  • 720p video capture, camera performance, the Fast Port connector is gone
  • Interface hampers everything, Twitter application really lacks features, can't change music volume whilst keys locked
  • If you are a Sony Ericsson user and video capture appeals to you, then you might be really happy with the Vivaz. Those switching from other operating systems might find it too frustratingKey specs3.5mm jack, 3G, 8 megapixels, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPRS,...

  • Sony Ericsson have been limping on profits lately but their ambitions seem to not have suffered one bit. There is the Satio, now the Vivaz and with the XPERIA X10 on its way, the company is gaining a firm foothold in the high-end segment.Some people sc...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Ericsson Vivaz may not juggle Facebook and Twitter like the Android-fuelled Xperia X10, but with an 8.1 megapixel sensor that shoots HD video, it’s Sony Ericsson’s latest and greatest cameraphone. That’s what the company’s aiming for at any ra...

  • Great looks, video looks ace, media skills
  • Symbian still clunky, camera could be better
  • This prototype model has some niggles, but suggests enough to say this is a far better effort than the Satio...

  • Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz Form Basics Extras Wrap-up Discuss I hate to say it, but the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is one of the worst phones I've used. I could forgive the crappy touch response if the user interface were decent. It's not. The UI skins that ...

  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has a sleek design, good call quality, and a heavy load of features
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz's resistive touch screen isn't the most easy to use. Internal performance is sluggish, and data service is unreliable
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers value for its price, but we'd suggest paying extra for a more powerful smartphone.

  • Sharp 8.1 megapixel camera with HD video. Small and light. Full Web browser.
  • Mind-bogglingly bad touchscreen. Unreadably tiny text. Unusable interface elements.
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is certainly capable, but trying to make it do anything is extremely frustrating. Buy it now...

  • Abstract:  With a curved skin facing your photographic subjects the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is wearing the clothes of a camera - and that’s quite appropriate, as it’s a fab little snapper. The 8.1-megapixel camera does your subjects proud and the HD logo isn’t just t...

  • The ringtone volume is medium and you can miss a call if the phone is in your pocket, especially in winter. The same can be said about the vibro, which is not powerful enough to be noticed at all times. These drawbacks are predetermined by the model's...
