ZDnet: Is spam behind a cell-phone virus?

Uhg. It just gets worse. A few weeks ago, I reported a new phenomenon for me: IM spam. It's gotten to the point that I'm now getting about a dozen a day of these.

Now users are reporting a text message spam on cell phones that is apparently a malicious virus that erases your address book and otherwise disables people's cell phone features. I think jail time for spammers is a great idea.
