I think it's worth being jumpy...
I haven't installed anything on my new X50v yet, but it would seem to me if you are a user who connects and uses a corporate network that there is risk of the X50v either being infected from another machine or worse the X50v caring infection to the corporate side. I understand that the windows mobile O/S is differant than desktop clients, but just like both can share web pages i think there is an opening or risk. Particularly with a device that has multiple forms of connections such as Wi/Fi BT and IR, if somebody left there stuff on it wouldn't be difficult to have something dropped on it.
For example you hear of peoples phonelist being lifted from there phones..
I agree the risk is lower than the epidemic on the desktop, but just because it doesn't get alot of press doesn't mean it isn't or wont happen.
The solution is easy if you are infected, simply restore from your current back-up and sync. I just see a risk in the potential to seed a network with a worm or virii. That said i haven't gotten anything running on mine yet. Maybe i am just over paranoid?
