A new mobile antivirus arrives on the scene today, new as in it being a mobile version.  However, NOD 32 aka ESET is a very well known windows desktop antivirus.  With the onset of s60v3 and the new signing security, catching a virus is rare and I personally do not see a need for an antivirus. 

But for peace of mind, particularly for users that may have freed their phone to make it "friendly" aka hacked, it may be worthwhile to install this extra security option.  An antivirus comes in particulary handy for those occasions that you may connect your mobile to a pc via bluetooth or data cable that would put it at the risk of a virus.

ESET Mobile Antivirus contains the following feature:

• Activation – performed online via graphic user interface
• Archive Scanning – variable in-depth scanning of archives
• Heuristics – pioneering proactive protection for mobile platforms
• Logs and Statistics – provides information about scanning tasks and virus signature database status as well as a report on scanning history
• On-Access Scanning – scans newly-created and opened files; scanning of files received via Bluetooth, IR and Wi-Fi
• On-Demand Scanning – scans running processes and storage (including specific subfolders); standardized logs
• Quarantine – infected objects can be deleted or moved to a quarantine folder; once in quarantine, objects can be deleted or restored
• Updates – updates can be performed automatically on a daily (default), weekly or monthly schedule, or performed manually by the user on an on-demand basis
• User Interface – friendly, easy-to-use user interface
