API to get the friendly name of your Windows Phone 8 device?

Is there any way to get the name of your phone? The name that you see in the properties of Windows Explorer as the name of the device?

I looked at Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceName , but it looks like something else. I looked at DeviceExtendedProperties , but now this is no longer recommended.

The phone asks for this name during setup. I can also see this name and change it in WinRT settings for WP8. But I do not see a way to get it by API.

(I would like this name to pass it to a web service displaying a list of devices)

I don’t think there is anything in the core API that will allow you to do this, possibly due to security issues!

This will give you the name of the manufacturer and model. For my Nokia Lumia 930, these NOKIA RM-1045_1044 magazines are not the friendliest names, but they allow you to distinguish between devices.

var deviceInformation = new Windows.Security.ExchangeActiveSyncProvisioning.EasClientDeviceInformation();
console.log(deviceInformation.systemSku);
