what security measures need to be used when using a smart phone? are there antivirus and malware programs installed with them or do you have to look after that yourself. is gps and bluetooth a liability if you dont want your movements known? can pgp or truecrypt be used to encrypt the phone itself or email like with laptops?

i think you're worrying about nothing, personally. i've owned a smartphone for a year with no problems.
