New Windows Phone from Sony Ericsson is a Greenheart Device
Its new mobile phone day today and it looks like the old Sony Ericsson Naite just got revamped into the Aspen. Well, it is all speculation for now as SE has yet to confirm that the Naite did undergo a name change; but one thing is for sure, the WinMo 6.5.3 Aspen is good to go on Q2 this year.
The Windows Mobile phone is a great addition to the stellar lineup of mobile devices for Sony Ericsson this year. They already have two impressive Android smart phones in the form of the XPERIA X10 and the XPERIA Robyn. For Symbian, the U-series will get started off with the Vizaz this March to be followed by the Kanna.
With the XPERIA X2 currently not taking much time in the spotlight, Sony Ericsson will be shifting WinMo focus with the Aspen. This smart phone looks very business-like with its hard edged form, solid lines and heavyset look. The device has a 2.4 inch touch screen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Expect to be able to type long messages and emails on this phone.
Aside from the WinMo OS features, the Aspen will also come with integrated web applications for social networking websites and email as well as the PlayNow feature. It has been reported that the phone is able to handle 3D games with no problems.
Being a Greenheart device, you do not need to worry about the carbon footprint of this Sony gadget because it is made of over 50% recycled plastic and no toxic chemicals. The packaging is minimal and optimized to conserve fuel and the manual is in digital format in the phone (no printed version, saving paper and ink).
Get a sneak peek of the initial specs and features of this impressive little business phone from Know Your Mobile.

Sony Ericsson is bringing a new WinMo Phone
Sony Ericsson has not yet abandoned the Windows Mobile operating system. Despite the fact that the XPERIA X2 is in mobile phone limbo (thanks to an untimely launch delay that go it pulled out of Vodafone’s lineup), SE will be bringing a new WinMo phone out sometime this Q2 2010.
The Sony Ericsson Aspen uses the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Maldives operating system. So far, exact details on the Maldives version of the WinMo OS are still scarce, but most reports point to a more capacitive touch screen friendly interface. Considering that the version 6 series of the OS has been geared towards stylus users, a graphic update that allows for finger friendly controls is a welcome sight.
So far, only HTC has been able to make a truly successful WinMo phone by skinning the OS with their own HTC Sense user interface. SE, on the other hand, will be using the panels UI seen originally in the XPERIA series for the Aspen.
Aside from the WinMo OS, another great aspect of the Aspen is that it will be part of Sony’s Greenheart series of devices. This means that the device is compliant with the eco-friendly standards of Sony Ericsson making this business phone an excellent choice for the eco-conscious. It is made of over 50% recycled plastic and only water borne paint, though despite the choice of materials, the visual and physical form of the device is indistinguishable from normal mobile phones.
This device comes with a 2.4 inch touch screen and a physical QWERTY keyboard. It’s a business phone through and through, images show a choice between a silver and black version of the device. It is also reported that the Aspen will come with a 3.2 mega pixel camera.
