A single shot of Sony Ericsson’s “Patti” candybar phone was apparently making the rounds earlier this week, but a helpful member of the SE4M forums has at this time thankfully provided a whole batch of pics, as well as word that the phone has at this time been officially dubbed the W902. Apart from the 5-megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, however, this one looks to be a pretty standard SE handset, with it boasting all the usual Walkman-related features and tried and true design you’ve come to expect. No word on a release just yet, but you can at least get a good look at it by hitting up the link below.

At first, we figured our Instinct in this place at Engadget HQ had just woken up on the wrong side of the Bed. but we’re at this time receiving a flood of tips from individuals nationwide having the same issues. Put clearly, it seems that certain Dat. services are thoroughly borked, with our Weather app being unable to refresh for at least the past 18 hours (some are reporting even longer). Additionally, we’re hearing that folks are having to manually refresh their email and deal with all sorts of error messages when attempting to use any of the Dat. services. So, what gives? Are you having data-related issues with your Instinct? C’mon Sprint, this is your best-selling EV-DO device of all time — it’d be nice to have it working for the weekend.

Wait, Verizon actually decided it would be a good idea to make official a cellphone today? Oh yeah, that’s right — the Chocolate 3 was declare with a Sunday availability Dat. today, but for those hoping to see the wrapper unfold a few days early, today’s your lucky day. The cats over at Laptop were able to acquire the new flip and test it out ever-so-briefly, and while initial impressions seemed rather positive, we reckon it’s the photos you’re really after. Dig into the read link for the full gallery.
