Wait, wtf. Heat IS radiation. (a type)

A physicist already shot it down. It appears to be a viral campaign for (or against) the Nokia or Sony brand.

Well what I meant was that the cell phones obviously wouldn't be able to generate enough radiation to actually produce the heat equivalent to that of a microwave.
if that were true, then you would cook yourself by putting your hand next to several phones.

Obviously fake i mean cell phone=microwave? DOES NOT COMPUTE!

It's possible. Apple is now marketing the iPopper attachments to their iPhones to keep ahead of the competition. That way Apple patrons can have their phones out during movies and not seem rude.

You sure about that? I think heat radiates, but I don't know if it IS radiation...
there you go., symbolized by Q, is energy transferred from one body or system to another due to a difference in temperature.[1][2] In thermodynamics, the quantity TdS is used as a representative measure of heat, which is the absolute temperature of an object multiplied by the differential quantity of a system's entropy measured at the boundary of the object. Heat can flow spontaneously from an object with a high temperature to an object with a lower temperature. The transfer of heat from one object to another object with an equal or higher temperature can happen only with the aid of a heat pump. High temperature bodies, which often result in high rates of heat transfer, can be created by chemical reactions (such as burning), nuclear reactions (such as fusion taking place inside the Sun), electromagnetic dissipation (as in electric stoves), or mechanical dissipation (such as friction). Heat can be transferred between objects by radiation, conduction and convection. Temperature is used as a measure of the internal energy or enthalpy, that is the level of elementary motion giving rise to heat transfer. Heat can only be transferred between objects, or areas within an object, with different temperatures (as given by the zeroth law of thermodynamics), and then, in the absence of work, only in the direction of the colder body (as per the second law of thermodynamics). The temperature and phase of a substance subject to heat transfer are determined by latent heat and heat capacity. A related term is thermal energy, loosely defined as the energy of a body that increases with its temperature.
