Sony Ericsson Satio and Vivaz finally get a music equalizer

17 March, 2010
The Sony Ericsson Satio and the recently released Vivaz both lack a nice modern convenience - a music equalizer. A team of SE developers have come up with a fix today - and it's a rather strange fix....

GSM arena reviewed Satio already, and listed Satio as excellent, and sounds extremely well!

Just because its getting an upgrade, doesn't negate the fact that its really impressive to begin with.

      WTF. I thought it was a good news. I am planning to buy VIVAZ but now I changed my mind. Why not include it in the music player? And no custom equalizer? It's very inconvenient. I'll go for Samsung Jet.

        Ewan!, 17 Mar 2010If I were SE, I will not waste my effort anymore for this n... moreiphone is not a bad phone but please remember:
        no multi tasking-outdated hvga screen-short battery life-outdated vga video-outdated camera with almost no camera features-only 600 mhz cpu&256mb ram(x10 has 1 ghz cpu and 384 mb ram)-no micro sd support-
        x10 can easily kick iphone out
        (in my opinion satio&hd2&desire&vivaz&milestone&wave can do it too)

              At least having something is better than nothing correct?? So this is wonderful news. This means that SE is hearing your voice and trying to make the customers happy. Look at the poor samsung and lg fans their companies never provide them with something special, the best they can get is to make them qualify for an os upgrade which by the way is from the OS not the company and it takes them for ever to get the upgrade and with problems in it that needs to be fixed as well!

              So I'm very glad to see several updates in a short time for the X2, Satio, Aino, Vivaz and more to come. SE fans you are special, and you seriously should be proud of it. The only reason people attack you is because they wish their phone brands had half the support SE provides it's customers.

              Cheers!

                  Mr. Sony and Mr. Eric, next time do provide equalizer from day 1, you know very well that it's not difficult at all judging from other manufacturers. You probably lose a fair number of potential buyers because of this.

                    That was the comment of the year! Is that why you have to download and pay for barely working 3rd party apps everytime you want something on your iPhone? Office tools, social apps and maps that other phones has for free in the OS.

                    Iphone can be made into a decent phone if you download and pay for stuff, but it is a severely crippled phone when you buy it new.

                    And having these features inbedded in the OS is far better than paying for amateur wannabe version on Appstore made by 9 olds for 9 year olds.

                    I'm not saying SE makes good phones, cause they don't anymore, i use Blackberry 9700 and Google Nexus One.

                    But iPhone? Get real man.. who really thinks that is good phone besides teenage wannabe trendy guys, 14 year girls and posh women with chihuahuas?

                            "Iphone is a rip off when you get down to the nitty gritty, £800+ for the 32gb 3GS sim free."

                            You're paying for a quality product that's why. Not a phone thatis released without all of it's features.

                            I love the amount of iphone hate there is. It only serves to remind me that the device was a great buy and will still be supported long after the Vivaz has been forgotten by SE.

                                    If I were SE, I will not waste my effort anymore for this non-sense upgrade or whatever... these phones are sure flops. How can you compete these phones with iPhone?

                                    Really wasted effort!!!
