This is not a "myth" ! You dont need to know much physics to compute just the
thermo-biological effect raising the temperator in your head by more than 2
degree celcius depending on the type of phone, signal strength and length of the
call.

Now the electro-dynamic effect on your cells is disputed. And I dont think its
likely to cause cancer by default. But the other extreme oppinion that it has no
effect at all is equally hard to imagine.

Greetings,
Georg
