It was said in the papers today that the iphone will be attacked and your phone can be taken control off, the hackers can use up your credits, texts your friends ,copy your contacts and even take pictures. The virus is said to come as a text.
Apple is yet to reply to this but it is assumed they are working hard to solve it so maybe the solution will be in the next update.
However, I read the hacking is not coming anytime soon so there is nothing to worry about now and since it has been exposed it will limit its effect. In my view if you have really personal stuffs on your phone or use it more for business, try the blackberry or Htc . No device is secured but risks can be minimal and if you do like to change phones every 2 months then you can go for the cect i68, its cheap, takes 2 sim cards at a time, almost like your iphone only without the apple logo :P

HTC : htc europe
Cect i68 : lavacomp
