Cell phones use a variety of wavelengths to communicate, topping out in the gigahertz range for things like Wifi. It's impossible for light in that range cannot to cause cancer. It's literally less possible for it to cause cancer than visible light. (Which is in the terahertz range)

I think you’re underestimating the myriad biological pathways which can all contribute to cancer, and also the unusual chemistry that can be induced when you tickle molecules at the right vibrational modes. There’s a whole body of literature describing so-called “microwave chemistry”, and these methods can greatly accelerate certain reactions – far more than simple heating with the same amount of energy can do.

With that said, I still put my cellphone in the front pocket every day, for most of the day.

Curse the time limit on editing. Impossible for it to cause cancer. Not "cannot to cause". Ugh. Why does HN have that dumb time limit anyways?
