Most people don't know what they're accepting. Probably that's how the virus has spread so far. Remember the days when people opened .pif files in emails, or even executables, when they were launching programes called dialer.exe? They just didn't know what they were opening. And it's almost the same now.
Not all smartphone users are actually smart phone users...
We need more blogs like the one in the first comment, to tell the world to STOP keeping those bluetooth connections discoverable and STOP accepting any files, just like they seem to finally do with mail nowadays.
