Weaknesses of Mobile Phone Web Browsers

One of the 'cool features' of mobile phone Web browsers is the ability to initiate a phone call by clicking on a link.

It is very slick and convenient. Phones with Internet access and Web browsers, like the Apple iPhone, may be susceptible to a new generation of phishing attacks based off of this functionality though.
