As a mobile gaming enthusiast, I have to acknowledge all the other platforms and it would be hard for me to say the iPhone is the best hands down. What I will say, is that the iPhone has done the industry a huge service by showing people that gaming on a phone can be fun.

The other way, is to go through Bplay or some 3rd party site and spend a ton of time messing around with credit card details.
