I've been wondering, why is it that some blackberries have names (ie, Curve, Pearl) and others just numbers (ie 7250, 8830 etc)? Why not give them all neat names?

Pearl - 1st real consumer device
Curve - Hybrid consumer/business device
previously they were pretty much all just business devices. speaking as a business user, and as one of the worst addicted, i dont much care for the names, i usually use the model number anyway. there are many curves and many pearls, so just saying the handle wont clarify anything
To show users that Curve is really special....
The curve has a full QWERTY keyboard. The pearl has 2 letters per button, and wears quickly. They both have the guide ball, and work with the same programs.
The better buy is the Curve hands down.
Just to make it even more confusing, manufacturers and carriers often assign "code names" to the devices in the pre-launch phases, in the mistaken belief that this will keep information about the new devices from leaking prematurely-thus we have had "Indigo", Papa Bear", Bagheera", etc.

Ahh so they are codenames, but then how and why do they stick?

I agree with Sith on this one as well. I prefer using the model number over the names. As he mentioned someone could say that have the curve, but which one do they have? the 8300, 8310, etc.?
