The image above shows a W850 in the Norwegian Dutch Sony Ericsson site, but it’s probably fake. The image on the right shows a whitened K790 that looks really nice, but it’s most probably fake. Other couple of photos inside this article show a K800 with slightly redesigned speaker and it’s box, but they are totally 100% fake. All these pics may be fake, but that doesn’t mean that the rumour of a Walkman branded model based on the K790 can be true. After all, the K790 has all the Walkman capabilities and it would be an inexpensive way for Sony Ericsson of selling the phone in music related stores in which otherwise wouldn’t make sense to display a Cybershot device. Call it the Nokia way, but you can’t deny it’s effective: if the K750/W800 platform would have been one only model, it wouldn’t have sold as much as the K750 and the W800 altogether.
