Three has Sony Vivaz HD Recording Phone – Spotify Preloaded but no Membership

by Jay Garrett on March 16, 2010

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz has landed at the 3 store and with the promised Spotify.

Three has included the Spotify Symbian app all preloaded for you but Premium membership will come out of your own pocketses.

Yup, a bit of a kick in the teeth if you were expecting a similar deal to the HTC Hero 3 tariff that included Spotify Premium membership – that way you could stream just about any song you liked to your phone on demand. Loverly!

Three has the Sony Ericsson Vivaz on Pay As You Go for £349.99 or, if you sign up for a two year pay £35 monthly deal, you get the 8MP phone for free with unlimited data and texts, and 750 minutes of calls.

Looking to use Spotify on your new Sony Ericsson Vivaz? You’re looking at another £9.99 per month – let’s call it £45 per month all in for cash yeah? Errr. No.

What do you think to Three’s ‘offer’?

Let me know.

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?

I’ve lived with the Sony Ericsson Satio for a few weeks now and it’s time for a review methinks.
Out of the box it is noticeably lighter than my iPhone but also feels a little more brittle to me. I am not saying that it’s poorly put together or feels cheap but I think I’ve [...]

Word is that the problems stem from a “software fault” so perhaps it’s not playing [...]

Here we go – no more rumours about the new Nokia N900.
It’s now official as Nokia has fessed up that it’s real and that the new tablet packs a Maemo–powered OS that promises to be way more intuitive than the Symbian of old.
‘Mozilla-based’ browsing points to a taste of Fennec as well as well as [...]

The Bluetooth game controller for mobile phone games is finally available as a stand-alone product rather than part of a mobile gaming bundle.
The Zeemote shares a lot with Nintendo’s WiiMote apart from it’s wireless and capable of controlling games without being attached to the end of a motion-sensing remote control.
There’s some pretty sweet mobile games [...]

If you like Symbian candybars, especially those dished out by Nokia and would rather go for something thinner and a tad more conventional than the 5800 Tube; have a goosey at the 5630 XpressMusic.
Stablemate to Nokia’s 5800 it’s N-Gage ready and a mere 12 mm thick – errrr….thin.
Sling in the provided 4GB microSD card (enough for 3,000 tunes)  plug your [...]

I found myself 29 floors up in the Millbank Tower today thanks to Nokia and WOM World.
They had gathered us all here to talk about the two new phones in their E series.
This range is generally aimed at the more ‘corporate’ and ‘business’ user although Nokia were keen to point out that thanks to modern [...]
