Historical: Why the 810 model number?

[oryan_dunn]

I was curious, why did Nokia/T-Mobile choose the 810 model number for this phone? The x10 models were all WP7 phones. It seems a strange choice for the only x10 WP8 phone, instead of something like 821.

Always thought it was strange too. If I remember correctly its just a variant of the 820. So 821 made sense

Esp. since they later had the 521.

I assumed it was called that since it was the successor to the first T-Mobile Windows Phone, the 710..
