Canadian carrier Fido has discretely launched the Samsung Jack (their version of the BlackJack II which was previously an exclusive to rival network Rogers Wireless) and the Motorola Q9h, both running Windows Mobile 6. Each device has HSDPA and a full QWERTY keyboard for push-email and messaging.
The Motorola lacks the Jack’s GPS, and both have 2-megapixel cameras, support Bluetooth with the A2DP stereo audio profile and are quadband GSM for international use.
Bargain hunters will be disappointed to hear that the Samsung Jack on Fido is actually more expensive than with Rogers ($225 Canadian versus $199.99 Canadian, both with a whopping three-year contract). The Motorola Q9h is priced from $275, again with a three-year contract.

“….BlackJack II which was previously an exclusive to rival network Rogers Wireless”
Fido and Rogers are hardly rivals. Rogers purchased Fido several years ago.
If someone has this phone, you can install GPS tracking software on it so you will know where your phone is in real time (i.e. when you lose it or if someone is “borrowing it” and you want to know where they are). The software and the web service are free.
