I have never really been a fan of the iphone, I do own a 32gb i-touch though. I don't even use it to play games on or anything, just music.

So no need for using ATTs crappy service for a phone.

Anyway there is an exploit out there that can be sent to you by SMS and the only way to stop it is turn your phone off. I guess if you receive one of these texts the hacker can gain control over all your phones functions and even infect other phones. Supposedly there has been flaws with the Iphone security that Apple has not fixed and have been their since 2007!

Eh, it won't become widespread, and I'm sure it'll be patched soon.

I'm not concerned.

This exploit was patched with firmware 3.01, even though the exploit was never became widespread - just public knowledge. More importantly, this same exploit was demonstrated on both Android and Windows Mobile phones.
