It would be really helfpul for manufacturers to stamp the model id on the phone. I have a model number under my Motorola phone battery that in no way resembles the model name. This seems like a pretty obvious solution. That way, the customer can just open their phone and get the information themselves.
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!"
