Sony Ericsson has pledged to save whales and keep polar bears frosty by reducing its environmental impact, starting with the C901 Greenheart made of 50 % recycled plastics. The company is also bringing the Naite, which will have similar features to the C901 but will also have the EP300 GreenHeart charger, which manages to charge phone while using less power. The new handset also dispenses with the manual, instead squashing it electronically into the phone in order to reduce the paper in the packaging by 90 per cent. C901 is a cybershot with powerful 5.0 mp and quick camera access while naite is a 3G good looking fast internet mobile.

C901 AND NAITE GREENHEART: REVIEW, SPEC, PRICE AND VIDEO – NEW SONY ERICSSON THE SOUND OF ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY WITH CYBERSHOT AND FAST 3G INTERNET

Green and seen before

The C901 GreenHeart also has an ‘optimised display light sensor’ that adjusts the brightness of the screen to make sure the phone consumes less power. While this is a nifty green feature, it’s hardly groundbreaking as it’s been seen on a number of devices for the last three years.

The phone is also coloured with waterborne paints that lower its exposure to Volatile Organic Chemicals, and we’re guessing that you’re like us in having no idea what that means, but it sounds like a Good Thing.

Specs-wise, the C901 comes with 3G, a 5MP camera, a Xenon flash and all the usual multimedia applications Sony Ericsson is known for, which isn’t too shabby on the hardware front.

The Naite dawdles in with EDGE connectivity, a 2MP camera, Exchange ActiveSync and a 2.2-inch QVGA screen.

Pub bore

There’s also a WalkMate application on the C901 and an Ecomate application on the Naite to help you compare the steps you take compared to taking the car and the resulting amount of CO2 saved… so you can be an eco-bore down the pub.

The Sony Ericsson Naite

In addition to all this green phone frippery, Sony Ericsson is also going environmentally doo-lally over the MH300 GreenHear headset, which is made out of 100 % recycled plastics ‘in most plastic parts’.

Which either means it’s really green or, to quote Anchorman, “60% of the time it works every time.”

The GreenHeart C901 is coming later this month, and the Naite will be moseying into the shops at some point during Q3

review:

The Sony Ericsson C901 Cyber-shot phone featuring a 5-megapixel camera with Xenon flash and Smile Shutter technology. Other camera features include auto focus, face detection, BestPic and digital image stabilization. Pictures are saved to the phone’s 120MB internal memory or Memory Stick Micro cards.

For messaging users, the Sony Ericsson C901 offers SMS, MMS as well as Exchange ActiveSync for corporate messaging. A standard T9 numeric keypad has been incorporated for text input, joining a 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

The Sony Ericsson C901 supports Quad-band GMS networks and European HSPA networks, and claims a talk time of approximately 4 hours when connected to the latter. The phone does not support Wi-Fi, but offers Bluetooth stereo connectivity and USB support.

Other features include support for geo-tagging of pictures, Google Maps support as well as a motion sensor for controlling games. The Sony Ericsson C901 will also offer a YouTube upload function, along with a media player supporting album art and the most popular file formats. When it comes to Web browsing, the phone will utilize the Access NetFront Web browser.

Compared to the Sony Ericsson C902, the Sony Ericsson C901 is a slightly more advanced phone with its Xenon flash, Smile Shutter technology and YouTube support. On the other hand, the Sony Ericsson C901 lacks the C902’s touch screen camera keys.

In addition to these features, the Sony Ericsson C901 has xenon flash instead of a photoflash LED. It also comes with Video stabiliser, Video recording, Red-eye reduction, as well as Video and Picture blogging capabilities

C901 PRICE IS ESTIMATED AT RM 1125 – 1155
