Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro Brings the QWERTY at MWC

by Jay Garrett on February 15, 2010

If the only thing holding you back from owning Sony Ericsson’s HD recording Vivaz is your fear of virtual keyboards – have a look-see at the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro!

The QWERTY board adds a tiny 2.5mm to the Vivaz’s slimline ‘human curvature’ contours, but you do seem to lose some features.

Instead of an 8.1 MP snapper of the Vivaz, the Vivaz Pro gets a shaved down 5.1 number. You still, however keep the lovely 720p HD video recording and a 3.2-inch screen which is a relief! :)

Wi-Fi, GPS and the 3.5mm headphone jack are as should be as is the microSD card slot.

“Having announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ in January we are now adding a sister phone that includes a QWERTY keyboard along with the touch screen for a superior messaging and entertainment experience,” said Daniel Sandblom Marketing Business Manager, Sony Ericsson. “Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro meets the increased consumer demand for QWERTY devices without compromising on any entertainment features.”

Here’s a quick features listlet:

  • Full slide-out keyboard for faster typing
  • Stay in touch through email, Twitter™, Facebook™, blogging and chat
  • View everything on the 3.2” 16:9 wide touchscreen
  • Capture the action in HD resolution – upload to YouTube via Wi-Fi™
  • PlayNow – immediate online access to applications, games and music.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro will be available in selected markets from Q2 in the colours Black and White.

I’m hoping to get a grope of this tomorrow.

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?

Samsung added the very useful GPS to its ST1000 – I’m cool with that and it makes sense.
So, why have Samsung in their infinite wisdom slapped a haptic feedback enhanced touchscreen to the front of the new Samsung ST500 and ST550?
Yup, as well as the usual live screen on the back, these new cameras feature [...]

Kodak has announced the successor to its Zi6 pocket camcorder with the UK launch of the Flip-rivaling Kodak Zi8 digital video camera which should shove the Flip HD’s nose out of joint.
The original Zi6 managed to record at 720p but the Zi8 records in full 1080p high definition and there’s also built-in electronic image [...]

Until I discovered that the Creative Zii EGG is actually a PMP that will be packing Android.
Not only that but it’s set to taunt the Touch [...]

The new snapper was announced on Monday and is named the DMC-FZ35 in the US and the DMC-FZ38 in the UK – slightly confusing for the likes [...]
