    Sony Ericsson Aspen review: Tree-hugging business

    Its been a while since we last had to deal with a QWERTY-enabled PocketPC candybar. But it looks like well be seeing quite some of them around. We dont know if the industry is running out of ideas and trying to recycle old concepts. Or quite a few makers have done their homework properly and found potential.

    Either way, the Aspen is a prominent member of this new wave of phones, which will have to compete against each other, against rivals like Nokia and RIM, and against the clock  ticking closer to WinPho 7. read more →

    • Four-row QWERTY keyboard, D-pad navigation
    • 2.4" 65K-color resistive touchscreen of 320 x 240 pixel resolution
    • Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional with XPERIA panels
    • 256MB RAM, 265MB ROM, 100MB user storage
    • Quad-band GSM support and 3G with HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 2Mbps support
    • Small and low-res touchscreen display
    • Fairly customized but inconsistent UI
    • No proximity sensor for in-call screen auto locking
    • No secondary video-call camera
    • Memory card slot under the battery cover

    Sony Ericsson Aspen

    The Sony Ericsson Aspen's green credentials, decent QWERTY and tight integration with Microsoft services are welcomed features, but the tiny 2.4-inch low-resolution touchscreen isn't the most thumb-friendly around. To be fair, the Aspen isn't a bad phone, but there are competing handsets (sans a touchscreen) that offer much better build quality and overall user experience. Windows Mobile 6.5.3 was introduced with a few features including support for a capacitive touchscreen, multitouch, touch controls throughout the system and a more consistent navigation. read more →

    • Tight integration with Microsoft services
    • good set of connectivity features
    • sizable catalog of third-party applications on the Web.
    • Touchscreen almost impossible to use under the sun due to reflective surface
    • lacks front-facing camera for video calling
    • rudimentary camera features
    • user experience not well-thought-out.
