that they cross a busy intersection without looking for traffic, saw that cause a pretty bad fender bender once.

The only other danger I have ever heard of that is reported to have substantial evidence to support it is that a cell can cause explosions while at a gas station filling up. The theory is that if you are filling up and your phone rings a small spark from the light that lights up when phones ring can cause the gas fumes to ignite. However any fans of mythbusters know this isn't true Click me for details.

Mobile Phone is important for the communication... is a global product and make shorter the spaces... but is dangerous of course...

every time people come with something new others say it is dangerous or they say that it is something good.
But what time lears is that you only know of somthing is really dangerous (or not) if after a wile that can be 10 days or years you don't know...
Einstein didn't know what he put in to a formulla was oing to destroy a city and so are ther many other things that are bad (or good) for us that we thing at the time that is was invented was good for us (or bad).

I've heard that mobiles phones explode in someones hand, calling of mobiles phones in petrol kiosk will activate radiations and explode the whole area, and radiations from calling where a chemical leakage is around, and even phones that have infra-red have a special applications that can turn off and even switch channel of a television!!

lol everything you do CAN and IS dangerous... even knowing that ppl will always use phones no matter what. They're practical, full of features.. and the chance of like their blowing up in someone's hands is less to null.
