Going green is the big issue of the day. When everyone’s eye is on Hopenhagen conference, Sony Ericsson has released another phone from its GreenHeart Program. The new Naite is a new addition to the green phone line-up after C901. It edits out a lot of the flashy features to keep it economical but still functional. Let us take a closer look at how Naite can possibly win our hearts.

Naite comes with a minimal packaging. Other than the phone, you can find a battery, a charger, a handsfree set and a user’s guide.

The phone is made of recycled lead-free plastic and less chemical is involved to go with the green policy. The phone weighs at 84g which is rather light for carriage too. There is no touchscreen but the QVGA TFT display is of good quality. The overall design is simple but classic.

The keyboard is very finger friendly. There is enough space between the keys. The elevation gives a very tactile response.

Here’s the charger/handsfree portal. No 3.5mm jack again!

Volume rocker on the right side of the rim.

Although the casing is plastic, it does not feel flimsy. The camera is very symbolic. Nowadays, a 2MP camera would not satisfy anyone.

The SIM card slot is hidden under the battery cover which may take you a little hassles to get access to it. The battery life is prolonged because of the energy saving strategy. Talk time can now reach almost 14 hrs.

The operation is simple and direct. You have got Media and Go which allows drag and drop file transfer. 3G, Push Email, video call are also on board.

Sony Ericsson Naite is a good option if you are looking for a phone-will-be-phone. Its pricing is fair. The features are definitely living up to every penny you pay. Besides the not-really-needed camera, Naite is a hidden gem.
