I didn't fit any of the choices. I have one but don't use it all that often, wife and I share a 550 minute plan and never go near using all those minutes. we also have headsets for when we do use them.

I need mine for work. My personal one rarely gets used but I'm on my work one almost all day. Luckily my boss and I primarily text each other. Plans for a bluetooth headset are in the works.

I don't have a landline, but I'd never say I'm connected to my mobile. I make about one call a month, and receive a few SMSs.

I live someplace that has NO cell phone service.

I find people contorting their bodies in various ways and holding the phone up in the air to be one of the funniest things. And I never have to listen to an inane conversation in a diner.

I also love the look on people's faces when they discover that a place less than 3 hours from New York City does not have a cell signal.

You don't have an option for "I have one, I use it a few times a week, but not excessively"

There are several European countries with more mobile phone subscriptions than people (including children) -- e.g. Denmark (1.05 phones per person), Finland (1.07), Germany (1.03), Greece (1.28), Ireland (1.21), Italy (1.38), Spain (1.15), Sweden (1.17), UK (1.17). I don't have any figures for the USA, those figures for Europe come from a poster (data is correct to the end of 2006).

There will always be "conflicting evidence" on subjects that may hurt a company's profits - especially in a time where you can "buy science" from pseudo-research foundations.

An informed citizen must pull together multiple studies and articles on cell phone radiation to truly see the big picture.

Here's an article explaining the way more cell phone towers actually reduce radiation and which age groups face the largest risks from excessive cell phone use:

I don't care about "studies" into cell phone safety. Studies often report things like, "People that eat m&m candies are more likely to break their left arm."

I do know that talking on a cell phone for 15+ minutes does a good job of melting all the wax in my ear, and with longer conversations, gives me a headache that goes away after hanging up. Whether there is long term damage or not doesn't deter me the way immediate discomfort does.

Mostly text. A few calls/month. Still costs me $50 a month!

I think it was a year or so ago when a long-term study from Denmark had a drawn to a conclusion. The study was only focused on the possibility of cellphones increasing the risk for cancer. After monitoring a large sampling (the exact number escapes me a.t.m.), for up to 10 years in some cases, it was found that the cancer rate among cellphone users matched the rate of cancer for the whole country, including those that did not have cellphones.

A high-powered source of RF energy can cause RF burns (e.g. Magnetron in the microwave)... so the jury is still out on neural issues.

In a less serious note, I have noted that people using cellphones while driving DO tend to get dumber...

Jan. 25th,08. I had a tumor removed from my brain(ping pong ball sized). Is there a way to tell if it's related to cell phones?
Same type and location as Ted Kennedy's.
