Vodafone sells two different versions of the K3565:

• K3565-H which is a Huawei E160X (Rev.2 models carry the hardware ID "K3565", "Rev.2" is printed on the back of the device)
• K3565-Z which is produced by ZTE

Those two version are not only produced by two different companies, but they are also technically total different. Since the K3565-Z was introduced by Vodafone only in 2009, the earlier version from Huawei was only designated K3565 (without "-H").
