Noman, 06 Jun 2010Not true. The Nokia X6 uses the same version of Symbian and... moreso both don't support multitouch due to s60v5 so not a big issue,and besides Vivaz is symbian platform flagship so Vivaz is still better

      SE phone have great HW inside, but software wise they SUCK. I hate my Satio for this. And what is worse than software is the customer support! I've heard there will be no more updates for Satio!

        really good looking phone from SE
        SE=beautiful
        only if it had capacitive screen and good 8MP camera then it would be perfect

            Vivaz Pro has bigger LED flash than Vivaz, and it's automatic, isn't it?

                      In there you can search for Symbian forums, Symbian applications, and you will take back what you post because there are libraries and collection of applications that you can use and enjoy and utilize or anything you want to do with them. Try those out.

                      About the screen, its sensitivity is good enough. If you ask me or any sensible person he or she will go in favor of resistive because it is better product in term of accurate input register, you can use it through various ways such as dry or cold fingers, gloves, plain fingernails if you have long ones like my gf have, or well there is no limit to it means wider use and as far as I know, Sony Ericsson is making it very responsive so I will take it as Plus point.

                        I take that back!

                        I just read it has a 'resistive touchscreen', in that case, I wouldn't have bought it even if it did have Android!

                          I'm fed up of Symbian, there's only like 10 apps for each category: Games: 10 etc... Compare that to Android: Games 100+

                          Why didn't SE just put Android on this? I would have bought it ASAP if they did...

                              Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro has a 3.5mm audio jack and work with micro sd cards. Well done SE, the best phone you have made in years!!!

                                  I think the Black Vivaz Pro is quite ugly and looks plastic cheap but the Silver Vivaz Pro is a beauty.

                                    Wow, they are right, the contrast really is noticeably low. However the image overall looks fine. Its a good phone if they price it will they will get good sales.

                                      This phone really has nothing going for it, maybe except for the CPU/GPU combo (more powerful than N8?)
