I happened to catch a segment on the late-night repeat of the "Oprah Show" regarding cell phones.  You may still be able to listen by going to:  http://www2.oprah.com/index.jhtml
 
Oprah was interviewing Dr. Mehmet Oz (see background data below).  An audience member asked the question:  "Do I need to be concerned about brain cancer from cell phones?"   [ Not verbatim...jcm..4-27-07]
 
Dr. Oz's response was more or less:   ".....well, can take a number of years....but......studies have shown brain cells are affected by cell phones.......may actually find some problems down the road......use speakers.....landline......blue tooth are receivers....." 
 
Oprah was asked whether she uses a cell phone.  Her response was "no..."    Take care  -  Joanne
