    Nope. Being security conscious, BlueTooth is disabled. (Actually, Nokia
    did a good job keeping BT and IrDA disabled by default until you need
    it.) Also, a port scan when connected to Wifi didn't show any surface
    to scratch on. That leaves attacks via email and MM-SMS messages.

    A greater risk are those shoulder surfers ;)

    Cheers,
    Frank
