<WP8 Developing Learning Notes > getting the most common models for phones (such as Lumia920, not RM-822)

Before the WP7 era can use the API to get WP phone models such as lumia510, but to the WP8 after the API can only get hardware version number such as RM-822, this model allows us to more detailed understanding of the specific hardware version, such as Ching and Hong Kong, the device version number is different (but I do not remember the ╮ (╯-╰) ╭), a support 4G, one does not support, but the model is Lumia920, this may be the consideration of Microsoft.

But when we only want to use the mobile phone model, we find that there is no API, it is really troublesome.

I found a mobile phone model converter on GitHub, Phonenameresolver, address https://github.com/Aureate-Sunshine/PhoneNameResolver

It can translate the device version number into a common model.

Using this function, the acquired vendor and device version number is passed in to get a Canonicalphonename object,

 Public Static Canonicalphonename Resolve (stringstring model)

This object contains the following properties

 Public classCanonicalphonename { Public stringReportedmanufacturer {Get;Set; }  Public stringReportedmodel {Get;Set; }  Public stringCanonicalmanufacturer {Get;Set; }  Public stringCanonicalmodel {Get;Set; }  Public stringComments {Get;Set; }  Public BOOLisresolved {Get;Set; }  Public stringFullcanonicalname {Get{returnCanonicalmanufacturer +" "+Canonicalmodel;} } } 

To show a model like lumia920, get his Canonicalmodel , and Fullcanonicalname is the full model of the Nokia Lumia 920.
