“An affordable GreenHeart phone with the latest version of Windows Phone, the Sony Ericsson Aspen has a rich user interface and powerful productivity tools” said Quentin Cordier, Global Marketing Manager “But it’s not all about work, stay in touch with the fun parts of life with Media Browser and PlayNow , with simple access to social networks and quick and easy access to media files.
