Cell Phone Radiation: Safety Ratings on 1,000 Cell Phones

The T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google’s Android operating system, which competes fiercely against the iPhone 3G S for AT&T and Palm Pre for Sprint, has the second-highest cell phone radiation level of any handset in a new, easy-to-digest consumer guide of 1,000 cell phones and smartphones.

That begs the bigger question on the phone you’re using now or about to purchase: Are cell phones safe or do they cause cancer? It’s one of the oldest questions in the cell phone book for which we still don’t have a conclusive answer.

The good news is that researchers continue to churn out studies and burn through funding (and ask for more money) to get definitive answers.
