Sony Ericsson Elm 2With the Copenhagen conference on climate change underway it is becoming increasingly apparent to most of us that we all need to be doing our part in helping the environment. Whether it is by turning off your TV at night, recycling your household waste or choosing to walk rather than drive to your local shop, every little gesture makes a difference. Sony Ericsson is now trying to play its part with its two new GreenHeart phones.

The GreenHeart line of phones hopes to make a difference by lowering the levels of CO2 emitted during production, using as much recycled materials as possible and also minimising the amount of packaging that the phones are retailed in. The new Elm and Hazel phones are not the first GreenHeart handsets but are a noticeable improvement on the earlier Naite and C901.

The two phones come with an e-manual which is loaded onto the handsets themselves, saving paper, a low intensity battery charger and the WalkMate application which encourages you to walk rather than drive. Both phone feature a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and video recording; TrackID, SensMe and PlayNow features for the media player; as well as Wi-Fi, USB, GPS and threaded SMS.

Sony Ericsson Hazel 1While the two phones are remarkably similar in specifications there are noticeable differences. The Hazel features a larger 2.6″ screen with 16 million colours compared to the Elm’s 2.2″ 256k colour display. While they both feature an ergonomic design to be more easily held, the Hazel comes in a sliding form and the Elm is a standard candybar design.

Both phones are set for release in early 2010 although the Elm will be released first. If you want to do your part for the environment then make sure you take a good look at the Sony Ericsson Elm deals and Sony Ericsson Hazel deals as they become available.

Super fast Symbian: The Sony Ericsson Kurara

Sony Ericsson / No Comments

Sony Ericsson Kurara 1Looking for a super fast Symbian phone?  Look no further than the Sony Ericsson Kurara.  Leaked on Mobile Review, the Kurara is being lauded as the quickest Symbian smart phone on the market.  With an 8 mega-pixel digital camera and a Cortex A8 processor, this phone is ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

Judging by the pictures on Mobile Review, the Kurara and the Xperia X10 will be on a level as far as user interfaces go.  There is a pre-installed Facebook application on the phone as also has Twitter capabilities.

Want to be able to use your phone to record high definition video?  With the Kurara’s 8 mega pixel camera you will be able to do just that.  If you are tired of having to deal with proprietary accessories, you will not have to worry about that any more.  It looks like Sony Ericsson is finally moving away from that.  The Kurara is equipped with both a universal micro USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack so that you will not have to deal with memory cards and can use practically any headphones you like.

The Sony Ericsson Kurara does not however have an AMOLED screen and the lack thereof means that it will not be able to compete with the imaging possibilities of other smart phones on the market like the Samsung i890 HD.  It is a great phone to use though.  Although Sony Ericsson has declined to comment on the leaked information regarding the Kurara, it has an estimated street date of February 2010.

In short, the Sony Ericsson has incorporated some innovative technology into the new Kurara.  While they did implement a larger mega pixel digital camera, they shied away from the screen with the resolution to really appreciate it.
