Anti-virus vendor Fortinet has issued a warning about a worm that spreads via MMS to phones running the Symbian S60 handset operating system.

 

This seems to only effect S60 2nd edition phones. The newer 3rd edition phones such as the N95,N81,N73.... are not effected.

 

Hah, will never affect me, I have used low end phones since I started using Mobile phones. I see very little use for "smart phones" as I have a laptop and Desktop. My current phone and all previous phones have been years old, all I need are calls and text.
I guess it is inevitable that viruses will penetrate the mobile market as smart phones become more widely adopted.

 

alot of phones uses S60 does not matter if it was free or not, so not sure what your point is
