Sony Ericsson Naming Scheme

2008 February 25, Filled in : tips, 0 comments

Have you ever questioning the meaning behind Sony Ericsson mobile phone's name? what's with the 'k' in k750 or maybe with the 'w'. Well it seem like Sony Ericsson will have a new naming scheme for future handsets.  It will have a new G-series (which mean Generation Web), the new G-series are G700 and G900, also will have R-series which is Radio series, the new R-series are R300 and R306.

Talking about new naming scheme, it won't change the 'letter and 3 number' format, here some of the meaning of the letter

  • C == Cybershot phone
  • R == Radio Phone
  • W ==Walkman Series

 

while the first number is  the range of the handset, 9 for high end and 1 for the low end. The second number will be phone version, while the third number will stand for handset's form factor

  • 0-2 --> candybar
  • 3-5 -->slider
  • 6-8 -->clamshell
  • 9 for other.

 

hope it can help you clear up some confusion about Sony Ericsson naming scheme.

Here's  another tips for your Nokia Mobile Phone. To get an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) to your Nokia mobile phone , you can type a *#06# , and then after that will come up a bunch number which is your IMEI mobile phone number.

IMEI Number

IMEI number is a number that unique to every GSM and UMTS mobile phone,  unlike the Electronic Serial Number or MEID of CDMA, IMEI location is on the device instead on  SIM card, so basically it can't be transferred to other device.

The functionality of IMEI number is to identify valid devices, so again in theory if your device is stolen, you can  contact your network provider and tell them to stop the phone with specific IMEI number. This will make the phone useless even if the SIM card is changed.

 

So that I believe it's important to have your IMEI number, so that in case your mobile phone is stolen, your phone will completely useless.
