Today Sony Ericsson unveiled the W595 Walkman slider, a new mid-tier music phone that comes equipped with a 2.2", 262k color QVGA display and a share jack headset port that enables a friend to tap into the phone's music with you. There will be 3 versions of the W595 that ship in Q4 of this year, all of them supporting quad-band GSM/EDGE.

Music features on the W595 include the Walkman music player with shake control and SenseMe playlist support for playing the music that fits your mood best. An FM radio is also built-in, as are a pair of stereo speakers and the TrackID music identification app. Web duties are handled by the capable Access NetFront web browser, which also takes care of RSS news feeds for the W595. Other features include email support, the ability to sync with a Microsoft Exchange server, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with BestPic support and picture blogging software.

The W595 Walkman phone weighs 104g (3.7oz) and has a battery that is good for 9 hours of GSM talk time, 4.5 hours of 3G talk time, or 25 hours of continuous music playback. It will be available in four colors: blue, white, grey, and black.
