Apart from (some of?) the Orange Smartphones (and their equivalents,
natch), is there any hard and fast rule about which, if any,
manufacturers' devices play WMA files as well as MP3?

From what I've seen so far its mostly just AAC and MP3.

You'll be safe enough with a Windows Mobile Smartphone. Apart from that, a
few Nokia smartphone are also able to play WMA files (3250, N80, N91 at
least). If you're talking about DRM protected WMA files, then i'm not even
sure if the Windows Mobile ones could play them, let alone the Nokia ones
(they can't for sure).
