Well, I only considered the energy in the range of 1 cm. A cell phone puts out about 100 mW peak of which you get about half with it hung in your ear. In ten seconds, you get about half a joule of radiation. The CBE at 1 cm is on the order of an erg which is 10^-7 joule. I didn't bother to calculate the steradians occupied by your head.
So yes, there are many variables. Have your read _Cell_ by Stephen King? Helluva an experiment we are performing on ourselves.
