The Aspen is the latest GreenHeart mobile phone from Sony Ericsson, and another to be blessed with a tree-related name. GreenHeart, as you may know, is the manufacturer’s range of mobile phones with ‘green’ aspirations, coming as they do in minimal packaging with CD-based manuals and complete with eco-friendly, low-consumption chargers.
Up until now, the GreenHeart phones have been regular candybars or sliders - the Elm, Hazel and Naite for example - but the Aspen has both a touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard, plus plenty of other great features:Sony Ericcson Aspen

We saw the Aspen a few weeks back, but under the name of ‘Faith’, where it was only known that it would run Windows Mobile 6.5. This has now changed for the Aspen to include the latest 6.5.3 build of Microsoft’s operating system, which is getting steadily better with each incarnation.
Sony Ericsson have also elected to include their Panels interface over the top of Windows Mobile, a move seen recently on the Xperia X1 and X2. The QWERTY and all the usual Windows Mobile document viewing and editing tools lend the Aspen a business air, but the addition of a 3.5mm jack socket, social networking apps, PlayNow and 3D games should see it function well outside the office too.
