yeah, I reckon the Z relates to shape or sound, not an actual word.
@Amax, does the zip sound start with Z in swedish?

Well of course. Upon that reasoning the M must be for Max and the W for Wedge 
Amax, the zip sound is the sound made by a zipper, I don't know the swedish word, but the thing that you close your jacket with.

The K600 has a crappy cam? Why would it have the K name unless it was for kandybar? |

The S-series hasn't been scrapped, but the S600 was changed to the W550i when they added the WALKMAN to it. The W900 also emerged from an ordinary phone that would have probably been an S-series if that hadn't been given a makeover last minute.

The K600 has a 1.3 MP cam which was the biggest camera apart from the S700 available in it's day. It came out just after the K700, which only has a vga camera. So if a K700 can be a Kamera phone so can a K600.
However if you are right (and candybar in swedish starts with a k - I don't see why they would use a K if they are not using swedish names), then maybe the prefix's are the phone's form factor in swedish?
w=walkman
p=pda
k=kandybar (swedish for candybar?)
s=sno (swedish for twist)
z=clamshell (due to the shape of the letter Z)
However if it's form factor that determines the prefix, then J, T, F, would be K series phones. I really think the K is related to imaging somehow.

that isn't really correct, there is no "kandybar"-word, the swedish word for candybar is.... man i dont know!! maybe it's kloss, tegelsten, klump, but i doupt it. Its more likely the k stands for kamera (camera in english) and for the clamshell.... i dont know.

I wondered about the numerals also,
The "10" seems to indicate an extra ...

if you compare them http://www.esato.com/phones/index.php/phone=42,cp=74 you will see that the t610 is superior in everything. Basically the t600 only feature has wap, and the t610 has everything, cam, bluetooth, color screen and much more. but then you also have the t630 which kicks the shit out of both of them together

actually, the T630 is no different to the T610. It has exactly the same specs. The T630 has a more modern look, but that's all.

really?? i thought i had read somewhere that t630 had a better java-engine... and doesn't it has more colors on the screen?? but the design rules everything, t630 really looks like a business phone.

The T630 had a better screen (no more colours, but the original was passive and this was TFT or similar). Certainly a lot clearer, but otherwise identical.
Oh, tell a lie, I believe the T630 had some 'XL' picture mode that upscaled images to pretend it had a better camera. 1) It didn't work. 2) It made the files massive and the phone took ages to load them.
Thank god SE haven't bothered doing this on the latest phones.. 2 megapixel with XL mode 'simulating' a 12 megapixel camera. Oh, and 100 times digital zoom thrown in for good measure.

I have an idea regarding the "Z" prefix:
Clam in swedish is "mussla", often when we want to spice a word up to make it look cooler we use a "z" instead of "s", this theory gives "muZZla". Any logic to it anyone?
As for Candybar, this word donīt fit swedish at all, if the origin of it is candybar such as a pice of chocolate candy(Snickers, Mars and so on). In this case, "Candybar" is "Chokladbit".
In the end, I think that there is no meaning of the prefixes of the SE phones, although it īs a boring thought... |
