Sony Ericsson C901 and Naite GreenHeart phones can make a hippy smile
Hear about the green feel-good bandwagon? Yeah, well Sony Ericsson's on it, straw hat and all. Meet the first GreenHeart products bent on sustainability: the Nait and C901 GreenHeart candybars, MH300 GreenHeart headset, and EP300 GreenHeart charger. The GreenHeart label means reduced packaging, recycled plastics, waterborne paints, and an electronic in-phone manual instead of a paper booklet. The Naite even includes an Ecomate application with Carbon Footprint Calculator that shows how much CO2 you're saving while walking your fields of organic tie-dye ink. As for the phones, the C901 brings a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Xenon flash and smile shutter tech when it lands in Q2 (hey, that ends this month) supporting GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSPA 900/2100 frequencies. Naite scales things back with a 2 megapixel camera, a 2.2-inch 240x320 pixel display, and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS HSPA 850/1900/2100 band support when it hits in Q3. And hey, if they make lousy phones you can probably just smoke 'em.
Sony Ericsson's "Filippa" outed as C901 for emerging markets
To stem the tide of leaks it seems Sony Ericsson has decided to release some of these rumored sets in advance of Mobile World Congress next week. The Sony Ericsson C901 is apparently touted as an emerging markets phone, -- though it looks a bit high end for the inexpensive market -- and is essentially the same as the C903 sans TV-out and AGPS . Packing things like a quad-band GSM, dual-band HSPA, 5 megapixel camera, with auto focus, a xenon flash, 9.5 hours talk and 430 hours standby time, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth, would lead us to believe this should be sitting in the mid range feature phone market. We should see this shipping in Q2 this year in Noble Black, Sincere Silver -- no really, that's the truth -- and Precious Peach hues. No word on pricing yet, though we expect that'll all trickle out soon. [Via USEB]%Gallery-44296%
Sony Ericsson's Filippa reportedly being rechristened C901
Take this with a healthy grain of salt for now, but Sony Ericsson's so-called Filippa -- which has been hiding under deep cover the past few months -- is about to get official as the C901. Not surprisingly, SEMCBlog has it that the next Cyber-shot will be officially unveiled next month at Mobile World Congress, and with it will come a 5 megapixel camera (with AutoFocus and Xenon flash) along with your choice of Noble Black, Sincere Silver and Precious Peach hues. It's expected that the handset will go on sale in at least some corners of the globe this April, though pricing remains a mystery. A shocker, we know.
