Otherwise what in three or four years were gonna be at G7 G8 G9 and hopefully never G10. It's just ridiculous if they want to build a solid brand with naming that is similar so people know it is a line just go with the G Phone and that way people will always use the same name, like iPhone. Imagine that! They do it now with the Sidekick. They aren't numbered anymore they are just the Sidekick (2008 model). I think that would be wayyyy easier. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeremy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2009 7:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile market testing terrible names for the HTC Magic / Sapphire]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/08/t-mobile-market-testing-terrible-names-for-the-htc-magic-sapph/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/08/t-mobile-market-testing-terrible-names-for-the-htc-magic-sapph/</guid><description><![CDATA[They're using the "3G" term because of the successful marketing that Apple made with the iPhone 3G...as you may recall, Verizon didn't start calling their network "3G" until the saturation of Apple's ads hit a critical mark.  The point I'm trying to make is "3G" sounds like "now and hot" to consumers.  Anything even remotely close to "G2" or "2G" immediately sounds "old"...therefore, they're just jumping on the 3G branding bandwagon so as to take advantage of what most consumers already know.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jerry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2009 11:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on T-Mobile market testing terrible names for the HTC Magic / Sapphire]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/08/t-mobile-market-testing-terrible-names-for-the-htc-magic-sapph/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/08/t-mobile-market-testing-terrible-names-for-the-htc-magic-sapph/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why not the "Quark" in honor to Feynman; or the "mc2" or the "Styx" (the river souls have to cross to get into hell" . <br>Or military names such as the "Centurion" "legionair" "Admiral".<br> Or Astrological: the "Geminy" "Akvaryus" "Zenith"  "Solstice" "eclipse" (eclypse?)
