Impossible to get one.

better question is how do you get one. Its a locked OS so you can't.

i was wondering if it was possible from installing your own themes?

I don't believe that's possible, virus' normally attach to video, music, and especially .exe files programs that need to run...I'm no techy but I'm pretty sure it's safe.

No; it's impossible.

Nothing is impossible my friend. Its just a very slim chance that a sk3 will get a virus.

I didn't say it wasn't POSSIBLE to get a virus, I said it was impossible to get pop-ups on your Sidekick 3...but okay "my friend".

It's near impossible for any SK to get a virus. The only to get a virus is to install or run bad code on your device. Seeing as how all the providers have a lockdown on what programs you can install and run on the device, we can assume that if there is any bad code in there, the provider wouldn't list that app in the catalog, therefore making it just about inconceiveable that you'd get a virus. Themes are just image, sound and text files which, no matter what anyone tells you, can NOT carry a virus. ONLY executable, compiled code can containg a virus.
