You may worry about your phone pumping out 1W of power. Did you know what GSM telcos in HK are allowed to blast up to 10W of power per square meter? This is not an issue on 900Mhz, 1.8Ghz, but when you are on (3G) 2.1Ghz, you are getting pretty close to frequencies that cook you... And even if they don't cook you (the body has great cool mechanism), who knows that the long term impact is to your cells. 3G is very good for us.
Then you have wifi, 2.4Ghz, which will cook you if you have enough watage. Everyone is using it, shoving a laptop on you groin that does wifi also is not consider unsafe, but do we know? 100 years ago we did now that bathing with Uranium salts was not good. We have come by leaps and bounds but, I take the conservative view that we don't know everything.
Go on the Cisco website and look at the health hazard prevention measures. I sell tonnes of networking equipment to the ISPs in HK. We don't have wifi in the office, nor do I have it at home. The day I have kids, they will be getting wired on cat5.
Finally we have P4 cpus cranking sucking up 60W of power a again 2.4Ghz (also known as a low power microwave). Whilst in the US many PC's have to pass FCC regulations of radiation leakage in HK when you buy a hand built clone there are no regulations.
Paranoid? I think myself as someone who is conservative.
