The Sony Ericsson W595 is now available in a new design if you have been holding out on getting it because of its bland and lifeless colors.  Carphone Warehouse UK has put up an Ed Hardy version of the Walkman phone, that is festooned with Ed Hardy’s tattoos all over, which should evoke a few stares at the very least, but brushing aside its badass body, the W595 has chosen to remain true to its roots with a 3.2 megapixel camera, HSDPA network support, M2 card support, Bluetooth, and a 2.2-inch QVGA display.  Available on Carphone Warehouse starting from £20 on an 18-month contract from T-Mobile UK.

We’d like this picture to be a leaked shot of a certain upcoming touchscreen phone, the Sony Ericsson Jalou, but unfortunately it isn’t. The photo shows a modified W995 so we’ll have to wait for the real Sony Ericsson Jalou to come out.

On a different note, the Jalou will offer you a 3-inch touchscreen, WiFi support, HSDPA connectivity and it will run on Symbian S60 5th Edition. Anyone really interested in a Symbian Sony Ericsson phone?

Sony Ericsson has at least one more trick up its sleeve before going under. The company is getting ready to launch its mobile movie content business this June. It’s not an app store but it’s still a similar service. The new movie downloads section will be part of the existing PlayNow Arena service. Using the new service you will be able to download videos to your PC at first and then you’ll be able to bring them to life on your smartphone. The movies will be available to play for 90 days after being purchased so you will have plenty of time to enjoy them.

Unfortunately the whole selection process might not really suit your needs. You will be able to choose from 15 movies at any time and up to 60 movies per year with certain phones. The service will be available at first on the W995 and customers in Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK will get it this June. No news about prices yet but we’ll be waiting for the official launch to tell you more.

Despite its current financial problems, Sony Ericsson still has some tricks up its sleeve. The W995 phone has been announced in February but it has just recently hit the FCC. One of the most important feature of the W995 is that 8 megapixel shooter. The W995 will not only play all that music for you but it will also help you take some amazing pictures. Other specs include 8GB of internal memory, 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant screen, aGPS, WiFi, stereo speakers and Walkman player 4.0. The phone has HSPA support but it lacks 850/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA bands needed for the North American markets. Will Sony Ericsson launch this baby only in Europe?
