Sony Ericsson Vivaz HD Recording Camera Phone Release Date Outed

by Jay Garrett on February 9, 2010

More phone news – well, the Mobile Word Congress aint far off is it? ;)

It appears that Sony Ericsson’s latest lovely, the Vivaz, has cropped up on Vodafone’s website with a UK launch date.

The new 8.1MP camera phone will be available on Vodafone from March with prices still under wraps but you can register for updates if you’re keen to get it on with the shiny Symbian touchscreen blower.

So what do you get other than the scaled down (well, compared to the Satio) 8.1 megapixel autofocus snapper? How’s about HSDPA and Wi-Fi for fast surfing, and GPS as well as HD video recording?

Other appealing goodies include FM radio, TV-out at VGA resolution.

The Vivaz will also be sold in four colour pallets astronomically named: Moon Silver, Cosmic Black, Galaxy Blur and Venus Ruby.

The Satio is now showing as being sold out – so are you going to be signing up for a Vivaz?

3 Brings Free Spotify Premium with HTC Hero – 2 Year Contract!?!

by Jay Garrett on October 19, 2009

heroIt’s an exciting day for 3 as it’s launching the network’s first Android phone.

The familiar face of the HTC Hero will be seen in 3 stores from November, and comes with the added bonus of a free Spotify Premium account.

The Hero will cost you 100 notes up front and then monthly payments of £35 for the following 24 months.

That package gets you 750 free minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited Web browsing, and unlimited calls to other 3 mobiles.

Not bad eh?

As well as all that you get free Skype and tune listening via Spotify as I’ve already mentioned.

Ok – so you can get Spotify on any Android phone (or iPhone for that matter) with the mobile app, but this is the first time Spotify Premium has been bundled into a phone deal.

Apparently that means that over those two years you’ll save £240 on music streaming and offline caching.

It seems pretty tempting but 2 years being tied into anything involving new tech seems silly – personally; keeping the same phone for 12 months was bad enough and then the 18 month contract came in when I got the 3Gesus phone……. I’ve been jonesing for the 3Gs since it dropped and I still have a coupla months to go!

What do you think? Is 2 years daft?

There is venom on the interwebs.
Mainly down to the bubble-bursting O2.
I was so excited last night – keeping up-to-date with all that was being said at the WWDC.
Then it happened – the iPhone 3GS was annouced!! Brilliant!!
If, like me, you rushed out and bought an iPhone 3G when they came out in the UK in [...]

Here’s a tiplet that points towards the fact that O2 may have to share the iPhone with Vodafone.
Vodafone has just launched an iPhone portal right here in the UK – could this mean that the operator is planning to offer Apple’s lovely mobile phone pretty soon?
As you’re probably aware, O2 and The Carphone Warehouse share exclusive rights to [...]
