Sony Ericsson Vivaz a Pro Reviews

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers value for its price, but we'd suggest paying extra for a more powerful smartphone.

Following a similar release schedule like the Xperia X10 we've recently checked out, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz manages to retain that same level of luster we found when it was launched a while back – which is mainly due to its on-contract price. Come to think of it, this has to be one of the better S60 5th Edition handset released stateside by a national carrier that we've been lucky to experience. Although it might not lay claim to having the biggest or baddest camera specs out there, it suffices in achieving a reasonable level that's considerably supplemented with its strikingly good looks. When it's priced at $79.99 and packs all of the goodies that the smartphone platform has to offer, it does make for one rather appealing device – despite being launched much later than expected.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is certainly capable, but trying to make it do anything is extremely frustrating.
