There's plenty of research that shows that electromagnetic waves can effect behavior. There's even a new brain therapy called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which some insurance companies will pay for: http://www.portfolio.mvm.ed.ac.uk/studentwebs/session2/group10/HowTMSworks.htm The point is that cell phones and other electrical devices give off RANDOM electromagnetic signals: random in power and random in frequency so you can't predict what effect, if any, they will have without a LOT of research. However, anyone who suggests that they can't possibly have an effect is pretty darned ignorant, IMHO.
