Cell phone companies are typically pretty creative when it comes to the codenames for their upcoming handsets. HTC is known for calling its phones everything from Hermes to Wizard. RIM is working on the BlackBerry Thunder and Javelin. Sony Ericsson was supposed to bring us Paris, but now it has apparently turned its musical attention over to a handset called the Feng. Maybe it’s the name of the designer…

In any case, the Sony Ericsson W302 “Feng” will be one of the newest entries into the company’s Walkman line of mobile phones. The slim candybar, as you can tell from its model number, is going to attack the low-end to mid-range end of the market. Features include a 2 megapixel camera (no flash or autofocus), A2 software, and a 176×220 pixel display.

You can expect Feng to find its way into the hands of retailers in the middle of October. I don’t know about you, but I’m more interested in the Xperia hiding behind the SE W302.
