As an android user (I previously owned an iPhone 3G) I don't feel especially safe either.
I'm kind of worried by the current status of mobile securiy.
I kind of need to log on my bank account on my phone (That's why I own a 'smart' phone after all). But I really don't feel safe, I try to not install suspicious applications because I'm aware of the various risks but as someone pointed out the other day: "Given a choice between dancing pigs and security, users will pick dancing pigs every time."
Time will tell, maybe we need a Blaster/Stuxnet like event on smartphones in order to realize what's really going on.
Smartphone security feels like the Windows 9x era, let's go on the internet and pray !
