It was probably the same with quite a few of the old-style Windows-based viruses (look how quickly the I-Love-You virus spread, you had to manually run that one), so I can see this being similar.

Hmmmmmm well, if a random aplication got sent to me via bluetooth, there is no way on earth that I'd install something that randomly got sent to me... But then again, there are lots of idiots who download crap off the interent...

not really, because most applications/ games or anything like that, when you install it, most of them say the file is unknown.

Have heard quite a few people talking about "bluejacking", but anyone with a bluetooth-enabled phone may want to read through this worrying story:
