Sony Ericsson announces Naite and C901 GreenHeart phones

 greenheart

So, Sony Ericsson announced two mid-end phones today. Both of these belong to the company’s new line of environmentally-friendly phones, dubbed GreenHeart.

The first one is the very familiar C901, but with additional GreenHeartbranding this time. So what does this mean. Well, for one, the phone will ship withlimited packaging due to the lack of a user manual, which is entirely digital and loaded onto the phone’s memory. Also, the C901 is made out of 50% recycled plastics and will be covered with a special waterborne paintthat reduces exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds. An improved light sensor is also incorporated, in order to reduce power consumption. The phone also comes preloaded with a WalkMate app, that tells you the steps you’ve made and  the amount of CO2 emissions you’ve prevented by not driving a car instead. Lastly, the phone will also come with a MH300 GreenHeart headset, made out of 100% recycled plastics.

Otherwise, this is still the same old C901, featuring a 2.2″ screen, a 5 megapixel camera with xenon flash and video light, autofocus, an active lens cover and software technologies, such as face and smile detection, BestPic, Photo fix, red-eye reduction, Geo-tagging Smart Contrast and other. We’ve also got GPS, quad-band GPRS?EDGE and dual-band UMTS/HSUPA here.

Now, Naite, which is Sony Ericsson’s 4th nontraditionally-named phone is lower-end phone. In addition to the eco-friendly technologies found in the C901, Naite will also have a low-power charger - one of the first of its kind. Besides that, it has a 2.2″ screen and a 2 megapixel camera, without flash or autofocus. FM radio is there as well. What’s great is that it has quad-band GPRS/EDGE support, plus HSDPA. It should come in two colour varieties - Vapour Silver and Ginger Red.

Video: C901 and C903 preview

Here’s our quick video preview at the upcoming Sony Ericsson C901 and C903 Cyber-shot handsets. These are naturally prototypes, and although the software is incredibly stable, it’ll probably change a bit in the final versions. The C901 and C903 will be out in shops in Q2 this year.

By the way… should any of you have any ideas to some background music we can use, then please speak up. I’m running out of new content (well, I already have run out), and it’s rather hard to find music we can legally use.

Video: Comparing the C901 and C903 camera flash performance

Here’s a quick video showing the main differences between a proper xenon flash on the C901 and the rather crappy LED flash on the C903 - and it of course also shows how superior the C901 is when it comes to image quality. Enjoy! :-)
