Multiple Studies on cell phones and cancer inconclusive
Here's some actual science on the subject. Not fear mongering and paranoid screeching:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/01/060119232625.htm
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070126090943.htm

There is SOME evidence that heavy usage may be linked:

But with so much conflicting data anyone who claims that cell phones are more hazardous than asbestos is VASTLY overstating the case.
Best advice..Use you cell phone but in moderation, like everything else.

1. The point of radiation is that it radiates
Signals to and from cell phones for the most part are not tightbeam, so they radiate in all directions. To the extent that there might be dangers, it's nearly impossible to measure accurately since the radiation, well, "radiates" in all directions -- proponents of the linkage have yet, to my knowledge, to explain how the simple presence of a receiver is supposed to accumulate more or more dangerous radiation.
