The idea of a security app for Windows Mobile was not a very convincing one in the past but when we hear about new security vulnerability on Windows Mobile devices, we have to give more priority for security related apps for Windows Mobile. Flexilis is one of our favorite in this category. They have responded to the new vulnerability very quickly, the latest version will detect and delete the ” Phone Creeper ” app which gave us Windows Mobile users a security. ( a fix for version 0.6 will be rolled out soon ).

Along with the Anti-Virus and Firewall app, Flexilis also provides a module for Backup , this module will let you back up your contacts and photos. You can also transfer your data to a new phone.
The Anti-Theft Module in Flexilis enables you to respond when your device is lost or stolen. Locate your device, sound an alarm, wipe your personal information, remotely from the web.

The best part of this is all of this is for FREE and if you find a new security flaw with your device you can also let the Flexilis team know about it.

Microsoft has released a beta of Phone Data Manager, a utility designed to backup select data ( contacts, music, video and photos )on your Windows Mobile phone (or other SyncML/OBEX standard compliant handset) so you can restore it with ease. The beta works both with Windows Live Contacts and a Windows PC.

Its not a complete Backup solution,but does offer some benefits. Contacts are saved on to Windows Live, while media files are stored in a folder on your Windows XP or Vista PC. In order for you to synchronize contacts, you will need to have a Windows Live ID (any Hotmail ID is a valid Windows Live ID). If you do not have one, you will be prompted to create one while you use the application.

Download it from Microsoft’s Website
