Answers to your questions :) 1)(where designed to carry) donno, other then issues of fragility (see IPhone in your comments) I think just about anywhere you'd be willing to risk mild electro-magnetic radiation exposure shouldn't be a problem.
2)Belt Clip failures - Too many to number, but I'm a big guy and a lot of stress goes on my belt area when I'm not standing ... I've seen skinny folks with holsters that looks like they're as old as I am, so I guess that's a body type issue and not a design one (like fitting into airline seats)
3) I've taken to wearing carpenter pants (jeans) as often as possible, there's a small tool pocket on the right leg that's perfect for my cell phone (Casio G'zOne ruggedized phone, I've put this poor thing through the washer 3 times and it's still 100% functional).
Unasked for advise: if you get a smart phone, decide now if having a replacable battery is an issue for you. Most rechargables start to fade after a year to 18 months and if you have a phone that you can't change the battery on, you're eventually going to get stuck with a phone that spends most of it's time on the charger.
