Sony Ericsson Aspen - User Reviews

  • I got one, brand new old stock ! Some one sold it at olx, I Use for second phone just for call & text

  • Or try to find a phone for free. I managed to get a Nokia 216, Sony Ericsson G502 and Sony Ericsson T715 for free. But admittedly, the T715 is broken and both the G502 and T715 were locked to 3, but the Nokia 216 was unlocked.

  • Download apk. Copy to memory card then instal

  • The size is to thick and large. For only texting and voice calling. I need a compact size. Yes, like the new 3310. It's very thin for a feature phone. Maybe yes it's overpriced but it's also a fashion dumb phone lol. Or just buy the cheaper nokia 105/130/150.

  • It's also known as Sony Ericsson M1i

  • If you use for sms and phonecall, this phone is much better than the overpriced Nokia 3110.

  • Same here.. do you buy it from bli bli, or lazada lol

  • How is it battery bakeup

  • I'm from Indonesia too, and just purchased one online, waiting to come in several day, did you found any problem since you got the phone until now?

  • Finally buy it (brand new old stock) buy online at indonesia, only for texting and calling . Price reltively cheap about no more than 30 usd... Some other sony ericsson series (which brand new old stock) still existed but getting scarce and price quite expensive because its collectible item..

  • It's a phone with an outdated Windows Mobile 6.5 as it's Operating System. On that regards, any apps like WA, LINE, or any other Social Messenger for that matters will depends on their developers to support it. And AFAIK WA and LINE never mention support for them. CMIIW.

  • good pm..sir..can u give me a step by step..how to reinstall my sonny..? thank you..

  • Perhaps a full reinstallation of the Firmware will fix all problems. Use SEUS/SUS or PC Companion to download and installing the new Firmware.

  • You will have to use SEUS(Now SUS)or SonyEricsson/Sony Phone Companion to reinstall the Firmware including WinMo 6.5.3. Hopefully Sony still have the Firmware for downloading and installing thru the computer programs above. After the Firmware installation you will be given a choice of language in WindowMobile 6.5.3. During "the first run" configuration of WinMo.

  • That is impossible well send a message to your number itself & check whether your receiving it,if still the problem occurs check with your network administrator.

  • very bad phone its hang is like breathing hang and hang so don`t buy this

  • Not a very good Phone. purchased with lots of expectations, looks is 10 on 10. But when comes to use. I broke all my expectations. The camera is of no use..Its written 3.2 megapixel, but I think 2 megapixel is better then this. Hangs every time, and no option but to open the battery. The Microsoft os is also not good enough

  • why when i want to add some number to my phone book while writing the name i only see the final letter of the name but after finishing and going to next line i see the complete name?

  • bought this with great enthu as an SE fan, wanted a qwerty SE. using it since last 15 months... somehow! motherboard got changed in 2 months. hangs every now and then. only option remains of battery removing and replacing. and then too it needs atleast 3-4 restarts before proper working. browsing on pc thru gprs remained a distant dream. doesn't works properly with my car handsfree; other phones do well. and last week, the touchscreen conked off! curse the windows! battery, signal reception are superb tho! my SE G700 is doing well even after about 4 years!

  • i need to change language for mobile from English to french but when i do that only the calender and message changed but for icons and all options still in english

  • i can't open my facebook in my aspen phone, i need help how to open it

  • i'm not farmiliar with the Aspen but i use a htc touch hd t8282 and the os is windows mobile. to send files bluetooth you have to use the "beam file" option. Thats the bluetooth option. Hope that helps you.

  • M1i

  • Read other reviews and you will find help.

  • Very badly put together phone. Screen un-readible in sunlight. Even the largest font is near unreadable. Keys also unreable in certain light conditions, the keys light up in bright light so you cant read them and in poor light the light goes out very quickly if you pause mid message. A very disappointing experience for a former SE fan

  • My SE Aspen can't start, it just gives me the SE logo, no boot. please help me resolve this problem. it's urgent. any help will be appreciated

  • I used to be SE fan. but this phone has made me so disappointed from the 1st day...my wife just wonder why I bought this crap..suggesting to exchange with a Samsung android or Blackberry which is more user friendly..so long SE

  • Since One year i'm using no problem so cute

  • Hi Calin, Go to your menu and then settings, you can find your blue tooth there. and then go to mode and then turn it on.

  • I Cannot connect wi-fi, bluetooth, it search and it will connect but i Can't....

  • ask assistance from your network provider.

  • atleast for a full charge 3-4 hours net

  • view the picture click menu choose beam picture then automatically it will find the other bluetooth device tap to send

  • IMO SE aspen, if you like gaming(j2me,gba,psone/psx) go with Aspen if you like themes and customization(android-like) then go with Aspen.

  • But if you compare it with feature that are more expensive than this phone,you would want to buy this phone especially if you know about customizing software and game emulator up to PSone. There are other feature phone that are much more expensive than this and you can hardly emulate a GBA game on it , and the customizability of the OS is a bargain too(I do have to admit that the OS is quite bad especially in UI but thats where the customizability part comes in)

  • This phone uses the Li-Po 1500 mAh battery which is quite large for a small phone. Notice that this phone has a small but not tiny screen and also a decent 600mhz cpu(don't listen to the other people saying that its laggish because you'll hardly ever notice it,by the way the price is really good). I use this phone everyday,at full charge from 8am to 5pm,i would still get 30-40% at 5pm after using internet and gaming at medium

  • can u tell me how to paste the contacts to the SE aspen from my sim card

  • Aspen is all about just a low end smart phone. i bought it some time ago and though i am getting some download problems i admit it is a good bargain and worthy its specs. i have problem with Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 which cannot be instaled in either my laptop or Desk top since i am using window 7, my bother is why then does Microsoft and SE devise appropriate sync for window 7 otherwise SE Apen is something while the bargain last

  • aspen is a phone you'd easily get tired of. it is very light in weight for the functions it performs, and it has the feeling of a cheap phone. windows mobile os has it's flaws when it comes to applications. being touchscreen without soft keys means that certain apps are out of your reach like watsup and so on. the camera is also pathetic, it should be more like 0.02mega pixle, that 3.15 tag is too big for aspen. it lacks basic functions like stopwatch, voice recorder, and so on. on the other hand, it's a handset that gives you scope.

  • it's normal that your battery gets low so soon when u call on skype , it's because u use internet when u skype call , usually using internet uses more battery power than it does when u take normal calls...so this is not a problem with the phone or the battery ..

  • thanx

  • This is the worst phone you can buy, its very slow, it freezes, and to read the numbers on the screen you need a loop. SE should take this piece of crap out of the market and stop cheating consumers with garbage like this. Please do not buy this nightmare.

  • Maybe you have too many open application. Try closing them thru task manager or try master reset. If nothing happens, go to your nearest service center to update its software.

  • why does the phone keep on hanging?

  • I gave lock code to my phone, but when i am entering the lock code now it is not accepting the same. I tried restarting the phone but still its not working. Can somebody help on this??

  • Does any facebook user wants an Android on this phone (install android)? If you guys want please go to the XDAndroid Android android page project and @XDAndroid facebook page and tell them that we need android for SE Aspen. SE Aspen has a good hardware package. 600mhz qualcomm and adreno gpu the same as Xperia phone. Tell them we need an android port for this phone!

  • Pretty clumsy phone. The screen is unreadble in sunlight as is the keypad in bright light. It lights up so white lite on white keys are unreadble! Does not signal for receipt of messages, and no options to change the set-up/ options. Big disappointment after loving other SE phones!!!!

  • i think we all have a same problem.i really like this design but i can't find in my country.Another thing, sony ericsson is my favorite, but i couldn't used my hand sets for a long time. After 6 months, they become unreliable.

  • what is the general phone code of sony ericsson Aspen

  • 8,4/8,4/8,3 is nod bad phone,but good one!

  • I have been using this phone for a year or so. Its a very nice phone, if you have Microsoft Exchange in your office. But OS is dead. Finding a App is terrible..! Other features are good. But Sony Ericsson is not so good. In One year, my touch panel needed replacement twice..! The hardware is very poor. Cheap Quality material is being used. So don't go for this phone.

  • there's something bad about this phone, it takes too long to erase messages.my messages(sms) yesterday was almost 300.i erased them all at once and wow, the phone froze..o_o it would have been better if there's a progress bar or some other sign on the screen while erasing the messages so that the user knows when to use the phone again..i restarted the phone like 3 times before i was actually able to use it again..

  • first of all, i think you only need to update your firmware..i'm not having any problem with mine..:) second, you should have read the review here first before you bought the phone..of course it's camera won't offer too much performance, if you want a great camera phone you should definitely buy a high end one..this is a mid range phone so don't expect too much from it..:) with the network, are you trying to access the internet through your service provider?then it's not the phone that has a problem, it's your service provider.accessing the network though wifi is working just fine..no problems whatsoever.. this is a great phone..it just depends on how you use it..:)

  • Why is it that my battery of my SE Aspen will last up to 1 day only w/ only calls and text use? Pls have an answer for this. Tnx.

  • this is not a good phone. network connection don't work sometimes and is not for network problems, but phone problems. is very slow. It cannot handle more than one application without getting slow. Camera is not good, if you try to make a video you get a under speed video with stops. It has not Videocall. Right now I am trying to get network internet settings with no success. this is normal on it. sometimes you get it in one shot, sometimes you get connection problmes for long time. It is a complete crap.

  • yeah..i love it even more..specially the customizable home..that's just crazy awesome.hehe..:D after updating, my software version became: CE OS 5.2.23121 (Build 23121.5.3.6)

  • Now you can feel real power of Aspen :) My Aspen software version is same : Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional CE OS 5.2.23104 (build 23104.5.3.4)

  • It's actually coded as M1i ASPEN or M1i FAITH

  • updated my firmware yesterday, and everything is working great now..i love this phone even more..:) only one thing that worries me..is the touchscreen going to last..i guess only time will tell..:D

  • updated my software and it works great now..everything is here..all 6 panels..the keyboard and predictive writing problem are gone..i love this phone even more now..:)

  • that's another odd thing about my aspen, it only has 3 Panels to choose from..also the other thing you said, to tap and hold the keyboard icon, only one option pops out..only the "keyboard" option..my software version says: Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional CE OS 5.2.23104 (build 23104.5.3.4) is this an older software? by any chance do you have a link to a newer one? thanks a lot in advance..and thanks for responding..i really appreciate it..:)

  • One question for you - is you Aspen having "Life style" panel and how many panels you can choose on panel menu? In my Aspen i can choose 6 (six) panels. Maybe your Aspen is with older software with 5 (five) panels or less.

  • Hi, rusinstein, don`t worry. Tap and HOLD finger or stylus on icon like keyboard. You can see small pop-up menu with two choice - "Hardware input" and "Keyboard". In your Aspen activated "Keyboard", but you need "Hardware input" activating. Tap on it and globe-like icon appeared. Good luck!

  • hmm..that's odd..i looked at the pictures here at the review of this phone, on Messaging, the picture has that globe-like icon in the middle of the task bar..but mine doesn't have it..the icon in the middle of my task bar is like a keyboard..so when i press it there are no options popping out..just the virtual keyboard..hmm..is my phone's OS out dated or something? even on the "personal" folder under Settings, there's no "keyboard" option..can anyone help?

  • it's Sony Ericsson m1i..well, that's what it's called here in the Philippines.i'm not sure if it has another model name.:)

  • I can't found this mobile in Lebanon, since they told me that there is no Sony Ericsson Mobile called ASPEN... and every mobile phone should have a name number like " WT18i - W8 - A8i - G705 ... " so please if someone can help me because i really like this ASPEN mobile phone. thank you

  • Yes, you can do it in message menu or anywhere in writing menu`s - tap quick on icon like globe lower part of screen, choose "Options" and it giving for you menu on right part of screen and next tap or click on "Text correction", click navy-key down or slide up with finger on right part of screen on menu column and you see choice "None" on a lower part of menu column. Click or tap on "None" and "predictive" is not working more. If you tap and hold finger or stylus on globe-like icon, it giving for you "virtual keyboard". Or another way : "Windows", "Settings", "Personal", "Keyboard", "Text correction", "None" - and tedious "Predictive" is out :) Users, who needed quick switching "Predictive" on and off, can create "Keyboard" icon on SPB Shell Panel screen. Maybe helps.

  • hi there, thanks for the response..but where exactly do i do that? cause inside the "messages" the middle icon on the task bar is the one for the virtual keyboard..even while writing a new text message..

  • Something wrong - my comment is not going out normally. Of course! Tap icon on middle part of bar, "Options", "Text correction", go down in pop-up menu and tap "None".

  • Of course! Tap icon on middle part of bar , , , go down in pop-up menu and tap .

  • some are just complaining too much..this phone is good enough i can tell you..i recently bought it and it's a great phone..don't expect too much on it's camera and it's music cause obviously, it's not the main "theme" of the phone..but the music quality is great even on it's basic headset..it's loud and clear..the camera is very basic.just your typical fixed focus phone camera..the battery is average.it's not for heavy use..maybe a good two days of continuous use.not continuous music..plus it's not a very expensive phone so don't expect too much of it..all in all i highly recommend this phone to anyone who's interested..:)

  • is it possible to turn off the predictive writing on this phone?

  • This phone is not working well...twice it crashed! I can't get it to restart and barely had it 2 months. This is sad, because otherwise I liked using this product, but its very flaky.

  • can anyone tell me how to turn off the predictive writing on this phone?it's kind of annoying..is it possible to turn it off?

  • This phone is a disaster...my touchscreen is not working anymore not even up to a year

  • Please don't be silly! Windows is the best OS in the market! Windows is mature, full logic and very powerful Android is new comer and nothing! Viva Windows! Good job!

  • to SE makers -- put Android OS inside this shell and camera with autofocus -- Aspen with Android and autofocus will be best selling phone in 2012 if the price is fair!!!!!! remember my words!

  • I have this one. This phone equipped with Windows mobile 6.5 Pro! and Support for java application is very good and stable. I think Winmo 6.5 Pro is far better than Winmo 6.1 standard. I have both winmo version. Both are smart. Windows like can feels what action you want to do next! It is windows smartest OS ever seen! The advantages winmo 6.5 pro over winmo 6.1 standard is 1. More application dan more smart 2. You can view, edit dan create microsoft office such as excel, winword, noteone and powerpoint! this really important for me 3. Today screen have up to 5 screen that you can change it by sweep the touchscreen to the left or right like android screen. 4. You can handwriting using styles on note application 5. On screen keyboard also available so you can do action ctrl-C (copy) or ctrl-V (paste) which is not support by the hardware keypad. 6. and many more that I can write in here... it is like desktop windows. I recommeded this phone!

  • why cant the phone display long texts?and my phone saves all sms in the sim card.why?someone please help.

  • My aspen can be lasting for 2 days for normal usage Its weakness is bad photo quality

  • Why they Sony Ericsson, doesnt interested to announce another business handset like Aspen again ???, maybe the next Aspen: a QWERTY candybar with better camera & sound quality, good & stable OS performance, good connectivity, etc... SE should have a similiar line product to compete against onyx/curve blackberry, eseries nokia, etc... I am an ex-SE user for many years (maybe six) before I use my current BB 9300 3G. I guess if SE launch a product like this, it will come with better & unique multimedia experience, better features with competitive price rather than my overpriced BB, (I bought this one coz my SE getting old & peer pressure reason, actually I wonder why this device with low res display and poor 2MP camera, only depends on BB Mssnger, BIS & HSDPA as its main advantage can be priced almost USD 300 in my country LOL and SE Aspen with better spec only costs half - USD150 )

  • I use it on 3G network with 10-15minutes of talk, 15sms, 15min of browsing per day, and battery lasts 3 days but its on 0% level after. So i charge it after every 2 full days, when it is on 30-40%... Hope this will help you.

  • Hi, I am a user of window mobile for years now.. my i780 needs a replacement.. I am now looking at Aspen. Basically, Windows Mobile is fine with me but battey life is important to me, can it last say 1.5 to 2 days for mid-heavy calls? Thanks,

  • hi Tush, Thank you, and one think, while music playing have showing track, artist, composer etc.? is the sound clarity is fine? also can we use nimbuzz and making call? Skype also?

  • good parson....very good look....

  • Sometimes resistive toutchscreen is better then capacitive screen. Resistive screen is'nt too sensitive.

  • why is samsung doing a lot better than sony ericsson? samsung phones are cheaper and they know what people want. one example, samsung no longer uses resistive screen. sony ericsson still does with this phone. i rest my case. btw, here in the philippines, they just slash the price by almost 35%. gueass its not doing well.

  • Is phone cover/case available for this model?

  • hi! I am nterested in buying this device..how much it costs today in USD? And..do you really have to open the task manager all the time you need to close an app? Can't you just close the application by touching that "X" on the lower right corner of the screen?pls i need your feedback..

  • aspen is very nice,...but,...whether there are links available to download for sonny eryccson aspen panels this??

  • guys!!!!!!! made in where?

  • It's good. better than android phone i think! I'll buy this smartphone :)

  • Is this Aspen mobile detects in Linux machine?

  • poor performance.

  • please some body tell me how to upgrade this phone

  • guys,how to change ringtone to MP3 ringtone that i download inside my memory card???

  • how much cost

  • how much did it cost you??? i wanna buy this phone

  • get a BlackBerry!

  • guys,how to change ringtone to MP3 ringtone that i download inside my memory card???

  • the camera is just great, i have been using it for the past one month and found no fault in it

  • i m a user of SE Aspen, from around 8 months, its quite ok phone comparatively SE other phones and features. Pros: 1) Good Look 2) Touch UI 3) Customizable desktop with SPB shell. 4) Windows Office advantage. 5) Xperia panels. 6) Sony sound clarity. 7) Qurty keyboard. Cons: 1) Crap window OS with nothing new invoative. 2) Less games, as its is windows its very few. 3) Less RAM, may hang some times if you have many apps running. 4) Always have to end task from task manager. 5) Small screen and small font. 6) Miss SONY JAVA OS which is good speed performer. 7) Low quality camera without auto focus, and slow in response. miss Sony cameras quality. 8) Crappy windows explorer difficult to move or copy files. 9)

  • which perpose to use spb shell

  • I personally do not favour spb mobile shell as titanium when tweaked correctly is very good. try cNotification and cComm with help of cHome. Mobile shell also use too much memory. However it is surprising u got such short battery life. make sure u use task manager to kill skype or internet based software when not in use. those software drain battery quite fast.

  • yea. good phone apart from camera, especially video. juz to share, i recently found out that aspen actually snap the picture right after the click and it took a long time to process and not right before the freeze end. so usually shaky photo are due to hand vibration during click. one way to remedy this is to press the key and hold, only to release on snap. i found this after my vacation! damn! some good sceneries were blurred because i dunno! btw no way to make the video good. horrible video. unless one is shooting phone static.

  • u can use spb phone suit... it's a good software. u can eve select rules of profiles with it!

  • hi i'm from malaysia too. battery is rather good for me. during bored days at work where i wifi whole day, i still get 2 days. if i was idling during sch time, i could get up to 7 days. btw juz an advice, if u gonna get the AP set, make sure it has panels such as facebook or skype. becasue if u got china AP, those panels are not installed and impossible to find. and u'll get bunch of unicomm chinese software which is useless as replacement of software banned from china. and no, u CANT get new panels any more with the get more panels button. HOWEVER, this is a seriously good phone! tons of free apps scattering in the internet. juz need the time and patient to find it. and yes, it is very customizable, though it would be better is some programming skill is there... which sadly i dun have

  • Hi, does this phone have the capability of call screening which can be done on a selected profile? Thanks.

  • hye i came from malaysia too, can u tell me about the battery? so many complain about the battery.. can u tell me how to solve this problem?

  • aspen m1i is good progam ............image and camera is not satisfied.....

  • phone is good. however it gets blanked out very often. phone is working and suddenly goes off for a day or two. All this is within first year of purchase.

  • you should atleast try to minimize the brightness... and always turn off the wifi or bluetooth when not in use... it really drains the battery fast...

  • very nice phone.... good for email and chat.... in short a perfect business class phone

  • can this phone windows upgrade?

  • That's very true I tried it but the battery will not last even for a day.

  • Hi, are u from malaysia? does mms works on this phone? i mean can send and receive mms? which network u use digi,celcom,maxis?

  • salam.. i want to sharing to the all user this phone.. i already used SPB Mobile Shell on this phone.. before this i used PDA phone.. long time i using this sofware(SPB).. and now i dont like use to this phone(ASPEN).. because it wil be condem ur batery.. if u dont belive,u can see in ur ASPEN.. ur batery just for a day.. i mean,SPB Mobile Shell is not good for ur ASPEN.. p/s:just for our knowledge..^^, wallahuaalam.. thanks..

  • salam.. somebody tell me,. i want using GARMIN to this phone.. can or not??

  • plez somebody help me.. i want to asking, how to using GARMIN to this phone?? can or not..thanks..

  • Friend.. to avoid hang, please close all background program that running when u using this phone. Its not really closed the program by click OK. Always go to task manager and close all running program. Then... no hang anymore. For me ASPEN is a great phone... using it almost one year.

  • 1) Windows - Settings - Sound & Notifications - Notifications - Ring type - Vibrate. 2) Launcher - right launcher menu button - Tools - Phone Profiles - Vibrate. 3) You can create "Phone Profiles" and "Sounds & Notifications" shortcut icons everywhere on SPB Shell Panels if you want. 4) There are other settings too. Good luck! SE Aspen is one of a most customizable phone which ever made.

  • how can i activate this 4n 2 vibrate?

  • i can surf the internet faster as iphone n can download with short time...sound also is clear n good....n my fren think this is xperia ..haha

  • Im also a SE Aspen user and the phone is ok. Any advice for the usage? Thanks & appreciate it.

  • Hi guys, just bought my SE Aspen 3 weeks ago and i think this is an excellent window software phone.Add to that, i bought it at a very good price which is rm399.00(Malaysia ringgit)for usd approx at 120.00USD.Did read most of the comments saying that it 'HANGS'at most of the time but it doesn't happen to me. This is a window phone and you need to explore it.. As for me, if i did open a few applications, before i put away the phone, ensure to 'End Task' all application and the 'Task Manager'. It works superbly!! No Hangs!! FYI, currently i'm using a BB Torch and sometimes it HANGS too..but of course you cannot compare with the BlackBerry systems and software.. So, overall of my view, SE Aspen is a good phone, easy to use, take your time to know your phone and it will be fun and you will discover wonders beyond it. SE Aspen is an excellent phone!

  • Go for your operator site and find (or call them) your operator settings for WindowsMobile and set it manually. WinMo can`t do it automatically.

  • can any body teach me on how to activate an internet connection on my ASPEN phone??? its very frustrating that i already activated my GPRS (thru my service provider) but still i cant connect to the internet,what should I do? or did i overlooked any configuration? do i still need to config something on my phone manually??? I NEED HELP!!!!! SEND YOUR SUGGESTION HERE (MESSAGE ME,THANKS)

  • Is more for business, SE txt in more for younger (14-20 years old). SE why not lunch a white/black qwerty phone with heypad like Aspen? A phone not for business, but not for very young people. A normal phone, like Elm but not with that backside. Thanks!

  • Tap and hold stylus on file what you want to copy. Then select in pop-up menu "copy" and choose folder on storage card, open it and tap and hold stylus on blank place in opened folder and choose "Paste" (you can create folders on storage card and everywhere in file manager menu), or select "Menu" - and in pop-up menu "Edit"-"Paste". Aspen is able act like memory stick, but connected PC menu not shows phone internal storage in Disk Drive mode (shows only memory card in Disk Drive mode).

  • hey! i just bought the phone and i need help. how come i cant hear the caller and neither i cant call. waaah! please help!

  • Aspen is a great PocketPC-organizer, but not a great phone.

  • i usually don't write opinions online. my k800i which i bought in 2006 is one of the best phones ever. hence when i changed my phone in 2010, i went along with my (formerly) most trusted brand. but the aspen is one of the worst experiences i've ever had. after 1 month of unsuccessfully trying to use this phone in a meaningful manner, i tried to sell it but no one wants it. then i switched back to my beat up but reliable k800i. i've handed over the aspen to my when her old sony ericsson conked out (after 4 years of good usage mind u). but she now curses the aspen every waking moment. anyways what i'd like to say is sony ericsson has REALLY managed to lose the mark with this phone cheers.

  • Thank you so much....

  • i want setting to set sliding buttons on screen for answering the call now its just touch n answer which is risky for me as it can answer call unknowingly how can I do dat sliding touch buttons.?

  • can i upgrade this phone to latest windows mobile OS?? I am planning to buy this phone ...

  • The phone hangs because I think you probably have a lot of applications opened. Try closing your applications when you open them..you can do this by pressing the hardware button windows key for 5 secs and the taskbar opens displaying the opened applications.. you can then choose to close them all or the ones you like.This phone is just like your pc and sony ericsson recommends restarting you phone once a day to free memory blocks.Hope this helps!

  • This phone is perfect.. I suggest you buy it..i'm using it currently

  • Please dont buy this phone its like the worst ever.... it hangs alot.

  • anyone pls advice...which one should i go for SE Aspen OR Xperia X8 or Xperia Mini

  • Bearing in mind its the only one with qwerty keyboard and not everyone prefers touch, I think SE should just relaunch this phone on android platform with 8/16gb internal mem,video call camera, 1ghz processor, usb to go, flash lite, document editor and steal other features from experia arc then knock themselves out with the price. Its a shame they let it gather dust on the closet. Very good phone

  • You can chat with by downloading free multi chat messenger like ebuddy,IM or nimbuzz. It uses your GPRS connection to run these messengers.

  • well it's a decent phone, can do basic things superbly, got wifi, touch screen is ok, and if u dont mind the lack of video calling, than this is perfect for you, tho the learning of usage for this fone is a bit tidious, or if u looking for something of the same price of aspen, i recommend nokia E5(no touch screen tho), or samsung champs(full touch screen dual sims), lastly CSL spice i300(android)

  • I also experienced that kind of problem. I brought it to the sony ericsson service center. I hope it will not happen again. Sigh.

  • I m planning to buy this Sonny ericsson Aspen. Please give some feed back about this mobile phone and is very good ? Is this phone is going to hang while useing ? how is battry back up and future Thanks and Regards, Pruthvi

  • is this unit has it's camera flash? pls tell me.. thanks!

  • hai friends can you tell me how to create a play list in aspen(sony ericsson)

  • You update the phone software . Go to Sony Ericsson site ....support....and you'll be guided there..

  • The battery must have drained out, charge the battery it will take some time to turn on. I would advice you to keep the battery widget on home screen and not to let the battery to go down beyond 40%, if you do and if an app is running in background then it would end up in the problem you have mentioned

  • Hi all, anybody tell me, my aspen mobile is not switching on, when i tried to switch on the phone it just blinks and goes. Can anyone guide me how to get rid of this

  • does th SE Aspen have a good picture quality?? can it take nice pictures???

  • I bought this just 7 months now.. the battery is dead, no replacement stylus in market.. no duplicate shells.

  • its a nice phone for bissuness man but not for camera wanting people

  • pls can some one tell me if i can chat with it like my bb....pls someone should tell me

  • Production must have been stopped because of it's excellent qualities...It's a definetly No-No.. I've bought this and i'm suffering//

  • Sometimes a single unit as faults or a single model and the consumer gets bad luck with it. In general SE phones are super reliable I can say because my T310i ony stopped working after I had thrown it against the roof a lot (stupid things you do in University) used it for 6 years, now using both K810i and w980 for more than 3 years and with extensive use, and my mother and bro have the t105s and 7630i which are in heavy use since Christmas 2004 so they do last long. Not a single fault. Sometime ago I bought an N97 and fastly joined the club of furious nokia owners with problem after problem. Much more problems than a mere 3 times repair as you state so I would say SE phones are quite good.

  • Dear thanks for reply Installation done successfully for the first file. the 2nd file for keyboard for using Arabic or Farsi word Installed but not contain Arabic language. thanks alot for your help.

  • Sony Ericsson Aspen Music Sound is Equal to Walkman Phones any body can tell me plz

  • I have heard about Sony Ericsson Aspen is not available due to its production stopped. Is it true...? Is it available in white color only? or else black is also there in market..?

  • very unlucky. . .i've been using Sony Ericsson ever since the day I bought my first ever phone which is the SEt68i and that was like, 6 yrs. from now. I consider Aspen way better than my BB 8520. Maybe sometimes the defect is in the user not on the phone. :)

  • ok thanks jasmeet ji

  • plz. tell which one is better ph.either sony ericcson aspen or nokia x6

  • hey guys, how does this phone weather forecast feature function work? do it need to subscribe to monthly fees or do you have to get online to get it work ? thanks

  • I like this tellphone, is very good

  • I bought a Sony erricson Aspen last year. The phone has been replaced thrice by Sony and still the set is faulty. I am shocked how u guys say that its a good handset. I feel like throwing it in the dustbin. I recommend not to buy any Sony erricson phone. Its a wasste of money.

  • i am going to my music but i only see the folders that i have without the music files what's wrong ? :S

  • is this a good phone to buy ....... plzzzz reply fst !!!

  • you can install mersad language pack for suport arabic or farsi font and install keyboard for use arabic or farsi word

The MS have curtailed the WM6.5 by prevent users from have easy access to other apps than them from MS. Having several non-MS apps I want on the home/today screen Sent from the Aspen

  • @rainman and @sumatra, thank you friends I too was confused with that thing, doing trial and errors for customizing the message tone. Anyway thanx buddy for the help

  • Thanks for your reply, being a girl is not always easy :) When you choose your sms tone there's an option to set how long you want light flash for but it's disabled (how to enable it).

  • Sorry again (morning :):), correct is: Copy your tone what are you want - /File Explorer/ My Device/ Application Data/ Sounds - and go (if shortcut not created on panel) /Windows/ Settings/ Sounds & Notifications/ Notifications/ Event/ (then select event)/ Ring tone/ (then select tone)/.

  • Sorry for previous comment - .......Notifications/Event/(then select event)/Ring tone/(then select tone).

  • Copy your tone what are you want - Application Data/My Device/Sounds - and go (if shortcut not created on panel) - Windows/Settings/Sounds & Notifications/Notifications/Event/(then select event)/Ring tone.

  • is it possible to assign own sound to sms tone?

  • Please is there any way to add Arabic Languish? as the phone un able to view any SMS in Arabic Languish.

  • Press the windows button and hold for some time. it will show all the open application. If it is more it will slow down the system and the battery too will drain off quickly. Try to close the application that you are not using.

  • How can I customize the message tone ???

  • whatever. sony is perfectly good.

  • just select your fav ringtone and copy it in the phone memory...now go and scroll ringtones which are already installed...you will also see the ringtone you have selected in that list thereto..

  • Go 2 file explorer, open the folder than contain ur song. Tap and hold the song, then select 'Set as ringtone'.

  • Hi! Is there any way to turn ON/OFF backlight by not using power button ON/OFF switch for SE Aspen? Pls advice. Thanks.

  • very good phone for using

  • How can I active any of my MP3 songs as a calller tune Please suggest

  • dont go 4 it nt so gud go for vivaz its awesome ..............take care buddy

  • One thing I would like to add to your opinion, I too am s SE user for 4 years now, but I just have 2 handsets K790i and Aspen. For aspen I would like to say in the beginning it used to give troubles but now I can tame it. The hanging problem is troubling many of the users, the probable reason maybe some of the apps may still be running in the background even if you have closed it, thiss will also take toll on battery performance also. I too suffered from this problem till I found the task manager. After that life is super smooth, it is just like the more powerful version of the K790i my old faithful buddy, I still have it.I love Sony Ericsson as they never disappoint the users, their phones are mostly future proof, they gave the X10 the power to kill the competition with Multitouch and more recently the Gingerbread upgrade.. . Just too cool, desires and galaxies are still fermenting FroYo, Xperia goes to next level. Aspen my handheld alternative to my Sony Vaio, love it. Sony Ericsson ROCKS

  • hey ..this phone is good ..but m facing problem with my sms servie......

  • @k7ep: thanks for the help..yup, now i already turn off the t9 dictionary...great!!!! @all: guys, i read all your comment..so many questions and stuff, but you know what that just depends on how you use the phone.."it hangs" maybe becoz you press the touch screen to much..put some cares on your phone guys, "some music and files/pictures cannot be seen on the folder?" try to explore and browse more you may never know the files you've been looking for is just outside the folder underneath it lol..try to have a "getting to know stage" in ur phone so that you will know all its shortcuts functions and etc..and most of all take good care of it...i also experienced; my phone hanged, or it reboot by itself or worse i cant find the files/pictures i just received from the bluetooth and etc...i dunno guys, but i can say this phone is fantastic...thumbs up! guys, dont expect to much for this phone to eork like a real desktop (computer) becoz this is not a computer this is a phone (wink!)...anyways, just wanna let you know that ive been using SE ever since, from SE T230, z200, p800, w508 and now SE ASPEN..they are all great...

  • This phone has just Organizer and not MS Outlook Mobile hence I would like to know whether it can transfer ALL the contents of Notes mentioned in 'General' tab in any Contact entry in MS Outlook? I know that all Non-Window OS though claim full sync with MS Outlook do not transfer entire content of Notes mentioned in Contacts.

  • This opinion is from one of HTC WinMo device user: yes friends its good ph..and able to do all works tht are feasible on computer..just need of little patience,brain,and innovation..handling this device as kid or girlish way makes it slow or non responding..one thing do instal less games and softwares tht may cause registry probs..

  • This is the worst set available with Sony Erricson, i have purchased this phone for Rs. 15000/- as friend of mine suggested its a good phone from sony with lot of features available. I face so much of problems after using this, set hangs a lot & during calls it just hags up, where we cant attend the calls. It keeps restarting atleast 3 to 4 times during the day. Never expected such phones, very bad experience i would suggest you all pls dont ever go for SE sets.

  • I can only agree with you, Smeagol! Don´t forget about the very poor camera. When I bought my first cell with camera function I was amazed. My K810i really did a good work. I thought: "Not bad!" Now, I´m just disappointed. Where´s the steadyness? Where´s the flash? Omg... This is not a good phone.

  • aspen is a very good phone but its problem is hanging

  • I am known as a bit of a Sony Ericsson fanboy among my friends but this is the worst piece of crap to had been labeled with the SE logo. Frequent hangs, phone shutdowns, mysterious battery drain and some seriously brain wrecking issues - i.e. you might suddenly find yourself unable to call a person through an alternate number, the touch screen and the d-pad just won't select it! I can look past that fact if I can manually enter the number but no! If you last called "John" using "Home Phone" and you manually enter John's "Mobile Phone", it will dial out to John's Home Phone! Whiskey! Tango! Foxtrot! Real Sony Ericsson phones, at their worst, sports excellent MP3 players or cameras and this PoC has none. Stay away, buy a real phone and forget about trying to save the earth with this one. Not buying it will help the Earth more.

  • hey guys i dont know how to receive a stuff by the bluetooth when someone send me a song, image or video, in the phone dont appears nothing and in the other device says "error sending" but the bluetooth is turn on and make visible for the other devices u.u someone can help me? thanks and sorry for my bad english jeje im mexican :D

  • I am using this phone for last 5 months, it has hanging problem with camera, media player, and some time battery show 45% suddenly switch off with the warning of low battery. fed-up with this phone.....

  • for inactive t9 go to Msg.--new text--press center one "symbol like browser'--option--text correction--select none.

  • use file explorer to search for the files u want to send. press on menu and select beam file. beam is the word for sending file in winmo

  • I don't know how to send song or video to another mobile phone while opening the bluetooth. i just can received file from another devices. can you tell me how to send some file using the bluetooth like another mobile phone?

  • i just wanna ask on how to turn off the T9 (english dictionary)....i cant write any tagalog words not unless im going to add it every now and then to the dictonary...

  • How can you be so sure that it will be solved..because i have the same problem and its annoying...it just turn off and i have to take batteries out etc to make it charged again...

  • pros: 1)Well, it's a good pda with affortable price in my country. Most of the time, i saw windows mobile were very expensive in my place. It has a sd memory card slot for me to put in sd's memory card. 2) It has gps. 3) I usually charge the battery using my pc or laptops. 4) It has microsoft office and Adobe reader. I use it for studying purposes like puttting in lecture slides in pdf format. I use mic office for diary when bored. Easily carried anywhere I want. It's good. 5) multi functions with qwerty keyboards and touchscreen. good that the keyboards are not using slides. 6)wifi available 6) can switch panels. additional: it has stock exchange software. like: the design & size of the handphone. not too bulky. problem or issues: 1)When I first bought it, i switch into the camera and it lags at the camera welcome icon screen. But then, when I Reboot it, then it's fine already. Is it because it's a new phone and newly developed software? 2)Sometimes i go to the file explorer and that I want to access my sd card icon. then it's not there only then i reboot then it appears. 3)i play some ringtones from the sounds the notification settings. Especially when I press the red button(cancel call) from the qwerty keyboard to stop the sound. Some of the ringtones can be heard again when I try to play them. Only then I reboot, then the ringtones is restored. 4) I can't open pdf files in encrypted format. It doesn't support. questions ask: can I switch off the camera sound? can I switch off the sound especially when deleting notes?

  • Hi I am using this phone for last 3 months. I read almost all the reviews.Somebody is happy with this handset while few others are not.

  • *Got problem *that happen

  • I've just used this sony ericsson aspen about two months, and yesterday the life of mybattery problem.. My battery hp left only for 34% But then it has been mentioned my battery low and suddenly it turns off himself and have to be charged.. Why is taht happen to my handphone?

  • Alex and Rainman, Thanks for your replies. I find them very helpful!

  • QUOTE:"Dude its a cool device for a PocketPC, the RAM is 256MB, after power ON 185MB is available." 256MB/185MB available? Are you sure about that? Perhaps you mistook Aspen for another one? I'm told the accessible RAM is less than 50MB. QUOTE: "And you call 600 MHz processor pitiable ? tell me atleast one Win Mo 6 device having a faster processor and better RAM than this one, you wont find one. " Currently I own an HTC HD2 (WM6 device) and it's equipped with 1GHz CPU, 448MB RAM. It's the first/only WM phone that I'm happy with in terms of performance speed. But it freezes quite often and I miss phone calls more than often!!! :( Also I had HTC Max4G (528 GHz CPU and 288MB RAM). Gees, applications such as Lingvo worked quite slow on it. 600GHz CPU is rather good for other OS, but for the monstrous Windows Mobile, it doesn't seem enough to me. However, I'm told Aspen has built-in, well-tuned SPB Shell and thanks to its small resolution screen, it runs quite well on small RAM... Sooner or later I'll switch to Android, but the charming QWERTY on Aspen really attracts me.

  • Can't seem to charge the phone. The battery IS low but when i connect it to charge it wont charche! also trying to reset the phone or turn it on it, but doesnt turn on, the screen just blinks and when i leave it for a while then it turnes on by his own but even though the phone is connected to the charger an instant msg pops out saying Battery is extremly low....Shut down immediately! and it goes off -.- Any thoughts on how can i get my phone working? please help :)

  • Can't seem to charche the phone.

  • Don`t worry, applications running smoothly on Aspen, because Aspen have small resolution screen and processing power is needed in small quantity.

  • Dude its a cool device for a PocketPC, the RAM is 256MB, after power ON 185MB is available. And you call 600 MHz processor pitiable ? tell me atleast one Win Mo 6 device having a faster processor and better RAM than this one, you wont find one. One thing to compromise is the screen size. OK there are occasional lags like once in a fortnight or a month, but that is inherent to Android and Symbian also, Above all this one has got a seamless MS Office 2010 support which is still a dream for Droids and Symbians, and cut/copy/paste feature is still a future update for Win 7.

  • This indeed is quite a good phone. it has accessible ram of around 185MB. after turning on the device, the free ram is around less than 30. but after it idle for quite a while it is possible to get free ram of slightly over 30MB for my set.

  • Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing this phone for sake of the beautiful QWERTY. Can anyone please tell me, how many MB RAM is left right after power on? I've been using WM6 for years, and several programs are vital to me, e.g. Lingvo & SlovoEd dictionaries, Inesoft, SPB time, etc., but I'm really worried that those applications cannot run smoothly on Aspen (with pitiable 600MB CPU and 100MB RAM) Please share your opinions. Thank you!!

  • if i used it a lot, it last about 2 days. if i keep it idle with few calls and sms, 3 days. erm, i read somewhere since it is an li-po battery, do not drain before charge unlike ni-mh. also, restarting seems to drain around 2% of battery for my set.

  • When it is locked it is slide. When it is not locked it is touch.

  • it's nice phobne in market

  • umm can i ask how long does your full charged battery life lasts?? thanks very much for your reply though^^

  • Why is it that sometimes when u receive call it will either be 'slide' or 'touch' the screen for the incoming call? Pls explain. Tnx.

  • Guys, how do you stop the automatic time update? It keeps asking me to update the time..how do i stop that..?

  • Don't get me wrong, Aspen is a fantastic phone. At this pricing of Nokia E5, it has many features only available in upmarket phone such as touch screen and GPS. However to make way for that, it looses a good camera, front camera, built quality in casing and proximity sensor. IF one can go without the handy touch screen, they can go for Nokia E5 for it's 5MP snapper or Omnia B7320 for it's front camera. But touch screen would always be a good thing here. It really is a pity they would not spend a bit more for a rugged casing... plastic is fine but it must be rugged and fit tightly. Not to say it no longer supported for Playnow. Btw, SE does have support website. Feel free to email your problem if u have any enquiry. I did that and it's pretty helpful. For Windows 6.5 issue, you can go to Microsoft's forum or xda developer for solutions.

  • It's quite surprising there... i have quite a good battery life from my set... if used for just couple of months, i think it is still under warranty... quick go to the se centre to clarify it.

  • guys i've been using this phone for a couple of months and i send text messages at an average of 180 messages a day and recieves an average of also 180 messages a day. The question is my battery wrong or what that i need to charge my phone everynight?? i dont know why this 1500mAh battery lose to the 1200mAh of the vivaz pro which my friend owns, the fact that she her average messages sent and recieved per day is about 300 and the battery last for 1 and half days.. p.s. no internet, no nothing just plain message sending..

  • We have experience problems w/ this mobile phone. How can I contact u for further query?

  • Be careful while read the Sony Ericsson Aspen user opinions. I saw a few opinions which made by liar(s) who want to 'smack down' the popularity of this great Smartphone.

  • Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan.

  • Honestly, the battery cover got a bit loose after a taking it off a few times. They really should build 1 with release button so the hinges would not deform easily because hinges like that does deform rather easily as it snap a lot. And no this is no nonsense. mine is quite loose.

  • Whenever I login into Windows live, a music starts playnig, and it plays even after logging out of windows live, the only way to get rid of the music is to restart the phone, is there any other way ? please help me . . . Thanx

  • Well, finally thats what i did.. but still love the good'ol physical button.. and yeah the touchscreen is quite responsive.. camera is one of the worst i have seen ... when i take pictures the noise is so high that the pic looks like take in heaven..

  • Honest opinion pls, not just nonsense comment. Be specific not just saying informal review.

  • sure ka bro paget yung phone na toh?

  • hey dude, the lack of messaging button is made up by the screen button which can be added in spb mobile shell or sony ericsson panel. i gotta agree the build quality sucks especially the battery cover. since when the stop making press to release buttons?

  • I have been using this phone for the past week and the experience has been good. I used a Moto Q9h previously and so preferred a windows phone with a qwerty. Pros: Long battery life. I charge my mobile once in 3 days and it charges up pretty fast. The most complete windows 6.5 ever. I did not feel the need to install any apps (apart from games) Phone is snappy (hangs once a while.. windows fault) Cons: my Q9s keyboard was far better and it also had a dedicated message button Phone feels fragile in hand. (i had dropped my q9 many times but cant dare to do that with aspen) Build quality sucks. (ok i get it.. a green phone.. but wtf!) Bottomline: Good for heavy texters and value for money (7k in india)

  • 11k i give to u

  • Where and what store selling SE Aspen at a price of P11,900?

  • playnow is not available in some countries.

  • Php 11,600 with 1yr SE warranty. (cheapest brandnew price in PH)

  • Php 13,500 SE Aspen.

  • If you want a PocketPC, particularly for document editing, doing lot of texting then go for Aspen, if you want just a smartphone for regular usage and document editing is not a requirement then go for X8

  • aspen or Xperia X8.... ?.... help me plz....

  • does anyone seen this already in the market. what i need is the price here in the philippines. thanks!

  • Yes dude, I too tried to get some stuff from the playnow arena but failed. I think SE is not that serious about this Smartphone. But there are many third party apps, most of them are specifically made for Windows Mobile. just make sure they are from a reliable source. . .

  • It's weird... SE say playnow is available but it is not... any opinion?

  • Use active sync via usb to ur pc with internet access... like that, u'll be successful in 1 or 2 attempt.

  • If you are using GPRS or EDGE then first thing would be to install opera browser, then try to install the marketplace, and try this at times when the traffic is usually low, like 6 in morning. and have a hotmail or windowslive messenger account. I too had the same problem, most of the problems related to online services were sorted by Opera.

  • Even I am nt able to install marketplace..it always show unsuccessfull..can somebdy help me?

  • i'm not sure how u do that because even hard reset don't have option... but if u got a firmware update, it should require u to select ur language... so try update firmware by using SE Update Service program dowanloadable from SE website. Good Luck

  • Look my funny comment 2011-01-10 21:17 - may be this action help : Remove charger out, battery out, memory card out, SIM card out. Then only battery in and include charger (don´t switch the phone in). If phone leave blinking keypad and screen - after a while 30 min switch phone in. If phone run - good, if not - bad. If run - switch phone out and then remove charger out. Then battery out, SIM card in, battery in, charger in and switch phone in. If run - good, if not - bad. If run - switch phone out and then remove charger out and add memory card. Then switch the phone in. Maybe this help.

  • For sending via bluetooth try that : choose file what you want to send hold stylus on file In menu choose "Beam file..." then wait and you see a device name where you want send file choose "Tap to send" and - Aspen sending your file. Previously you need as bluetooth be connected with that device

  • please advise on how to send documents through bluetooth

  • Complicated as hell

  • Sorry with my previous comment: If program FREE memory using (without any running task) is smaller when 26 MB - Aspen need restarting (it is useful for ability).

  • the st is not handy...the set has various problems ...software & also hard ware problems. I request you all to please dont buy this model..i think there are problems with this set. Go for other sets in teh category but not this model. Also the rate of this model has fallen sharply from 16000 Rs in Sep to 9500 Rs in Jan. Plz pzl go for other set...

  • After hard work Aspen need restarting (sometimes rarely without storage memory card and SIM card), and all the time "task killing" after using any application or specially after "hard multitasking". If program memory using (without any running task) is smaller when 26 MB - Aspen need restarting (it is useful for ability).

  • Get Idea

  • Get Idea

  • I love Sony Ericsson. I guess i have to change my opinion though. I bought the Aspen in mid August and after three months all of a sudden while browsing the phone turned off by itself and i couldnt charge it as well. I took it to the service center and they had to replace the mother board and the battery and guess what even the IMEI number changed due to this. Now thats not all, though i got all this done the phone turms off by itself while talking and i m going to take it back again to the service center in a day or two. Though i wrote to SE they had no response.... WOW .. So people CAUTION ....

  • I have purchased a lot of SE phones as I love the SE brand however i wasnt convinced with Aspen. The phone hangs often and guess what after using it for two and a half to three months it stopped charging and when i gave to the service center they informed that the mother board along with the battery is gone. Though they replaced it i still have the phone being turned off often without any reason. I am planning to take it to the service center again. I also wrote to SE about the same and I heard nothing from them .. WOW.. even another friend of mine faced the same issue..

  • You can make UI handling very simply but maybe procedure itself is complicated. Aspen`s panels is a excellent for customization. Camera is poor for 3,15 MPix (SE W715 3,15 MPix snapper is better), but usable in daylight. Audio quality (used by Hi-Fi earphones or receiver) is good (not excellent) - radio too. Using Office, taping text, multitasking, copy-paste and file system is very good for phone (don´t forget kill the tasks). Internet connectivity is good. Agenda and OneNote applications is very good for me (other too). If Aspen casing is be made from stainless steel (like NOKIA E71) and haves better camera (sometimes camera needed for photographing documents and other text`s) - its maybe best business phone in that range.

  • handset is good but settings and fetchers vary complicated.

  • around 200-250 USD

  • If you do not need microsoft office application go for Aino.

  • how much to sony ericsson aspen??

  • can u all pls help me...which mobyl is better aspen, aino or nokiac6??? temme fast coz wud b buyin a mob widin 2-3 dayz

  • Aspen buddy, X10 mini pro has got 930 mAh battery and got to handle 2.5" touch screen, Vivaz pro got 1200 mAh battery and got to handle 3.2" touchscreen, Aspen got 1500 mAh battery got just 2.4" touchscreen, with fully functional keypad meaning we rarely need the touch screen. I had the same confusion as you have, I went to the SE service person he advised me to go for the Aspen, I m a heavy texter and internet user mostly on gprs.

  • hi, i would like to know wether Aspen is better or Viavz pro or xperia mini pro 10. i want to access office files and i want a good net friendly phone with good battery life. Which will be better choice?

  • One thing good about this QWERTY phone is the placement of the keypad. Perticularly the last row where the space-bar resides. It's raised a little high so that you do not have to move your thumb way down to hit the space-bar or other keys on the bottom row for that matter. On the other hand, may be that was part of the reason why it has a comparatively smaller screen.

  • is this phone gud too buy

  • i cant find my music that was sent to me..

  • I agree . . .

  • hey i have transferred songs on to this handset but it there is a way i can play this songs through a media player as everything is getting stored in the file explorer.

  • It depends on your needs. Aspen is a business set with all your needs for business. Mini is good if you need it for music and photos. The size of Mini is fantastic . I tried both but choose Aspen because I need Microsoft office application. If Mini had it I would have chosen it . Mini Pro is a unique set.

  • Check Amazon UK for a screen protector called Folix Anti-reflective. It does the trick!

  • I bought a Sonny Ericsson Aspen last September. before it even reached 2 months, the power won't turn on after I charged it. So, I returned it from where I bought it since it is covered with a 1 year warranty. I got it back after more than a month. When I checked it, the keypad symbols got mixed up already. I went back to where I bought it and asked why there is a mix up. They said I could return it back but I had to hold back beacause the first time took a very long time and Christmas was just around the corner. Now, the battery drains easily even if I am not using the phone which is very frustrating. I wish Sony Ericsson can change the one I bought to a new unit since what I'm experiencing now is too frustrating and very inconvenient for me.

  • Good about Aspen :Great speed and stylish and professional look .. between BB and Nokia E72...loud Sound.. Vedio playback and recording is fine. Patience to accept: Touch screen feel is ok when in WIN 6.5 . Not acceptable : During daylight cannot see Incoming caller id or UI due to mirror finish on screen.. you have to run to dark place to look for number .. Guys.. do you have any alternate to get rid of Daytime callerid problem..??

  • This or E71??? or 5800xm?????help ..

  • You should have research the features first before you buy it. Its your lesson next time.

  • I go for SE Aspen vs Nokia E5 feature wise except cam. Pls post other opinions pls..

  • honest opinion, this phone or the nokia e5?

  • is this can be upgraded to windows mobile 2010???

  • dear SONY ERICSSON please create QWERTY phones comes with SE's proprietary OS in many price range. i.e. copy of naite / cedar inside but wears a qwerty suit outside, as well as 'copy' of elm, zylo and other "traditional" SE variants. i bet many people are waiting for them too. and the Qwerties will be potentially to beat all other today's phones. regard

  • if you can update the phone software, do that and the problem will be solved

  • If the procedures said by Rainy Man do not work not bad..Just reinstall the software from Sony Ericsson..suport.Don't worry it will be ok.After you install the software chech the memory stick . It may have some virus.

  • Remove charger out, battery out, memory card out, SIM card out. Then only battery in and include charger (don´t switch the phone in). If phone leave blinking keypad and screen - after a while 30 min switch phone in. If phone run - good, if not - bad. If run - switch phone out and then remove charger out.

  • it looks a quality phone.. weight should have been reduced battery is very good... camera clarity is not nice even like 2mp cam in SE released before, while at zoom wifi gps is fine... touch screen is ok but not good.. headset is good to here but can't hear for long time as the base effect is low and some steep sound is anoying..but may be we can equalize it but hav'nt tested... its a win mobile .. working better .. display is not that much bigger ... as like other phones we have to handle it carefully.. ..its ur choice to choose my dear friends..

  • i confused with which one operating sys. i perchase win or almond. i show sam. i9000 or aspen, which one. urgent

  • Thanx Rainman and Rajesh. Aspen is really tempting indeed. Price diff with Nokia e5 is really small... dunno how it will fare with the e5?

  • Default windows mobile 6.5.3 interface is available if you press small Windows icon in down/left part of screen in bar like in other windows phones. You can it switch continually if you need. But operating with shells is more-more comfortable. Menu design is like WinXP and switching sundry colours is available. You don`t need delete the spb mobile shell altogether, because you can make panels very simply or extremely complicated for your own needs. GSM Arena saying while as task switching is poor, but its not true. If you create on spb shell panel screen task manager icon - it makes multitasking and task switching simply and fast.

  • Camera, as I stated in my earlier posts is below average. Thats the only one dissapointment with Aspen. Atleast Sony Ericsson could have given the camera like the old P1i. But Audio quality through speaker as well as through headphones is decent. Quiet nice considering it being a business mobile. Regarding Garmin, I did not try it. If anybody using Aspen have tried it, kindly post your review for us all please. Regarding Panels, I dont dare to try to remove them as I love them the way they are. However if you dont like them try uninstalling them by choosing setings>Remove Programs and choose SPB Mobile Shell and remove them. However please do it as your own risk as I dont know if after you remove these Power Shells original Windows format will be effective. I suggest to keep SPB mobile shell as it really makes Aspen very special and convenient to use. However you are your own judge. Good Luck.

  • To what I understand Play Now is application for Sony Ericsson Java mobiles. In Aspen you can find the application called Market Place where you can download applications available on line ( free as well as for purchase ). Regarding new panels you can visit SPB website and check them out as I really dont need any new ones as very much satisfied with ones included. Regarding calls getting disconnected, so far I did not experience this with my handset. Try to check if its the problem with the handset or your network operator.

  • Rajesh, how did the production camera and audio fare? coz thge pre-production reviewed is kinda poor. and could u install garmin xt? can we delete the custom ui and opt for default winmo 6.5.3 ui? Thanks

  • rajesh, just got this set. gud indeed! but calls getting disconnected frequently. also, new panels not available now. SE says playnow not avlbl now for this device. any suggestion?

  • hello i will tell you not to buy aspen mobile because i bought aspen mobile in september end and now it is january it is hanged many times. too much phone is hanged please please don't buy otherwise if it is ok the phone

  • Though Internet explorer included with Aspen works great, I tried Opera Mobile 10 and must say everyone who uses Aspen should use Opera 10 and experience the full fledged desktop browser on a tiny screen of Aspen. As the days pass by I am getting more and more addicted to Aspen and with no doubt can say its better than BB 9700 and Nokia E72 as it has a touch screen with Qwerty which makes if easier and faster to use. What else do you want if this marvel costs nothing to own it in comparision to famous but useless devices available in the market and mobile lovers going gaga over them for nothing but the name. Aspen wins...wins...wins.

  • Thanks on that. But can i use the default windows mobile 6.5.3 interface? Can i delete the spb mobile shell altogether? And can I install garmin xt? It is weird that there are many basher as well as fans of this phone... Btw, the review by gsm arena seems to show a dismay frequency response of the audio... does it reflect on human ears? Thanks a lot

  • i all i brought this phone a month back,aftr all comparison between e71 ,pretty good in speed,screen is small,bad against sunlight.good music,very average camera which takes shaky picture.battery sets well after regular usage.i am surprised with rates of this handset dropping to 10500 from 15000,kindly any body suggest me to sell off or hold this . regards karthikeyan [email protected]

  • Yes, you can complicate UI for your own needs. In two UI panels it is possible better. In my Aspen that panels looking amazingly - "professional" (+ 2 or + 4 panels) for work, and "lifestyle" (+ 2 or + 4 panels) by-work. I am not using another panels in my Aspen. In "lifestyle" panel you can set own wallpaper. Widgets have five skin-size.

  • Hi frndz, I've ben usin this fone since 5 mnths now & learnt that it is just a fone... in the strictest sense i can say that it is a good fone eith 3g, wifi, win OS 6.5 & fast gprs. thats it. I would like to consider this as a begining for SE to this range of fones rather than a competitor to NOKIA E71, 72 & other similar ones.. but not an ideal choice to purchase.. better go for a BlackBerry or HTC Snap.

  • hey :D I had a sony ericsson phone and now i bought a new nokia phone so i was wondering if i can move/copy the msgs found in the sony ericsson to the nokia phone PLzzzz help !! I dnt want to lose my msgs ! thanks in advance

  • does it unlock by sliding the screen like other winmo 6.5?

  • Hi all, i have some questions regarding this phone. Can i get the default winmo 6.5.3 interface? coz the customized ui seems complicated for my taste. Can i install garmin xt in this phone? I heard it lag quite a lot in forum, Is it true or juz bashers from symbian fan? Thanks, i seriously considering this phone.

  • Yes, you can view, create and edit documents with office mobile 2010. It comes included if you have a latest firmware or you may download it free from Microsoft website.

  • can we edit ms. office documents in aspen. if no then is there any software which can enable this???

  • Aspen, I can claim that even Microsoft will be proud to see how Windows Mobile can look so great on a handset if they use Aspen. I have not seen it happen earlier on my previous handsets like HP, Samsung i780, B7320, B 6520 Omnia Pro, HTC Snap or even full touch mobiles like HTC Touch, Touch 2, O2 Flame, O2 Stealth, Sony Ericsson X1. Aspen is definitely special...special...special. It wins all in all departments like, Screen clarity (not in sunlight), Ergonomics of Keyboard, Battery Life, Connectivity and Signal for normal calls, productivity tools, great power shell themes and above all stability. But camera could have been better like on P1i. Aspen is still a winner. See you...

  • My dear, you are confused because you read negative comments. Please try to find a single mobile phone on Gsmarena which dont have negative comments. You may buy any phone but make sure you get it from reliable source. Even you have to pay a few bucks more but make sure its all genuine. Good Luck...

  • sony ericsson users plz i want ur help ! if i want to transfer my messages from a sony ericsson phone to a nokia phone . How cann this be done ?

  • why is it better ??? please explain because am confused between the 2 phones

  • hiii all I was going to buy sony ericsson aspen but now am no satisfied with the comments . So now am really confused should I buy it or not ? Is it better than nokia E5 ? or nokia E72 I love sony ericsson products I am a sony ericsson w595 pink user it is a very good phone but it felt in the water so i gave it back to the seller and he fixed the problem but since then the problems are appearing such as anwsering problems or screen problems .So please guys help me should i buy sony ericsson aspen or nokia E5 ?????? thanks in advance

  • Does this phone have auto-rotate functionality?

  • It has been a week with Aspen and while using it I have been thinking what has Aspen done wrong to be put away in dark zone where nobody knows it. Its made of plastic but has a much solid feel than Nokia E72 or BB 9700 (metal frame and design) as I have used both these handsets and back cover shake giving them very uneasy feel. Aspen has touch screen which enables you to point and touch on any link or shortcut to open it. Whereas our other 2 heros make you slog with your finger to reach the aim. Battery life on Aspen is superb. Signal is excellent and in areas of low network zone Aspen excels like a pro. Except for camera other other hardware is outstanding as I explained in my last review. I like Aspen and since I have used many brands and models which includes Symbian, Windows mobile, android and Java and many types like Qwerty, Qwerty + Touch, Touch and basic keypad java phones, I sincerely feel Aspen is a very very good handset. Will be in touch...

  • just got a new one and am delighted by the thing. a question... can't i use GPS enabled apps like google maps, Gokivo etc. without an internet connection? this thing has a gps receiver and how can i use the apps without internet?

  • Nice Overall, If will windows 7 update! This is very nice Mobile! At this time Very Nice mobile any other windows mobile! Very Very Very Nice Mobile!

  • E5 is better than aspen

  • You are right.Aspen is very fast and smooth . Very user friendly. Anybody nags about its abilities means he does not know how to operate it.Because the price is very low , we find some basic phones users have bought it and got confused,comparing it with the sets they used to deal with.

  • Great job, SonyEricsson! Aspen is my powerful, smart and very good customized laptop. Opinions from Rajesh - i think it too.

  • Experience the power of Aspen...the best windows phone I have ever used. Robust feel, good sound, excellent screen, convenient keyboard, nice features, tremendous battery life, better telephony, good connectivity but a below average camera. Set camera aside and compare it to any windows Qwerty mobile, Nokia E72 or E5...I dont have any doubts Aspen will win with flying colours...I cant believe what I saw. Videos on 65K screen on Aspen were razor sharp, more vivid and saturated in colours Vs 256K on E5 and 16 million colors on E72. This handset has performed above my expectations. I have used so many windows Qwerty handsets from HP, Samsung and HTC but Aspen has something which makes it more able, personal, powerful and convenient device to carry along.If you have any respect for windows mobile than Aspen will not let you down. But if you are a iphone, BB or Symbian fan than Aspen should be left out as your heart will not let you settle for it. Aspen if a great device and it deserves all the respect. Have a nice day...

  • i am not able to connect my phone to computer. i am using sony ericsson aspen. pls help.

  • NO

  • can i upgrade/update my aspen to windows 7?

  • can i upgrade/update the aspen to windows 7?

  • Both are versatile and capable. But if you want a good cam...go for the E72

  • Menu...settings...personal...keyboard...text correction. You may find what you want there.

  • sony aspen ya e72 plz hlp

  • press the power button once make it stand by mode like pc when u want to make a call press pw button again

  • how can i stop the goddamn prediction??as i dont write msg in English this goddamn prediction just making me mad..in the option i turned on the prediction for one tym and it is not turning off..making me annoyed pls give me a solution ASAP to get rid of this problem

  • this phone's WiFi suddenly cannot use..... who got any idea?

  • perfect..but the batery must be longer again..hahah

  • I'm using it 25 days ago . First the battery drained so quickly.Lasts one day only .Now after many chargings it lasts two days with a good average of use . I have not practiced any kind of heat or lag . .Yesterday midnight the battery was 3%. Uptill now after some calls ( 12 hours) it is still 2% . You've got to let let the battery drain to 1% to start chrging it.This will prolong your battery's life. Regarding the 2.4 inch screen . Sony Ericsson never said it is a 3 inch screen . Anybody want to buy this set must know its features. Full QWERTY+touch screen+WMOS 6.5.3 is a very good compination. This phone gives more than the money you pay. Wish you all the best.

  • bro u r using this since last few days.. try multi tasking on it and u will face d heat.. ITS A DAMN IRRITATING FONE!!

  • yes it includes a 4gb card..

  • are this phone have 3G?

  • ve bn usin dis fone 4 da last 3 months... no lags n hangs, comfortble keypad operation,full of nice widgets, gd bttry lyf.. bt it cud b more convenient wth a 2.8 inch screen n a camera wth flash...unless its a cute pixie n m lovin it.

  • I suggest u get a Sony PSP,its a better gaming device...

  • it is facilitated with android version is too good.but by purchasing this mobile not user friendly.for getting options it is very difficult.no battery backup.if we listen mp3 songs or using for applications battery back up is 3 - 4 hours only.no flash,photos clarity also not good.what i have to do I CANOT THROW MY PHONE SIMPLY.BUT EVERY BODY SAYS THAT VERY NICE PHONE SEEMS TO BE

  • Oh my gosh! this phone is not too good. I just bought 4 days ago and now its not charging, i couldn't turn it on. The camera is not good, there is no flash. This phone is sucks!!!!!!! its a waste of money and time.

  • I am using d pouch of Micromax. No other ways.

  • Hi. vish I have been using dis phone for d last 3 months. Me too had some problem like yours. It is wrong dat there is no 'back' key. It is there. Either you can use the back key in d screen or in the key pad just below the 'P'( most right side) button. once it swithched off due to low battery it will make us in troble. I think so. becoz i cudnt find any solution for dat. the phone will take lot of time (more than one hour) to get switched on. Is any there any solution? Since i am aware abt dis problem, i used to keep charging before it go down d limit. Its work with me and make sure u have charged d battery fully (100%). Otherwise it will go down suddently even after few calls. About d camera, i couldnt find any solution for the problem "camera will not funtion when a phone call is in progress". Wts dis...n why so? solution from my side is restart d phone. Otherdan d above said demerits, it works well.Fast internet usage, google maps, windows live, media player, MS office applicaitons n other itesm also...

  • I have the same problem as yours "camera cannot launch while phone call is in progress" Why is this so? Pls advice.

  • Yesterday I charged it to 100%.It draind to 70% in about 6 hours with little telephony use.afterother 4 hours draind to 43 without any use.I swiched the phone off .Take out and reinsert the battery . The leakage of power stopped.From yesterday night till this morning with some little use of wifi and blutooth it draind to 31% only.I do not why but it worked fine with me. Try to make the same . You maybe lucky like me and stop your battery draning.

  • No other key for lock the screen. But you can adjust the time you want the screen to be locked . Tap on the battery icon ...advanced. I do not know about the other problem .

  • how do i receive something by bluetooth. it keeps saying failed. HELP

  • i am a new aspen user..i have some query.. 1.is there only one screen unlock key,which is the also the start button??just tired of pressing that small key..any other exists? 2.sometym the camera wont open and a pop up screen come saying 'cant open camera when a phone call in progress' whats the solution? plz ans me ASAP....

  • Yes indeed to day it started to make the same with me . The battery suddenly drained from 30% to swich off the mobile. I recharge it and it started fine up till now.I had 2 P1 phones the last 3 years I replaced it with X2 which had the best hardware but lags and hangs a lot. I sols it after 2 monthes and got to myself this Aspen . It is very good and fast but I will wait to see what it will do after the last charging.And then I'll give my last opinion.

  • I just bought this celfon today from Sony World, Alramaniah, Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It does not include 4GB memory card. Please let me know if it really has 4GB memory card included, then i will go back and complain.

  • I brought from a authorised store who has genuine products, Just FYI i had sony erricson P1i for last 3 years and it had no problems at all. With respect to application usage i never commented on that... i know they are good and also i know how to use it also :-) but some of my collegues who got this from different authorised stores are also having same issue. You must be a real lucky guy to get a good set with good battery. enjoy with ur windows phone...

  • is it better than recently launched samsung onmia pro4, windows 2.62inch touch phone cum qwerty keypad and 3.2 auto-focus camera? which is better?

  • why there is no flash light.....

  • I bought this device 4 days ago from Sony Store in Jampath New Delhi. It makes no problems at all . This is a smart Windows phone. Very good for business . It is like a piece of material you buy and after you get your own design. Never lag or hang . Very fast compared to other windows mobiles.You seem that you bought your set from a dealer not from Sony Ericsson store.And some of those dealers gives you very low prices but they change the battery or the charger. If you want to solve your problem update the software at Sony Ericsson site...support....... You should know that with this price you can never get a smart Windows phone. 13000 Rs.with 2 speaker phones xtra is not a price of smart phone. It is a price of any feature phone. Learn how to deal with your set and you will love it.Wish you luck.

  • does this fone has video calling fascility?

  • Hi Friends, I bought new Aspen 10 days back although it worked properly for 2 days its giving lot of problems, honestly speaking i am not sure if this is a handset/software issue. The phone gets to silent mode automatically and even after changing the sound profile there is no sound (except vibrate). Past couple of days the battery drains out in 6 hrs and it automatically gets switched off and does not switch on until i charge it for 1 hour. When i took to my nearest mobile store he told me that this model has been stopped(not sure if its true). Also back button is not available to go back to previous screen. This phone is not good when compared to other brands. I would rather ask people to check with people personally who are using this handset and then buy it rather than reading reviews and buying it.

  • 15500/-

  • I'm touring in India now and asked at Sony Centre in Jampaath it is 13000 Rs. with speakerphones xtra.

  • No

  • i will like to ask if the aspen will be update to win mobile 7 from sony ericcson or if i want i can update it by my self

  • Hoe do you copy contacts from your sim card?

  • go to gsmarena.com everything is thre

  • Im from Costa Rica. This is my first Win Mo Device. To be honest i am usually a Symbian User, i used Symbian UIQ and S60 5th. The difference is huge, its difficult to use for newbes but is strong and stable. I use it for work, mostly email, facebook, voip, and some office features, comparing it with my old Nokia 5800 the 3G signal is not quite good calling or surfing withmy internet data plan; before i can take a connection speed upper than 1 mb and now it barely takes 1mb. But is good enough for me to say its owesome, i need a lot texting, a good email client, syncing with my excange server, listen audible.com audiobooks and a good apps to chose. Windows Phone Market Place doesnt have much apps, but there are quality apps. The battery life and his software to manage it is very good, if i use it just for calls having the data plan, bluetooth and wifi turn off it can consume about 3% of energy in 8 hours! when i have that connections turned on it longs for 1 1/2 days. The resolution is very good, it has a very good sound to see movies or listen to music, but not for reminders or alarms. I think its a very good device, i love it.

  • If it aint got track id then it aint good for me

  • SE Aspen's backlight cannot be used in bright lights or outdoor day time because the backlight is white and you will see nothing in the keypad. You will just guess or memorize the location of the letters in order to use it. Also when typing sms, the fonts are so small and will have a hard time reading it.

  • There is no flash light... but this phone is awesome last 15 years i am using Sony ericsson product.now i am using Sonyericsson Aino and Aspen..

  • Guys i want to buy this phone, but m not satisfied with d reviews, should i go for it or is there any better option. Is there any flash light is used for this phone? As i reviewed the specifications of this phone, i couldn't see this feature is included in this phone. please let me know?

  • doaes it have lag?(I mean major lag)

  • can someone that owns this phone please tell me the "real" battery life time? both talk and stand-by time. thanks in advance

  • confius with wimo *_*

  • It`s cool man!

  • hello. first you must convert the file to WMV format and then the aspen will detect that as ringtone, any song. you may convert just by using a basic winamp player. about the memory card, maybe you should go to library and then update all library first. i have no problem with the aspen - except that it switch to gprs from wifi (when wifi signal low) without my prompt and just today it had cost me usd$5 already. just be careful on this. go to wireless manager and switch off the wifi if not in use and make sure the connection is wifi and not gprs when needed (vise versa). take care all.

  • when its does a lot of problem, without you doing any harsh on it, then perhaps its factory faulty.. swap your device with a new one.. its free..

  • Hi, got lots of problem with my Aspen mobile. First, i can't add the songs i want to use for my message alert. second, i can't open a file on my windows media player, it say, storage card is corrupted and third, it always hung up if i'm using the windows media for my songs.. appreciate if u can help me fix these problems! thanks in advance guys! take care...

  • i think u better return the phone back and get a new one. bec i have been using aspen for a month. at first i couldnt understand how to use bec it is my first windows mobile. after taking advice from my friends, i find it very interesting, best battery life, small screen which is easy to use bec u need just the thumb to do anything. except for the camera features which is not useful to use in the dark. if it had the camera featrues of vivaz pro this mobile wuld be the no 1 choice for everyone.

  • aspen

  • Which is better Sony Ericsson Aspen or Nokia E71?

  • which phone is better te sony aspen or sony mini pro

  • hmm...between nokia n73, bb8520, and aspen? i cant give you recommendations to choose one of these devices, they all have their best and unique strong points and weaknesses.. but in my opinion, here it is.. n73: very intuitive and simple ui, best camera quality amongst these three, handy and simple...entertainment oriented device.., but.. imho..this is not a high performance device, dependable but not too powerful for bussiness, has 3G, but no hsdpa/hsupa..not bad... bb8520: has a very rich communication points via ym, live, bbm, and a lot more through blackberry.net, a social networking oriented device..just good..but i also remind you that this thing has very lack of connectivity options..it only run on EDGE.. aspen: connectivity monster...it has everything ..hsdpa/hsupa..wlan..a micro pc,a very strong bussiness device, full ms office compatibility,, multi input:touch screen and hw keyboard..are great..near perfect..why not perfect? because the screen are small, ui is the hardest amongst three..but when you get used to it you'll love it.. it up to you .. what kind of user are you?

  • i'm choosing between Aspen and Nokia C6... which one will i go for?

  • How do u feel now? Is the fone ok or still the same?! U may face some initial problem when u use Windows based fone, but will like it later..

  • Hi aspen users, need help, anyone out there who knows the proper settings of om 4.2 torque on this phone?thanks.

  • Hi aspen users, need help, anyone out there who knows the proper settings of om 4.2 torque on this phone?thanks.

  • how can i get a full service manual for the Aspen?

  • of course you can it has full compatibilty with ms office files, and the best part is... you can upgrade you ms office mobile version into 2010 version, you can download it via windows marketplace or you can have your device totally upgraded via se update service...

  • Tap 3G then set to auto.

  • Ive bought this ph0ne in ab0ut 3 days n0w and stil can't get my gprs/3G done using globe sim, can anyone out there help me?thanks

  • Hi, Aspen users... Need some help from you guys! Does your Aspen have the ability to edit & to make new Office files? Thanks :)

  • More the applications & functions lesser the battery life... keep this in mind.. buy a normal foe without much functions & no camera, you can use it for many days. well this is my experience!! make sure you switch off the wifi & keep checking the task manager for running applications you can see the difference. Try it.

  • i agree with you, a use se aspen in a heavy usage, mostly internet, the battery life above smartphones standard..yes i always charge it overnight, because usually in the midnight the batt is low, but hey as i told before i use it in a heavy data usage... in my experience it just enough..my last two smartphones are just the same..the batt is last a day, i only experience 5 days of battery life when i use entry level dualband phone (just for calling and sms..) for all complainers i have one good suggestions for you all, just plug your phone to a car battery.. it will last long ...

  • I don't understand why people complain about battery life. Being a wm smartphone, the Aspen's battery lifetime is superior! For me, it lasts 5..6 days with moderate usage (calling, sms). If course, if you have wifi always on and disable standby mode, it will drain the battery rapidly. So, complainers should better read the manual and learn how to set up your phone...

  • well, i've already use se aspen for about a months, so far..no complaints, hardware are great, eventhough the screen are too small..sound are great compared to my nokia xpressmusic, especially when you're managed to find a software to enhance the audio quality of winmo... here's my pro cons pro : - wm are great, this is for you who can take advantages of wm.. - keypad are nice..soft and very easy to type, although your thumbs are huge... - signal are good.. its stable and call quality are crisp and clear - audio playback quality is above average..se always superior on this one :-) even on a low end walkman series... - gps reception are great my cons : - small screen - no multi touch..(when you install 3rd prty keyboard s/w, you cant type fast, you better stay on h/w keyboard) - s/w support (especially games, compared to an iphone/ipod, duh...) - ui are hard...(need a few days to get used to it..., not as intuitive as s60v3, s60v5...) my rating its 85/100 cheers to all...

  • I'll buy this phone to replacement my old P1i but still confusing regarding battery performance as previous comment. Is it worth to buy Aspen for replacement P1i? Without front camera, no flash and dedicated camera button?

  • My Sony Aspen phone collapsed within 14 days of purchase. Cannot start up, Sony Ericsson has been sitting on it for last 10 days. Battery life is also pathetic.

This is not the only site where it happens there are many more tech2.com and techtree.com are just to name a few. For ur reply, the camera and ARC-slide design, i dint say good or bad i said SE introduced them and copied by nokia. For symbian, can u name a phone made by nokia recognized as smartphone and was launched before P990i or P1i.

  • I have just purchased the SE Aspen and I am not able to make any calls. I tried removing the Sim Card and insertng it in another Mobile and from which I can make the call. I can receive the calls on SE Aspen but cannot make. So please help me. Regards

  • hi iam unable unlock my sonyericsson aspen.if someone knows pls reply. dan

Sony sucks.....Nokia RULES

  • pls help me to unlock my sony ericsson aspen slide lock as suddenly im not able to unlock it.

  • nokia killer, u r extremely right. SE is the best.

  • Dude u were not before but u became later a fool by saying the finn crap is like merc(well dat too is a crap whn compred 2 japanese hitech and finely handling cars), coming back. SE defined 3.2mp cam in k790i soon copied by finns in nseries, SE defined music playing handsets called walkmans, lately copied by finns and called it XpressMusic. SE defined arcslide design, soon copied by finns in something cheap looking called n97, even continuing to n9. Symbian was a crappy OS for feature phones, SE made it a smart phone OS by putting it in P990i and P1i. So be a stupid and play with your finn toy. If you get back ur senses den v shall hav a chat.

  • I agree to you at some point. However, I find the Nokia E72 a tad expensive than the SE Aspen. I am a 12 year Nokia loyalist, never handled a handset from another brand before. The reason I came to think of buying Aspen is that it is a business oriented handset that offers a higher 256MB RAM and 256MB ROM compared to that of the E72, and offers a lower price than of the E72, considering they both have a 600MHz Microprocessor. I also have taken into account other factors of which I consider Nokia E72 as the winner. Such as the camera, thinness, design, UI consistency, and what-you-can-name-it features. However, it is not the design, multimedia, camera, and whatever features that I need from a phone. It is the ability to do more tasks given possible, and from the way I see it, 256MB of RAM and ROM with a zippy 600MHz Microprocessor could do more task than of a 128MB RAM + 600 MHz Microprocessor. If you insist that this handset might not qualify my expectations, then I might just as well go for look for another handset, the multi-tasking monster from Nokia perhaps.

  • Don't be a fool buddy - I have been loyal SE customer for more then 10 years (best ever SE I have owned was k800i - which is still used by my father). My last SE was Xperia X2 which I was happy to sell about 2 months ago. Since then I am using Nokia E72 and I can't stop to wonder how can that be that I was soooo stupid for so many years. What I can tell from todays point of view is that comparing Nokia E72 with Xperia X2 (X2 is considered far superior then Aspen by SE themself) is like compare latest Mercedes Benz model with Dacia (a made in Romania Renault substitute). If you don't believe me - try it for you self ;-) Personally I swear that I will NEVER again buy anything from SE - even if they give it for free...

  • I am currently a Nokia E63 user, and I am interested in buying this phone aside Nokia E72. However, I have some questions regarding the phone quality and performance. 1) Phone durability. I accidentally drop my phone rarely. Will the SE Aspen withstand a fall from 3-4 feet without getting serious damage? (like pixel loss, or faceplate cover crack) 2) Poor Task Switching. I am a heavy user, and switching between tasks is a necessity. I have read in the review that the phone offers poor task switching functionality, is it true? I look forward by any of your answers.

  • in my opinion it is the best buy......i have describe the some of the advantages and disadvantages......u can read it.

  • yes....

  • i bought this phone on 10th September. Initially i confused with nokia E71, E72, SE Aspen and Blackberry curve 8900. but right now i am the most happiest person on the earth with this phone. I use it for business purpose only though it has some nice multimedia feature. Some of the advantage of Aspen over E71,E72 and Curve 8900 are 1. Windows Os so u have more application to customise ur phone unlike the Symbian and blackberry OS. 2. Lots of Pre-Installed application. 3. 3G support 4. Screen Resolution is low but the display has good clarity. 5. Fast GPS data download. (in rainy season it has detected 7 station) 6. Good battery life (with 100% charging it has remains almost 4 days with push email, calling and massaging) 7. Very responsive key-pad. 8. Combination of touch and QWERTY gives the Fast and fun Experience. 9. It looks different and smart(particularly white-silver) than the curvy nokias and blackberrys. Some of the disadvantages of Aspen since i used 1. size of screen is small comparing the size of phone though it's same as nokias and BBs. 2. little bit confusing to use due to bad UI. 3. SPB shell is great looking but the different interface(pop up menu has different skin) gives it a sour look. 4. Camera is not configure well. 5. 65k color Advise to SE......... 1. Phone is great but i want only one up gradation that is uniform skin to this os so if i select the SPB shell then the pop up menu or messaging box or file explorer box has the same shell skin.......plz. plz.

  • does it charge through usb?

  • Hi Guys how do you take care your battery? Will it be okay if I charge the battery with 2 bars remaining or i have to wait for a low battery notice to charge. I updated the phone yesterday and still, my battery drained fast. How long will it take for the battery to be in its full potential. By the way, my BF's samsung wave also has some battery issue when he first bought but after a month the battery is working fine.

  • is it best to buy this aspen or else some other phone?

  • Class 10 for GPRS & EDGE is such a shame for a phone of this stature... perhaps the only reason why I decided not to even go to a store and demo-use it, let alone purchase it.

  • Hi, Can I restore my backed up contacts in m. card to Aspen?If not, is it possible to send them by bluetooth from P1 or Elm to Aspen? Do you think Aspen is a good replacement for P1? Thanks alot.

  • Hi Scott, If you're a busy-businessman or a type of person who cant live without PC, then go for it... But if you're a type of person that plays mp3 or loves taking pictures using phone, then better get other models like cybershot or walkman...or iphone =P Think first on what you need, then decide what model can suit you... I decided to buy Aspen since I wanted features that are the same or better than my old P1i..Aspen, you can now sync your contacts,tasks,calendar in your pc.. I encountered problems on the unit, dead pixels and my battery drains very fast, but of course I asked for a replacement and got no issues in the store about it... Overall I'm enjoying my new phone coz it fits me well..

  • Dear Scott... It's endless to hear all the opinions, some are good, some are bad... It confuse me too... Because some are just hoax (SE / WinMo hater)... It's really a good phone IMO, if u are an experienced user, go for it... If not, don't buy... Because they who say SE / WinMo are bad just a fool that can't use their smartphone well

  • ???

  • Im planning to buy this phone but I got confused when I read your opinions. some say it is a bad phone and have a lot of problems. tell me if it worth to buy this phone or not. thanks.

  • i got this phone on the 8th sep and its been working fine so far .. n yes it did hang for a while when taking pictures but took it back they said it needed some software updates.. now its working fine and i hope so as well..

  • the worst phone ever deadpixels,badresulation,always stucks,sucks poor phone worst touch.

  • Hi, my battery only last for whole day on a standby mode.. I even changed the network to GSM only and even the brightness.. Did u also encounter this during your first week?

  • Menu -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services -> Band -> "please select preffered netowrk mode" from Auto to GSM... I hope we are on the same boat...

  • My battery lasts 4..7 Days, depending on usage! As stated earlier, give it some time to calibrate and never discharge below 5%. Also, be sure to deaktivate WLAN if not needed, reduce brightness and let it switch off automatically (Start/Settings/Brightness).

  • I think it's not normal. I also got the same problem and I just asked the store for a replacement

  • Dear valek, I also facing same problem regarding batt. I just bought last week and power drain almost 60% per day without heavy use....(actually it's my second phone) Max charge only on 80% sometime 60% This a very worse phone ever My oppinion , Sony only good wt low end phone, when csme to high end phone, very poor compare to others Now I change to nokia X6 and very happy wt it...

  • Just bought my SE Aspen last Sep11 2010, per my initial checking, everything was fine util my BF found that the screen has few dead pixels.Of course we went back to SE store and ask for a replacement, the second fone still have some dead pixels. Technically this is my 3rd Aspen as we asked for a replacement twice. Right now I'm enjoying my Aspen,its nice but it could had been better if the screen is wide.

  • ecxellent phone, no complaints at all.

  • Hi Guys, My battery drains within a day, is this normal? Also, I didn't even use my aspen since I got two phone and on weekends I mostly used the family phone. I noticed that my battery drained and left two bars of battery. I got a feeling that it was cause by 3g. Is there a way to turn off the 3g. I can't find it in the manual. Thank you very much!

  • dear all, I need a real business phone with qwerty keyboard, aspen or xperia x2?

  • dear tsering, have you read the disclamer on se aspen specs page? This info is just a base not 100% correct, before you buy something you should first find other references, best is, you call the dealer first too confirm the content of the bundled package? SE dealer in indonesia already warn me about unavailability of sd card, but i didnt care, i bought it, but still im really satisfied about this phone..
