I don't think promoting any brand in another forum goes by the rules of gsmarena,n iphone is completely out of context,anyways Aayush u have posted ur query twice but nobody bothered to answer u.So pl go to menu selact calender,go options tab on new entry,then from that select anniversary .occasion u can put ur contact info n birth date,then put the reminder on,hope this helps.

    Anonymous, 12 Jul 2010You can have 20Mp on mobile phone but Iphone brought touch ... moreYou seriously need to update your info on phones.
    OS 4 is the latest OS released by Apple correct?
    Android 2.2 is the latest from Google ok :)

    Android 2.2 is 4 times faster than OS 4 :)

    and as u said other phone leads in ghz,megapixels and blah blah...even the resolution is better on Android phones :)

      Ravz, 12 Jul 2010I have already owned an Iphone.I do know what I'm talking a... moreI just warn people not to buy phones fr sony. Android apps are not very good from HTC legend experience. 3Gs brought higher processor, RAM, touch to focus camera, best 480p video recording in class and bigger memory. Apple admits that they did not update design. Updating design a lot is not good. Apple keeps design same like original Ipod. People will know it is apple product just by a glance. I know Vivaz is lower priced but every touch phones attack apple now with low price. In the end like in MP3 player sectors, Apple will win :)

          Anonymous, 12 Jul 2010Can you do coverflow, pinch zoom, one touch copy and paste,... moreSo in short you mean, you spent your money to buy a simple phone :) why not buy Nokia 1100 :) Simplest of all..saves you money as well :P
          Own another phone apart from Iphone you will know the difference. :)
          Pinch zooming is available in most of the phones..so nothing new, video calling was available since late 1990's on phones...Iphone got this feature this year lol..and say we bought video call to the world...That was the joke of the millennium :) People laughed when they said it, they were like Apple Good Morning... lol

I cannot count how many of my frien... moreI have already owned an Iphone.I do know what I'm talking about.Vivaz isn't made to rival Iphone.Just check what Vivaz offer with the price-tag.If you want to know phones which have left Iphone's far behind,Try Android phones like Xperia X10,Google Nexus One,Samsung Galaxy S,HTC Vision..etc ..not only have they smoked Iphone they are so much better with the Android OS and the hardware specs they come packed with.Iphone is a good phone for someone who is new to smartphone, but one gets bored with the limitations. The only good thing about the Apple is the Apple Store but for that you need to shell out money. On the other hand Android market contains apps which are mostly free. Android OS is customizable to one's need. Apple OS is like the Apple's monopoly. They cheated users in making them buy iphone 3GS. Where as the only difference between 3GS and its predecessor was RAM upgrade, rest were all software upgrades and that could have been implemented easily on 3G but they want users to shell out money for it. Android is open source :)
            If u will read mostly current iphone users bought iphone 4, this shows there is not much of a success in market capitalization :)

            and if you like Apple products they do have their forum on GsmArena. :)

              Ravz, 12 Jul 2010I Know its true Iphone got kicked :( Before comparing Ipho... moreYou can have 20Mp on mobile phone but Iphone brought touch to focus function which is simple and very very useful. You can have 20GHz processor on phone but if your OS is rubbish, it will still lag. You can have 20inch screen on phone but if resolution is low, it will just make words more blurry. No other phone use quality material as Iphone. All look plastic toy. Noise cancellation function with 2mic on Iphone 4 is very useful as well. Iphone 4 is not expensive now. It is about same price as Samsung galaxyS or Nexus one but only better.

                Ravz, 12 Jul 2010I Know its true Iphone got kicked :( Before comparing Ipho... moreCan you do coverflow, pinch zoom, one touch copy and paste, on screen capture, smooth kinematic scroll with resistive? I know capacitive doesn't have pin point but apple redesign OS for finger friendly so it is no problem at all. Sound quality on Iphone 4 is best in the class. Read all sound test. Itunes is biggest store for MP3. Simplicity and detailed design always stands out. Designer stuff always turns out simple LOL Anyway sales prove everything. 1.7million iphones sold in such a short time

                  Ravz, 12 Jul 2010I Know its true Iphone got kicked :( Before comparing Ipho... moreI am glad I use Iphone. I cannot count how many of my friends complain about nokia and they always say they wish they have iphone. Iphone OS is much much better. (Apps apps apps). Everyone will develop apps for iOs b4 others. Ipod music functionality is unrivalled. Iphone 4 brings two way video call which is new. If you sell Iphone after 2 years contract, can get 60% of original price as demand is high. Others phones get 40% at most. Signal issue is with AT&T. I use Iphone4 in UK without any problem. Buying Iphone is like buying Nintendo DS as new apps are coming out everyday but buying other phones is like digital camera. The functions are fixed and no g8 apps. If you offer Vivaz and Iphone4 free to people, I'm sure 90% will choose Iphone. It is that attractive. People shouting Iphone4 sux as they can't afford one. Inside their heart, they want one so badly.

                    Before comparing Iphone with Vivaz pro..although they are not rival's and don't belong to the same category..You do realize Apple's flagship Iphone 4 has been beaten by many handsets even before it was released..its no more than just an expensive piece of brick.
                    You do need to know vivaz pro cater diff section of users who like phone's with a physical keyboard.

                    1) Resistive screen and Capacitive screen do have their advantage and disadvantage...Capacitive screen don't have pin point accuracy to that of resistive screen.

                    2)Symbian offers more features than Apple's OS..

                    3)There is hardly any difference between the two browsers..You can have Opera installed on Vivaz.

                    4) Sony's Speakers are better than Ipod.

                    5)Iphone was voted as the most ugliest phone right from the time it was released :)Sony steals the show when it comes to design and quality

                    6)You forgot the camera quality of any Sony phone is better than Iphone.

                    7) Vivaz is budget friendly compared to Iphone :) and Vivaz scores on value for money.

                    8) You can hold this phone anyway you want to :) Signal Reception is not an issue :)

                    http://www.gsmarena.com/you_are_holding_your_iphone_4_the_wrong_way_you_know-news-1763.php

                    So in all Iphone needs to pull up their socks in order to be competitive. :)


                    If u need a proof why people buy Iphones ..here is why :)

                    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

                    After watching this lemme know ...do u want to be named among Iphone users? :)

                    Hope that helps :)

                          I still don't get why sony don't understand tech.
                          Reasons Iphone kicked off
                          1) Capacitive screeeeeeeeeeeen which provide different input style
                          2) Good OS far better than Sybian
                          3) Good browser
                          4) Long established ipod music player with touch optimised system
                          5) Great finish and design
                          6) Great glass screen prevent reflection
                          7) Apps store idea instead of uncontrolled apps like WinMo
                          8) One model release a year like other ipod line
                          If phone manufacturers follow above, they can compete Iphone. Otherwise, long live Iphone.
                          I really wanna see smartphones other than apple which is as good as iphone. But there is none.

                              Aliza, 11 Jul 2010Hi Grace,I have been using vivaz pro since last three weeks... moreOhh great! Thanks a lot (:

                              Now I'm thinking if I should get Vivaz (if possible) or Vivaz Pro, I suppose both wouldn't really lag and would have unlimited space for text messages?

                              Does anyone also know if there are a lot of differences in the performance between the Vivaz and Vivaz Pro? Or any reasons on why one would be better than the other?

                              Thanks.

                                    Considering to get this phone (YAY, my first touchscreen phone :P), was just wondering about a few things:

                                    1) Does this phone lag? My current Samsung U800 has a minor lag that can be quite annoying when I need to use my phone urgently and have to navigate through quite a number of menus :l


                                    And more importantly (for a teen like me):

                                    2) How is the storage space for text messages like for this phone? And what's the maximum number that can be stored?


                                    Hope someone can help me with this, thanks in advance. (:
