Security experts say plagues like these will target mobile phones, but others contend cell phone viruses are the tech equivalent of smallpox: To the best of anyone's knowledge, they exist only in labs.

The ability to make an emergency call has been given as the top reason for taking a cell phone when traveling, according to a survey by Mobal, the international phone company. Mobal conducted the survey of its customers after reporting an 80% increase in international cell phone purchase during 2004, and believe the results show that US citizens, although still concerned with global instabilities, are increasingly confident to travel internationally.

Spermwatch: The Cell Phone Threat 06/28/2004 11:18 AM

Although some fertility experts are dismissing the findings, a group of Hungarian scientists are claiming to have discovered a correlation between cell phone use and decreased sperm counts in men (sperm counts in women remained at normal levels). While the study only questioned 221 men, and did not take into consideration stress levels and other factors that could effect sperm levels, enough doubt has been cast on the safety of the radios to continue studying the purported condition.

Of course, everyone else basically says cellular radio waves are harmless, but running studies that claim otherwise is, if nothing else, a great way to keep the grants flowing.

The first ever computer virus that can infect mobile phones has been discovered, anti-virus software developers said today, adding that it has the potential to render many phones virtually useless. [...]

It infects the Symbian operating system that is used in several makes of mobiles, notably the Nokia brand, and propagates through the new bluetooth wireless technology that is in several new mobile phones.

Kim Komando did a nice article on buying camera phones recently. She discusses the importance of checking out the quality of the phone by reading reviews and being selective when choosing a wireless carrier. She then goes on to advise that you “try it before you buy it”. Snap some photos to see how the images turn out. Her message is clear as she explains that you need to know what to expect from your carrier and what features you are wanting from your phone.
