From the statement: 'These facts along with the lack of an established mechanism of action and supporting animal data makes the Hardell et al's finding difficult to interpret.'

    will be very hard when there is a billion dollar industry based on cellphones

    Don't worry - if it's not the cell phone that kills you, the guy talking on one while driving into your lane - will.

    I think you'll find that's an artifact of the length of the study. Longer term studies are difficult because comparatively few people have been using mobile phones for longer than 10 years.
