by what mechanism? cellphone radios produce non-ionizing radiation

Microwaves. You can destroy DNA with wiggling, too. Also, fluctuating electromagnetic fields may change cellular processes in many ways.

if there's another proposed mode of action here, "wiggling" has been suggested, can we isolate it in some model system and characterize it before rushing to assume carcinogen status? there seems to be no causation or correlation, but decades of negative or inconclusive results

No, it seems pretty clear that people working next to a big radio antenna or radar dish get cancer, and the most frequent cellphone users too. The question is which rates we think are acceptably close to the noise threshold.

these are not comparable. and yes, people living near radar dishes get cancer. people living far away from them get cancer too. what is the amount of risk involved in using a cellphone vs, let's say... exposure to sunlight? or the heat of a hot shower?

Exactly this is what the research is meant to quantify. Incidentally, some people I know that conducted such studies insist that their kids use headphones for calling their friends. :)
