New research suggests they may. A 2.4-year-long study of 300 people from Britain, Australia and the Netherlands found slower brain function in frequent cellphone users.

PC Magazine has the full story in layman’s terms. The journal story is a bit more complex, probably too complex for cellphone users like me. I plan to spend my time thinking simple thoughts and waiting for my new Amish overlords.
