Details:

HOW IT SPREADS Commwarrior spreads via Bluetooth connections or through
text messages that also include pictures, video or audio clips. It could
affect cellphones that run on Symbian Series 60 operating software. The
virus tries to transfer files to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. It also
automatically sends messages to cellphones and e-mail addresses obtained
in the infected phone's contact list.
WHAT IT DOES Drains battery power and a racks up fees for the sent
messages.

This is apparently only a threat if your phone is running the Symbian
Series 60 operating software. Examples for cellphones based on that OS are
here:

this OS, but I am not 100% sure)
