subject: The Sony Ericsson Elm Achieves the Perfect Balance [print this page] It seems that the Sony Ericsson Elm is one of the best mobile phones today, achieving the perfect balance between top end technology and an eco-friendly attitude. A lot of people expect that this phone may become one of the most popular handsets from Sony Ericsson. The Features of the Elm The Elm is quite an appropriate name for this handset which is included in the Greenheart line of Sony Ericsson, which is a collection of phones created in an eco-friendly way. If you think being green is all it has going for it, youre mistaken because the Elm comes with all the functionalities you need from a phone. This includes GPS (Global Positioning System) to help you in navigation, and WiFi connectivity to make sure you can surf the net easily. It even has a special home screen widget that integrates various social networking sites and makes it easier for you to log in to each one. This widget uses a system to directly integrate the services of such sites as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. The Elm has a quad-band GPRS/EDGE/GSM support aside from the basic dual-band HSPA. It is HD Voice Ready since it comes with the AMR-WB audio codec installed. There are also innovative sound enhancing features such as Clear Voice, Intelligent Volume Adaptation and Noise Shield, all of which are very useful. Sony Ericsson will also be offering an online backup system at their website. Although they havent released how this works, it seems that if youre using a Sony Ericsson phone, youll be able to recover all your images, messages and other files in the event that your phone gets damaged or stolen. This is something that other mobile phone manufacturers may consider copying, since it is a very useful added bonus that would be such a big help. The Elm comes with complete multimedia features, and also includes support for such technologies as TrackID, MegaBass and SensMe. SensMe is actually a very popular feature of Sony Ericsson phones, in that it can automatically create a playlist for you depending on your mood. Of course, you will need to select a couple of songs first, so that SensMe can then choose other songs with similar tempo and beat. The Elm also comes with a built-in accelerometer, so you can be sure of the screen auto rotation. The Design of the Elm The Elm has a sleek, splash-resistant body and an elegant curved design that is meant to fit your palm comfortably. It comes in two sophisticated colours Metal Black and Pearly Rose. It is only 14 mm thick and weighs merely 90 grams, so its very easy to carry an Elm around. It also features a 2.2 inch TFT display screen with QVGA resolution and 262K colour support. The Wait for the Elm Do you want to get your hand on a Sony Ericsson Elm today? Unfortunately, youll still have to wait a bit because it isnt available in the market yet. According to Sony Ericsson, it will be available sometime in the first quarter of 2010, but there isnt any definite date yet.
