Our QA department has just released a public beta of Panda MobileSecure for Smartphones (here). Even though we don't consider this as a high threat arena for malicious code yet, it doesn't hurt to be prepared in case the situation changes in the future.
It scans in real-time for viruses and other threats in files, email and multimedia messages. It also includes a wireless filter that detects malware being transmited via Bluetooth or IrDA, as well as an on-demand scanner.
Currently supports Symbian OS 7.0, 7.0S, 8.0A, and 8.1. You'll need 500kb of free space. Nokia's N90 is not supported. You can download the installation package from here and configure the signature updates with username "CCF2276EGU" and password "A6D2DGVW" (Note: case sensitive. Use without quotes).
Panda Security specializes in the development of endpoint security products and is part of the WatchGuard portfolio of IT security solutions. Initially focused on the development of antivirus software, the company has since expanded its line of business to advanced cyber-security services with technology for preventing cyber-crime.

Is there any Panda AV for Pocket PC (Sony Ericsson Mobiles)in the pipe?
@Michael, not yet. We’re keeping an eye on the Pocket PC and other mobile platforms for when malware does become a real risk. However in the meantime it’s mostly just bla bla bla from other AV vendors than a real risk. If or when it becomes a risk, we’ll release a protection mechanism for it.
