I've had my iPhone for forever, and I finally got around to the financial iPhone apps.
Of course, there's a Fidelity app. It lets you trade stocks and such. But... It doesn't let you do Billpay or anything like that, and you have to sign in every. single. time. Ugh. That's a pain if you have a password as secure as mine. I guess it makes sense if somebody picks up your phone you don't want them stock trading (though it would just be within your account?). But for me it's worthless.
Same thing with Vanguard, which doesn't even remember my username.
But my killer app is Morningstar! It's totally sweet! You can make a Morningstar portfolio for free, and it has all kinds of charts and analysis and historical stuff on the full function website. On the iPhone app, I can see how the portfolio is doing, and I'm always logged in! And if someone were to hack in it, there's nothing to buy or sell. If I were a more active trader, I would probably even use the paid Morningstar features, but I'm not there just yet.

I love my iphone, but I don't use it for any PF stuff. I just do a lot of blog reading on it!
Why does everyone have an iphone? I totally want one but will wait it out until next year.
I'm currently on a prepaid plan so that is working well for me. Although it's so cool to have apps and internet service with you at your finger tip.
I know mint.com has an app. I would totally get that since I use their service.
well i normally use my iPhone only for getting latest news,playing iPhone gamesand for wether informations BUT not for finance purposes or trading.................
