Symbian targeted
It could also be due to the fact that Bluetooth phones are vulnerable and the manufacturers have not been heeding warnings about the security aspect of the technology. It is using 2 aspects to copy itself across, the trust aspect of the Symbian OS as well as the bluetooth vulnerability.

Microsft phones will be targeted as well give them time, I expect the fallout could be worse with this as a user can inadvertatly transfer a phone virus to his desktop. Here comes a new source of infection.

Virus writers did this to see if they can, this is exactly what happened when the first virus was created to see if it someone can!

Let the deluge begin.....
