Sony Ericsson HAZEL vs ELM vs Motorola Milestone Comparison: Specs and Features

Within the holiday season, we were stuffed with so many new phones… And some of them are these phones, the Sony Ericsson HAZEL, Sony Ericsson ELM and Motorola MILESTONE. Now what we are about to do is comparing the Hazel vs Elm vs Milestone. Ok so let’s just get the comparison started, shall we?

OS comparison

Both of Hazel and Elm still uses the Sony Ericsson’s Proprietary flash based UI, while the Motorola Milestone uses Android 2.0. It is obvious I think that the Milestone will offer a better UI experience..

Internet Connectivity

All of the phone has HSDPA, but the Motorola milestone win here since it has a HSDPA 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps.  The second place goes  to SE Hazel with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2 Mbps. Oh I almost forgot. All of them have Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and A-GPS.

Form factor, Size n Weight

When it comes to form factor, it comes to one’s personal taste. These phones has a different form factor. The Motorola Milestone is a Full-QWERTY side-slider phone, while the Hazel is a slider and the ELM is a good ol’ fashion candybar phone. And as you can predict from the form factor, the lightest one is the Elm and the heaviest is the Milestone. Actually it isn’t that different, I think what matters is the form factor.

Display

Motorola milestone is a clear winner here. With a big 3.7″ 16M color capacitive TFT LCD touchscreen, it surpasses both the Hazel and Elm.Not to mention the highest resolution of 854 x 480 pixels.

Memory

Again, the Milestone is the winner. While the Hazel and Elm uses 319 MB and 280 MB of integrated memory respectively plus Hot-swappable MicroSD card slot (up to 16GB), the Motorola Milestone already integrated 133 MB internal memory, 256 MB RAM, plus MicroSD card Slot (up to 16GB)

Keypads

The side-slider design of Milestone really gives QWERTY addicts a great experience. But the large keys on the Hazel is also quite good for those who doesn’t really like QWERTY. The ELM has the smallest and a bit uncomfortable small keypad.

Camera

All of them have the same camera resolution, 5 megapixel. But the Milestone has double LED flash compared to ELM and Hazel that only uses one LED flash. And according to sample images spreaded over at the internet, the Milestone has the best result in camera

Design and feel

Motorola Milestone has a strong metallic chasis and rubberry rear that make this phone solid in grip. Meanwhile the  rear of the Hazel is made of metal for a very solid upmarket feel. There’s a bit of metallic finish on the Hazel but the truth is it’s all plastic. Real metal would’ve perhaps made it too heavy – the Hazel isn’t really preoccupied with being slim. The ELM is small enough to fit in any pocket or purse, and along with the small size comes the friendly weight of just 90 grams. Lightweight it is, but the Elm feels quite nice to hold thanks to its quality materials.

So what do you think, which one will you choose? It is obvious that the Milestone is the winner, but just remember, I strongly think that the Milestone’s price will be significantly higher than the Hazel and Elm. Now if we take a look on the Hazel and Elmcomparison, based on the specs I would choose the Hazel. It’s more fashionable and more tecchie
