Wifi, whether on a mobile/cell device like a phone, or a more traditional device like a laptop or computer, s Wifi... All the same issues exist for either. Basic issues pertaining to your scenario:
Sniffing - Someone else sits on the wifi network relative to you and sniffs any unsecured (non SSL, for instance) traffic.
Device Scanning and profile - Someone network local scans and profiles your device using something like nmap.
DoS - Someone can flood your device with traffic in some manner that denies network usage. Mobile devices have few abilities to detect and manage such.
MITM Attacks - Rogue APs, Rogue DNS servers... someone sets up a Man-in-the-Middle attack scenario that corrupts trusts such as SSL.
