Can viruses affect more basic phones?

It would be good for the article to answer this question: Can viruses affect more basic phones? E.g. one that doesn't have bluetooth. Australian PC World, Sept 06 (p84), says that unsecured bluetooth are the most common infection route, and refer to work by Mikko Hyppoenen.

What other infection routes are there? --Singkong2005 ^talk 03:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging with Computer Virus

A mobile phone virus is a computer virus. Modern mobile phones are computers. They are not PCs, but they are computers. --User:freeeekyyy 2:15, 14 January 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.96.122 (talk)

This article is redundant

Anything that is valid in this article also needs to be included in the article about Computer Viruses although there may be information in that article that doesn't belong in this one. Therefore, this article is redundant. Kernel.package (talk) 22:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It also happens to be a misnomer since the virus isn't what is mobile. (Not even animal viruses are mobile despite being distributed in wind or water.) Kernel.package (talk) 22:38, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
