Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
FYI "SO" is the prefix that DoCoMo uses for Sony.
D = Mitsubishi (which means "3 Diamonds," hence "D")
P = Panasonic
SH = Sharp
N = NEC
NM = Nokia
F = Fujitsu
etc.
Less than half of the people owning these phones actually know who made it.
