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?

Vodafone Compass Squares up to be Next 360 Phone

by Jay Garrett on February 8, 2010

Mobile-Review seems to have a bit of a scoop – this, they say, is the new Vodafone 360 phone.

Dubbed the Vodafone Compass (which may confuse people as Vodafone Compass is also the name of a GPS app), it could well be the third Vodafone 360 social networking phone.

What makes this interesting, apart from the shape, is that the previous phones have been Samsung touchscreen numbers but here we have a square thing rocking a QWERTY board a-la Nokia 7705 Twist.

Vodafone 360 gives you a bunch of social networking niceness such as the geographic coordinates of friends, the address book yanks in Facebook updates and all sorts of contact options like IM and email.

Apparently some of the functions on the Compass 2010 will be gesture controlled using that centralised button on the back.

It should be able to cope with music playing and internet browsing.

So – is it hip to be square?

As most of us know, the Android OS was born in Google’s idea factory, but, being open source, does mean that anyone can cook up their own [...]
