GSM phones may be hazardous to your health?? Hmmm. GSM NOT mentioned. Why is CDMA 'safer'?

If this cancer scare turns out to be true (unlikely), the problem is easily solved by a separate earphone-microphone unit for those who are worried. Does CDMA put out less radiation?? If so, the scare would make a great sales tool for CDMA Meanwhile QCOM stock price is down over 20%. Ouch. I took the bait and bought some today but it's probably too soon. It's normal for a stock to correct 30% to 40% or so following an advance, and since the QCOM advance was so marked the correction may have quite a way to go.

imo, this is the single most dangerous issue concerning investments in cellular / wireless in general -- I think around six years ago, there was a similar scare and cellular shares tanked -- at that time, there seemed to be a consensus that there was no significant scientific evidence that the risk of brain cancer was increased by use of cellular phones -- however, if these new studies really establish a scientific link, this could be a disaster.
