Holy ...!
It looks even uglier in black!
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

I think, as with the other GreenHeart phones, they're using cheaper materials in its construction so design and styling is taking a back seat 
Price should be good though.

Yeah, I agree. You can't really tell from publicity shots. It'll look a lot better in real life.

I quite like it, even though it is pretty simple in terms of design. Not my cup of tea in terms of form factor, but it definitely looks nicer than the Nokia phones of a similar style in my opinion.

First impressions of the leaked image weren't good at all. Second time around.. it's still very plain, and not very SE, but in a way I kind of like it. If I was in the market for a thoroughly business minded, text-centric smartphone, assuming the keyboard response is good, I might take it over a few others out there.
Price will be key - this is a functional tool, NOT a high end flagship.

I like it.
WM 6.5.3 + qwerty = great.
Plain design might actually work in
this case.
I was actually thinking that this kind
of form factor is veeeeery functional.
Indeed looks like a P1 next step on WM.
Screen could be bigger definitely
but I assume battery life was important here..

I love it!
I just love QWERTY keyboard. I need that!
This is perfect E71. There have been several brands competing against E71 and I find Aspen PERFECT.
GREAT JOB 
Way to go !!
Edit: I like black !!!

The white version looks really nice I take back what I said about design taking a back seat.
