subject: Here Comes the Sony Ericsson Hazel [print this page] If youre environmentally conscious and would like to minimize your carbon footprint in the world and purchase only eco-friendly, green products, then the Sony Ericsson Hazel is perfect for you. Another GreenHeart Device from the Company with a Green Heart The Hazel is part of the GreenHeart line of Sony Ericsson, which further proves their commitment to the environment by creating more responsible and more sustainable products. The GreenHeart line shows that it is possible to combine great design and innovative features with a green, eco-friendly approach. When you purchase a GreenHeart phone, youll instantly notice the minimum packaging and the electronic user manual stored on the phone as a PDF file instead of having the usual paper manual that consumes so much paper. A GreenHeart handset also comes with more energy efficient display and a low-powered charger to reduce the use of electricity. The phone itself is made largely of recycled plastic that is free from dangerous chemicals, and uses only waterborne paint, which is better than the usual solvent-based paints because of having less volatile organic compounds. A Classic Design for a Soon-to-Be Classic Phone The design of the Hazel is sure to impress you with its elegant curved effect, so that the phone follows the contour of your own face when you open the phone to use it. It measures a mere 102 x 49 x 16 mm and weighs only 120 grams. This makes it easier to carry the Hazel around. The Hazel comes with a 2.6 inch TFT touch screen display that can support up to a maximum of 16 million colours and has an impressive resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. In order to avoid minor scratches on the screen, there is a scratch-resistant surface covering. Great Features on Such an Eco-Friendly Phone A lot of people seem to think that having an eco-friendly mobile phone means that the features will be sacrificed. However, this is not the case when it comes to the Hazel. It has a high-quality 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus, and which also has face and smile detection. It comes with a built-in GPS receiver with a-GPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) support, which can allow all the images on the camera to be automatically geo-tagged with relevant information on the location. You can easily display the images online, and people can check to see where the images were taken. The phone utilises the GPS set up in order to operate as a Satellite Navigation (SatNav) device, which is why the WisePilot navigation software is installed on the Sony Ericsson Hazel. This will make it easier for you to try to locate new places that you are unfamiliar with. The Hazel offers native support for a host of social media services. As with most phones today, there is a built in application to make it easier to access Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. It also has a unique blogging tool which can enable you to maintain an online journal which will be published directly from your phone to the web.
