Phones Example:

Make                 Model
iPhone              3G
iPhone              3GS
iPhone              5
Nokia                3110
Nokia                Asha 300
LG                    L7

...I hope you get the drift?

Make is the name of the *maker* and model is a description of the *version* of device that the maker has produced. By the model you can determine year of manufacture, type(s) of technology incorporated in the device, features etc relatively easily.

For example, my first mobile phone was a Nokia 5110 - the last Nokia I owned was a Nokia E5; in between the two I probably had about 12-15 Nokia handsets (different models). Point being, the difference in terms of features/capabilities/technologies was phenomenal.

Therefore if I'm trying to sell a device (as the author of this thread intended) I will try to give as much technical detail or at a minimum, the make *and* model so that anyone interested can do their own further research and determine whether or not the device suits them.

Apologies for the long answer :)
