Apparently, Sony Ericsson will be changing their naming scheme while keeping the “letter plus three numbers” format at the same time. The chart above pretty much sums it up. Let’s recap:
- First letter represent the series. “C” is for Cyber-shot, “W” for Walkman, “S” for snapshot, “X” for Xperia. What’s “G” for?
- The second slot shows where the phone is placed in the overall range. 9 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.
- Third slot is kinda confusing one – it’s something with the model version. “Succession models are listed” says Google Translate. If anyone knows more about it, please comment bellow.
- Finally, the last slot indicates the form factor of the device. 0-2 is used for candybar, 2-5 for slider, 6-8 for clamshell, and 9 for other form factors.
The problem remains, though, for all handset makers. Today’s high-end is tomorrow’s mid-range phone. How will that affect the naming scheme? Maybe a new letter could be used for new devices? Something like “SW” for Super-Walkman.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
