sounds a bit funny to me, same way a Microsoft based virus can't infect a linux box can't see how one could infect a nokia and Motorola etcv as they use different O/S's

My phone runs Windows Mobile so I wouldnt't be suprised if there will soon be a bout of virus's spreading over this when someone figures out how to send & execute via SMS/MMS on it

It is more than true, it is very common. Its a gang related game, first person to flash them to tell them to turn on their lights gets followed and shot with air rifles etc. It came to me through a very high source in MOD who warned us against doing it.
