Can a java game/application, ringtone etc contain a virus? Uploading it to your phone may cause it to crash or erase phone information? Anyone know of this happening? :(

I don't think so 'cause the firmware is too simple to allow a virus in a game, that is a sub-program.
It's a think, not a sure answer.

No, I'd have to agree. I haven't heard of uploaded java files causing crashes.

Overall, since I'm not a java Nokia programmer, I wouldn't be able to say for sure, but I imagine it's fairly secure, since Nokia realised this could be a problem, they fixed it up before release.

Then again, nothing is ever 100% secure...I'm sure someone will eventually find an exploit to wreck someones phone :(

Cheers
