  • I have one but it doesnot open why

  • excellent camera quality

  • Its a good phone low price and have many programs.

  • can i buy this phone????

  • This phone is shit. It is not working properly. I purchased it when it came out new to market and after 2 months of using it went dead, stopped responding. My friend had the same problem. I waste lots of money buying that piece of rubbish.

  • this is very nice phone excellent camera

  • Do you want mine? Just give me some android

  • this phone is very well and good progress

  • ghosh! the screen of my two year old phone is insensitive and sometimes auto activates itself.

  • I bought my vivaz original set from Sony authorized seller last 3 1/2 year. Until today still OK,,,, My problem is this phone not support for android.

  • how to screen a call & sms? calls barriing

  • this phone is worse...i bought it from online shopping naaptol then i used it only 4 months after that it became dead..no warranty is there.and customer care is also not there.then i went to mobile service then they told me the problem that motherboard is dead.

  • This phone is shit! I had it for two years and I had several issues like two times went crazy for it self responding and I had to send it to repair two Times. On the sides of the screen it comes in to much dust you can easy see it and the screen response oh god! Awful!!! Its made of plastic and if you press it to hard due several no responses becomes that part damage and you wont be able to use that part of the screen anymore until you replace the hole screen, the only great thing is the camera it makes great pics and video quality is awesome!!!!!! So my advice is Don't buy it!!! Instead get the xperia ray....is just 5 times better and it has a great anti scratch glass screen, response inmediately and his camara is just wow!!! I had it also for two years and didnt have any problem at all.

  • It is good

  • bro i want to buy this phone please tell me about screen response...is it too bad or slow...and about battery

  • I'm deeply grieved for my already died Vivaz.. Just using it for approx 6moth or something.. I did love how the camera and the video capture.. the 720p screen quite good though.. It's resistive touch so can't say about the screen , it need some effort.. Already hack the Symbian and already running what the **** the apps is, its 2-3years old, its running so much better than the current UI.. Playing Need For Speed Shift on this phone.. I'm serious, no lag.. Google for downloading Symbian Apps.. :'( Really sad for bad experience with it..

  • I'm sorry.. But you can't.. Just sell your phone and buy some good stuff apart from upgrading it..

  • i like this phone becs model and reliable ,fast touching response, best pictr clarity ,

  • What are some of the tricks and skills because it is true as you said I can't install symbian apps.

  • I used this phone for appro. 3 yrs. Frankly speaking, the only major problem of this phone is the unsensitive screen. It could be a great frustration before you get used to it. However, the credits of this phone fall into its photo quality and shock resistance. It would be a good companion, a long-lived companion, but not an ideal "toy".

  • ok this phone is a 2010 phone, already 4 years old, all the old tech and running on symbian S60v5 which is already abandoned. And seriously, people trying to compare to phones nowaday? I still have this phone, bought 3.5 years ago, and can still work well, but the biggest problem is, apps support. It was a good phone back in the day, but not today. This phone is totally outdated, in hardware & software. Simply not worth the money, just get any low end android if u have low budget. Better app support. Even if u can get Symbian apps, u still need to have skill & know the "trick" to install them, its not for average users.

  • best phone i've had as a hate androids and windows phones

  • I have this phone about 1 week phone is good but camera is not good for night capturing...

  • It is the year 2014 and i just got one. Apart from the QWERTY-keyboard option (today it is standard) being difficult to use this phone is still a contender.

  • best phone i've had better than the crap you get now

  • i had it actully i think its a good phone if u r looking for a phone not a toy

  • aw i was about to get one but with all the bad reviews no thanks hahaha.

  • Don't buy this phone. The quality of the handset is poor, mine started falling apart within 2 months of ownership. Its responsiveness is not great, the touch-resistive screen is nowhere near as good as Samsung's screens. Seriously, choose a Samsung over this phone.

  • Not a nice mobile . Resistive Touch , You will fed up in 4 to 5 days after buying it........

  • can we update vivaz u5 to bella? plz tl

  • hi suman i want to buy this phone will u recommend me to have it secondly ppl have talked so negatively about it's resistive touch screen and difficult msg typing is it true? zaid

  • If u r facing with that problem. Try to turn off your phone when it does not start up, take out the memory card and swith it on again. After that, you can insert the memory card back. It freezes at the start up screen because before you turn off the phone, there were many running background apps. U can download App Stop for Symbian.

  • sorry for late :) a very easy steps to solve your problem: 1)Hack your phone with one click here: 2)you must enable open4all patch then install this and run: ENJOY The FREE space (^_^)....

  • Thats exactly what I have experienced from this phone. LOL. I keep on reading the reviews coz I had this phone and I thought it would be nice to look it up once more. lol

  • Terrible phone. Really a garbage. Battery wears off rather quickly, and that OS... OMG Symbian is such a piece of sh!t, I'm glad it's dead. Overall, a big let down I totally got the buyer's remorse, especially after the perfect Motorola Razr V8 that I had. It's a thing of the past now, but noted to myself, never again Symbian, SE (now Sony) showcased a good portion of phones but the build in quality is what is holding me back. Plus the Motorola RazrI is out so yeah.

  • yes this phone is supportable to wahtsapp.....!!

  • does it have any market to download games on web surfing in the phone itself.

  • yep...this version will work on vivaz:

  • of course if money is not a problem to you (^_^)

  • oh oh...that's correct brother.yeah i've think about that..thanks.now have to think about i phone 5

  • It's still a nice phone during the Android era. . .

  • Better stay away from this phone it "was" good but now it's the Android era...

  • im going to buy this phone.please anybody help me,is this phone good to use or it is a trouble phone..plz help me

  • I got this phone because I liked the specs, but boy did I wish I did not get this phone. This phone has a mind of its own, and doesn't care about you. Here are the problems I had with it: 1. The unlock is super easy, and when the phone is in your pocket it will be doing everything from changing your shortcuts, to pocket dialing people. 2. If I go inside where there is no service, the phone will not look for service no matter what. Even if you leave, and go somewhere else and wait 4 hours, It will not let you find service and call unless you turn it off, then back on. 3. Even when on silent, sometimes the vibration will not go off, so you end up missing a bunch of phone calls, and texts, and people get mad at you. 4. It can be glitchy at times, such as the screen won't rotate when you rotate the phone, it will freeze for a little while, among other issues. 5. Lastly the camera doesn't do a very good job of taking pictures when it is dark, the flash on it is useless. In Summary: Just go get a Nokia.

  • the phone is good,very nice and affordable so please buy it

  • is it possible to change the os? (from symbian to android... for exaple)

  • It is not the worst phone ever made,I used it almost 2 years,I'm not really take good care of it,but it still performed well,no problem when you used it,I really love this phone although it is not famous as an iPhone 5 or galaxy s3

  • Thanks dear, nice to know your views . . .

  • how to download themes and applications

  • yes

  • how to download free games for my sony ericsson vivaz ,?

  • Try to visit www.skype.com

  • goob phone.bud how can i down load talking tom for vivaz?

  • good fone...best camara qulaty..

  • how can downlod skype

  • how can skype downlod

  • how can format this phone

  • i agree totally , the worst phone ever made, it didn't last a year for me either and only 40hours of talk time !!!, it's the best kept phone from me, never dropped, never overused or misused, the factory protective foil still is on the screen, BUT... the touch screen went nuts it clicked it self and dialed random contacts, the camera video recording is good but flickers and misses frames, the still image camera is fine though. The call volume is too low the speaker is low on quality, there is no battery low warning so many times the phone turned off without any notice. GPS won't work unless used within gsm assistance, the battery holds to little time, none of the S60v5 symbian apps works on it, browsing on the internet is a pain in the a*s, the official updates were shut down 2 months after i bought the phone (i paid 400eur for it when it was promoted and when tried to update the software the sony-ericsson site told me you have an old phone model, please buy a new model ...WTF???!

  • does it have on-screen qwerty?

  • worst phone i've ever had from sony ericsson.... did't last at all... within the first few months the charge port broke i had to use a universal charger and now the screen doesn't respond... so basically it no longer works ... it never fell or was ill treated... n yes really poor sound quality... would not advise anyone to get this phone.

  • Go to menu>>navigation>>position and position data...or open wisepilot or any other map application I recommend buying "NDrive10" app,it's so easy and has a perfect navigation.

  • sony ericsson vivaz u5 super phone

  • how to download free applications?

  • how can use my gps ?>

  • how can transfer the data from phone to the SIM

  • The most Easiest way :) Salaam (^_^)

  • S it can be use

  • how to hack the vivaz? thanks for ur reply.

  • Can Whats app be used on this fone?? Over all how is this fone???

  • Hack your phone first then apply this BAM MOD

  • please any body tell, this phone music is good? i have bad experience, is it possible to improve sound quality? how?

  • Thnx alot, i'll do just that and am hoping to see some changes.

  • for battery do this: 1)change your flash home screen from "sony ericsson" to other just go menu>>settings>>personal>>stan­dby>>standby theme>>and choose any other HS..Mine use "Tsunanmi Homescreen" it's perfect for battery consumption and also will free up your RAM by 20MB with a great look...download from here 2)go to Settings>>Phone>>Display>> and from Brightness make it's level bar to lowest. 3)go to Settings>>Connectivity>>Network and from "Network mode" select GSM...also from Connectivity go to WIFI select options then settings and from "Show WIFI availability" choose Never.. That's all about options :) now Battery Consumption Depends on your normal usage. For Mic recording: Insert your headphone in the mobile then open camera and press record to record from the headphone mic..now compare the two videos one from phone mic and other from headphone mic if there is a big different so it's your hardware problem, If not so Download BAM MOD it will solve it :) Hope this helped...Salaam (^_^)

  • Sure Ramez, just one thing, how to improve battery life, n when recording a video, is the mic this low or it has a problem, i recorded a video sometime back and after i wouldn't here almost anything..thnx

  • nope, it's supported...download from official Skype site. "Symbian version"

  • skype not supporting?

  • Thank you very much.. it got lil better.. any suggestion to improve start up time of the phone?

  • Try calibrating the screen by using the pen provided with the phone. Just remember, press as softly as you can. This makes a real difference in touch sensitivity

  • Hack this thing, install the audio mods and it turns into the sweet little cameraphone you always wanted have. The camera is really good, it's got a powerful graphic accelerator that will surprise you and honestly, battery life is fantastic, almost a day and a half of fairly heavy usage.

  • response time of touch system is very slow. Any suggestions how to get it better? I updated its software a couple of months but still start-up time of the phone is slow & also the touch screen response time is slow.

  • You are welcome keurical :) I'm Ramez from Egypt...and I heard a name just like your name in a football match (^_^)...BTW I had vivaz now for 3 months if you would like to ask anything about vivaz don't hesitate.....salam (^_^)

  • Hehehe, am from east africa Ramez, right from Kenya, nice guess though.

  • You're welcome :) but where are you from? I'm just curious about your name and I guess it's a "South African" name,maybe (^_^)

  • Thnx Ramex.

  • my vivaz u5i GPS signal is very bad, In location always show no conection or waiting for GPS, bt other mobile gps are works at same place how can i fix this problem plz tell me, Thanks

  • Nope,I Don't agree It has DLNA,TV out,good pixel density = more real colors,Full flash support = Good web experience "with Opera browser",720MB processor plus a really huge RAM for symbian = Running even a non S60V5 games like PES2011 & NFS shift,Great GPS chip mine locks with 12 satellite...etc And about screen yes I agree it deliver a very bad response but don't tell me you don't know that the phone you're buying has a resistive touch! you and I know before buying vivaz it has a resistive screen. Also almost every backward on symbian which people complain can be override using apps i.e... 1) you don't like the symbian keyboard? just install swype or DayHand input or Baidu input. 2) you don't like all vivaz home screens? just install SPB shell or Tsunami HS. 3) you hate vivaz cause it doesn't have Smart dial? just install "Youlu Address Book" and enjoy smart dialing feature... and many many more! WHEN WILL PEOPLE KNOW THAT WHAT THEY HAVE IS A SMART PHONE THEY WILL BE SURPRISED OF WHAT SMART PHONE CAN DO.

  • where i download hot theme?

  • i love sony ericssons mobiles!!

  • hoy guyzzzz..... this mobile is good..... btry tming shaoe etc everythng is f9.... i would say that 9/10

  • xperia love

  • Like the size and shape, fits in hand comfortably. However has a tendency to turn itself off or some other function when in pocket even though password protected. Not fully compatible with Mac computer. Big disappointment.

  • I'am using this device for 7 months and I don't have any complaints with the device itself, except the fact that it runs in a Symbian OS, which means it's boring to use. The design is cool, it was nicely designed especially at the back of it. Camera and vid are in high quality. Sound is fine. It hangs and you have no choice but to turn it off and on. my rate is 7/10

  • Totally awful device, definately the worst I've ever had (and used). Bad sound quality, bad wifi connectivity, horrible browsing experience, bad touchscreen, unresponsive in general, average camera, protected against hacking or modding, not to mention it runs on Symbian OS, which is slow, unflexible and uninteresting. Not even for free I would accept that piece of ****, more than 10 years old brick-phones deliver a better experience than Vivaz, run away from it.

  • very Bad Mobile

  • sony pc companion

  • *#7370#

  • yo hey guys just would love to know is the net in this phone good yes or no

  • how's the internet connection of vivaz? does it connect easily on wifi? or does it have a service to use the internet like in Blackberry you have to get the service of your network to use the net. your respond is highly appreciated, :)

  • How upgrade to andorid? Thx

  • Guys, please help, I cant seem to send sms using the phone.

  • I have used the phone for 2 years, yes battery life is not great, but it is a great value phone and have no huge complaints although phone speaker volume is poor. Camera and video recording is good You can find the licences on line to activate adobe and quickoffice (just stick them in the directory). Yes skype works yes mobipocket reader works garmin works (v6 is better than v5.05 but this version needs route directory hack) not all nokia stuff works easiest way to install stuff is to use the route directory hack (hack installs a standard antivirus package to give you route access, then install rompatcher)

  • hello,you should hack(=jailbreak)your vivaz then you can try this site www.vivaz.760.ir (it is in persian language),Good luck!

  • zedge

  • sony ericsson Vivaz and sony ericsson vivaz pro which better... ???

  • cAn anyone tell me where(a site) i can get free applications for vivaz u5?????????????

  • The Vivaz features a much better camera but the Pro has a keyboard, so quite frankly- its ur choice

  • which is better vivaz or vivaz pro???...pliezzz help me..

  • You're welcome. If you really want to know what 24fps can do, look at this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmxNtLqSg9E

  • People! I don't understand why this phone didn't make heavier impact on market as it should have. Maybe cause of symbian? Anyhow, the mobile is absolutely brilliant in terms of camera results! The only lag is when taking shots on dusk or at night when this what they call-flash light is useable only at near point shot, meaning cm's. My hronological experience with great phones/cameras is k750, k800 (wow!), n82 and now u5i. Two things bother me though. First is that it doesn't have cyber-shot taste with option such as BestPic! (major downer!) and as second, why in the earth SE staff haven't paid attention to all user ideas about updating more, better? SE is no more, I guess we'll never see another update for this piece of art... Although N8 is next on my wishlist, I'm going to keep vivaz to show how design and performance can match... Pozdrav!

  • thanks so much DSLR (^_^)...I think I'm going for vivaz

  • Wht does it cost in india,nd should i have to unlock the fon if place a order from net..??

  • FPS stands for Frames Per Second. The quality of video depends on different phones based off their CPU structure and how it can handle many frames at once. In this case, 24fps works best with the Vivaz's 720MHz CPU and the 30fps works best with the 1024 MHz CPU of the Ray. This way, when you multitask with the 1024 MHz CPU of the Ray and take a video, it may seem to lag or lack great detail since the 1024 MHz CPU is not enough to handle the greater number of frames. 24fps is commonly referred to as the 'film look' or 'cine look'. 24fps would not look good when shooting fast moving subjects, like in sports for example. Shooting at 24fps would be best for special scenes to show detail for example. Recording a minute long video in 24fps will bring you great detail with quality the whole time. 30fps brings you smoothness in the video but will lack detail and high quality. Another advantage is that 30fps requires more frame rates when processing the video, so this will require greater memory-card/phone memory space as the videos will require greater megabytes for the greater frames saved. But this is not the case with 24fps which need less space in comparison. So it is upto you to decide which you want; a cinematic, detailed, economic clip or a smoother, vibrant, heavier clip? But yet, I suggest 24fps for high definition use for everyday purposes.

  • I'm sorry, but I think you're a bit confused, the n900 is a very different league, not arguing that maybe the vivaz may be a better overall experience as a phone, but the n900 is a much powerful machine more close to a umpc, they aren't not even remotely comparable...

  • Noway...

  • Can any on tell me,wht does it cost in india nd should i have to unlock the fon...???

  • It is really easy. You've got differnet options for typing: on screen portrait-mode keyboard with small buttons, handwriting recognition which is best when used with stylus and landscape-mode keyboard with large buttons. I recommend using the landscape mode for texting since it is fast, smooth and very easy to configure. If you are in search of a keypad with the same specs, then best go for Sony ericsson vivaz pro u8i.

  • It is possible, if you flash it with a custom ROM. It may be complicated.

  • is sony vivaz, easy to use in text messaging?

  • can i upgrade the OS android? hehe

  • Its a great phone and was a great experience. Infact, for me, this was a way greater experience than the over-rated N97, N900 or the XpressMusic 5800. The camera features are simply superb! Love it! 9.5/10!

  • I'd give it an honest 8/8.5 out of 10. Well, I'm not sure what you mean by 'new versions', but I can tell you that the SONY ERICSSON VIVAZ PRO has got a 5MP cam, but this phone the SONY ERICSSON VIVAZ has got an 8MP camera. That's the difference. But the camera with autofocus on this is really great for a mobile phone.

  • i'm using vivaz for a year and a half...well the charging slot has come out..any body can guida me wer can i get that fixed in mumbai(India)?

  • would you plz rate this phone for me ? also i need to know if is it true they reduced the camera resolution in the new versions to 5 mp ?

  • why the sound system very low?

  • does it have qwerty?? n what about anroid? can v upgrade or sumthn....??

  • is it true that they reduced the resolutin of camera to 5 mega pixel in the new versions ? also i need you to rate it

  • Nope, this is a Symbian S60v5 OS.

  • thanks very much...but I think you forgot that VIVAZ lacks video stabilization while RAY has also it records 24fbs while RAY =30fbs,So what I'm confused about is this really makes RAY better than VIVAZ in camera section?!

  • how can i openline this phone in the phil. ? can you teach me how.. thanks :)

  • howz thats screen? is its not to small as v comparing to iphone or ace s 5830 ?? can any1 tell abt its processor is its too slow...or good?

  • is this an android phone??

  • Yes, almost everything is similar in terms of camera features. The only point of differentiation a the video recording feature which the RAY lacks when compared to VIVAZ. It is the 'continuous autofocus' function while recording at 720p. This is a great feature which allows the camera to automatically adjust to the subject if the video, hence bringing in more definition. However, one thing the VIVAZ lacks in comparison to the RAY in terms of camera features is the FRONT / SECONDARY camera.

  • someone tell me please what is the best "from only camera" vivaz or xperia ray?? both have 8.1MP camera with single led flash

  • its a good phone. but it seems that sony is not bother about its software update at least we need a new firmware for which we are wating now from 2 years

  • dont wory brther its really super than no words to talk about phone than buy

  • i would just like to say i have had this phone for over a yr and never had any problems with it , its easy to use and very light so u dont feel like u have a brick in ur pocket .the camera is good quality and u have pretty much every function u could need . if someone was lookin at a affordable touch screen phone i would recomend this with out question , my only point on the size of screen is if u do like to spend alot of time on the net then the screen is a little on the small side and can make it tricky to read certain pages , but on a whole a nice little phone for people who dont have the money to buy a iphone for example

  • my friend how to use the video call?would u pls teach me how to run it on vivaz fon.

  • 1900/2100 has to support Indian telecom :)

  • whether it support indian gsm network..? really good phone for internet, 3g or camera? reply me .....

  • plz... tell me! i want to buy Sony Ericsson Vivaz can i buy it? is it good phone?

  • is vivaz have any memory card?

  • Is vivaz have 720MHz cpu? Swiss manager shows only 206 MHz! Plz tell me!

  • 256 mb

  • just hack it

  • How long does your battery last sir..

  • how long does battery last for you sir..

  • Well, I have to agree, its a great phone. Been using for about 4 months and found nothing wrong with it at all. No such problem with the camera. Video HD continuous autofocus is one-of-a-kind!

  • has anyone faced issues with the "ion polymer" battery?

  • The se vivaz has a 8.1 mp

  • Dose its cpu 720 m.hz? Swiss mgr shows 206 m.hz only!!! Y???

  • anyone had issues with the Li-Po "lithium ion polymer" battery? please comment.

  • But on the internet services galaxy Y is very nice. It has so many application which able to run there. it was so easy to get the application. the internet service is very nice, how about vivaz ? could run some application like yahoo messenger,what's up and other social networking ? and also run any games like angry bird bird,, I think it must be able, but I get frustated how to download and run it ? because it was complicated to find the application for vivaz u5 on the internet.

  • for no reason shuld u buy dis crap. Dnt even accept it as a gift. I ignored the negatiue comments and went ahead to buy it bt it has been a source of sadness 2 me considerin how hard i work to get money. It doesnt a ringtone bigger than 300kb. Can u imagine dat?!

  • i need help! I cant download wit modded or cast opera/ucweb on this phone. Mine is at&t unlocked. Please help me if u hv any idea. Thanks

  • Oh c'mon! Honestly, I wouldn't choose the Galaxy Y over the Vivaz. These are stereotypes created to ditch Symbian saying that Android is better. Its all part of the marketing here. The Vivaz is better than Galaxy Y in terms of CPU, Camera, Flash, Screen quality and even looks. So I wouldn't go for a low end Android. A better-spec'd Symbian would be my choice.

  • xperia ray is d best

  • Don't get this phone you also get samsung y the android phone. today andoid phons are very popular.

  • someone answer me please I want a CAMERAPHONE...so regarding everything what is the best from camera "SE Xperia ray" or "SE Vivaz"??

  • No its a symbian phone, this was before sony started to use Android on their phones.

  • it is an android are not iwant to know

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz has a good design I think. Does this phone really not support in installing .sis or .sisx file like Nokia Symbian 5th edition? How much its RAM? Thank you before.

  • does this support skype????

  • can i gt dis..........????????

  • mmm.. why until now i can't download a song?? n its getting bored from a day to other day

  • yup whatsapp works!

  • Well, definitely not. Apple products have got 'capacitive' touch screen which measures sking heat. Whereas, SE Vivaz (Nokia 5800, SE Satio etc) has got 'resistive' touch which measures amount of pressure applied on the screen. But if you want it to work at its best, I suggest you use the edge/tip of your finger/nails, and in no time, you'll work it out and typing/scrolling on its screen shall work like a breeze.

  • I have this phone,you can talk with primry camera at video call...

  • Let me say that the phone is awesome , one of most popular sonyericsson phones . Great camera (2Mb size of landscape photos ) very good speed ( saves 10 minutes camera shooting 720p high quality with size of 600MB !! in less that 3 seconds !) I'm a hard user of phone and i know how to test the power of cellphone.I've been using this phone since 1 year ago and it's CPU (740 MHZ) is greater than X6 nokia (5800 is just a kid ) an example : i've installed "Need for speed Shift Game " on my cell phone and played it easily . X6 nokia installed this game but didn't run , 5800 didn't install at all. other point is the great touch screen that i really love it ! The vivaz is a full option symbian phone that is small , cool and easy to use .

  • this 4n is not good,touch is very bad.the camera flash is not bright,not working sisx or sis files.only jar.dont buy this 4n.nokia 5800is good than this.

  • do not buy this phone as there is no support for the symbian installed on this phone...no updates... most of the nokia symbian apps not compatible with this phone... eventhough the design is nice, it is useless phone except camera..sony is making phones with good design but do not provide software support/updates like nokia / samsung... i & my friends planned not to buy in future any sony phones eventhough the design may be good...

  • what a camera!!u can use it as a digital camera.

  • my sony ericsson u5i there is not possible to voice call through nimbuz and other why

  • vivaz is a nice phone. I am using it from about 2yrs. No complaints, everthing runs better. Camera quality, video quality is awesome. Look is fantabulous..

  • can i use skype or gtalk in this phn????????????

  • Why high Voting Results? when everybody had a problems?

  • no voice / dial / comand ..?

  • So I have this phone for about a year and the battery doesn't hold it charge, the screen has a mind of its own some areas are highly sensitive others you have to press hard...speakerphone sucks. Right now it only works when I keep it plugged in. My other Sony flip phone was better than this...common! Gonna have to find a better company to take my business hopefully I can just exchange the phone and keep my plan

  • Sony is not easy to enduser touch very bad,internet also very bad

  • Vivaz is a huge stone.... i like best oooommmmm

  • dont mistake

  • bad phone! bad tuch, bad speaker, bad performance..

  • i have this phon n in one year i repair this phon minimum 5 times ....

  • i use it and very disappointed 4 tis phone...very bad loudspeaker and sound quality, terrible hardware and software cause system clumsy lag, good megapixel but wicked camera quality & can't focus well when taking moving picture(object wil became ghost shadow), no kinetic scrolling cause very unconvenient@

  • I had vivaz for almost a year. Really disappointed with the performance, they say it's 700mhz but it doesn't work like one. It hangs on data or wifi connections so often, it doesn't have kinetic scrolling which makes it really really hard to work with a touch screen, there is no update, can't play avi, many players which work no nokia ones don't work on this, just a black screen, doesn't have split screen keyboard which doubled with the lack of kinetic scrolling is really annoying, I'm totally disappointed at the money I wasted for this. If you like symbian, getting one of the nokias would be definitely better.

  • Well, according to my experience, you can avoid putting alot of pressure on the screen if you use the tip of the edge of your fingernails. It works like a breeze. I have avoided using the stylus since I've noticed harsh scratches on the screen protector after every swipe. It was annoying!

  • have had it for a few months, am so over it freezing, i really dont like it, have found that you really have to push hard on the screen.

  • I like this phone

  • I think its good phone , and i will buy it tomorrow

  • Is Sony Ericsson Vivaz a ladies phone ?

  • its a simbian fone dude,it says at OS,phones usualy are simbian ,android or windows mobile

  • Is tht true bro? tl me

  • Try to hard reset. *#7370#

  • one of my worst phones yet. I have had it just over a year and am finding myself becoming increasingly frustrated. Firstly the screen is absolutely shocking, spots appeared on the screen within a few months, sensitivity is shocking with portions of the screen not working while other have become highly sensitive. Phone unlocks in your pocket easily. Has so little on board memory that having any pictures, music, lots of saved messages or applications makes it impossible to accept bluetooth files. Over all the worst phone i have ever had, i would trade it in from my nokia 3210 if the 3210 could have whatsapp

  • I bought one in july 2011. I thought it was a good phone for my needs until January 2012 when it suddenly stopped charging. Although only 6 months old I have been told that the problem is not covered by the 2 years warranty which was supposed to have. This was my fourth Sony Ericsson since 2004. What did Sony got is a very disapointed client that will never buy any Sony product again. I will also do my "best" to stop my family and friends bying a Sony Ericsson/Sony mobile phone.

  • how to update the mobile plz send the link

  • I want and install flash player PDF plz tell me web site

  • i want to know how to connect my bluetooth headset to sony ericson vivaz u5

  • actually this is looking good& slim design but some option not better than like nokia serials when the camera are switch on with flasher it allays flasher switch on furthe music also not good like nokia serials

  • For buyers opting to purchase this phone based on its color; I've heard from an authentic source not a long time ago that according to the Vivaz phone colors, Black Vivaz's have been manufactured less than that of other colors, with Silver being the most manufactured color, followed by ruby and then blue. So people opting for a black Vivaz may find it quite out of stock in many places. I myself couldn't find black Vivaz's in most places. They had Silver most commonly in stock.

  • One other thing I've found when connecting to a WIFI over a distance is that you've got to get close to it as possible. And try setting the connection as the default one, so that the browser detects it with more priority and connects to it.

  • I'd say its very user friendly when you've been using it for quite a while. You'll soon get the hang of it. To make it user friendly, you can change the standby theme style and everything gets done easier by touch, instead of pressing the 3 main buttons. About the touch screen, I gotta say its the most responsive screen you could ever find on a 'resistive' device. To give it more, you feel a slight vibration when you select anything on the screen. But I'd recommend you this phone if you're budget-limited, coz I've had a great experience with this phone.

  • my vivsz does --Push EMails-- why?

  • English only Please no foul language, be polite and use common sense

  • ..hi..i just wanna know if this phone is user friendly.!!?and also regarding on the touch pad.!!?is it working properly'..!?i mean is it easy to use.!!?

  • Y if i try connect to other wireless always the phone say net work cannot get away?? so what the problem?

  • A stylus is provided in-box when purchased. You must've probably bought one without its box. Its in EVERY vivaz box.

  • Good phone. Camera not impressive in the dark, but great for lighted environment.

  • The Touch is Crap... they should have given a stylus with the phone.

  • I can't send any messages.. If I transfer my SIM to another phone, I was able to send a message/s.

  • I lovvvve this fone ,,all the features are there some of theme i dont even know how to use...Sony please realese something like the Sumsang Galxy tab....i trust u will do better...love this brand

  • can this phone be updated to nokia belle OS

  • is possible to make update to Symbian from Nokia belle?

  • i had this phone for about one year now this feb but i never had a probelm wiht the phone.. the only one issue that i had is the battery life only stand for 2days.. thats it, nevertheless everything works fine for me :))

  • hey Ashish Hav u recd it? and hav u enquired abt it by giving ur order no.?? Reply me mentioning my name...Princess

  • I agree, this is also the worst I've ever had! Even super old phones have better sound and call quality! Calls drop frequently, wifi connection drop frequently, battery life is horrible, and it goes on and on...

  • I bought one in july 2011. I thought it was a good phone for my needs until January 2012 when it suddenly stopped charging. Although only 6 months old I have been told that the problem is not covered by the 2 years warranty which was supposed to have. This was my fourth Sony Ericsson since 2004. What did Sony got is a very disapointed client that will never buy any Sony product again. I will also do my "best" to stop my family and friends bying a Sony Ericsson/Sony mobile phone.

  • Undoubtedly the worst handset I've ever had. Conversation quality is appaling. Connections are easily lost. Touch screen failed, had to be replaced (a real struggle to achive that). Menus are cumbersome. Internet connectivity - forget it most of the time. Maps - buy an A-to-Z instead.

  • Its amazing!!!!loved it very much!!Cam is wonderful!!!!!!!!

  • i have the same problem ... 2 sec and a hang.. go to 5 sec ... T_t

  • I have allready this 1

  • hey dey r cheating me... i placed an order bt nw dey r saying v dnt hav any order for this order no. hav u recd that mobile frm dt ppl???? i am really dissapointed...

  • hi guys....i thing Vivaz camara is better for other handset....

  • I have ordered the same. Shall let you know once it is received.

  • Well, the newspaper is right since the flash light is situated in different areas on the Vivaz and the Vivaz pro. On the Vivaz U5i, the camera is situated beside the camera lens, whereas on the Vivaz Pro U8i, the camera is situated on top of the camera lens. The major difference between these two phones is that the Vivaz has got a better camera of 8MP and the Vivaz Pro has got a down-sized 5MP camera. For more info, you can search for the Vivaz pro and compare its details with the Vivaz. But yet, I suggest you go for the Vivaz since its much more stability in the long run.

  • hye. can anyone told me which phone is better, se vivaz or htc wilfire. and why . i need your reply guys :( please mentions my name as soon as possible . THANKS :D

  • hi.. i also saw that article..and i hav ordered for it as well..i hav a lil doubt .. hav u seen a discrepancy in the image of sony ericsson vivaz mobile...newspaper is committing that the flash is on the upper side of the camera whereas sony ericsson site is showing on the left side of the phone..y is it so...

  • i recently saw on a news paper that Sony Ericsson Vivaz is for rupees 9999 and its seen there that its actual price is 18999..so i doubt about the quality of the product..i have two questions..is it a failure in its sale??and another one is that is there any chance of cheating if we buy that..i expect answer from our readers...

  • Im not exactly sure of a voting system for the upgrade, but all I can say is that there is a group on FB that is demanding an upgrade, and where vivaz users can see constant discussions happen on a weekly basus. Here's the link:

  • It's a very good phone relies on its price .... SE said it will be update to s^3 or anna if requests increase .... Do u know where v could vote?

  • how to download more applications and games in vivaz

  • Is it android market compatibility

  • it die,s quite quickly one day maximum use not bad no games unlees you hack it it is good but then you have to restart the app after one mission a good phone just dont exspect much if your gonna get it if i were you wait until you got enough money to buy a android

  • It is is really cool....but get heated with long conversations....overall,its good

  • whats the problem SE don't know to pu the front camera or what..??? c'moooonnnn pleeeaaasseeee

  • it was either between the galaxy ace and the SE vivaz...i opted the vivaz becoz of its design and HD recording..the vivaz contains the S60 5th edition of Symbian which is the same in N5800 but doesnt support all the softwares that are compatible in the 5800..see?..that made me real mad..the touchscreen is ok but sometimes it drives u crazy..the pictures, music, video are good and the headphones are excellent..its a multimedia phone so in those respects its good..it comes pre installed with the facebook, twitter, roadsync, wisepilot all of which i had to uninstall...the internet specifications mentioned are excelent to make it a great phones but not so in reality, the net is not upto the mark..proximty sensors are missing and importantly the secondary camera... i really wished i went for a secon cam phone..the volume is less but the Se quality is excellent..thats it..

  • I love my Vivaz toooooooo

  • Lol, yes, I guess this is one of the most popular smart phones. I got anything with this phone. Amazing.

  • I have as Sony Ericsson Vivas 8 month old, I want to sell the phone call me 9847158772

  • my favt phone

  • It was great at first with its HD cam (720p) and portable size, but after seeing the Android OS comparing it with the applications that I could get with Android I became so much hater for Vivaz, also its screen is soooo scratchble whilst other mobiles has a bad-ass anti-scratch screens, also on this phone I can't get that much of applications and much of them has compatibility issues and SE's app store sucks soooo bad, don't know why did SE went for Symbian OS which came from Nokia, but on Nokia it is working better much more... yah one more thing is the touch sensitivity which isn't on your finger-heat detection you can control through any pen, key whatever you want, and it doesn't have smart dedection so that's why I'm always got to be careful while writing sms cuz I always get mistakes... The only thing holding me from trashing this phone is its camera.

  • like??????????? what phone

  • i will think about it

  • i think it heats quite faster while using internet

  • one of my favt phone....its awsme

  • You should have bought an android. Who buys a symbian s60 phone when he can get an android in almost the same price??

This is a superb mobile combined lot features.and each of them got suckness. e.g. 1.no sports capture,cam shakes a lil bit when pushing the capture button,cos it is tough. 2.no built in equalizer,and the one which can downloaded,extremely sucz. 3.OS is s60...and my suckest os. 4.and finally,battery life is same hell as all SE s. .... But just forget them,cos u cant get ona like this for such reasonable price..but if you gonna buy this,cos i can give u few alters. 1.se-x8 2.se-live with walkmen 3.galaxy y 4.se-experia mini

  • Vivaz can have resolution of 360*640. So you need to convert your video to that resolution. There is a converter named as "King Converter". thats working well for vivaz. You can watch MP4 WMV with best resolution and clarity.

  • yes it's support both app, I am using it....

  • I have this phone over a year and i do not find any probs either software probs or hardware yet...If you want your cell works fine the only thing you DO NOT have to do is "cracking the software-O.S"...U need to have the latest O.S updates installed and your Vivaz U5 smartphone will work as the first day you bought it!! :)

  • I like is set but i dnot have money

  • Mother board has gone and no repair yet bored of going to shops and very bad phone ever seen

  • I was so curios about this product, but after some struggle i get it and now i have.it is a true experience not a word fake. 1). look---------perfect and costly. 2). camera-------in low light not o.k. in normal and high light fine not excellent. 3). screen-------fine but not in sunny day. 4). batt. life---not more than 5 hours on net. with many apps open. with music 2 days. call 8 hours. with normal mix uses 2 and half day. 5).sound quality-low but fine. 6).performance---as u know ram is 256mb but not usable after 136mb free memory camera could not take pictures says- close opened apps? yes i use some apps in background but what about ram which is 136mb free. which i check with x-plore. 7).apps----------some sis,sisx apps only use in nokia phone u can not use them on vivaz or satio. 8).software------only after 3 months software start laging hangs and automatic default some settings and 720p came on 7 frame/sec. to repair it i need to reflash it and after some time same problam came again. 9).conclusion----if u not use much apps and internet it will give u fine experiance but if u a hard core user u will not satisfied. thats all and true

  • had same issue on mine, I thought it only needs to be reformatted but when sonyericsson servcnter checked it he board needs to be replaced and it's 80% of the brand new cost

  • Where to find the full version, cause i have a trial and it works great... but its just 15 days. If u find the full version send me the link, i appreciate. THanks in advance!!!

  • The Vivaz has software problems. Your units will just freeze/hang one of these days. SonyEricsson knows this and came up with these "update" to remedy the situation but as in my case, a new mother board is needed...and its about the same price as the unit. 15 months use, and P20,500.. gone down the drain.

  • Sorry to say this I am an SE fan but this phone was a flop due to a very poor os but all is not forgotten if you still like the look of this phone grab the Xperia Neo or Neo V looks like this only heaps more sexier and especially in white (i have a Neo V white, its gorgeous!).

  • I've heard a lot of negetive comments about SE Vivaz.They said though it is a Symbian Phn,but still it doestn't support S60v5 Applications and there is no site for downloading any application 4 Vivaz.They also said that the sound of this phn is terriable and slow.Is that true? M Bored with Java phns.Pls answer me questions.M witing for ur reply.

  • this is a awesome phone...im using this for 6 months...it works brilliant. some people said this phone sukz...i recommend this 4n for all of you who like handy,powerful,sexy smart phones..I like sony ericsson & my Vivaz baby... :D

  • yes it is a smartphone running in s60v5 os

  • how much do u paid 4 ur device???

  • iam using thiz fon for last one week, i got a light used vivaz in xchange with my old x6, so far it is a cool device, HD gamez rockz.. i hav heard a lot of negetive repz abt tiz bt for me tiz device is working like a charm.

  • I had purchased a Sony Ericsson VIVAZ , model number U5i in May 2010. Not more than a year from its purchase the charger socket became loose and and after few days came back. I studied it on net that many people are getting this issue in their phone and this is basically a design fault. According to warranty policy they should repair this or replace the handset. but instead I went to both the service centres they did not had the spare part and even contacted chennai centre but in vain. They could not help and straigt away said NO. What is this ? What is the use of warranty then? Sony Ericsson should certainly check their services after selling their products !

  • I just buy a vivaz unit u5i but the flash is not working. what's problem of my unit?

  • ma cam isnt savin savin pictures after takin thm, jst tels mi memory ful exit some runnin apps whereas thea aint any runnin.. ma memory is stil remainin 6.5gb. i dnt evn seem to see wea i cn select bt phone memory n the card. plz cn any1 tel mi wats the problem. thnx, waitin 4 arply.

  • I live in Indonesia, and my keypad, on ABC mode, its lagging when I press 'k' button twice, it's slower than other word. if I press 'i' in qwerty mode, it's slower to... it is because of bugging from the firmware? my firmware is 1224-4699_R2EA023 is it the latest? because SEUS said it is the latest.. but I know R2AA029 version from the forum in SEUS, where I can download that? thank you.

  • This fail of a phone should have a government warning sign on it. Its HD draws you in yet the software problems and in some cases the hardware is shoddily made and gives sony ericsson a boner. comesta bitches, spanish lauguage news is here.

  • guys anyone tell me how to see my photos..cos wen i open the pictures in media i cant see the pictures i just shot with the camera..HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • its ringtone and sound soo low.. how i can solve this prob.... it is the only prob. face me with this mobile.

  • can anyone tell me what is the price of this phone? :D

  • Can it be hacked

  • Sony Ericsson really needs to create a new software version for the Vivaz. this would be best for us, so that we can get a new experience!!!

  • this is the worst one I have purchased yet. its GPS and GPRS never work well.standby life is less than 24 hours, you cant beleave it work well or you should carry your old handy not to loose your camunication. never buy it even it is free.

  • This phone is all good and doesn't have any issues. I've been using it for over a year and haven't encountered any problem. The only negative thing about this phone is that it doesn't have any app store. Ovi store won't work with it so all the time you've to google the apps you want.

  • pls dont buy this poon.. all of the above neg. comments are accurate. save ur self.

  • hey this is a nice phone!!!! Real cool management!!!!

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz

  • Hey friends, which one you prefer? Vivaz or Vivaz pro?

  • Friends, which phone should i buy, c2-03 or vivaz?

  • Camera and battery was really awesome, but other things really s.... Music player not even has the equalizer option. Don't buy this phone....

  • download games from mobile9.com it may work it had work 4 my sony ericsson phone.......

  • The phone works well. Easy, fast access to everything.

  • Yes, SE did not reply to my complaint, not support from SE, next time will not consider their phone, lousy after sales service.

  • very very bad , & don't worse if its free

  • sorry my friend & i don't agree with u about Vivaz, Cam is good, sound is very bad when u play the music , i think the old SE k800 & K810 in more better & sound is good when loud. OS is very very bad & without any support from SE . i guess that this phone Vivaz not belong to SE & when i send a complaint i didn't get the accepted answer coz they already know .

  • The phone has awesome 8MP, but reading all the opinions I've changed my mind and I won't buy this phone.The disadvantages are dominating the advantages.

  • Well, i love this phone. Because its more like my last phone. Its simple and good design. Great camera. Moderate battery life. Good wifi too. But the gps is not very precision still ok to me personally. Still never got lost with it. My last one is nokia.

  • i love the phone camera,the pics quality is great but my just develop problem and i tried to fixed but no luck.so i go x10

  • camera is good not so bad i guess u nought china vivaz

  • Thanks for all you posts. I was just about to buy this phone used for $100 now I understand why it was so cheap and why the lady was so eager to drive 45 mins to deliver it. thanks you all saved me $100.

  • this phone looks great...has a awesome glossy finish wid a sexy blue colour no other phone has got...just dat it shud have had some great OS...Symbian seems a bit outdated.. touch is not so gud... yet a beautifully crafted piece frm sony ericsson...

  • this phone should have had the android system but it's just the symbian and that too the 60th edition thats just dissappointing.......

  • From where should i download the games and the themes???

  • 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 :)

  • is it possible to install android on this phone

  • no extra themes found[crying]

  • 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.

  • where i can download games and appearance for this phone?

  • Itz look is so gud.But camera is not gud.this sony gave 8mp but it works as 1mp.I hate this phone....

  • wats bttr a satio a vivaz u5i???

  • 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.

  • make 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.

  • If it was android thn tis will b the bst fone bt other than os evrything is perfect

  • awesome phone..... great pix,,, very smooth opertaion,,, never hangs like nokia s60,,,,,,itself it is s60 ..... glozzy look,,,,,,, i alwayz sell my fone to buy the other new model...... but this time i gurantee i m not going to sell this one..... awesome piece made by sony.............

  • why my vivaz's memory card has a lot of problems? Damn phone cant detect memory while my memory card is stuck with it!

  • friends,what is "gesture control"?

  • Awesome phne.. it has the best camera any phone has got.. awesome condition.. and very smooth.. lovely.. i just looovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee itttt..... awesme awesme..

  • may i know what is the current price of this phone in UK? I Think 180 eur is Introducing Price pls Help me

  • 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!

  • its very cute & nice phone ,i like it very much,handling also good.

  • so nice mobile set it is i'm using this now a days nd its awesome thanx

  • How come to make video call without camera in the front or second camera???

  • I believe those opinions are honest and thanks to all of you. I was just planning to buy this phone set and now i will not buy it. Thanks again.

  • hey its awesome & very dashing handset.............its has hot feature about its color , style , front & back combinatio..........i ll try to buy this...its gives high level of choice of a person.............to buy......love to keep in hands...

  • All in all a decnt phone, just very open to technical mishaps. I've had to get mine repaired twice. It deletes things randomley and has forgotton all the names on my phonebook. Mne has no games on it, so good if you're not looking for a realy exciting phone

  • worst phone ive ever had! do not buy it you'll be wasting time and money. i had to get this phone repaired mulyiple times for no reason it seemed! it would randomly wipe out all of my memory, all my messages would send to my outbox, and it was just terrible quality! i highly do NOT reccomend this phone; such a huge disappointment

  • yah this fon is a curse! u'll curse it when u have it later. this fon s a imperfection of sony, in medecine its a medical malpractice! this is a regret!

  • its sound is very slow and no resale value!!!

  • sound very slow...

  • No man itz just wasting ur money just take samsung or htc it wil work gd. . . . . . .you wil find no app's and games for this phone, wi-fi too is not good. . . . .

  • battery

  • i agree wit u!!!!

  • why sony ericsson vivaz no secondary camera???so hard for me to do 3G(video call)..im really2 regret bcoz i buy vivaz!!!!

  • Soon to be launched "Live with Walkman" with Android 2.3 has almost the same hardware as Vivaz except for capacitive touch screen. I have a suggestion - why not make available software of "Live with Walkman" as an added option to Vivaz users through SE's offical website i.e. its update service. I can assure you, even Vivaz will start selling like hotcakes. Think over it. Why not give option to users whether they want to use Symbian or Android OS.

  • wifi connet but not function. how to set back wifi and what avaible software for sony vivaz u5i

  • this sony vivaz product is too worst. I only use it for a month.and from ten month it is on customer care service center .

  • wahmy amazing aweeeeeeee

  • the worst s.e. product ever!!! very slow, unresponsive, has mind of its own, stay away.

  • A very nice design and not so heavy too. But it doesn't user friendly compared to model C902. One more thing is about the log. Can we just delete unwanted number from the log? It just have clear log in the menu but this will delete all the communications. Sony erricsson have to upgrade this one. Thank you....

  • yes it supports skype calls but only voice calls not video calls.

  • Nice but a drawback that absents of 2dary camera.

  • nice camera, Recording HD video

  • i swear listen, im a teenager and i hardly use my fone, its very good for like 1 month, then you realize things would get very laggy, almost no apps to download, you cannot pause a video, it stops it, so you have to watch from the beginning, bad soundings, i suggest to get an older phone if you want a better fone, htc, maybe pricey, but it lasts long, better than this vivaz, trust us, if you really want to buy it, dont come back complaining and asking for help

  • that is very good camera for vivaz.. photo bright outside as well.. photo is very dark inside dull. I don't understand camera Led flash. Vivaz's camera not powerful flash. not auto flash .. poor implementation of flash in camera, camera quality could have been better.. I will buy Htc wildfire s. the htc wildfire s was good auto flash from 5 mp camera led flash.. the photo was very bright from htc wildfire s camera.. this is very good camera 5 mp..

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz is n1

  • i just change my screen but the new one has also spoilt and now the phone get heated whenever i make or recieve calls for like 10 to 20 mins. i hate this phone

  • Why... Symbian is better

  • dont buy it. the phone is rubbishh!!!! whenever it sliips to the ground from your hands, it would always say insert sim card....and this is annoyin!!!

  • can this phone be upgraded to android ..

  • Its an awesome phone with some major problems. 1- slow internet. 2- very poor voice quality. 3- low touch sensivity, 4- weak battery. So, if you see that these lackings will not effect you. You should definately buy this phone.

  • i hv a quesion, i wan to buy this phone, but i hv c u all's comments so now i wan to buy this phone a not? gv some comment pls. tq

  • RUBBBBIIIDSSSSSSSHHH meaning A COMPLETE AND UTTERLY RUBBISH PHONE! Dont buy it, too much hassle. Has a mind of it's own. Got it as a gift from friends so couldn't even complain. Plus it was a surprise gift so i couldn't even tell them i disliked touchscreen phones to begin with though never had one previously, this one has confirmed that dislike into hate with passion lol. Only two days ago the youtube videos were working via wi-fi web browser. And have done the whole time. Now suddenly it decided to no longer. I checked the settings and done everything possible within my knowledge etc... and tried to research the net on how to get it working again but to avail it will and does not for the last two days. This is on mobile version. However when i put it on desktop version it does, though ever so slightly slower. But still a utterly rubbish phone! Save your money for something that actually works!

  • A nice phone. Features are good. But the in couple of months it started to malfunction by auto scroll ans selection. Upgraded the software. Became unusable. The service center says the the TFT is is malfunctioning. Before that I had (Sony Ericsson Vivaz) model, which was purchase as soon as it was in market that too had given me a lot of trouble. Now I am saying goodbye to Sony Ericsson.

  • to get a high volume

  • but i like the phone... :(

  • I agree. The worst ever phone of all of them. Will never ever buy any Sony product again, no matter what item. It hangs, it crashes, responses are slow, handling is sometimes inconvenient, certain display arrangements are not informative at all, and S-E doesn't even come up with a firmware upgrade, they seem not interested to give client service.

  • tengs becoz told me earlier... :)

  • I have used this phone for one year. It is the worst Sony-Ericsson phone I have ever used!. It hangs, the touch screen does'nt respond sometimes and if it slips from your hand - forget it!. I regret buying this phone!!!

  • This Phone rocks and also if your charger port thingy comes of it is totally possible to put it back in just find the hole for it. And this website saves your battery:http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/1845579/?re­f=2766 Remember buy it

  • this phone is rocks its really good i know it has a poor battery and poor volume but you can download this to save your battery and the volume you can buy a small speakers it rockssssss

  • Don�t buy this phone as there is a big problem in the design. My Vivaz charger port (microUSB port) came away from the phone after about 6 months (it is a common problem in this phone). I sent it off to be repaired under warranty but the service center claimed that this part specially is not under warranty. It is cheating of course as it is a design fault and the phone should be replaced by new one. Please see the following links:

  • can anyone tell me the price for this phone

  • i love sony soooo much, they r ma favourite after Apple, bt i tink i have ways u guys can be better nd the best, cos ma friends complain alot about sony nd yes u guys have 1 or 2 faults

  • This phone is quite good actually, I'm not a heavy user but there are days where I can be gettin more than 20 calls and the battery does an excellent job. the touchscreen is very responsive and the camera is amazing. The only thing that disappoints me is that I can't select a profile on which I can do call filtering which I could with the SE W810. It comes with a leather pouch...dats nice. The shape of the phone is very helpful in holding it. Internet browsing is very fast and easy to use. Interchangeable home screens let you have a very good control on your preferred shortcuts. Its been a year already and its running as a brand new one. I definitely would recommend this phone, especially now that is price gone down.

  • no u can't use ovi store ... because ovi only for nokia ....

  • I 1 somebody gv me aopinion pls,r tis sony vivaz is a nice phone??

  • this good phone....

  • how dis mobiles touch works..?

  • well, about me, i'm using vivaz for 5 months. now you can download many hd games like: -sims 3 -Need For Speed Shift -Uno -Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 -Ferrari GT hd -etc but you have to sign it first, butits just a spectacular hd games also you have to try kokoro 0.4. it's a software that will make your phone smoother just seacrh it on google and enjoy ^^

  • thax friend

  • yes, u can search for previous post, just type equalizer then search

  • r u sure 4 that dowloadable equalizer 2 vivaz.

  • r u sure 4 that dowloadable equalizer 2 vivaz.

  • hey iz there any photo editer in this phone plz tell me..!!or it is downloadable ..?

  • I think you can download equalizer application for this handset.

  • Before buying vivaz , i had read many opinions about it. many people were satisfied but many were so regretful about buying vivaz. i dont know what's wrong with it but i have one now. i've been using it since may2011 and it's working as well. The 720 Mhz CPU (i've installed NFS shift on my vivaz . it works but it didn't work on Nokia X6 !!!) , camera is amazing, networks, anything on this phone is great.. its display resolution and quality and touch sensitivity and ..... .but honestly the speakers are really weak buy headphone quality is matchless stuff! stylish and cool by any aspect. If you dont have much money and dont care speaker sound , i offer you buy it right now! I'm a hardworking user of cellphone. once i used GPS , wifi , bluetooth , GPRS while listening music and taking a photo to test the phone... , no problem and high speed... I love it , it loves me too !! :-) I hope this could be helped

  • i know that this phone is a bit old, but this is my short review: 1. OS/user interface: the Symbian OS is reli outdated, with less customizations. Less games and apps. If u like to play games, please go for Android instead. 2/10 2. Design: design is quite nice, sexy and slim, though not comparable to new phones like Samsung Galaxy S II and SE Arc. It's slim enough so it can be slipped into any pockets. 8/10 3. Telephony: the call quality is OK, sometimes i felt the sound for the other party is quite low and muffled, but most of the time is OK. the speaker volume is disappointing, whether ringtone or playing music. 5/10 4. Multimedia: the audio quality is OK, the only concern is its somewhat lack of bass if compared to other walkman phones. Downloaded the equalizer app from PlayNow and it improved a bit, recommended to use a new pair of earphone to improve the quality. Video playback is quite nice, with support up to 720p videos, but note that not every 720p can be played. 6/10 5. Camera: this is where Vivaz perform greatly. Its camera is one of the nicest in a phone. The HD video recording capability is even better, with continuous autofocus. The quality of Vivaz camera is comparable to a digicam (sometimes even better). if it is equipped with xenon flash u dun even need to waste money for a digicam. bear in mind that Vivaz is a lot slimmer than most of the digicam in the market. 9.5/10 Conclusion: Vivaz is a good buy if u wan a phone who great camera, if u wan games and apps please go for Android.

  • the audio quality is not great, but its better than a lot of android smartphones, u can download the equalizer application from PlayNow, its free, then u wil hav megabass as 1 of the preset equalizer. u can use another pair of earphone, to improve the quality.

  • hey friends plz say me.vivaz have maga bass? how s vivaz music quality? becose i wanna buy this 4n next week.

  • Get the Vivaz, not the nokia, difference is that vivaz captures HD :)

  • Hi Mike - Thx for your comments. How do you think this compares to the android phones in the same price range (Samsung / HTC)

  • The Vivaz is not a good phone, I advise you not to purchase it. It goes in and out of functions, the camera is not easy to use, the touch screen sticks constantly, it loses time (five minutes over a 24-hour period), sending e-mails is difficult because you have to change over from al[pha to numeric and in the process the phone often goes into all sorts of other unwanted applications, the touch keys often fail to respond.The Vivaz looks good but it is unreliable and unpleasant to use. Don't buy it.

  • Using se vivaz doesn't feel like using se,

  • Its exalent,cheepest,more function Quality video like DVD, clear photo can enlarge up to 12x15, GPS more helpfull and most imported thing is battary. 5 day batary power. buy this smart phone & cheq it.

  • its a good phone just the music volume is pathetic otherwise a good buy

  • How can i update my phone software without using pc?

  • what is the problem for this cell, please tell, because i like this phone, i thing next week i buy, so please what is problem in this phone,

  • this is very bad phone dont buy it

  • i seen this phone it so good. I want it

  • I Like very much!!!!!

  • no vibration alert for incoming sms...thats the only flaw..

  • How do I change the time so the time will stop updating itself? And does anyone know where we can download HD games? I use mobile9.com but most of the games are like half my screen, instead of full screen

  • can u make video call with this phone?

  • can u make video call with this phone?

  • hye all, one question...im now currently using iPhone 4,but think to buy this cutie phone...is it capable to plays youtube 720p HD mp4 video...??? really need to know it...TQ

  • It's funny how some people are blaming the Vivaz for bad behaviour when they did not even bother reading the manual or reviews. There are some that want Galaxy or N8 features on much lower priced Vivaz !!! Just learn to work with what you afforded to buy ! I will say that I managed to make better outdoor pictures than Nokia N8 (only xenon flash is a clear plus), the colors seem to be much natural. Not to mention that Vivaz has a superb panorama stitch shot which N8 has not, better photo menu layout.

  • i've got my phone for about a year now and the other day when i tried to press an icon, the lcd started pressing other icons on its own. i wasn't even touching the lcd and it was activating things on its own... Has anyone had that similar problem, and what was it???

  • hello, are u from north africa? because all the vivaz's owners there complain too about the audio output quality.

  • This phone is not recommended. Very dissapointed!

  • hey guys help me ,when i listen songs in headphone the sound is very low,is it the same urs problm also or it os defect of my mob.and if there any setting in the music player then plz let me know,

  • camera is only goog enogh whn it is day light ,n flash is also not so effective,so it is bad phne

  • i hav used many hand set of sony ,and now im using sony vivaz,and i found that it was my big mistake to purchese this set, bcoz sound of mobile is like FM Radio that is available is any simple mobile ,n no setting for bass trebole in the music player so please dont purchse this mobile.

  • how was the battery functioning?

  • How do I change the time so the time will stop updating itself? And does anyone know where we can download HD games? I use mobile9.com but most of the games are lke half my screen, instead of full screen

  • can any 1 plz tell me the website for HD games because i hate this annoying keyboard

  • super prise

  • vivaz is a great phone. I have it for a year and i am overall sattisfied with it. It is a litle non risponsive but has great camera

  • if the time keeps changing u can just go to settings and make it stop updating the time and date :)

  • No you have to use the primary camera... It works fine!!!!

  • ALso another con is that the time keeps changing, it's slow, and i have to chnage it everyday, it's annoying..

  • I had this phone for 1 year now, its alright, i had my hopes high though. Pros: - Slim - Camera is good Cons: - Ringtone too softed (missed over 50 calls because of that) - The volume is really bad, turning it to the max made the speakers so so dead and squeaky - NO GAMES? well there is, but there isnt a proper website for it _ not much themes - Its very hard to figure out how to change the settings because the manual didnt have much instuction - I can't put a password to it ( like when locking and unlocking the phone) - Battery life is like omg... I have to charge it daily if i used it to listen to music for 2 hours - Sometimes when its out of battery and you charge it, and try to turn it back on, like it would take years for it to turn on, you just have to spam the on button - There isnt like a 'slide to unlock' - there isnt EBUDDY? REALLY? no ebuddy? - You can't do a two way call - It doesnt lock itself when talking on the phone (that means that you are likely to end the call without noticing) - You can't add a call picture to like separate people ( i added my bf's picture on his- ended up on everyone elses one, and i always had my hopes high thinking it was him calling) - this list can go on forever!

  • Excellent phone, but oh dear very poor disign for recharging unit. No support from Sony on repairs of charging unit.

  • Which of the following is better.. Vivaz, Xperia X8, Xperia Mini? I like Xperia X8 but it has a mediocre camera which lacks auto-focus, flash light and HD video recording. I like Vivaz also. But Symbian OS is outdated. I like Xperia Mini too, but the specifications indicate that it must be very costly.

  • can anyone tell me how to set the phone to immediately saved received music files through bluetooth in the music library... tnx!!

  • that s very bad sound is low sound quality is poor capture images are low quality

  • I have one of these and seriously one of the best out there. Cam picts are like an hight resolution camera. Films in HD excelente view. Plus the funcionalitys of it awsome, it identifies the sound track you currently listening with trackid. OS symple and easy to browse, radio included. One of the most complete phones out there. Camera shoot,video shoot,radio,high quality loudspeaker,easy to browse OS. I realy love this one. Thanks sony

  • Don't be fool man. In my country, vivaz's price is about 200 EUR and c7 is about 270 EUR.. Do you know the meaning of comparison? You can just compare one to another phone if their prices are about or exactly same. So vivaz an c7 can't be compared..

  • hope it's possible to update this to symbian anna. i think se stopped supporting symbian

  • Why resitive touchscreen but its anti-scratch?? Help me!!

  • does sonny ericsson vivaz have second camera for video calling ????

  • Is that sony viva have sound reader like nokia..its quite good to identify who is calling.

  • Dont know why some here are laying hate. The Vivaz is a great phone, remember you MUST update the o/s as soon as you want to start using it, this is very important. First thing is to obviously insert the battery and sim (the micro mem card should already be factory installed) , then charge the phone, once done load the factory pre apps from the memory card, then go to the Sony website and UPDATE THE FIRMWARE!! Im finding most people that have trouble are still on old..really old firmware. The new stuff will solve your problem. Alongside that remember theres Conversations ..say it via chat-style text messaging, one of my fav things, makes sms so easy. These phone are still selling HUGE amount throughout the world. Hope this helps. Thank you for reading.

  • yah ryt go for nokia brand its d best, i hve my nokia c7 nothing compares its d best....tnx nokia

  • plzz... help me guys... all of sudden some numbers have started clicking on the right hand upper corner near the battery indicator.... do any 1 know how 2 stop dat... plzz reply..... regards....

  • This is very bad phone bcoz camera quality is very poor & when it is use then heating problem occur. very slow phone & totaly wast of money.

  • Hi, I have a problem with my Vivaz wich cannot start. When I switch it on the logo SE appears but cannot start, pleaz do you have a solution for this? Thx

  • Nice phone with excellent video recording and 8 mp camera.

  • This phone is a real dissapointment as it cost me a decent amount of money and is a rather poor phone in general, apart from the camera and video which is not that gr8 either. What is also pathetic is Sony Ericsson's lack of support for this phone and actually most of their phones released over the past 2 years, the vivaz received a few minor software updates which were good for nothing and fix nothing really at all. This phone is slow, touchscreen is poor, I've used and owned other resistive ts phones and this one is by far the worst and most frustrating, the amount of apps for this phone is extremely limited and alot of the cooler apps available for other symbian phones are not available for this one as it cant install qt mobility which is necessary for some of the better apps. Really dissapointed with this phone and with Sony Ericsson, dont think i'll buy a SE phone again!

  • Bought my phone in April. If I have used it for 1 week I am lucky. Had it for two days - would not start. Problems with the screen, battery, start up, and needed a software update before I could even use it.. Eventually got it back on monday - have had to charge the phone 3 times in one week. Dont know what the problem is, had 4 sonys before and no problems.

  • why momory card will lock automatic then will unlock again...?????

  • Rubbish phone - problem with program did not restart...

  • Everything on this phone is absolutely perfect, except one thing... The Symbian OS destroys perfection!

  • what.!? You probably didn't use the camera up close & personal for a long time to say (no offense) but i use vivaz & i can tell you other than the contrast issue & the weak flash it's a superb camera really. I'm using it for 8 months now & the only downside i can find is the weak flash if only it was xenon+led like the samsung pixon 12 or at least dual led flash Go easy on the vivaz it's a good phone i know it's not great or super but it's a device you'd be proud to own though it's not the top of it's class

  • video is not so good becoz there's no 2nd cam for viewing the caller..

  • generally, sony ericsson is a very good brand among the phone manufacturers, and vivas is one of the best phone among the ericsson family

  • How long does your battery last?

  • vivaz is top configuratin in this rate

  • This is very bad phone

  • I been using this phone far quite time its good phone i like the camera its too good..touch screen much better than any nokia phones...give try you will not disappoint....

  • i have it for 8 months now & i can tell what i don't like about it 1-for me i believe it's kinda small screen 2-the battery isn't bad but it could've been better 3-low volume either in the earphones or in the loudspeaker but you can avoid by using "powermp3" application which is for symbiam os only & buy another earphones cuz the one with the mobile's crappy 4-weak led flash for camera but not terrible though. Other than these things it's light weighted,incredibly sexy looking.has continious auto-focus which's to me kinda annoying but that's just me & it's own user interface If i'm thinking of changing it will be for small screen & average audio & finally the stupid symbian os but i used nokia my whole life that's why i'm weak when it comes to os. If you're not bound by the symbian there are plenty of sony ericssons out there like xperia neo or experia arc and 10 Hope i helped

  • worst camera clarity seen ever in mobile phone my 2mp of 8520 blackberry is any time good compare to sony 8mp

  • yes it does it's in the box when buying but i'd advise you not to use stylus cuz after a while the screen will be full of slashes

  • The worst phone I've seen in my life!! I sold mine and lost 80$ dollars in a week but not to keep it in-front of my face. Bad material, Bad speakers, stupid music player Overall this phone must not exceed 20$ if anyone ever thought to buy it.

  • can any one tell me this handset is nice handset or not

  • this is the worst phone i have ever used, the touch screen is rubbish and is not responsive at all sometimes, and battery life is poor and more issues

  • its an excellent phone.......... i have used it for one year...... unfotunatly i lost it .......i was really happy from this machine..... this phone has everything what u want..... specialy the camera........ very good picture and video quality...... speed is also good....... sound quality is little bit poor........ but overall this phone worth money.......

  • good looks..camera great for outdoor photography..macro videos.. Poor battery performance,a resistive touch screen,n a poor flash are the bad points..

  • is it a good phone or not? what disadvantages and what advantages has?

  • Don't buy this phone unless you want to use the camera very much. It's getting laggy after week by week or day by day eventough my memory is not to full. I think it's because symbian OS that sucks because like my nokia i used, it has same problem.

  • why i cant install downloaded equilizer program into my vivaz?anybody can help me?thanks.

  • dear amreen, from last 1 year i am using this phone..it's very good model & hardware also.no lagging,clear display,cute model,camera also good.light weight.now price wise also very good.so better take this one:)

  • How can I get WhatsApp on my Vivaz. Please send me the link

  • try mobile9.com

Bluetooth files were received through the SMS inbox, while the orig SE software file multimedia files are delivery to their respected folder.

Then after i selected my folder containing my songs, it automatically shuts down my application. Can anyone please HELP ME?

  • what they meant by lower sounds is compared to phones such as the walkman it is comparatively low,but the sounds are okay for me

  • can any one tel me while taking photo in the night will auto flash will come or not??

  • Yes, it's true, loudspeaker is kinda weak, specially for playing music outdoors, for example, though it's strong enough to play the ringtones, so you will have no problem getting your calls. Putting this aside, this is the best smart phone you can get for the price, it has cool features, all the apps you may need, good signal an it has amazing looks. I recommend it.

  • can anyone help me,which websites does the vivaz run and work on

  • yes the speakers are really bad..n the volume is pathetically low.. You can hear it ringing only if you have it quite nearby.. Music is okay in earphones..
