Sony Ericsson Hazel Review

Welcome to the Sony Ericsson Hazel review/information page.  The SE Hazel is a deceptively fully functional mobile phone.  The Hazel in hindsight is essentially a repackage Elm but in a slider phone format and like its sister phone it boasts a ton of hardware and software features you would actually use. We don’t know why its called the Hazel but this naming system is what SE are doing these days with all their phones.

We haven’t managed to get our hands on a real one yet so this page is ‘reserved’ for the full review when that happens.  So until then here are our comments.

The Hazel is packed with the latest hardware for 2010.  It features 3G, Wi-Fi, Web browser with FLASH, A-GPS and a 5Mp camera so all the latest and probably essential features of a mobile phone in the years ahead.   Front on it looks like a regular chocolate bar phone until you see the side profile and it has a curved back!  Yes it uses real metal and rubberized plastics so should feel good in the hand and use.  Should be a decent mobile when it is released.
