Very good question. I read an article about this. I will post it below as soon as I find it.
I was looking for an article I read in PopSci magazine but could not find it. The article said that studies were not argeeing on what effects cell phone ussage may have. The only possiblity of dangers is using the phone for like 2 hours a day for over 15 years. Something like that.
They did say there is a correlation between cell phone usage and sperm count.

No. Cell phones do emit small amounts of radiation, but they're not dangerous. The only time where a test came up positive for people being affected by the radiation, it was because the test subjects had different conditions that made them more susceptible. The doctor tested people that whose families had a history of brain cancer and the like. When those people started to develop brain cancer, the doctor blamed it on cell phone use.
The most recent study that I've read that may lean towards a danger in cell phones was done in France. They determined that GSM cell phones cause increased brain activity on the side of the brain closest to the cell phone. They determined that it was not dangerous. They didn't test CDMA phones.

Yes. However, again since businesses are making so much money off the cell phones, they don't want to bring it attention and say that there is very little radiation. However, some reports have shown that it is enough, if you stay on the cell can eventually cause cancer. Cell phones are a big business. Therefore, if you ask the cell phone companies, they probably won't admit it.

Today I'd say no. in the 80's and early 90's they were a little more concerned because it was a threat. Did you know that the cell phones in the first Matix movie (like the one Neo uses at his office) were made illegal to use in the U.S. because it put out too much radiation?

No. All things electronic emit electromagnetic radiation. There hasn't been any study that has clearly linked any health issues with exposure to EM radiation.

No. Studies have proved it.
