Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro Brings the QWERTY at MWC

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, Twitterâ„¢, Facebookâ„¢, blogging and chat
• View everything on the 3.2” 16:9 wide touchscreen
• Capture the action in HD resolution – upload to YouTube via Wi-Fiâ„¢
• PlayNow – immediate online access to applications, games and music.

Sony Ericsson Vivazâ„¢ 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.
