14 DAY TRIAL // Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson officially unveiled at the beginning of the ongoing year a new device powered by the Symbian operating system, namely the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, which is now available for purchase from Vodafone UK. The handset comes with a great deal of high-end features and in two color versions, Moon Silver and Venus Ruby, the latter being exclusive to Vodafone.
Some of the most appealing features of the new mobile phone include an 8.1-megapixel photo snapper with 4x digital zoom, face and smile detection, and video recording capabilities, as well as a crystal-clear 3.2-inch high definition touch-enabled widescreen display. Moreover, the handset also includes enhanced connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi, which are meant to offer a fast way to share content with friends.
“Dressed in stylish moon silver or rich ruby red, Sony Ericsson's curvaceous Vivaz is an all round stunner. So is its eight megapixel camera. It shoots in HD - just use the dedicated buttons for photo and video. Want to see everything in widescreen? Flip your Vivaz on its side - or plug it straight into your TV. If music's more your thing, tap the big 3.2" touchscreen and fire up the impressive music player,” Vodafone says about the phone.
The HD video recording is one of the most appealing features the Sony Ericsson Vivaz comes to the market with, yet other capabilities should also be mentioned. For example, the phone comes with the Vodafone 360 Homescreen, offering fast access to Vodafone My Web, VIP contacts and the 360 Apps & Games Shop. Moreover, the device includes FM radio, as well as TrackID capabilities, not to mention the standard headphone jack, which proves a great option when coupled with the Vodafone Music service through which users can download DRM-free tracks.
Those interested in purchasing the Sony Ericsson Vivaz will find it available for free at Vodafone UK, though the signing of a 24-month service agreement on a £30 per month plan is required (600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of mobile Internet are also included in the package). Additional details on Vivaz are available on the carrier's website.
