Mobile Phone Virus

Seemingly there are technologies now available which makes it possible to infect mobile phones(well only certain new state of the art ones anyway) with viruses

I got a text yesterday and when i went to read it my phone crashed so i took out the battery and when i tried to read my text again all but eight of my texts had been deleted, including the one i hadnt read yet...i dont even know who sent it. That sucked. I bet a virus would suck more though.

That virus is the same as most virus's though and are propogated by stupid people executing files they know nothing about.

The first cell phone virus would have happened ages ago if 90% of cell phones used the same architecture and OS. Whatever system you give that dominance, it will always have stupid people exploiting it (or poor configuration thereof).

A few weeks ago, my phone royally fucked up, and wouldnt turn on or anything. I thook it to a big fat man, and he said i needed new software in it, and charged me Â£20. I lost all my numbers, and txts, and games and pictures and tones and EVERYTHING.

I used to have tetris on my phone

i miss it

I'm retro with the 3310 same as I_Got_a_Mohawk.
Improving technology is a bugger sometimes.

I've got a 3310 as well, it's started monging up in the past few weeks though. Sometimes when I go to view a text, the screen blanks, and won't come back up again. I have to leave it switched off for an hour or two before I can read texts again. It's fucking annoying.

I think it might be overheating or something... I tried putting it on the windowsil for ages, and that seemed to stop it for a while.l

I had a 3310 and it kept cocking up, so i had to get a new one. Which cocked up.
