There's always the question of baseband, for example, but regardless of it and 
many other things, the attack surface is much, much, much smaller. You *won't* 
be keeping your e-mails, full contacts info, etc., on the phone, simply 
because it is unable to cater for such a use. Hence, you will be this much 
safer, at the very least.
