Much prefer  's current letterings than Nokia's.
lettering format is well organized as it is.

I know some of you guys like the codename for the SE phones. The "theme" now is female tenisplayer ranked in ATP.
I believe that when Motorola released Razr and started that trend, it was quite innovative. You could learn a lot from this since the name implies what the phone brings. The normal system now with a letter which does imply in some way what kind of phone it is, followed by numbers are too traditional.
I wouldn't mind having a name that I called Sophia 
It is more personal and gives the phone a closer relationship with the users.
For instance I know people that call their dog
"carrot" it is weird but you can't argue the relationship between the owner and the dog. |

I think nokia's nomenclature scores over se in that the higher you go the costlier (few exceptions) it gets. Whileas se has parallel branches. W, K ...

And also nokia has well defined series like s30, s40, s60 etc. and versions to aid in product description.

aatiuf, nokia is a mess compared to . The Nseries is fine, they're all all high end and over priced. The E series is business, simple. And then there is the endless maze of four numers which don't have any logoc anymore. 6290 is a smartphone almost like the N71 but they won't tell you that because it's cheaper than the N71, basically everything is a mess with phones stepping on their brothers' toes and nobody really getting it. Like the 6233, its the successor of the 6230/i, so why not 6250, that was a rugged version of the 6210, 6260 smatphone and flip. 6270 slider 2g, 6280 slider 3g, riddled with bugs 6288 to cover embaressment, 6270 a clamshell smartphone that won't be marketed as a smartphone to not hurt expensive siblings. So what does 6233 do when its gets old, it gets a 6233 1/2 as a replacement as 6234 was a brother and 6235 has to be saved for next year. And you'll say wow you know alot about nokia but the 62xx line is probably the only one I actually know everything else is a blur. is like naming for dummies in comparisson.
I don't want a signature anymore. |

Ok agreed. Prudent rightly points out that phone names should also bring a sense of belonging to the user.
