2 sources I read

This one mentions visiting an URL

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/14/blackberry_snooping/

Short URL - http://bit.ly/Na4OQ

This says it was a WAP push

But AFIK any legitimate program/app/update will need some user intervention
to install on a Smartphone. Do let me know if you find any facts to prove
otherwise. 

Thanks
