== Codenames ==
 
Do we seriously need to include every single codename for the phones? It looks really cluttered and unnecessary. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:LondonBVE2|LondonBVE2]] ([[User talk:LondonBVE2|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LondonBVE2|contribs]]) 12:36, 23 January 2013</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Done. <span style="border:1px solid #f57900;padding:1px;">[[User:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#8f5902;">[[User:ViperSnake151|ViperSnake151]]</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#fff; background:#fcaf3e;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</fontspan>]] </span> 20:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
::I redid the simplification and removed all numerical/letter codenames that are rarely used in sources. The main reason for including other names is because people who know the phones by those names won't necessarily know the names you left in the list. Also, should the HTC prefix be used in front of the phone names, or should I leave them out? - [[User:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl]] ([[User talk:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|talk]]) 00:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Actually those ''were'' codenames you just restored. The similar template for Samsung ''only'' uses the actual names that they were released under. <span style="border:1px solid #f57900;padding:1px;">[[User:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#8f5902;">[[User:ViperSnake151|ViperSnake151]]</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:ViperSnake151|<fontspan style="color:#fff; background:#fcaf3e;">&nbsp;Talk&nbsp;</fontspan>]] </span> 16:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
::::I re-added some of the other names that each device was released under (brandnames, etc). For you edit comment, WPCOMMONNAME is a problem here since many devices were released with other names in countries besides the US. If we only include the US release names, then that is giving undue weight to the US names and fails to mention the common names known in other countries. - [[User:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl]] ([[User talk:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|talk]]) 23:27, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 
== Update ==
 
HTC has a list of all current smartphones [http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/#all on the official webpage]. Should we add them in here? Or first add them on the list of Android phones, and then add them to this template after they have their own articles? - [[User:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl]] ([[User talk:M0rphzoneOjdvQ9fNJWl|talk]]) 23:44, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
