Okay, not to put too fine a point on it, but this is possibly the
silliest reason ever for choosing one phone over another. Cell phone
communications are transmitted via radio, and are trivial to eavesdrop
on with the right equipment. If you're actually worried about this
possibility (and I can't really imagine why anyone would be), then you
need not to use cell phones. In fact, you probably need to use nothing
but randomly-selected _pay_ phones.

There is a rather large difference between over-the-air security, which is debatable, and the phone being able to be remotely turned on without the users knowledge, to act as a bug.
