    While they probably don't help, the power output from a phone is so low, and your head is so (comparatively) large that I don't see how there could be any effect.

    Having said that, since everything gives you cancer these days, who cares anymore?

    There have been several studies about this question and I think that there are no conclusive answers yet. The main waves emitted by mobile phones are not in the microwave region although there is some residual microwave emission. Try looking at the net because I'm sure you will find some updated information
