Somebody has a lot of time on their hands.
This is the type of situation I had in mind which would require a tool like Sisscan. Apparently the set of 52 trojans consists of a number of previously known trojans(Fontal?) and a few new items.
Running a scan on a suspect SIS file would give you an indication of how much of the file consists of Cabir variants. :) It would also help in avoiding running some of them more troublesome malware. Your standard on-demand AV scanner does the same thing albeit with more flexible identification methods and a bit more overhead. AV firms tend to already have similar lightweight analysis tools in house.
An AV firm whose specialty is Symbian malware has reported having the samples as of Monday, it is now Thursday. This set of trojans has even slowed their pace. If the trend keeps up their might be more demand for 'Mobile Phone Virus Researchers'.
