Well you've not been looking too hard, first through on the search engines is:
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/31/who.cell.phones/index.html
Loooking round the many many reports on the subject - you'll find two
themes - "evidence of" and "no clear evidence of". There have been no
peer reviewed reports entirely refuting a link between cancer and
phone use. Being of Bayesian influence, and baring in mind that radio
waves, and all EMRs in sufficient doses do tend to cause cancer, I
would say the link was pretty likely.
Cheers,
Ben
