The Vivaz is a smartphone, you can get all these programs that are missing from the provided Symbian OS package. That's what I did, all the games and application I like, I've installed it myself, because Symbian have a lot of programs available in the internet for free or for a small fee. You can try www.mobile9.com as a starting point for all the software you need and more. I too, missed the Code Memo, but I found another one that I am using now, which is much, much better. That's why they are called smartphone, it's not a simple phone with few Java programs anymore, they just added the Java functionality, so they can still run the programs from previous models. You can try www.getjar.com, if you want more Java application for your phone...

      the heat produced is normal in all phones and specially if you use the Wi-Fi connected to internet radio at the same time
      the heat is produced by the high current drawn from the battery when using many functions such as Wi fi , phone speakers on hi volume , etc

          I have been on this forum in the past and I have deceided to come back to convey some of my comments
          As a big Sony Ericsson fan and I have bought most of their mobile phones to be part of my massive Sony Ericsson collection .
          As for VIVAZ is concerned , I have some comments that made me to be annoyed

          1- the phone is using NOKIA Symbian platform and most of the companies are making their own platforms , this made SATIO to look like a NOKIA phone

          2- 2 years ago Sony Ericsson had a Sofware company called UIQ and they have made nice phones back then , and that time UIQ used the Symbian to develop their programs , now the NOKIA S60 lacks some of the feature that I have used extensively such as accepting calls , either from the contact list , or from my customised list and Groups , sadly this is not in S60 by Nokia .

          3- as in JAVA phones and in UIQ symbian phones , you can detect the % of the power left and this is abscent in This S60 platform

          4- when connecting to WI FI Java phones WI FI Indicator turn into in Green colour but this is not implemented in S60 platform .

          5- and as a general comment , that sony ericsson have removed completely the CODE MEMO from all new phones -- and thats sad

          as you can see that Sony ericsson has shifted away from some basic features that we used to have in their phones and that I used to love and use

          As sony ericsson it should have kept some of its sotware characteristics that we used to distiguish from the rest and this made me to be in dilema on what is the next ommissions and changes that we might see.

                          KMY, 12 May 2010Is there someoane familiar with Sonny Ericson applicatiions... moreno keep your iphone 3gs because symbian is a bit outdated
                          if you want to change your phone for a better one i suggest you to go for SE X10 or HTC Desire
                          both of them has a modern OS(android)and superfast cpu and ram and excellent UI with excellent build quality
                          dont get me wrong vivaz is a good phone too but cant be better than iphone 3gs because of its OS

                                    Can the symbian operating system be re-installed from the internet or can it be replaced with another operating system?

                                        Vivaz stunning phone, very fast, Apps work fine and playnow am able to download easy. Net is very fast. I only have 1 thing against it, typing messages is a little awkward and you can easily mispell words (but im just used to the N97 keyboard). If I was entirely honest I would wait for the Pro as you get the keyboard, but then you lose the 8mp to 5mp,having said that I have no regrets buying this one
