Sony Ericsson Aspen black

The Sony Ericsson Aspen is from the environmentally friendly GreenHeart range. The QWERTY style phone comes with Windows Mobile 6.5.3 as well as a GreenHeart panel with Eco applications and a power saving mode. Different to most QWERTY handsets, the Aspen comes with a 2.4 inch touchscreen display with handwriting recognition. Unfortunately, the Aspen is not without flaws. The design and build quality is poor when compared to rivals such as the BlackBerry Bold, Samsung Omnia Pro B7330 or Nokia E63, which are all far superior. The Aspen even creaks and moves while typing.

Features include a Windows Media Player, YouTube and Facebook applications and 3D games for the ultimate in entertainment on the go. For business users Sony Ericsson have included Microsoft Outlook and Office as well as an Internet Explorer web browser with HSDPA, Wi-Fi and EDGE support. Other features of the Sony Ericsson Aspen include a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS navigation, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth and expandable memory. With a battery life of up to 25 days standby time and a large range of decent features the Sony Ericsson Aspen could have been a usable business phone, but there are better alternatives.
