No it doesn't cause it but it could... radiation emitted by the mobile can turn a cell cancerous, but it's not any more likely than the radiation you're exposed to in the street, underground, on a plane... there's radiation everywhere from different things that can cause cancer... about 100 radioactive particles pass through your finger every minute, each one of those baring a chance to turn a cell cancerous. using a mobile may bring it up to possibly 150 in extreme cases (mobiles have to meet regulations to keep it at a minimum) but then again, flying on a plane means over 500 could pass through your finger a minute. so are frequent flyers more likely to get cancer? yeah but it's an almost negligible difference. same thing with people working underground, terrestial radiation is great and can also cause cancer.. but there is no evidence or no correlation showing up yet the answer is no it doesnt cause it, but it CAN... extremely small chance

I think there is a relation but the findings are inconclusive. If in fact cancer causing things were known for sure, than that will be very much like almost knowing how to not only prevent it but cure it. Environmental exposure does have an effect on human being but the exposure has to be constant and for a significant amount of time. For example: It takes about 30 years of usage for a medication to really be able to specifically tell what ingredient causes those severe side effects. Do I explain myself?

The jury isn't out yet. More studies must be done. While some recent headlines have sounded very alarming, those who did the study admit that the findings were of borderline statistical significance.
Of course news organizations skip the scientific statements of caution by the researchers to make the most frightening headline possible.

Its like alot of other things, such as what to eat and not to eat and 10 years down the road or so gee we can go back to eating eggs. Rember when they said talking on CB's causes accidents, now its cell phones.

The mass of scientific opinion seems to be that they don't.
Personally I'm not too sure, used over a number of years from childhood, who will know what damage occurs until 50 years or so have elapsed!

Maybe with some of the first generation cell phones.

Yes! It's a fact!
In the same article they also told about the radar gun resting in an officers lap causing cancer

I've heard that its' true.
Just in case it is, maybe avoid using it for long periods of time? Short calls, and only when needed.
