Yeah, we can't handle metric measuring systems either

TabletPhone works for me.

Then you can have the version numbers after. E.g.
  • TabletPhone 900
  • TabletPhone 910
  • etc

You could then just use Tablet for the non-phones
  • Tablet 770
  • Tablet 800
  • Tablet 810

Also, wasn't an "X" series just trademarked by Nokia?
I am trying to find the link...

About the X, AFAIK, due to its use in aeronautics for prototypes (X-1, X-29), the use on a device/car/whatever tries to suggest its use of advanced, bleeding edge tech.

It also connotes prototypes... many of which crash.

Suddenly it makes sense why Nokia named Nokia 810 n810

I'm sure Nokia have a few of their Nokia trademarks that haven't been used yet, or can be recycled.

Personally I like the sound of the Nokia Dirk Dagger. The Nokia Friendstalk sounds a bit creepy.
