I have seen a few warnings about this and other virus's,so i did a test once on busy bus one morning and pretended to send a picture via bluetooth just to see how many peoples phones it would pick up.I was quite suprised to find i had picked up about 8 peoples phones who had bluetooth switched on.I hear they swap the name of their own phones to something like nokia update etc so when sent the message would read nokia update trying to send you a message etc and possibly accepting it without thinking only to download the virus.
Next time your on any form of busy transport or in a busy area such as a shopping centre etc try it and you will be amazed of the amount of devices you pick up.......©..®..(TM) NothingVentured.
