To the extent that other studies have found such links in the past, I'm curious how much is due to pure correlation: ie, people who own cell phones and also engage in other behavior that increases the risk of cancer. This would also be much more relevant in the days when only a few early adopters owned mobiles, as opposed to now, when practically everybody does.
