Hutchison 3's flagship
"X-Series" platform of data-enabled goodies is missing a pretty critical piece of the puzzle -- Windows Mobile support -- but it now looks like the carrier plans to add it with a bang. Despite seeing a
Vodafone-branded unit some time ago, MoDaCo reports that 3 is positioning itself to pick up a period of exclusivity on the upcoming
Motorola Q9h (exclusivity which we assume will be limited to the UK, or perhaps Europe) to launch Windows Mobile support for X-Series. Of course, once 3 has bothered to gather all the apps necessary to take X-Series to the Microsoft camp, it only stands to reason that the Q9h will become just the first in a line of Windows Mobile phones to rock it, so if you're on 3 and the Q9h isn't quite your cup of tea (we can't blame you), sit tight.

3 also operates in Australia, so they'd presumably get an exclusive here too.

The original Q software stack was written by a bunch of rookies. I'm amazed it even shipped with the quality problems it had.
But the Q9 software was written by experienced devs and it has actually set records for reliability within Microsoft. It's unfortunate that it's inheriting the Q name since it certainly isn't inheriting anything else from it.
