Although some may have blown things slightly out of proportion there is a certain amount of theoretical danger involved in being in close proximity to any high power RF source. Computer monitors mainly emit very small amounts of X-Ray radiation and today's monitors actually produce less than what you'd get under full sunlight. Emissions of the sun itself are a combination of various energy components but the RF output of cellular/PCS phones is concentrated in the 900 MHz/2.x GHz microwave spectrum and is of considerable more intensity than one would experience from everyday sources.

Common sense says not to make using a handheld phone an extremely recurring part of your day nor an extended one at any one time.
