From what I can see X-Series is a tariff add-on to particular phones. I
cant see why they would not allow the tariff on other compatible
phones, but in their wisdom they have decided not to. I have the
X-Series N73 and there is no branding of X-Series on it, except for the
box it came in and te applications pre-loaded. Existing N73 users can
download the packages and subsceibe to X-Series.
