Sony, originator of the vastly successful Walkman portable music devices, has resurrected the title for use in their new series of phones intended to do a little bit of everything. The new W902i Walkman phone is a music-oriented handset that plays tunes, takes photos, and displays video on a scratch-resistant 2.2-inch QVGA display.
The W902i will deliver music through sony Ericsson's audio service and will come packaged with Sony Ericsson premium headphones (HPM-77) right in the box.
In addition to the 5.0 mega pixel W902i (shown), Sony will be simultaneously releasing two more affordable models: The W595a, which will offer a 3.2 mega pixel camera, and the W302i with a 2.0 mega pixel.
All of the units are set for release in the 4th quarter of 2008.

Comparing the Sony range to the new Nokia Xpress, I prefer Sony due to the greater lengths you can go to manipulating the equaliser.
