It looks like the few people who are waiting for the Sony Ericsson Yendo may cheer again since it has just hit the FCC. Furthermore, it may have gotten a slight name change, to the Yizo according to their own website. However, Engadget points out that the Yizo's page is a bit screwed up so we'll have to wait for Sony Ericsson to announce it or over the next couple of days when they fix things up. Check it out at the FCC and on Sony Ericsson's website.

Update: GSM Arena has just pointed out that this handset will be priced at €169 ($215 USD) unlocked. It will be called the Sony Ericsson Yendo, but in the US they'll be renaming it to the Yizo for some reason. I guess that solves just about all the answers - except for the release date.

Sony Ericsson has just officially announced three more of their own handsets and we've heard about all three before. The first one is above, which is clearly the Sony Ericsson "Shakira" and the rumours were right: it's now the XPERIA X8. This handset is sporting a 3-inch HVGA touchscreen display (320 x 480 resolution), HSPA connectivity, WiFi / GPS support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 3.2MP camera, a 600MHz CPU, Stereo Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot (2GB card pre-installed), and Android with their own four-corner UI on it. This will be available sometime in Q3 of this year and will sport Android 2.1 likely a couple of weeks after the launch.

As expected, Sony Ericsson also announced the W150i today, as the Yendo Walkman (which I thought would be just a codename). This handset actually isn't an Android-based handset (as believed) but it does have the same four-corner UI that you'll find on the X8 and the X10 Mini. Beneath its 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen display you'll also find Bluetooth support along with social integration. The handset itself also boasts a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (no 3G support). This handset will also be available in Q3 of this year and will have a bunch of different colours for you to choose from.

The last handset is, of course, the Sony Ericsson Cedar. This handset is a part of SE's Greenheart series so it's quite eco-friendly since it's made of recycled plastic. The handset itself features a 2.2-inch display, 3G, social integration, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 2MP camera. This phone will be available in, you guessed it, Q3.

Two new Sony Ericsson handsets seem to have just leaked out thanks to Krazy D & Lollylost100. The specs for both handsets aren't mentioned yet but the one above is being codenamed the Yendo while the one below is being called the Cedar. The Yendo (above) is the W150i (also codenamed TeaCake) that leaked out last week and it's going to be part of SE's Walkman Series that'll be running on Android. The one below is the Cedar and we know nothing about it - but it'll be a part of their eco-friendly Greenheart Series.

That was quick. Apparently, that Android-based Sony Ericsson Walkman-branded handset we heard about just four days ago, is pictured above. Apparently, the phone is being named the Sony Ericsson W150i and it's running just Android 1.5 right now. Let's hope it doesn't end up launching with that because that version is ancient. The specs are unconfirmed right now, but it should feature a 5MP camera, interchangeable covers, and a 2.6-inch QVGA display.
