Product Code: SEKANNAWHT_UK If you had ever felt the need for a smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard that could also record 720p videos, then the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro might just be the phone you are looking for. The Vivaz Pro has a slide out QWE...
At £289, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro will put plenty of smartphone fans in a quandary. On one hand you have the excellent keyboard and the capability to shoot 720p videos. However, the phone has an OS and UI that looks sufficiently aged and is still p...

Sony Ericsson has been putting a lot of marketing muscle behind its Vivaz range of smartphones over the past few months, highlighting HD video capabilities and stills camera prowess as reasons we might want to buy one. The ads do a good job of making t...

In the end, while the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro has what on paper looks to be a good set of specifications, including coming with an 8GB microSD card, in reality it falls down in several ways, not least the usability and build quality departments, makin...

This could have been a lovely phone, but it has the feel of a 'me too' handset that never really had much love and attention devoted to it. The Symbian OS still doesn't feel as though it's been properly developed for touchscreen phones, with several o...

We're not sure that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro deserves to be called 'Pro'. Sure, it looks nice but it doesn't deliver a pro experience. In fact we'd much rather buy a Vivaz than a Vivaz Pro, even though we really want a Qwerty slider. We hope Sony Er...

What is the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro? Simply put, it's a Sony Ericsson Vivaz armed with a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Despite the addition, the Vivaz Pro isn't that much thicker than the original, with just a 2.5mm increase in its profile. It retai...
