I found this on the howard forums:
Differences between m, mc, w, z, d, c, lx & s
These are the letters you see at the end of Ericsson's phones names... T28w, T39mc, T18d, for example. Here are the differences:

Example: T28w, R380w
z:

s:
GSM (900/1800)
Works in Europe and Asia.
Example: T28s, R380s, R320s
d:

Works in North America.

Understand gatevitalīs definition. My understanding regrading the serial numbering, GH family is for gsm900 handset, PH is gsm1800 handset. GF is 900 and PF is 1800 with filps. GA is low end gsm900. SH(S) is gsm900/1800 dualband. \"I\" is 900/1900. Thatīs the prefix munbering rule before \"T\", \"R\" series. We all know about T18/T28/T29/T39/T65 and R320/R380/R520/R600...

You have proberly seen this before, but in chinese 4 when writen looks like the symbol for death, 5 is nothing , 8 is good luck , 6 is money that is why they went from t39 to t60 with out using t4x or t5x. The letter at the end refers to the bands used m is triband t39m for example s for 900 and 1800 gsm a2618s for example, e for chinese .

I thought Sony was a Japanese company, not Chinese!
I don't know where my phone is made,
but my Battery is Made in Japan and finished in Malaysia.

Sony may be Japanese (not sure) but it makes sense they would try to avoid naming their phone something that would not go down well in one of their target countries.
Wasn't it Ford who released a car which meant something really dodgy in another language?

Just coming to think of it, actually WHICH part of the new

phones is made by Sony? I suppose the polyphonic ringtones for starters, anything else?
The menu system is Ericsson based, so are the buttons (YES & NO).
How about the joystick??
PS: The new

phones don't have suffixes anymore, i.e. T100, 200 300, 600, 310, 610, P800, etc...

China big country with big poplulation, why slow sales by using 4 and 5, no mobile phones are sold in china with a 4 in the name.
