If Sony Ericsson’s addict music lovers choose the Walkman phone series, I believe Nokia fans would go for the 3250.

The Commwarrior.C is capable of spreading over Bluetooth, MMS and MMC cards that are inserted into an infected phone. Upon infection, it tries to change the operator logo to it’s own.
