Sony Ericsson W902 unveiled along with two other Walkman handsets

Three new Sony Ericsson Walkman handsets have been unveiled via an online web cast. The flagship model is the W902 that is a candybar handset that boasts a five-megapixel camera, the most powerful snapper found on a Walkman handset so far putting it on par with the manufacturer's C902 Cyber-shot phone. In addition the W902 will come boxed with an 8GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) with the ability to store more than 8,000 songs as well as data speeds of up to HSDPA.

The Sony Ericsson W595 comes with a stereo Share jack that allows you to plug in two sets of headphones meaning you can listen to your music with a friend. While not as high specced as the W902, the W595 still sports a 3.2-megapixel camera in its slider build and comes bundled with a 2GB Memory Stick Micro.

Finally, at the other end of the scale is the entry-level Sony Ericsson W302, with features including a two-megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID and 512MB Memory Stick Micro.

All three handsets are set to be available by Christmas, though pricing and retailing is yet to be confirmed. Sony Ericsson also announced that their PlayNow platform is set to be revamped in August.
