Sony Ericsson W902 is the next high-end Walkman phone that the Swedish-Japanese company is preparing for mobile users across the globe. The handset, also known under the codename Sony Ericsson Patti, was not yet announced by the company, but it has been spotted in several live pictures.

W902 is built on the same hardware platform as the C902 Cyber-shot, thus we could say that it's the Walkman version of C902. We can see in the available images (first appeared on the SE4m forum) that, as the Cyber-shot phone, W902 comes in a candybar form factor and it's very slim, probably measuring around 10 millimeters in thickness. When it comes to its overall look, the W902 seems a mix between the W890 and K630 handsets, both being already released by Sony Ericsson.

The new Walkman handset is the first from SE's music-oriented family of devices to pack a 5 Megapixel photo camera, which also features flash and auto focus, so it should offer pictures at a high quality.

A nice thing about the new W902 is that it comes with music dedicated keys on its left side - somehow resembling the keys integrated by Nokia into its XpressMusic phones.

The rest of the features that W902 offers are currently unknown, but we should expect them to be similar to the ones packed in the C902. Even more, since it's a Walkman phone, the W902 should also have advanced music capabilities. Hopefully, a big internal memory is included too.

The W902 should be officially presented by Sony Ericsson on July 22, together with the W595 model and another handset, unnamed yet.

Most probably, the new W902 will be commercially available before the year's end, for a retail price similar to the one of C902 (hence around 500 USD).
