The Sony Ericsson Aspen is a member of the GreenHeart portfolio which could lessen the guilt on spending for another phone. The GreenHeart line of products uses recyclable materials and eliminated identified toxic substances in the production process that can harm the environment.
The Aspen is quite loaded in terms of its features. It has Windows Mobile 6.5.3 which has been completely redesigned from the traditional Windows Mobile look to allow more finger friendly operations; totally eliminating the need for a stylus even digging deep in the system. The new OS now also allow capacitive touch screens that can drastically enhance the touch screen experience. The web browser speed has also been improved (but you can always install a new one if you feel the Internet Explorer is still slow). This smartphone is targeted to the business users with the QWERTY keyboard in place for long message composition or could also be a perfect smartphone for text enthusiasts.
Other features of the phone include a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, 2.4″ flush touch display, A-GPS with Google Maps, WiFi, and expandable using a microSD. The phone weighs 130grams with dimensions of 17 x 60 x 12.45 mm.
For a more feature rich smartphone, look at the Sony Xperia X2.
