Maybe the Z is more of a pictograph rather than standing for something because if you look at the letter Z it has a hinge in the middle.
I know its not perfect because theres an extra bit at the botto but what do you think.

I alway thought that Z is relating to the shape. Although it was not 100% since Z is zigging.

Zipping - like Zippo! Yes! That might be the trick!

yeah, I reckon the Z relates to shape or sound, not an actual word.
@Amax, does the zip sound start with Z in swedish?

Well, maybe the Z was just "adopted" from Sony's previous cell phone clamshell line Z5, ZM25, Z7 etc...
The same as the "J" line. I had the Sony J5 and it was an awesome phone.

I wondered about the numerals also, but it's almost certainly something to do with how full featured the phones is. The higher the number the more features and the more high end the phone is.
900 Top of the Line
800 High end
700 High end
600 Mid Range
500 Mid Range
300 Low end
200 Low end
100 bottom of the line
The "10" seems to indicate an extra over the original, for example S710, W810 are edge phones, but otherwise similar to the S700 and W800. K610 has memory exapansion, otherwise similar to K600. P910 was a P900 with some major improvements.
The "30" seems to indicate a phone that is identical to it's predecessor but with different styling, example the T610/T630
The "50" seems to indicate the phone is the highest end phone in it's class, for example the K750 is the best imaging phone available, the W950 is the best walkman phone available. Don't know how the 90 of the P990 fit into that though.

"20" seems to be like 30.
