Don't know why it doesn't work, and I've no samba server to test

I can add that you don't really need a samba server for this issue to trigger, as long as you try to use the smb:// protocol, even without arguments, it will display the invalid protocol error.

I can confirm this.
After upgrading to kde 4.10.2 smb KIO slave is missing. Try smb:// in konqueror and it will add http://. It's not recognized as a KIO slave. Try sbm:/server.address in dolphin's address bar (you don't need to have samba server in your network) and it will try to open default web browser to navigate to "http://smb:/server.adrress" because it is recognized as a web address.

I tried other KIO slaves such as trash:/, man:/ bookmarks:/, applications:/ etc and it seems that only smb is missing. Yesterday with kde 4.10.1 everything was ok.

BTW, I am not sure whether this is a bug or an upstream change but kinfocenter used to have a list of available KIO slaves under "protocols" subcategory. Today I tried to look there for smb:/ but I can't find "protocols".

Affects me too.

Same here. Tried yesterday from the testing repo and had the same thing, reverted thinking maybe there was something wrong with samba4 or cifs-utils from the testing. Now official has the same problem.

Same here, dolphin can't open the smb address anymore since i've upgraded to Kde 4.10.2.

I can also confirm this. Dolphin and Krusader are not able to use smb protocol since update to KDE 4.10.2
