A phone and a microwave aren't comparable. A microwave contains an extremely focused emitter.
It's the difference between staring at an LED light and a Class 3B or Class 4 laser.
That laser will burn right through your cornea but you could affix the LED directly to the surface of your eye without any measurable ill effect.

- kakarot 8y agoEven though your proposition is outside of the scope of typical cell phone use, I would likely live just as long as I would have lived without it, given that its radiation is A) non-ionizing and B) not focused. As an example, you could spend 14 hours a day in the sun to no ill effect, but only about two minutes with a magnifying glass focusing sun rays onto your forehead.
