  The article said it was MS-Windows malware that was stored on the
mass storage side of the phone's memory.  The malware was harmless to
the phone's internal OS.  So it didn't have anything to do with it
being a "web-based phone".  It could have happened with a USB flash
drive.

  There were some iPods that shipped with malware on their hard disks
a few years back.  One of them showed up here at %WORK%; set off the
AV when someone plugged it in as a mass storage device.
