Most of us have difficulties at remembering cell phone names, because every company has its own way of denominating products. Sony Ericsson items for instance rely on a combination of letters and figures as a name for their mobiles. In an example like K750i, the capital letter represents the series of the Sony phones, while the remaining characters have each an attached meaning. Thus, the first figure defines the sub-category, the third indicates the progression made from the former product release while the last can either be a 0 or an 8. The closing specifications also tell something about Sony phones.
Whether an 8 or a 0, such characters in the names of Sony phones refer to the product peculiarity when produced for a foreign market. number can set apart. distinguished by features but identical in design. The final lowercase letter designates the market for which the Sony phones models are produced: thus, the ‘i’ represents the international brand, ‘a’ is for America and ‘c’ for China. The i-mode branding is designated by the ‘im’ particle present in the title of the phone.
There are other ways of naming Sony phones, since more recent designs and formats follow a pattern made of three characters such as the P1i for instance. The capital letter tells the series of the phone, the number refers to progression as related to the previous releases and just as in the above model, the lowercase letter describes the target market. Sony phones often receive code names when a certain technological process is set as an objective. Most such names are taken from the female tennis player for which Sony Ericsson is a sponsor. For more details on the code names, you should access the lists of names available on various web pages.
The information encoded in the names of Sony phones is not easy to decipher by the average buyer who knows nothing of previous models, series or sub-series. Retailers will always have a large gallery of products including older models as well as the latest, and people keep guiding their choices after design and price tag. In fact, design comes before technical improvement in most of the new models launched by various producers.
