All depends on how much you believe on whether using a mobile phone near your head is good or bad for you.

Keep using it. After a while, you won't be able to care.

Headsets emit much less radiation than phones. Choose either wired or wireless (experts are split on which version is safer): www.ewg.org/cellphoneradiation/Get-a-Headset. Some wireless headsets emit continuous, low-level radiation, so take yours off your ear when you're not on a call. Using your phone in speaker mode also reduces radiation to the head.

Ah, so my Motorola V8 is useless for downloading photos, but it won't kill me.

Nokia doesnt affect anyone?
"I really love you" she said. "Is that the champagne talking" he asked. "No" she laughed. "That's me talking to the champagne"
