gee, I wonder what marketing wizard at Nokia figured out that product names like “Chocolate” are more powerful in the market than “7360″.

Nokia to baptize phones by name rather than number – Yahoo! News:
the world’s top handset maker, said on Thursday it will give new phone models a name rather than a number, following the success of rivals with model names like RAZR and “chocolate.”
