Symbian Virus
Think Ewan should get writing some anti virus software.
First thought is that this kind of thing (not this one) could be far far worse that any previous epidemic. And that the first reaction of the phone companies will be to dumb down their phones massively (like "all" ROM or something).

Perhaps Ewan can enlighten us as to how safe SYmbian phones are, glad I have a palm :-)
Not to come over all geek-boy, but PalmOS5 is a classic platform to write viruses for - no memory protection, no file system security. If you can get something to execute, it can do just about anything it wants.
