Sony Ericsson Cedar

Sony Ericsson recently announced a new feature phone during the June CommunicAsia conference in Singapore that saw an influx of new mobile devices, some from Sony Ericsson themselves. Intended to be an affordable feature phone to allow users to stay connected with people that matter to them most, the Cedar has many features present in other Sony Ericsson phones with a few compromises to help cut costs. Still, the Cedar provides much of the social networking and entertainment functionality along with a few features to appeal to corporate users as well, in an aim to balance entertainment against business applications. With mobile phone comparison websites it is much easier to find your ideal phone contract.

Expected to be available in Q3 2010, the Cedar utilises Sony Ericsson’s human curvature design philosophy that provides for a sleek, modern design that fits the contours of the hand much better, allowing for a more comfortable, intuitive mobile experience. Measuring 111 x 49 x 15.5 mm and weighing only 84 ounces, the Cedar feels comfortable in the hand and features a neutral black colouration combined with bold silver or red accents. Though official pricing has yet to be announced, the Cedar is promised to be affordably priced. Comparing Sony Ericsson Cedar contracts online makes it much easier to see which is the best.

The Cedar’s 3G support allows users to experience broadband internet speeds on the go, making it easy to check your social network, email, or browse the internet. With Sony Ericsson’s Widget Manager 2.0, the Cedar allows you to access websites and applications directly from the standby screen so you can quickly view Facebook, MySpace or Twitter updates. The Access Netfront 3.5 web browser also provides fairly good browsing capability with video support, as well as bookmarking functionality to allow you to come back to your favourite sites later. To help you keep in touch with people, the Cedar also offers instant , text, and multimedia messaging in conversation view, along with predictive text input to help speed up message composition. Sony Ericsson has also included a few corporate-friendly email features such as push email support, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync connectivity, and web backup to keep all of your contacts safe in case of theft, damage, or loss.
