Cell phones definitely have difficult names to remember, and each company uses a specific denomination for its products. Sony Ericsson makes no difference from other major producers as most of the formats used for naming mobile items rely on five or six characters with both letters and figures. There is a specific meaning attached to every character in the title of Sony phones: the initial stands for the phone series, and this feature is general. Then, the next figure represents the subcategory, the third defines progression from the last released item while the final character is either an 8 or a 0. 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. Or, a Sony phones that have identical technical features but different designs. The lowercase letter designates the market for which the Sony phones models are produced: thus, there will be ‘a’ for the America, ‘c’ for China and ‘i’ for the international market. 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 formats or design follow a pattern made of three characters such as the P1i for instance. The series of the phone is represented by the initial, the number tells the development from previous models while the lowercase letter indicates the market. Code names are also attributed to Sony phones particularly to those that are in the process of development or improvement. Most such names are taken from the female tennis player for which Sony Ericsson is a sponsor. You can find lists with such code names on all sorts of web pages if you are interested in the topic.
Although lots of people would find it a lot easier to understand the differences between various Sony phones just by looking at their names, many buyers don’t know how to interpret such information. 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, these are also the elements that producers work on when releasing a new model, even if technical superiority is also touched upon.
