  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a well designed smartphone with plenty of features, but it's ultimately let down by the drab and outdated Symbian operating system. Ross Catanzariti, PCWorld.idg.com.au ...

  • Overall I was a little disappointed with the Vivaz. I feel mainly let down by how bad the camera and video camera was in low light conditions. If i owned the Vivaz and wanted to record a video and it wasn't bright and sunny I more than likely wouldn't ...

  • The photography and video capture are top notch, Great device for a bit of music and movie watching too
  • Basic browser, Slow and clunky UI - we'd have loved to see this feature set on Android
