Mobile Phone Virus

Just as we can no longer say, as we once did, that you can't catch a computer virus simply by reading your email (remember those good old days?), we can now no longer say that cell phone viruses don't exist. They do. That doesn't mean, however, that you can believe everything you read in forwarded emails on the subject, which predate the real thing by at least five years and impart spectacularly unhelpful misinformation.
