Most Windows Mobile Devices are shipping today with 6.5- most of these listed don't support 6.5 (Norton and McAfee don't support 6.5 and don't have a timeline for it either). I am doing a Beta with Kaspersky on my personal PDA, 2 weeks- so far so good. Gotta wonder when the other A/V vendors will catch up with the device Market and support the more current OS.
I use my Nokia E72 only for email, IM (Nimbuzz), Google Maps / GPS, as a 3G modem for a laptop, camera, a little occasional news browsing... nothing that would ever let any virus get close. I don't really see any need to spend money on this.

Basically, with a 3G connection, your phone is connected directly to the Internet (probably behind NAT or whatever unless you have a special arrangement with the carrier for VPN). If there's no current exploits for mobile browsers it's probably only a matter of time before someone embeds malicious code onto websites.

Nice review, but I think the list is not complete.
For example, I am missing Avast. Lookout and AVG.
