NEW STUDY: Cell Phones fry brain cells
A report [1] on a research study from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel claims they have found that human brain cells show pre-cancerous changes with as little as ten minutes exposure to cell phone radiation. These findings come at a time when a number of other recent studies suggest that using cell phones may have adverse impacts on users. It's hard to know what to conclude but it would seem prudent to avoid buying phones with a high level of radiation such as those listed here [2].

The Daily Mail is not exactly what I would consider a credible source lol.
I was just reading an article yesterday that says the opposite...
Short-term mobile phone use not linked to cancer
The six-year research program, conducted by Challis, a retired professor of physics at the University of Nottingham, and other researchers has found no association between short-term (less than 10 years) mobile phone use and brain cancer.
Studies on volunteers also showed no evidence that brain function was affected by mobile phone signals.
The question as to whether long-term exposure could be hazardous to users' health is less clear as studies have so far only included a limited number of participants who have used their phones for 10 years or more, the committee said in a news release.
