In an industry riddled with dominant OS’s and devices, sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and appreciate the initiatives taken to keep our planet safer and cleaner. Enter Sony Ericsson and their “Cedar” device, being released exclusively through Fido. The “Cedar” features various green credentials such as post consumer recycled plastics, a lower power consumption charger, an e-manual, waterborne paint and compact packaging compared to previous packaging. In addition it offers users an easy-to-use social networking experience with the Widget Manager 2.0 – an application which allows users access social networking via the stand-by screen. In addition, the phone also features the human curvature design that is now consistent across the Sony Ericsson portfolio of products.

More features include:

• Social network applications – Facebook™, Twitter™ and MySpace™
• Keep contacts close – hassle-free phone book transfer and web backup
• Stay organised with calendar, phone book, email
• Fast browsing with 3G and direct access to the web browser
• EAS Push email and modem connectivity
• Connect your headphones on the 3.5mm jack and enjoy music, video on the go.
• Capture the moment with the 2MP camera and send it by MMS

The Cedar is priced to sell at $10 on a 2 year agreement, or $110 outright.
