I agree there is no problem using numbers within a category (though it's still ugly) but across categories I think it's madness.

Even washing machine manufacturers tend to have some letter prefix to their product codes to distinguish between a washing machine and a toaster.

Oh, i see what you mean. I overlooked that (and apparently so did Nokia ppl). Using Lumia for a phone AND a tablet is just confusing...

Samsung Uses "Galaxy" with multiple categories, but they also add "Tab" or "S" to distinguish. Nokia should consider that.
