While the hand feeling could easily be attributed to the battery
discharge warmth, the feeling around the ears is more difficult to
ascribe to the batteries.

Umm... many cell phones get noticeably warm over time due to internal
power dissipation. (In fact, the amount of heat generated by the
battery is negligible compared to the heat generator by, e.g., the RF
power amplifiers, the digital circuitry, etc.)

Strange, I could have said just that!. Oh wait, I did. Look, it is easy
for a person's hand to get warm and attribute it to battery warmth. I
trust you are not ascribing the same for an area that the phone isn't
touching? That is easy to check for, as the hand would be heated by
conduction, and the area around the ear that isn't being touched would be
radiative heat. Other wise there would be a significant thermal gradient.



How many studies have been done looking for beneficial health outcomes
from the use of cell phones?

Probably none. The reason why is that the studies are looking for effect
in general, not positive or negative ones. To look for a specific
positive or negative from the start is more in line with creation
science.

Like wine and alcohol in moderation are
now considered to be!

It is easy to find out the effects of alcohol. Lots of studies. And they
found out a lot of things they didn't expect, such as keeping the blood
vessels clean, and other more obvious things such as stress
relief/relaxation in moderation.

I'm certain that if some positive result is found, we'll hear about it.

When "it" gets hot pop the battery off - now, which is hot the battery or
the phone?
