Sony Ericsson Aspen

The Sony Ericsson Aspen is a simple Blackberry-look-alike. With a full QWERTY keyboard on the front face sharing space with the touch screen display which makes it somewhat unique. It is being touted as a ‘green’ phone in Sony’s GreenHeart line of phones.  Use of recycled materials for packaging, water-based paints and a power-saving application (called an Off button?).

Really, it’s not an exceptional cell phone when you take a deeper look.

Sony seems to be moving away from their Memory Stick and throwing their hat in with microSD now. They state on the product website “SanDisk microSD” however it’s certainly compatible with the standard microSD format.
