Sony Ericsson AspenSaving the earth is a big and quite urgent subject nowadays; and because almost everyone today has a cellphone, so making more eco-friendly cellphones is a really meaningful effort. Although these electronic things can’t be totally eco-friendly, at least for now, but there’s something we can do to reduce the harm to nature. And this is why I’m here today introducing the Sony Ericsson’s new greenheart phone – the Aspen, an eco-Blackberry.

 

Sony Ericsson have added a business phone to their line up of eco-friendly handsets. The multi-tasking Windows Aspen joins the Elm and the Hazel in the Sony Ericsson Greenheart range.

 

The phone’s general features reflect the business niche that Sony Ericsson are gearing their Aspen handset towards: the key point being the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, the latest version of the Windows phone set up that allows users to co-ordinate their phone with their PCs. And a Blackberry-ish shape with both a touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard makes easy typing a priority.

 

On the entertainment side, there’s also a media player and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The phone has built in Facebook and Windows messenger apps and the “Human Curvature” design lets it fit in the palm of your hand more easily.

 

It’s not just calling the phones after trees that make these phones eco-friendly. Their green credentials come from the manufacture, the packaging and factors like power-consumption. Green features on the previous Greenheart phones that we hope to see on this one come in three categories.

 

1. Less energy and raw materials are used in their manufacture and packing:
- Made out of recycled plastics
- Free from hazardous chemicals
- The instructions booklet is not printed on paper but is an e-manual in phone
- Packaging has been minimised

 

2. The Greenheart phones are designed to be more energy-efficient
- Low power consumption charger (EP300 GreenHeart(TM))
- Clearer voice technology should mean lower volume is required
- A Widget Manager application, which allows users access to their social networking page via the stand-by screen and quickly switch between different social networks, reduces the battery-wasting waiting time.

 

3. They come with apps for helping you cut down on CO2 and energy use in other areas of your life..
- Walk Mate eco application
- Green calculator

 

You can also use a special power-saving charger which minimises the power wasted when charging the phone.

 

The Sony Ericsson Aspen looks beautiful, and it is a tough phone with amazing functions, and it’s quite eco-friendly. So how do you like this Sony Ericsson green heart new phone? The phone’s available in Iconic Black or Silver White.

Sony Ericsson FH Mobile Phone ConceptSony Ericsson phones are famous for its elegant and fashionable design, which makes us proud to show others our Sony Ericsson cellphone. And as we should always keep in mind, they never stopped the attempt to make some even more beautiful cellphones. So this is why the Sony Ericsson FH Mobile Phone Concept comes.

 

Cellphone designers and manufacturers have never ceased to amaze us, and recently Du Jun has created a concept Sony Ericsson FH Mobile Phone that features a turning point. Just based on that design, FH’s dual screens can be rotated sideways to create a wide screen display for media viewing and web browsing. The phone can also serve as an intercom when split into two, which allow instant communication via Bluetooth connectivity.

 

I live the wide screen idea, and it is really very beautiful!

The Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro comes out in whiteYes, I know we talked about the Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro in our earlier post.  But this is different, well not much different, but it now comes out in white, and it’s beautiful! You know Sony Ericsson cellphones, they’re always beautiful and enjoyable, and the Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro makes no exception, is a great phone for daily use!

 

The x10 mini is a scaled-down version of Sony Ericsson’s flagship phone – the X10. The strapline is “Mini but Mighty” and it does pack a lot of power in its 90 x 52 x 17 mm frame. It’s a slider handset with a 5 megapixel camera and a high speed internet receiver built over an Android operating system, giving you access to all those apps.

 

The handsets have a reputation as great camera and video phones, though the user interface can be a bit counter-intuitive.

 

Anyway white is The Thing apparently. They tell us: ”The timeless fashion pallet dominated the collections this summer with everyone from Stella McCartney, Fendi and Calvin Klein featuring dazzling white ensembles. The fashion elite are also well aboard the white wagon.”

 

There you go. That’s why you should really get a white phone this summer. This white Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro is totally adorable and fashionable, totally the white phone you should have to go along with all your fashionable outfits! And also, it makes a great cellphone for daily use and for entertainment.

Sony Ericsson VivazI usually love Sony Ericsson phones just because they’re good in design, and alway has friendly user interface. However for this Sony Ericsson Vivaz I do expect more for they’ve promised much more! And the result? Yes, I’ll tell you.

 

This week, I got my paws on Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz. With HD capability – and a nice new curvy design – I wanted to know whether it pulls off the multimedia magic we’ve all been promised.

 

First, let’s talk about the looks. Much has been made of the ‘human curvature’ design, and it’s not exactly been a universal hit. But I like it, actually, and certainly don’t think you’d be ashamed to take it home and introduce it to your mates. However, while I like the fact that it’s lightweight, the casing does feel a bit flimsy – taking the back off to get to the battery and SIM is a bit fiddly, and I was worried that it might snap with a teeny bit of pressure. The 3.2 inch touchscreen looks great though, and buttons are kept to a minimum (I was particularly pleased to see the camera shutter button, along with a video button, along the edge – much nicer to use than on the touchscreen itself, as in the iPhone).

 

However, I was disappointed upon opening the box to be presented with: a stylus. I’d vainly hoped there wouldn’t be the need. And I wasn’t particularly convinced with the thing when texting – the handwriting feature wasn’t quite as responsive as I’d hoped (I got lots of ‘hollo’s, even with my neatest handwriting), while the mini and full-sized QWERTY keyboards had me wishing for something in between. I did also struggle to see the screen properly when outdoors (just occasionally) as there seemed to be a bit of glare even on days that weren’t particularly bright.

 

Web browsing was nice and easy though, and the 360×640 pixels make sure your picture is sharp and bright. I must confess, despite regularly trying to ditch the stylus I kept having to pick it up again whenever I didn’t get the response I wanted.

 

But, I hear you cry, what about the camera? Well, this is where the Vivaz starts to show off a little. With 8.1 megapixels, face and smile detection helps to make sure you get the snap you’re after. And having the hard button on the side means it’s easy to grab a picture even in those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments. We thought that video quality was great – it’s certainly a good idea for anyone who wants to be able to grab some footage or pictures whenever they like, and upload them straightaway to YouTube or Picasa. YouTube (along with Facebook and Twitter) is preinstalled, too, alongside iPlayer and other video services, meaning your favourite videos are close to hand.

 

Ultimately, I had mixed feelings about the handset – it’s stylish, perhaps a bit specialist, but could be so much more user-friendly in terms of the interface. For the average user, the Vivaz might just be a bit fiddly for everyday use. But for multimedia fans who take pictures and movies regularly, it’s not bad at all.

 

Overall, this is a nice looking phone with pretty nice functions, but I have to say that I’m indeed a little disappointed, for they’ve promised so much more. But still the phone is really pretty!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini ProAs smartphones go, this one is quite different, and to some extent more easier to use. We’ve seen touchscreen phones and we’ve seen QWERTY keyboard phones, but this one has them both (like the Nokia N97). And like most Sony Ericsson phones, the Xperia X10 comes in a quite fashionable design, suitable for both entertain use and business use, let’s see…

 

Sony Ericsson recently made some waves at the Mobile World Congress by unveiling its latest Xperia handset – the Xperia X10 Mini Pro. This newest iteration of the Xperia product line will remind you of the Xperia X10, a compact version at that. The X10 Mini Pro combines high spec features and Sony Ericsson’s UX platform which was specifically designed for smaller mobile handsets.

 

The Xperia X10 Mini Pro sports a slide out QWERTY keyboard that provides an open and intuitive communication entertainment experience. It was built on the human curvature design philosophy which was started in the Xperia X10, which means more comfortable to use. The phone runs on Android Platform which means you’ll have access to various mobile apps through the Android market. It’s homescreen is highly customizable using widgets. There’s some really interesting features about this phones too.

 

An interesting feature of the Xperia X10 Mini Pro is Timescape. It’s actually a proprietary Sony Ericsson mobile app that lets you see text messages, missed calls, Facebook and Twitter updates in one interface. It also has an interactive music player with “infinite button” that brings together all your music content from the music store and YouTube.

 

The Xperia X10 Mini Pro is also packed with a 5MP camera with video capture and sharing features, autofocus, geotagging, photo and video light and album application. Other specs and features include – TFT Touchscreen Display, Bluetooth, WiFi, microSD card support, 128MB internal memory, 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 Processor, up to 4 hours GSM/GPRS talk time and 285 hours standby time, 3.5 hours at UMTS and 360 hours standby time.The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro support HSPA 900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA 850/1900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.

 

So, you see, there’re really some very humanize designs on this phone, more comfortable and easier to use! It will available in Black and Red design sometime in Q2. Would you buy one?

LG U8500Yes, here’s the question: Is your cellphone pink and girly? Or do you want to have a girly cellphone? We talked a lot about phones and most of the phones we talked about are classic black or white, and honestly nothing really girly…So I just feel like have to say something about girly pink phones.

 

One might have thought that pink phones are almost entirely bought by girls, and that boys love phones with loads of gadgets. Usually it’s true, however there are a few surprises. The Prada phone by LG, surely a shoe-in for the girliest phone award, is actually pretty popular among the guys! To be exact, almost 47% of all Pradas are in fact bought by fellas. And the LG Chocolate and Platinum Chocolate are big favourites with the ladies, who account for over 60% of all owners, and it’s no pink at all!

 

As a matter of fact, pink cellphones like this LG U8500 looks not pretty at all to me. I mean I would really love to see some pretty pink phones coming out to the market, thought not much yet! Maybe that’s why a large amount of girls are still stick with basic black mobile models. One thing I had to say, I think those cheap Chinese phones are really good too when it comes to pinky girly cellphones, you know, no brand but nice design and very cheap! Do you think so?

 

According to Dial-a-phone Blog, the award for the girliest cell phone manufacturer goes to Samsung (which I don’t think so, I’m stick to LG), whereas the Sony Ericsson had a higher percentage of male owners. Whatever,  I’m just wondering how many of you would call your own phone ‘girly’?

Vivaz

There’s really a lot of smartphones out there in the market, and now here’s just another one. And if you’re interested, let’s see what’s different and new about this one!

 Sony Ericssson has just unveiled a new smartphone with full touch screen features – the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a full featured smartphone with great features such as a high resolution camera that lets you capture video in HD quality. It has a dedicated video key that lets you shoot video quickly with continous auto focus. This phone also lets you review video content in standby panel or online via Wi-Fi on its 3.2 inch touch enabled widescreen display. You can also upload your videos to YouTube and Picasa directly over Wi-Fi. And since uploading takes time, you can let the uploading run in the background and use the phone for other purposes. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is also an open platform handset so you can personalize it with entertainment content and other applications that you can find from PlayNow and Symbian Developer Community. And it also has a GPS like many other smartphones do.

Design-wise, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz boasts of a design that can be attributed to what Sony calls as human curvature. The design was made to mirror the shape of the human body while at the same deliver a precise and compeling phone interaction. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz will be available in Moon Silver, Cosmic Black, Galaxy Blue and Venus Ruby designs.

However, no words on pricing yet. A exclusive nice phone, or just another smartphone? To me, I got really tired of these smartphones, and this one is just not my idea of a pretty cellphone. So how do you think?
