Nokia makes a lot of phones so this naming convention is the easiest for consumers to remember and distinguish phones from each other. And those phones I've mentioned are the best-selling mobile phones of all time. But I won't be surprised if you don't recognize them since you're from the US.

My thought process is possibly a product of the fact that Nokia was never really a thing in the US, I agree. And I guess we will agree to disagree but I think it is outdated. I'm obviously seeing it from the perspective of a US consumer but I feel that Nokia's nomenclature system is consumer unfriendly. You can infer that one model is better (and more expensive than others) by the larger number but I feel that the average consumer isn't going to bother to remember all of these numbers. Which brings me to my next point...

And in the first place, Nokia currently has 2 lines of phones the Asha and the Lumia just like Samsung has the Note and the S.

Take a dam seat
You obviously don't understand what I'm trying to communicate. There is a distinct difference from the iPhone 4 and 5. Logic says that 5 comes after 4 and that the iPhone 5 is the subsequent iteration of the smartphone. If I say I have the Lumia 920, I can just imagine the eyes glazing over tbh. I don't expect the average consumer to memorize what the difference is between the 900, 920, 925, 928 and neither should Nokia. It's a plausible nomenclature system for them since they do have so many phones but lol @ their flagship being regulated to "1520"
It's just so bland and doesn't catch the eye. And I do think naming of a phone is an important part of marketing and brand image.

I recognize it, but not by name.
that's one of the main reasons holding me back, I'd love a Lumia with iPhone's app store. I currently have a BB Z10 so you can imagine my desperation...
I'm getting a 920, selling my boring iPhone. 
. This Lumia will probably have it out of the box.
