Katja, I agree with you in that we will start seeing more adware on cellphones now.
But maybe this should serve as a wake-up call to cell-phone manufacturers and phone-OS developers to include malware-blocking capabilities early on. We are still in the infant stages of mobile development, and we cannot afford to make the same mistakes MS has made with regards to malware.
The problem is that these features are not very "visible" in the eyes of management (yet). These features will not help sell the phones early on. Some browsers on the phones are starting to add the "accept/reject cookies" capability, though this is still not enough. Sadly, these features will probably not be included until there is a need for them, by which time it is already too late.

Solution: Dont bond with unknown hosts (ie, practice safe HEX :p)
Worst case scenario: Turn the damn BT off any how, it eats battery like there is no tomorow and very few people regularly use it anyhow.
