the hard ware is one of the best but the software is absurd!
if it had android os then it could be great
i bought it 150$ last month and still i couldn't install even a sis file!

My had my S.E Hazel broken 2 weeks ago.So,I decided to replace with a decent handset in the meantime,& I got the Vivaz.Here's my review about it;
Firstly,The U.I is quite good.You do not face resistance while using the touch screen (Although it is resistive touch screen)But ofcourse,it's not comparable to that of the I-Phone or N8 :)
Scrolling between photos is greatly impressive.I never suffered any king od lag while scrolling between 'em..neither did I face it in the music player.
Ofcourse the S60 is not the best in market,when compared to Android,Symbian ^3 & IOS.But It offers pretty much applications as well as games.If you're familiar with the Nokia xpress music,Vivaz won't be a surprise !
The accelerometer is quite smooth & responds to the slightest tilts (not in a bad way ofcourse).
The camera,which is the best part about the phone,snaps very high-quality photos.There is much resolved detail in the photos & the colours are rich & eye-catching.The photos are as good as those taken by the C905 & thereby,is one of the best camera phones in market.The camcorder records videos at 720p & is quite clear,with very little over-sharpening :)
One drawback about the camera is,at certain times,when setting the picture size to 8mp,you can suffer of low memory..but it happens at very rare times.
Let's come to the audio quality.The vivaz produces a clean audio quality,but the loudness is too low.However,when connected to a sony headset,the audio quality is remarkbly good :)
The connectivity is quite good.I never faced any problem with it even when in the elevator!
The video player(real player) plays alot of video codecs,including rmvb,mpeg4,etc.but not xVid or DivX ! This problem can be solved by downloading a software that plays these codecs,or by converting them before syncing them to the phone.You can enjoy playing HD videos,& I tried doing that when playing Avatar.The video quality is too clear & smooth ;D
In conclusion,The Vivaz is a very decent & good handset.The design is stylish,but one ting to mention is that the black colour stays a fingerprint mess.So I advice you to get the silver colour,which hardly leaves any fingerprints at all.If your're looking for a touch-screen phone with a splendid camera,at a reasonable price,ignoring the loudness of the handset.Then surely vivaz would serve you good :)

Bought this phone less 9 months ago for €235,had nothing but problems with freezing etc.Then a few days ago it went completely dead.Brought it back to my local vodafone shop where I bought it.They sent it for repair and then told me today It was broken and that I must have dropped it(which I absolutely didn't)and that I won't be covered under my waranty.It obviously had problems with the internal components and now I have to take the loss.Absolute Joke,I will never buy a sony ericsson phone again.Sorry for the rant but I'm still so angry!:-(

Dissatified with the touch , if we want to press any of the option , we need to press it hard.

Great phone, really superior- I have been a fan/user of Ericsson/Sony Ericsson cell phones since 1997. My wife has been using the other "popular cell phone brand" Manage to convince her to switch to SE. She did !!!. Will never go back to the "overrated cellphone". You just can't beat SE. The Vivaz touchscreen is a genuine piece of engineering equipment.

Kak, 17 Sep 2011why my vivaz's memory card has a lot of problems? Damn phon... moremake sure that you use the 'right' microSD card, don't use a not-recomended brand. as I know, Sony Ericsson uses sanDisk, or you can try to use transcend or others which has same good quality and capability.

Is a great phone, deserve all the money, is not expensive, and it have a lot of benefits.
Sincerely I bought a vivaz in may , this year, and I love it, the camera is great, you can record hd. I recorded a clip with my vivaz and put it on my 37 inch TV , and worked very very nice. I`m very pleasent with it, I can recommend it! For a girl is a great phone!
