New Sony Ericsson naming scheme

According to m-one from se-world, Sony Ericsson will be changing their naming scheme to something a bit more sophisticated. The name will still be in the same format as before, a letter followed by 3 numbers. Only now, all the characters have a meaning. The following chart pretty much sums it up.

The first letter represents the series.
C = Cyber-shot
W = Walkman
S = Snapshot (not swivel like in the S700 or style like in the S500)

The second slot is occupied by a number and indicates whether the phone is high, mid or low end. 9 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.

I didn't quite understand the third slot (it's in German) except that it's something to do with versions.

The fourth and last slot indicates the form factor of the device.
0/1/2 = candybar
3/5 = slider
6/7/8 = clamshell
9 = other form factors
