Top 10 Sony Ericsson Elm deals

Sony Ericsson’s Elm eco phone boasts impeccable green credentials. But it’s a fully featured smartphone too, with everything from a five megapixel camera to advanced social networking functions onboard. Plus it’s got an impressive media player to boot.

As part of Sony Ericsson’s Greenheart range of eco phones, you’d expect the Elm to be one of the most environmentally friendly mobiles around. And you’d be right. This is thanks not only to the use of recycled materials in its construction, but minimal packaging and a long-life battery. Plus the instruction booklet is a PDF file, so there’s scant paper wastage too.

But if you think that means that the Elm is any way less featured than more high-profile handsets, think again. It’s got everything you need from a cutting-edge mobile. And a lit bit more besides. Not least among its stellar specifications is a brilliant customizable homescreen that means that you can set all your most-used applications and features so that they’re only ever a single button press away. And there are MySpace and Facebook widgets pre-installed, making this a great phone for social networking while you’re on the go.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a five megapixel camera with LED flash, geo-tagging as well as face and smile detection to ensure you capture the best image possible. And it’s just as adept at video recording.

Other features of the Elm include an onboard media player to keep you entertained, a splash-resistant body, noise shield technology for improved call clarity, a traditional keypad layout and candybar form factor.
