Since its first "proof-of-concept" variant appeared, Cabir.A, until the present Cabir.H and Cabir.I, this virus has been reported in 13 countries, showing that even if its spreading is slow, that doesn't mean it's negligible. Sure, it doesn't spread by sending itself to all the people in your address book, it spreads by toothing any symbian smartphone in its reach, but as people have opened .pif, .exe and .vbs files in emails in the past, they're probably accepting and installing cabir' SIS files as I write.
Some guy called Freakadget has started a blog on mobile security, and you can get the facts AND the solutions for Cabir and subscribe to RSS alerts on mobile threats on this new mobile security blog, http://securemyphone.blogspot.com
Kudos to him, and to anyone that helps the fight against mobile viruses.
