So are TVs, and games, and computers... right?

Nope.

The only exception is cell phones emit a slight amount of radiation, but because it is closer to the brain it is amplified compared to a computer monitor. But this small amount of radiation is trivial.

you make 5 phone calls a day for 10 years
that small amount turns into a big amount of radiation that your brain has been exposed to...
no joke
well anyway, ive ditched my cell phone, i dont wanna die of cell phone cancer
not to freak anyone out or anything, but you should be freaked out
major magazines refuse to publish how cell phones are bad for the brains in fear of causing a scare.
so ive heard

recent study I read awhile ago.

But then again, doesn't the average male have a 50-33% risk of gaining some sort of cancer in their lifetime?

One important point to note though is, that it is never enough to look on just one study. You have to take the big picture into account and at the moment it seems that there is no increased risk for cancer.
I did not read the israeli study, but the most important one on the subject is http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/98/23/1707. It shows no increased risks.
This may be not the last word on the matter so it is certainly not a bad idea protect children from heavy mobile phone usage.

I think it is wise to minimize use of cell phones, even if there are conflicting studies on the matter. I believe Germany and a couple other countries in Europe have said that it would be wise to apply the precautionary principle to cell phones and their use. In other words, it is not precisely understood how long term use of this technology will affect people, so rather than gambling, it might be wise to just not use them, or to greatly minimize their use. My personal feeling is that cell phones are very dangerous, and should be avoided. I think it is kind of funny that people are arguing that they are safe when the technology has not been used on a large scale for very long. Cancer does not form over night. There are also doctors/researchers who argue that cell phones are dangerous, and so even if there is disagreement on the matter, I don't want to be a guinea pig for powerful cell phone companies and phone networks.

I also think it is wise to minimize use of computers and other electronics.

I realize this position seems absurd to the average person. We have been conditioned to take a life full of high technology as not only normal, but good; a sign of progress. It is hard to reject an entire world-view that one has become accustomed to over many years. So my personal recommendation is to gradually get used to using less technology; phase it out bit by bit. But that's up to everyone to decide on their own.

Kudos to the original poster for giving up their phone. I haven't even gone that far yet, but I do keep my cell phone off most of the time, and use it maybe once a week. I read one doctor recommending that a cell phone be used no more than 5 minutes PER YEAR.

not many people actually talk on cell phones alot, mostly texting i would say. or we could just follow those successful black guys who all have a bluetooth headset. Im not even kidding the next time you see a black guy in a business suit and he doesnt have a bluetooth headset, your looking at the wrong ear.
