Sony Phones
Posted by iphoneguru under 3g iphone, iphone, iphone accessories, iphone car kit, iphone downloads, iphone games, iphone ringtones on Friday Aug 28, 2009Most 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 last elements of such phone names also brings some kind of information.
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 number can set apart Sony phones distinguished by features but identical in design. 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. In case the name of the product includes an ‘im’ particle, then, this will refer to the i-mode branding.
There are other ways of naming Sony phones, since modern designs and formats follow a three character pattern 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. 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 usually have extensive lines of Sony phones from various generations, and buyers can select according to price tags and designs. In fact, design comes before technical improvement in most of the new models launched by various producers.
