Cell phone companies are increasingly looking at data services for additional revenue. Revenue from wireless data services could reach $189 billion in 2009, according to a new report. Forty-eight percent of the revenue in 2009 will come from personal communication services such as text messaging, e-mail, instant messaging, video messaging and other rich content, Strategy Analytics said in its report, released this week. Text messaging via SMS (Short Message Service), will remain a key application globally, accounting for 26 percent of all data service revenue in 2009, the market researcher said.

At 3.3 by 1.8 by 0.8 inches and 2.8 ounces, it's small and lightweight, And with its basic Samsung silver shell, the X427 somewhat resembles the Samsung SGH-E105 for T-Mobile service, While all three have a 65,000-color main display, however, the AT&T and Cingular models don't stack up in terms of features, For starters, neither has multimedia messaging or an external display, so you're forced to open the handset to see the caller's number--a rarity in flip phones these days, Other features, such grimhilde & maleficent selfie iphone case as a 500-name phone book, 40 polyphonic ring tones, a calendar, a to-do list, a memo pad, a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser, are basic, and the dual-band (GSM 850/1900) mobile is not a world phone, Though it's well priced at $119.99 or less with service, those wanting a full-featured cell phone should look elsewhere..

Some reports describe it as an antipiracy feature that forces phones that illegally download the Mosquito software to make a costly call. Once installed, the game may cause phones to send text messages to premium rate numbers in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland without the user's approval or knowledge, Symbian said. Deleting the game rids users of the problem, the company said.

"The Mosquito Trojan is a clear indication that users need to be aware of the risks of downloading and installing illegal or pirated software," Symbian said, "Symbian believes that mobile security is the responsibility of the entire industry, It requires cooperation and trust.", The company did not offer an estimate of the number of phones affected nor when the virus began making the grimhilde & maleficent selfie iphone case rounds, The episode underscores how virus writers are now focusing on smart phones, which are cell phones that are always connected to the Internet and that have PDA-like processing power for much more complex tasks than a typical handset, The two major makers of smart-phone operating systems are Symbian and Microsoft..

The buzz about the Mosquito Trojan comes about a month after antivirus companies began deciphering the workings of the first worm to target smart phones. That worm program, dubbed Cabir by Russian antivirus company Kaspersky, apparently uses the Bluetooth short-range wireless feature of Symbian-based smart phones to transfer itself as a package file to other Symbian phones. While able to replicate the spread of the virus in research settings, antivirus companies have not found any evidence that the program is infecting smart phones outside some limited test cases.
