really?? i thought i had read somewhere that t630 had a better java-engine... and doesn't it has more colors on the screen?? but the design rules everything, t630 really looks like a business phone.

The T630 had a better screen (no more colours, but the original was passive and this was TFT or similar). Certainly a lot clearer, but otherwise identical.
Oh, tell a lie, I believe the T630 had some 'XL' picture mode that upscaled images to pretend it had a better camera. 1) It didn't work. 2) It made the files massive and the phone took ages to load them.
Thank god SE haven't bothered doing this on the latest phones.. 2 megapixel with XL mode 'simulating' a 12 megapixel camera. Oh, and 100 times digital zoom thrown in for good measure.

I have an idea regarding the "Z" prefix:
Clam in swedish is "mussla", often when we want to spice a word up to make it look cooler we use a "z" instead of "s", this theory gives "muZZla". Any logic to it anyone?
As for Candybar, this word donīt fit swedish at all, if the origin of it is candybar such as a pice of chocolate candy(Snickers, Mars and so on). In this case, "Candybar" is "Chokladbit".
In the end, I think that there is no meaning of the prefixes of the SE phones, although it īs a boring thought...

hi max, i have found two things about your first post
Frivig= is not a word at all, shouldn't it be frivillig(voluntary)
and for the second time, gsm is the same on swedish, you can take away the "The acronym is... i think"

Amax, sorry about my ignorance of swedish. I heard you the first time re gsm, I just haven't got around to editing that in my original post
I got frivig from an online translator, but I trust a native speaker such as yourself more than an online translator, so I will change it to frivillig
