That is such a lame excuse for a worm... a) you have to agree to install it, and b) it only works on devices in bluetooth range (so like 50 feet). PLUS, it is a Symbian worm, which are only the higher end devices right now.

BUT, it does make the point. I've developed some Symbian software, and you could really screw some stuff up with it. They give you access to dial the phone, answer it, send text messages, read/write the phone book etc...

How about one that sends text messages to everyone in your contact book telling them to download a new game? (the game being a trojan of course)... or one that repeatedly texts premium rate numbers...

It's going to fuck the operators bigtime pretty soon, and the Microsoft devices are going to be even worse.

Should be fun!
