It's the first virus to target the Series60 smartphones. All other mobile phones are not affected. As we all know, other virii might follow

You are infected if
a) someone sends you the virus via bluetooth (and you accept the installation package - dumm!)
b) you install it - even dummer!

I'd like to see comments from Symantec or McAfee or any other virus hunter..............
