Overall the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a decent mobile phone, there are some features that we would like to see improved, for example the Symbian OS just isn’t as good as Google’s Android was on the Xperia X10.The Vivaz is well made, and has some nice feat...

The Vivaz is no doubt a good specimen for showing what Sony Ericsson does best -- great video and photo capture along with a user-friendly media playback interface, not to mention being a world's first with its nice continuous auto-focus 720p video record...
Likeable, compact and lightweight, Brilliant at HD video playback, Saturated screen colors, Two camera shutters
Its display is almost unusable in direct sunlight, Mediocre snapshot quality, Gets extremely sluggish at times, The boxed headset pair is awful, Lacks builtin DivX and Xvid support

Beautiful physical design , Great media player , 8GB microSD included , Solid battery life
Camera fails to deliver , Cumbersome UI, steep learning curve , Woeful web browser , Limited app support
Don't be lured in by the promise of the camera, it simply doesn't deserve your attention. The Vivaz handles basic tasks, but struggles with the more advanced features we expect....
Abstract: Sporting an 8.1 megapixel camera and the ability to shoot 720p high-definition video, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a touchscreen phone aimed squarely at the YouTube generation.Video quality is admittedly good by YouTube standards, in line with that of t...
Abstract: The Sony-Ericsson Vivaz is a great all-round phone with a lot going for it, but it's not without flaw. Summary: The phone's tools, features and connectivity options are almost all you could want. It is stable and performs quickly, apart from a slightl...
There is no doubt that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers a lot. It punches well above its weight when it comes to video and photos, offering one of the best camera phones we've seen to date. It does suffer in low light, however, and the LED flash won't help ...
