Along with its new Nokia C5, Nokia unveiled its new naming convention. As had been reported before, there will be four series of devices: Nokia Cseries, Xseries, Eseries and Nseries. Within each series, numbers ranging from 1 to 9 will provide information on the range of functionality of the device – being the lowest and 9 being the highest.
This new naming convention is designed to make things easier for users, so they can quickly and easily work out where a device sits within the series and beyond that have a clearer idea of what each series does. Nseries remains the flagship and most advanced range of products. Xseries comes next and focuses on social entertainment. Eseries remains focussed on productivity and business whilst Cseries represents the core range of products.
While Nokia may have wanted to keep it simple, the Xseries could end up confusing some as it is possible that some upcoming models could have the same names as some competing Sony Ericsson devices (like the X1 and X2).
