I am pretty sure that wildcard support on Windows Mobile came in with one of 
the version 5 updates, not sure which though. Due to the way that different 
devices got different versions most people tend to say Windows Mobile 6 or 
higher because that was the first version to support them in all variants. 

For other platforms, it is hit and miss. I know some Nokia's do support 
wildcard certificates, but I know that Blackberry doesn't NOT like the Digicert 
wildcard - which is connected to the root that they use. 

Although I personally don't use wildcards in any of my Exchange deployments. I 
have used wildcards for web sites, but on Exchange, I want to use SSL with TLS 
and not all non-Microsoft MTAs can use them.

Godaddy wildcard certs work just fine. The challenge is whether or not the 
handheld device supports wildcard certs. Windows Mobile 6.0 and above do, for 
sure. I don't know about older versions of WinMo or any other platform.

Simon probably does, if he's hanging around today.

Has anyone had any bad experiences of Wildcard Certificates and Exchange 2003 
and Exchange 2010?

Essentially the Digicert wildcard certificates seem to get universally good 
feedback as they also allow you to consolidate all your existing individual 
certs and specify SAN's should you need to, however good old Godaddy are 
offering wildcard certs at a crazy price where it's cheap to buy a wildcard and 
if it did present problems just buy a UCC/SAN cert solely for our Exchange box.

It seems a bit of a gray area when you get to handhelds (Nokia, iPhone mainly) 
whether wildcard certs present any issues.

Thanks in advance.
