Personally making use of MyCelium on Android (No iOS app yet). The new HD version was released this past week.
Tried many others but settled on MyCelium as I like what it offers.
In regards to safety..... They all say their wallets are safe and maybe they are. I would however have sleepless nights with all my coins lying in a phone wallet. I never keep more than around 0.5 in my phone wallet. Rest is kept offline and moved to the phone as required.
I agree with you. Mycelium is a good application. Tried many others but settled on MyCelium as I like what it offers.

Just started using green address, great wallet and very easy to use. Good security with 2fa.
Personally, I don't trust cell phone wallets. Better keep it in a proper wallet with backup or paper wallet if you are too paranoid or if you have large amounts of BTC. I would keep smallish amounts on cell phone wallets like less than 0.5 btc.
We've been working on a user-friendly Bitcoin wallet for Android called Bitdash, and we just published it to the Play Store a couple of days ago.
It supports sending to multiple addresses at once and you can setup a PIN code to protect spending. There's no upper limit to the number of digits a PIN can have, but it has to be at least 4 digits.
You can check it out at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bitdash.wallet.

I have never try install a wallet on my smart phone.
The safety of phone always bothers me.
By "safety" do you mean the possibility of the phone being lost or stolen? If that's the concern, make sure you lock the wallet with a PIN. When you discover the phone missing, restore your wallet from the paper backup and transfer the bitcoin to a new wallet, with a new private key. The safety of phone always bothers me.
Or are you concerned about the possibility of the phone being hacked?
Wrong, you can have 10 possible integers for each space. 10x10x10x10 is 10,000 combinations!
I'm using mycelium which is the best wallet to me after trying a number of products.
I do not have a smartphone right now. 
Impossible? Believe it?

You are of course right
Mycelium / Hibe / Blockchain is good wallet app
But, personally i think Blockchain is the best among them
But, you need add second password to your blockchain wallet, because PIN is too easy to hack

Anyone think using a blackberry offeres me more security?
Wouldn't trust them on Android (not because of the app specifically).
Wouldn't trust them on a Jailbroken iPhone
Would trust on a non-jailbroken iPhone if it was secured with a code + remote wipe functionality via iCloud (not backed up via iCloud though)
You are very correct on the first two. If you are using an app for an android phone or a jailbroken iPhone then the app will likely have not been vetted from anyone (and is difficult to know for sure that you are downloading from who you think you are downloading from, AFAIK you cannot verify a GPG signature from a smartphone.

There have been instances in the past when an android wallet would generate new private keys with a faulty RNG, making it possible for the creators of the wallet to have a much smaller set of private keys that the phones could have generated, making it easy for them to steal from the wallet owners
blockchain wallet seems to be more secured.
but i still feel unsafe, I don't think blockchain is perfect, at least not now.
