I need a new phone. Someone sell me on the iPhone. AND what type is best. 3G? 4G? Holysh*tG?

I use it for texting mainly. Calls, of course. And I'm interested in doing more with pics. Looking info up for work and customers. Not so much on the games or having a thousand apps.

Not true. http://www.zdnet.com.au/mac-os-x-hac...-139241748.htm

All OSes have at some point or another gotten a virus, been "hacked" (I hate that term -- it's more accurate to say compromised or attacked since some "hackers", of the traditional white-hat variant, actually look to fix systems), or <insert attack vector here>.

The only way to truly ensure a secure system is to take away the biggest cause of compromise: the human being operating it.
