Sony Ericsson C901 Greenheart

The Sony Ericsson C901 Greenheart was the first release in the Greenheart range of Sony Ericsson mobile phones. Greenheart is the series of phones from Sony that deliver top-of-the-range mobile phone technology in an eco-conscious package. What this means is that, not only is the packaging minimal, the phone itself is mostly made from recycled materials and uses waterborne paint (versus traditional and harmful solvent-based paints).

In essence, the Sony Ericsson C901 is a traditional candy bar phone with a five megapixel camera complete with Xenon flash, auto focus, 16x digital zoom, and smile detection. The music player features MegaBass and TrackID with memory that is expandable to 8 GB using an M2 memory card.  However, as with most Sony Ericsson phones, the headphone jack is proprietary (versus the preferred 3.5 mm headphone jack).

Whereas some of the newer Sony Ericsson mobile phones feature Windows Mobile OS, the C901 Greenheart uses the standard Sony Ericsson proprietary software.  The phone is quad coverage with 3G and GPRS; however, there are no HSDPA or Wi-Fi capabilities. Internal memory is 120 MB. Connectivity is via USB and Bluetooth. This is not a touch screen handset.

Physical dimensions for the phone are 45 by 105 by 13 mm and it weighs 107 grams. To compare mobile phones, the Sony Ericsson C901 closely resembles the Samsung S7350 in specifications, size, and weight.

The phone comes in Ocean White and is not yet available in the UK.
