5.8GHz cordless phones "safe" for human use?

[RB]

Is there any scientific or otherwise "official" or "semi-official"
information to conjecture that this is going "too high" on the
frequency band for human use?

I believe that it may be safer than the 2.4 GHz phones. Your
microwave oven works at 2GHZ because that is the best frequency to
heat up water - your head is full of water.

So at 5GHz, you are much higher than the (resonance?) frequency of
water molecules. Does this make it safer? According to my ignorant
knowledge - yes.

But for better safty, use digital phones. Analog phones tend to be
designed to have higher transmit power - more energy to cook your
brain.

These cordless phones, including cell phones are at very low power in
relation to the power requirement to have any dangerous effect.

I and my family have been using cell phones since they have been on
the market. This is since about 1985 or so. We use a lot of time on
these for our business, and personal use.

The possible dangers with these phones is very contraversal, and this
seems to be an on going argument.

If you want to be critical, the older analog cordless phones required
even more power, thus if anything, these would be the ones to avoid
using.
