Windows Phone 7 hasn’t been out long and according to the http://nvd.nist.gov Windows Phone 7 does not have any vulnerabilities, but it is likely that there will a few or more, but since there isn’t any data, let’s skip Windows Phone 7 for now.
What about Android and iPhone, do phones have vulnerabilities?
iPhone currently has only 5 vulnerability over the past three months, all medium to low, Android shown below the Apple list:
CVE-2010-4552
Summary: Memory leak in IBM Lotus Notes Traveler before 8.5.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon outage) by sending many embedded objects in e-mail messages for iPhone clients. Published: 12/16/2010 CVSS Severity: 5.0 (MEDIUM) CVE-2010-4548 Summary: IBM Lotus Notes Traveler before 8.5.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by accepting a meeting invitation with an iNotes client and then accepting this meeting invitation with an iPhone client.

Android though, has 19 vulnerabilities over the past three months ranging from High to Low:
Summary: The Symantec Norton Mobile Security application 1.0 Beta for Android records setup details, possibly including wipe/lock credentials, in the device logs, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by leveraging the ability of a separate crafted application to read these logs.
