    The normal SEP Client cannot be installed on a phone.

    Symantec have an older, separate product for proecting Windows Mobile, but that only supported up to WP6.1 (http://www.symantec.com/endpoint-protection-mobile-edition )

    Hi,

    I believe answer is NO.

    You should use Symantec Mobile Security 7.2

    Hello,

    While there's no dedicated app specifically for WM.

    If you're looking for a way to protect Windows Mobile devices from threats that target PDA's, smartphones, etc then Symantec Endpoint Protection Mobile Edition 6 will do the trick.  &: )

    Hi Paranormal,

    The advice above is 100% accurate.  Go for Symantec Mobile Security 7.2 to protect your WM 6.5 devices.  (It's the same WM client as SEPME 6.0, but 7.2 suports Android as well.)

    In fact, many windows mobile app developers are trying to manage SEPM with Windows mobile. You should try it first with android.
