Happy 3rd birthday mister Walkman phone. To celebrate, Sony Ericsson is getting official with its W902 “Patti” (pictured), W595 slider, and W302 candybar Walkman handsets. We knew the celebration was coming with the exception of Patti making a last minute substitution for Alicia. SE’s quad-band GSM/EDGE W902 is the all-singing, all-media workhorse with UMTS/HSDPA 2100 data, 5 megapixel camera, 8GB of M2 memory, and 2.2-inch, 240 x 320 pixel display. It comes bundled with a pair of premium HPM-77 headphones and the promise of a clear audio, bass-thumpin’ experience similar to that offered by SE’s W980. The W595 shares the same radios but packs in stereo speakers, 2GB of M2 memory, a 3.2 megapixel camera, motion sensing Shake control, and a stereo Share jack to split the music with a friend. The quad-band GSM/EDGE W302 neglects 3G entirely in favor of a low price tag and dreams of mass adoption. As such, it offers a number of middling specs like a 2 megapixel camera, 512MB of M2 memory, FM radio, and stereo Bluetooth. All three Walkmans will hit select markets in Q4.

Sony Ericsson warned the world just over a fortnight ago that things wouldn’t be too rosy when it came time to announce Q2 results, and rosy things are not. Even though the handset maker was hoping and praying to break even at the end of the quarter, net profits ended up falling through the floor to the tune of 97%. As predicted, weak sales of mid-to-high-end mobiles were blamed for the bulk of the bad news, and it did affirm that conditions would remain rough for the rest of the year. Granted, the looming launch of the Xperia X1 should help matters a bit, but without a new stable of low-end cellies to send to emerging markets, it’ll be a long road back to the top. Unfortunately, SE’s sagging position in the market has left it slashing 2,000 jobs across the globe, though it didn’t say exactly where the cuts would be made. It’s okay SE, there’s only one place to go when you’re laying on the bottom… or something like that.

Yet another new–candybar–phones from Sony Ericsson. Seems like they are neglecting–for a little bit–other form factors, like sliding, clamshell, or swivel. No new swivel since the last Japan-made W900. Okay, back to business, Sony Ericsson is going to announced new products on July 22. It’s two new products, W595 (codenamed Linda) and W902 (codenamed Patti, maybe this is the Walkman version of C902).
