Hi Ro
Good questions!
On 'standby' mobile phones don't only listen but transmit at FULL
POWER at regular intervals (actual interval depends on who your
service is with) so that their system knows at all times who has
mobiles 'on-standby' and where you are within a few tens of metres!
This is necessary so that if a call comes in for you they can 
direct it directly to you and not clog up the whole network with
a generalised "paging call" - which would jam the network if done
for many people.

On my measurements you can get very high 900/1800MHz signal voltage
levels right at the earpiece on a hands-free kit which is effectively
the unterminated end of a long-wire antenna. There is not much 
actual POWER at that point but if, as many of us think, it isn't
just a matter of thermal power but of information signalling that
scews the user's brain then it isn't something I would want to
use - unles it was well 'decoupled' with UHF ferrites.

Get a GOOD screened case (eg http://www.microshield.co.uk)
Use you mobile for short essential calls only.

Cheers
Alasdair
