Sony Adds New Greenheart Phone to 2010 Lineup

Nothing makes a mobile device stand out more than using green engineering.

While Sony Ericsson may be having problems as a company (major financial loses an all, see their fiscal earnings for 2009 to see what we mean), they still manage to deliver some of the best standards in mobile phone manufacturing. The Japanese and Swedish joint venture has been continuously producing mobile phones under their Greenheart eco-standard and they have shown that it is possible to make an environmentally friendly mobile phone without compromising form, style or functions.

This is the very same concept behind the newly announced Sony Ericsson Aspen. This business model device is set with a 2.4 inch touch screen display and a full QWERTY keyboard in portrait orientation. The candy bar phone possesses that signature hard look of SE devices along with the solid lines and heavy form factor; initial images of the device shows that the phone is available in silver and black variants.

Another great feature about the Aspen is that it runs the new Windows Mobile 6.5.3 operating system. With previous announcements that Microsoft is planning to unveil the new OS at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, we might also possibly see the Aspen being announced too. Officially, this new WinMo phone is expected to be available come second quarter of 2010.

The coming of this WinMo device could not have been at a better time. Sony’s previous WinMo device, the XPERIA X2 has not fared well in the mobile industry. While SE still has the Vizaz, the X10, Elm, Hazel, Robyn and Kanna, they still lack a decent Windows Mobile device -having the Aspen rounds up the list nicely.
