Have heard quite a few people talking about "bluejacking", but anyone with a bluetooth-enabled phone may want to read through this worrying story:

Nope, but I bet if somone wanted to they could make it do some damage... Guess they are just testing the waters for a Symbian virus...

You get asked twice if you want to accept the file and install, need to be a bit of a tit for it to work

not really, because most applications/ games or anything like that, when you install it, most of them say the file is unknown.

Hmmmmmm well, if a random aplication got sent to me via bluetooth, there is no way on earth that I'd install something that randomly got sent to me... But then again, there are lots of idiots who download crap off the interent...

It was probably the same with quite a few of the old-style Windows-based viruses (look how quickly the I-Love-You virus spread, you had to manually run that one), so I can see this being similar.
