One of the first results claims that using the internet resulted in a larger decrease to sperm count than using a cell phone.
And all of the studies that claimed to show a link between cell phone use and decreased sperm were based on surveys of patients at fertility clinics, or were based on subjecting rat testicles to 1000x the amount of radiation that a human would encounter in the real world.
You may want to rethink your citations.

I'm not saying it's the only cause, just that it's one of them. They're not exactly going to blast human testicles with radiation. These sort of animal tests and surveys (couple with clinical evaluation) are standard practice for many medical research topics.
Where do you see the radiation level being 1000x? I see various studies using real cell phones on the market for between 2 and 6 hours per day.
