Having spend a couple of days with the Vivaz and being a former user of the Satio, Sony Ericsson’s first smartphone with Symbian^1, I feel well equipped to write some sort of a preview of the phone based on my first days of using it.
I’d like to kick off with a bit of a comparison [...]

Photos of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz

March 4th, 2010

Before saying anything else, I’d like to point out that it is virtually impossible to take a photograph of the Vivaz that does the phone justice. It has a tendency to look rather large and bulky on photos, but it’s nothing like that in real life. I tried my best to make it seem as [...]

I received the Sony Ericsson Vivaz today and I’ve been playing with it ever since. If you’re considering getting the Satio — don’t. Get Vivaz instead. It’s cheaper, faster and feels a lot more complete. Besides, the camera – both stills and video – performs considerably better than Satio.
Here are a few unboxing photos for [...]

Eldar has done it again. A preview of the Kurara (or U5) has been published at Mobile-review with screenshots and lots of pictures. I still can’t understand how he’s permitted to publish such content An interesting thing about the U5 is that it seems to be able to auto focus during video recordings. [...]

November 10th, 2009

As most of you know Sony Ericsson is a changed company – or at least they’re trying to be. Their new make.believe brand message seems to have done a lot of good for the company and I was hoping to get a chance to speak with someone from Sony Ericsson about the change and what [...]
