Sony Ericsson Cedar deals & review

The Sony Ericsson Cedar is a mobile phone that is designed for users who want a quick and easy way to stay connected and up to date with what is going on in their online social circles. A part of Sony Ericsson’s GreenHeart series of mobile devices, the Cedar gives consumers a really fast internet connection through the handset’s 3G HSDPA compatibility. For people who want to keep up with the latest happenings, the mobile phone allows quick access straight from the stand by screen.

The environmentally responsible offering is both lightweight and light on the budget. It is a conventional device that is perfect for those who want reliability in a sweet package.

Designed to Give a Greener Choice

Ergonomically, the Sony Ericsson Cedar is a winner. The mobile phone is a shining example of the company’s signature human curvature design philosophy. With its lithe body weighing only 84 grams, holding the device does not strain the hands. Measuring at 111 mm high, 49 mm wide and 15.5 mm deep, the Cedar feels nice to hold even for those with smaller hands. The svelte curve on its design makes it easy to cradle on the palm of your hand.

While the curvy design is already impressive, the fact that the mobile phone is built using recycled plastics, waterborne paint and earth friendly packaging, makes it its strongest suit. Being an ambassador for greener mobile devices, the Cedar also has a low energy consumption compact charger that is able to both give the mobile phone enough power to sustain a talk time of up to 12 hours and also save money because no energy is wasted while charging. The Cedar comes in either a black and red or a black and silver chassis finish.

Feature Perfect

Upholding the Sony standard, the Sony Ericsson Cedar promotes effortless social networking with its Widget Manager 2.0. This gives users the means to access their social networking site accounts via their home screen even on stand-by. Facebook, Youtube, MySpace and Twitter are preinstalled so you can start managing your accounts right out of the box.

The Cedar perfectly balances social networking and business productivity features. You can connect it easily to your laptop to transfer files, make web backups and transfer your phone book contacts with ease. For fast and efficient web browsing, the mobile phone comes with Access Netfront 3.5. EAS push email is also supported so you are always on top of the game.

The Perfect Balance 

The Sony Ericsson Cedar supports 2G GSM (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 frequencies), EDGE (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 frequencies) and 3G HSDPA (850, 1900 and 2100 frequencies).

A 2 megapixel camera is installed on the Cedar. It has the ability to take images with a 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution as well as take video clips with a VGA resolution at 30 fps.

The Cedar’s media player can recognize files in the MP3, WAV and eAAC+ formats. The built in Stereo FM radio (with RDS functionality) combined with the 3.5 mm audio port allows you to listen to music in style wherever you are.
