  • I'm going to go back to my original statement again. Nostalgia is a curious thing, and if it weren't for nostalgia I might have given up on the Vivaz straight away, however, I'm glad to have seen it through because for every little niggling issue I ha...

  • Abstract:  Sticking with the current Symbian touchscreen operating system is certainly a brave move for Sony Ericsson. The Satio had a number of software issues that got the phone a lot of negative publicity, so it is vital for the company to get things right sec...

  • A beautiful design with a great camera, however the Symbian operating system creaks under the weight of Vodafone's branding, making it a nightmare to use. ...

  • T he Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a cell phone with a sleek design which you would not relate with Sony Ericsson right away. Together with the recently introduced Sony Ericsson X10, the Vivaz belongs to a whole new line of Sony Ericsson smartphones. The V...

  • Whilst the Sony Ericsson Vivaz does in many ways sit in the shadow of the Satio with the slightly poorer camera and an incredibly poor screen lock system, it does still carry its own identity very well and is all things considered a very good phone.It ...

  • Abstract:  Neither video nor stills shooting are entirely without their problems, and we aren't bowled over by S60 either. But these things noted, the 720p video shooting could still be a lure for you. Sony Ericsson - Vivaz price Buy Sony Ericsson Vivaz securely...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is the company’s latest touchscreen handset. If you’ve ever used a Sony Ericsson Satio before, you’ll be right at home with the Vivaz. It runs the same operating system and aims to juggle all your tunes and videos in the same wa...

  • The Vivaz is a beautifully finished style phone that's backed up by a wealth of smart phone functionality and a genuinely marvellous camera. The HD 720p recording is quite possibly the best we've seen and the still camera is no slouch either, though ...
