Nokia to give phone names, instead of numbers

Great news! Engadget reports that the end of Nokia's phone numbering soup is near. Nokia will be giving their phones names instead of numbers, following the success of Motorola's RAZR and LG's Chocolate phones.

"What you will see coming from us in the future is not just a numbering system, you are going to start to see names that carry a meaning and are important to consumers," - Keith Pardy, head of marketing at Nokia, said during a webcast from an Citigroup's investor meeting in New York."
