Softbank's device numbering follows rules like Series(7,8,9,X)-Model(0,1,2,3)-Model(0,1,2,3)-Manufacturer(SHarp,Toshiba,Panasonic,HTc,NoKia...) . 922SH means 9 series(higher-end) model 22, supplied from Sharp. All smartphones are in X series like X02HT. Though has exceptional 705NK named before Vodafone leaves country, so 9 implies Keitai(no native apps). This manner was ruled after NTT docomo's mainstream i-mode numbering, which comes in Manufacturer-Series(7,8,9)-Series(0-9?)-Generation(1-6)-i-Option form, for example P906i,SH903iTV or F884i(Raku-raku-phone IV). Smartphones are numbered Manufacturer-1-Generations-00, such as F1100 or M1000. Manufacturer code may differ in carriers.
