Additional Details
Bluetooth-Worm:SymbOS/Cabir.B is a minor variant of Bluetooth-Worm:SymbOS/Cabir.A; the only significant difference is that the Cabir.B displays the text "Caribe-VZ/29a" on the start dialog when the worm first or when the phone reboots (Cabir.A displays "Caribe").
There is also repacked version of Cabir.B that is packed into an SIS file which installs the worm into different directory and shows a text popup at SIS install. This is not a new variant however, as the worm executables are fully identical to the original Cabir.B; all differences are due to settings in the repacked SIS file.
