Motorola V710
First mobile phone worm involving Bluetooth
First 'worm' aimed at mobile phones detected
I am posting this story because this worm uses Bluetooth and the V710 has Bluetooth.
What does everyone think?

Worms, like the one the article is talking about are generally aimed at operating systems, such as symbian, which is what the "cool and useful" gsm phones have, and Verizon does NOT. When somebody wastes enough time to write one for BREW, then we might have something to consider, but until then, Verizon users are safe. Kinda like owning a Mac, well not really, because verizons phones are not very functional..oh well

Actually that worm only affects Symbian Series 60 OS phones. That's primarily Nokia.
The V710 uses the Motorola Synergy OS. Motorola's only Symbian phone's are two of their 3G W-CDMA phones (the A920 and A925), and even those aren't Series 60.

Even though it's not a threat to Moto phones but for all concerned, the phone actually will ask you if you want to download and install the file. In the words of Nancy Reagan "Just say NO!"
