Amazing phone. Great design, great specs. Love the video and picture quality. Game resolution looks amazing. Better than my Wii!
If they would put Android 2.1 on it, it would be a perfect phone.

I have two questions...
1) Does VIVAZ support "lower" video recording modes, like D1 at 30fps ?
2) Does VIVAZ have BestPic or similiar feature ?

I'm currently using 5800xm..
I hate SE & their handsets too (satio too), but i am impressed lot with this beauty..
First S60 phone with amazing cpu clockrate..
I noticed a website which mentioned that vivaz had 3.2" wvga screen is it true guys?
Perfect phone for gaming too..
For me disadvantages are:
-> no compass
-> 3.2" size is good but we needs 3.5" for wathing HD videos..
For .avi format video playback, LCG smart movie player is there &the playback never lags like my 5800 b'cas of the Rocket processor in vivaz.
Hope future F/W, upgrades the vivaz lot..

I installed this phones UI on my Satio. But I have to say my own Satio's UI is better.

Finally a decent spec featurephone that does not resemble a brick. But will Sonyericsson be able to release in a timely fashion ?(me think not). Pity about the outdoor sunlight eligibility though. I see it supports handwriting recognition (i like), but where is the stylus ?

Guys let's make it straight and clear here will we?
The Vivaz and the Omnia are blessed by the fact that they record in HD, I'm sure all of us agree here. So if we are going to compare them it's for sure going to be for their video recording, same like we did with the pixon 12 and the SE satio.
So regarding the video recording :
1- the Vivaz reaches the 24 fps while the Omnia suffers and still don't reach it, the Winner (Vivaz)
2- It is very important while recording that the sound is clear and decent and the Vivaz proved again that it records the sound much better than the Omnia, the Winner again (Vivaz)
So it's clearly we have a winner here and its the ViVaz same as we had a winner earlier when we had the Satio against the pixon 12.
Therefore, SE vs Samsung, the winner is always SE :D
Just learn to accept this as a fact, the sooner the better.
I mean come on guys I would understand if someone was a Nokia, apple or an HTC fan, but samsung? Lol , plzzzzz:)
Cheers!

I am no Phone Wiz but i already do not like this phone too much. Usually i love SE. But, this is a bit of a disappointment. The design is Great. The only thing is the Disadvantages over weigh the advantages.

well i think mark didnt miss the point.its because the vivaz review will only make people grudge over Omnia HD.nobody ever said the Omnia doesnt have its faults too, but calling the vivaz the ultimate cameraphone is just ridiculous.
I saw someone posting that it has a better camera?u sure?as far as im informed,ONLY the video recording is better.and people now keep tellin that resistives are better!lol

mark, 10 Feb 2010haha its actually cool to see SE fans jump in joy.ok, the 2... moreYou're missing the point here. As great as the Omnia is it has its own pros and cons just as the Vivaz has. The Vivaz is the fastest S60 phone to date and is smaller than the Omnia meaning it is easily pocketable and great to hold. Then there's the price point which is going to be cheaper on the Vivaz. The continuous AF is very handy too. So, all in all, this phone is a very decent offering from SE and bound to sell very well for this troubled manufacturer. Sometimes people should stop looking at issues as certain manufacturer's fanboys versus another manufacturer's fanboys. This is about us the end users getting better and better product at affordable prices.

haha its actually cool to see SE fans jump in joy.ok, the 24 frames in Vivaz are better.And what?Omnia HD is still the best phone,and especially the better of the two.SE fans should see what an AMOLED 3.7" display looks like!Vivaz is a cool phone really, but despite the frame rate it has NOTHING better to offer over Omnia HD.

Anonymous, 10 Feb 2010resistive screen :( . .....Its captative mutch better then ... moreResistive is much more better for users of all walk of life. Sensitivity is an issue but it seems it is getting better and better. Sony never made phones for kids, they consider functionality for (almost) everyone.

So Vivaz has slightly better camera than Omnia HD. Still Omnia HD is from different planet. I8910 Has the whole packet.. compare specs.
