No one seriously has said so, to my knowledge. The 900 MHz signal is
definitely powerful enough to radiate into tissue, but its signal
falloff (inverse square law) is significant and most of its intensity
drops to nil within about six inches of the antenna.
That's at peak radiation levels -- when the phone is connecting to a
network or receiving an incoming call. Standard transmission levels are
low enough to be well within safety levels for wireless devices.
Don't tweak a ham; we know this stuff. Cellular phones' radiation can
and does penetrate the brain. What it doesn't do is cause cancer. If it
was dangerous, you'd burn your fingers whenever you touched the
antenna.
Really.
