Well I would say no but as phones become more advanced and have there own OS virus's are certainly in development i would imagine.

This is a link to a news article recording a mobile virus.. Something that will no doubt be on the increase with the Symbian and Microsoft OS phones in the near future.. I heard that MS were working on an antivirus program for mobiles abut a year ago but haven’t heard much since.

At the moment it is not possible to send any kind of virus via SMS or MMS.
These messages do not have the capability to "penetrate" your phone.
They basically work as a un opened heading in an email.

Possible to get virus in P900?

I think the main factor is that anything that has internet on it can be prone to get a virus or 2. And its 2 be expected.
