Sony Ericsson "Patti" phone shows itself, gets renamed W902
A single shot of Sony Ericsson's "Patti" candybar phone was apparently making the rounds earlier this week, but a helpful member of the SE4M forums has now thankfully provided a whole batch of pics, as well as word that the phone has now been officially dubbed the W902. Apart from the 5-megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, however, this one looks to be a pretty standard SE handset, with it boasting all the usual Walkman-related features and tried and true design you've come to expect. No word on a release just yet, but you can at least get a good look at it by hitting up the link below.

Malikye @ Jul 11th 2008 12:16PM

Not an iPhone, therefore totally redundant. However there is one thing that is really awesome about this handset and that is it's .......

I organize everything into two categories - iPhones & non-iPhones.

I like Sony Ericsson phones, I recently got a used w810i and have been more than pleased with it. I like how their menu system is intuitive like my old Nokia.

Ask for one for free.

Wow. A K850 w/ a W810. Those designers are really working overtime.

With the spewing-crap load of apple news lately I'm more excited about this than the iPhone. Honestly, paying $67/mo MORE than my current plan hardly seems worth it. I'll buy that gsxr1000 I've been eying up instead.
Ris @ Jul 11th 2008 11:48AM
Patti is my surname, I kid you not

I don't know after using smartphones, I can seem to get back on using regular candy bar phones. But yea its nice change of pace to see something other than the iphone news
chyan @ Jul 11th 2008 12:16PM
It looks quite ordinary ain't it? But th e camera? holy cow, amazing.
K-series = W-series = brilliant

Are those some decent keys on my SonyEricsson?
More likely than you think.
But seriously, good keys on a SE phone are extremely rare, so I'm glad once for a change.

They need to do something about their interface it is really dated and boring. I remember the one from my T610i and it is pretty much the same...
THJ @ Jul 11th 2008 12:45PM
Awesome, looks just like my T610
plwh888 @ Jul 11th 2008 1:52PM
thanks God somethng different from iPhone.
Honestly I have given up on Sony Ericsson, their camera on G800, C902 and C702 are total craps... though I'm still lusting over their upcoming C905 8mp cameraphone =)
Nokia camera are way much better.

patti means dog in Malayalam(official Language of the Indian state Kerala).
So I am sure they changed the name keeping in mind this community. :-P
Nitecrawlah2 @ Jul 11th 2008 2:19PM
The design seems like the same old from Sony Ericsson, and the interface looks like that as well. That 5 MP autofocus though is incredible... if the pics come out looking as good as they should.
naz @ Jul 11th 2008 3:01PM
hopefully 5mp camera will become the standard soon, but i think it'll take ages for that to happen.
BradS @ Jul 14th 2008 9:41AM
According to the picture is comes packaged in a burlap sack.
erebus @ Sep 26th 2008 2:20PM
