Nokia Phone Gets Virus Protection

wan-fu writes "After all that talk about bluetooth vulnerabilities and mobile phone virii there will finally be a mobile phone with virus protection. Nokia's 6670 smart phone will be released in October and features software from F-Secure. Perhaps this will raise the eyebrows of some other mobile phone manufacturers to step up and increase their security policies for their phones' operating systems."

    you want a phone you can't install any apps on?

    would you buy a computer you can't install any applications on, essentially making it virus free in the process?

    (the so called virus out there now relies on _user_ installing the program he receives from a stranger. however, email has taught us that people _are_ that stupid.)
