From the Errata Security report: "...we think the iPhone is inherently more secure than competing smartphones (such as those based on Windows Mobile or Symbian)"
Upshot is, virtually ALL phones have more or less serious bugs in them, most of which NEVER get fixed by the network operators. However, by synching your iPhone to iTunes every time you charge it up, and with Software Update updating iTunes automatically, it's likely that any bugs in the iPhone will be patched pretty quickly and seamlessly.
