So, what's new in Windows Mobile 6.5.3? In general, the UI has become a bit more finger friendly compared to 6.5, i.e. bigger icons, dropdown entries etc. Sony Ericsson's custom addition, the SlideView, is already known from the Xperia X2. It provides quick access to messaging, media player, calendar and - as a novelty - Facebook contact information such as comments and posts.
The full featured QWERTY keyboard provides an OK haptic feedback, however the surface of the keys are a little bit too slippery. The device itself feels comfortable in your hands.
The Sony Ericsson Aspen will be available in two colors (Iconic Black and White Silver) from Q2 2010.
