Sony Ericsson slaps Walkman logo on X8, renames it W8

Take one Xperia X8 , add a touch of color, paint a “W” on it and, voilà, you’ve gotten the primary Walkman phone running Android — the W8. We’re not seeing it at the US Sony Ericsson site yet, but a fast visit to the corporate’s German page reveals the decidedly low-end specs: a three-inch, 320 x 480 touchscreen, a 600MHz processor, 168MB of RAM and Android 2.1. The W8 might not recapture the luster the Walkman brand enjoyed in its TPS-L2 heyday, but a minimum of it’ll update your Twitter status. Gallery below.
