Thanks Mick for your response and all above information.
One more thing to inform you that we only require AV/AS for all this OS (Symbain, Blackberry, Apple and Android) for all unamange phone devices for our CEO and managers.
Can you please let me know If we can do anything with our existing liceses of SPS EE?

I'm afraid I don't have any visibility into that area- I recommend that you get in touch with your sales contact and make queries there. They're most familiar with what licenses and packages are in place for which markets, etc etc.
One way or another: do make sure that your smartphones are protected. Symantec is discovering new threats for these mobile platforms more and more often.
