Well, to date no one has been able to to prove beyond doubt that smoking causes cancer. And I don't want to wait around till someone DOES prove that the radiation causes harm. I've seen how much of a field my cellular phone can create with my laptop computer and my cable TV box, it's pretty strong. I use well over 1500 mins/month of wireless time, and AM now worried coz. I use a Nokia. The radiation from these phones is significantly higher than the motorolas. When I worked in the industry, our engineers were definitely quite concerned about the shielding issues - not just to comply with the FCC 0.6 watt requirements, but from a user perspective as well. We simply chose to ignore the health issues - basically a sort of self denial. I guess since you work for Qualcomm (or someone similar), you're in the same frame of mind.
