Phone Antibiotics

Slate tells us that if your cell phone gets infected with the Cabir virus, "you've earned it." That is, you have to actively allow your phone to accept the virus in order for it to be on your Bluetooth-enabled, Symbian Series 60 platform cellphone. I happen to have such a phone, but my biggest worry about my phone isn't that it would get a virus, it's that somehow the bastards at Cingular, would charge me a new "virus maintenance fee."
