This article made me think twice whether to keep ON my cell phone's bluetooth connectivity:

The worm program, dubbed Cabir by Russian antivirus company Kaspersky, apparently uses the Bluetooth short-range wireless feature of smart phones that run the Symbian operating system to detect other Symbian phones, and then transfers itself to the new host as a package file.

More details at Silicon.com news, reported by Robert Lemos.

Meanwhile, speaking of cell phone, after I activated Smart international roaming sevice on N-Gage this morning, I packed it along with some stuffs requested by my son. The person taking the package is leaving, hopefully, either on Thursday or Friday. But, before handling over the package, I asked my sister to test if the service has been activated already. To my dismay, once she turned the power on, it has no network signal!

Series of efforts were made to discuss the matter with Hotline *888 and 8881111. Upon checking the mobile number on their system, the requested service is already activated but, why Smart's network signal had been lost, they advised me to check the unit with the dealer. Switching of phones and sim cards is not possible because she got loads of work to do. My sister held the package for the time being, it's necessary that the unit and the sim card must be checked tomorrow.

I forgot somehow to tell them that the unit model was Nokia N-Gage, it might have something to do with Smart's limited features for this gamedeck phone???
