Sadly, SonyEricsson have done much the same. I have seen more then one release from them in the past that was 2-3 phones with basically the same internals, a somewhat different external, and firmwares that was interchangeable but did different things.

Two examples i have owned was the Z710 that could take the firmware from the W710 and get the better media player, or the C702 (my current phone) vs the c902 where the latter would have a firmware that allowed the flash to behave as, well, a flash (rather then a flashlight)...
