Microwave oven leakage exposure, while it can be quite large compared to a cell phone's average radiated power, is not modulated. So, the small amount of research we have, which almost all tested wholly unmodulated radiation, suggests that it would have little or no effect.

About the phone, we don't have any good information. That doesn't stop people from insisting they, personally, know, without any.

"Microwave oven leakage exposure, while it can be quite large compared to a cell phone's average radiated power,"

Is this really true under most circumstances? I think lifetime leakage limit is set at 5mW for microwaves and a cellphone is much higher during tx at around 800mW.

"Average"
Which is?
Less than peak.
