Sony Ericsson has introduced a new Windows Mobile (6.5.3) phone, named Aspen, to their portfolio of diverse mobile devices. The phone, available later this year (Q2) in Iconic Black and White Silver, features a 2.4 inch (240×320, 65k color) TFT touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard. Other notable specifications include A-GPS, Wi-Fi, FM radio, and Bluetooth (A2DP) to ensure you’re fully connected. Don’t forget about the MicroSD compatibility, although Sony will not be including any MicroSD card so you’ll need to purchase one. This phone is pretty standard fare with a 3.2 megapixel camera and 4x digital zoom.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of surprising not to see 8 megapixels on the Aspen, as Sony Ericsson seems to be integrating that into every other phone they are releasing these days.<\/p>\n

Sony thoughtfully added a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a stereo speaker, which is great because it’s frustrating to use phones that don’t have that these days. I think the USB connector is Micro USB though, instead of Mini USB which I would rather prefer.<\/p>\n

It’s officially under SE’s Greenheart line, boasting a Greenheart software panel within, power saving modes, eco-mate application, electronic manual, waterborne painting, and some of the components (charger, box, etc) are made of recycled materials.<\/p>\n

The software experience is pretty loaded – it has access to the PlayNow store, and includes applications such as: Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, CNN, YouTube, Skype, Google Maps, and custom stylings courtesy of SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. It also boasts a PDF reader, Microsoft Office mobile, Outlook mobile and much more. For additional business support, you’ll be happy to know it is compatible with Exchange (via ActiveSync) and has full E-mail capabilities.<\/p>\n
