Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro - User Reviews

  • I'm trying to build this phone from scratch, does anyone here know where I can get the last Symbian OS?

  • I agree, wish Sony could revive their old models and revamp them

  • I agree, only if Sony would have continued and not abandon these phones, just like Nokia abandoning Ngage series and Motorola with its Razor, those phones with better hardware and software would have been a hit today.

  • For sure, I would love to see an Android version of this. My main phone is still the Xperia Mini Pro. I want something small, with a keyboard. I have an Xperia Pro, as well, but it is bigger and heavier than the Vivaz Pro. The Sony Compacts are bigger than I would like. It's a shame that Sony abandoned both the Mini and Pro phones.

  • great phone, wish they made more of these with better touch.

  • Love this phone, Sony should make more of these

  • Thank you for your crystal reply. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family :) Take care.

  • No bro, Nothing wrong with missing someone, but one must not lower self worth by running after people who don’t share same feelings as you do. People & lives moves on & so must you. Merry Christmas & Happy New year Brother, stay blessed.

  • is it wrong to miss you?

  • would anyone buy this phone if if came out with ios or android version?

  • I miss you :(

  • so it's apple vs blackberry then.

  • Congratulations :) I know they must be keeping you busy. Yes, the only place where I can find peace and you :D I do check this page every day in a hope. Let me know when you buy Iphone X :) will buy it too as always. Yes I have lost interest in many things now, its now me and bike (cycle) - my only companian. Take care and if possible keep in touch, thank you for the message. Meant a lot. Bye CP :)

  • Haha .. I don’t get time to use net much now! Got 2 kids to bother me enough. But Hey you been active, I don’t check this page much now. Lost interest in cell phones etc.. I might buy iPhone X .. seriously stop posting bro, it’s getting embarrassing now 😂.. I will not reply again. Bye :)

  • Bro? Deja vu haha. Pixel 2? not bad but how about Blackberry?

  • Yeah bro let’s switch to some other brand, how about Pixel 2 .. you Takecare :) Bye.

  • I agree Iphone X is overpriced. How about we move to a new brand?

  • iPhone X is overpriced.

  • still waiting for a revived version of Vivaz Pro maybe closer to pixel 2, why does’t Sony tie up with google?

  • One plus one shares my birthday ;) HBD to her

  • vivaz pro

  • I know you will read my message, its okay if you don't want to reply. I will understand. ILU my CP.

  • just wanted to smile to my lil Vivaz Pro :)

  • wish could talk in morse code. IMU and ILU as always.

  • Vivaz Pro is getting relaunched as per rumours, ILU.

  • shouldn't vivaz pro come with android and a bit of touch up, it would beat iphone for sure.

  • I miss you my blackberry

  • don't you miss your blackberry?

  • i wish my blackberry is back in my life

  • nokia 3310 is back, what say? waiting for BB to be back :)

  • nokia n6 will be out soon, buying?

  • my iphone where are you?

  • did you love Vivaz Pro?

  • Wtf?

  • :(

  • knock knock

  • Happy New Year baby :) hope you have a great one. ILU and IMU too..

  • Merry Xmas baby :)

  • which phone should i buy?

  • I wish I could just hear you once :(

  • Still waiting, like everyday

  • Im planning to gift an iphone to my wife on new years, thats one of the few things that still makes her happy. She was a Sony and Blackberry fan before moving on to Apple. Sometimes all I need is a smile from her and that she still loves me like before :)

  • Don't buy an iphone that's for sure, hoping they would launch vivaz pro with android instead.. it will be much better deal than the options we have right now

  • which phone are you planning to buy? will buy myself the same :)

  • we should all buy the samsung note 7 lol

  • Iphone7 anyone?

  • i still love my iphone6s and its black cover gifted by my wifey :)

  • Looking at how Iphone 7 launch, I'm happy with my 6s - better to wait for Iphone 8. On other news Nokia is coming back :)

  • I guess its better to use iphone 7 Mr Ravo

  • Brilliant Phone.

  • is there any other phone like this?

  • Great phone

  • miss this phone and the person who made me fall in love with it.

  • does anyone know, if any company still make symbian phones?

  • The phone makes me remember why the likes of SE and BB were one of the best even though I own an Iphone without a choice. Miss an actual QWERTY keyboard. Guess my generation is slipping away sadly.

  • A day to celebrate, 6 years of togetherness with vivaz pro.

  • On Ebay.com

  • now this.. my phone is near 5 years old, i was using it 4 years without break.. now the case have a crack and the power on/off button goes lost, i can't turn it on no more, if i turn it on (sometimes on luck i succeed to turn it on) by pressing where was the contact button.. due to the crack on the case, the screen is getting crazy and goes up/down through the menu by it self.. overall is an excellent phone i love it so much :p

  • Yep

  • Does anyone know where one can get the original battery for this model? -CP

  • Beautiful phone,

  • don't be up.

  • best phone ever

  • don't be up, sleep well :) goodnight . tc I'll be here.

  • you know whenever you think of me ...i sneeze real bad :/ off to sleep now :) adr CP..love you :)

  • wanna try bbm? 55A5E544 ;)

  • do you think blackberry is better? their OS is as slow as snail. it would be better to have android running on Blackberry, the qwerty keyboard of bb is perfect :) many years of experience what say? :P countless nights ...Missed you :)

  • CP, I'm never wrong :) I'm always the best :P be it in phones, or in personal life..they finally published your message. :D was waiting since morning :P

  • I don't know what else to write on Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro except i love this phone. GN my CP, adr, speak soon .take care :) ILU

  • does anyone know where I can buy Vivaz Pro? :/ and also on how to modify the OS from Symbian to Android? CP - MY and ILU :) adr.

  • Not a bad idea but I guess market is full of better devices and if you want a keyboard then you still have blackberry, so try bbm. Logged?

  • I will answer that :P, you are always wrong be it on forums or your personal life.

  • Do you think SE Vivaz Pro can make a comeback with android? it's always better to have a physical keyboard than a pure touch when your hands are wet :/ what do you think? adr CP :)

  • I find Vivaz pro better than Xperia x10 :)

  • It worked :P and since when did you start liking X10? thought you hated it.. and you know, I knew it was you from the start huh..ILU and MYSSSM.. gsmarena has blocked all my ids it seems.

  • hope it works, been trying to message since morning

  • SE x10 buhahaha ! :P

  • why is that you find it Crap? :P Edit: finally able to post ...they think they could block me ...duh

  • and why is that you find it Crap ? :P

  • why?

  • and why do you think its crap? I love Vivaz Pro :P

  • ahaan, and what according to you was a better phone at that time ? :)

  • Vivaz pro was a crap! :P

  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro is a phone that's designed for the 'power-user' - there's no other way to look at it :)

  • God Bless, hope you enjoy your work unlike me :) Goodnight and take care.

  • i work in repairing shop, it's my job :) Goodnight, Namaste :) Bye

  • Cos if you ever were in love, you wouldn't act like a preacher on a already dead forum and have decency to respect others users on the forum.. what brings you on this forum btw?

  • There are guys who would do anything in this world to be with the girl who they love then why you not with her? Why are you always on forums? ;) hope this solves your case and sorted. So please leave the forum for the real users. :) Bye

  • Why do i get a feeling that we know eachother?

  • Nobody intentionally hurts someone they love but if your girl picks a fight over irrelevant stuff which could be solved by just talking to eachother calmly, instead she choose to speak out words that would hurt the guy's feeling about her.. what would you have to say about it? it's not always a guy's mistake as the girl makes it look like. There are guys in this world who would do anything to be with the girl they love but only if girl understood he only loves her would make it simple.

  • Malaysia :)

  • Sorry to say but Before hurting someone, realize that if you want them back you have to be willing to pick up all broken pieces and accept the fact that no matter what you do to fix them, they won't be the same again hence dead :)

  • Google is surely a blessing lol, wish you did some advanced search before posting. Anyway Petaling street also famous as Chinatown sells fake/ Replica, so obviously my phone isn't a new/ Genuine :) You can always buy a gift for someone you hate from there. I use an iPhone 6+ :) Are you a Malay?

  • You bought a brand new Vivaz Pro? I guess you are referring to Petaling St, KL? and For sure Nokia does exist but it's not the same with Microsoft OS. I liked Nokia when they had Symbian. I have an IPhone at the moment, but not an apple fan boy. I have moved on? don't think so, else wouldn't be visiting these forums. Why would you say she is dead? sorry but that's not a nice thing to say cos I still love her even if she doesn't anymore but I'm sure she does, Anyway hope you enjoy your phone. Take Care.Bye

  • Bought this phone last year from Pedaling street, Malaysia and facing problems since. Fixed most of them with the help of previous posts on this forum. It's a very old model :) but I like it. Here in Malaysia we mostly use Samsung and Apple takes the second place, Nokia still exists :) Guess what, I think you should forget her as you have already moved on and who knows maybe she's already dead :) You take care. Bye

  • Yep my bad, This was a phone she owned, Symbian was a good OS but they failed to update themselves with time.. I had the Nokia phones with Symbian OS, they were brilliant till Nokia fell off. I did apologize to her even though I didn't do anything wrong, but she is hot headed :/ just wish could speak to her once. Life is too short, hope she understands that soon.

  • Its a Symbian device, not an Android. Aaah she's a girl :) then I'm sure, the reason must be pretty strong.

  • You can root your phone, not sure which version of Android do you have for this phone but then again you can install custom ROM to add as flavour. Aahh I'm pretty sure she does check the forum like me everyday but won't reply cos of her ego and also she thinks she has a reason for being mad at me :) that's just being a girl I think. :/

  • We don't even get updates for this phone anymore. Well your Mister/Miss Someone certainly doesn't look in mood of returning back though lol ..

  • Waiting for someone I met on this forum, and although the phone is not available in store but still like it :)

  • This phone available still? Why do you keep posting here?

  • @Alizah: Happy Independence day :) miss you

  • I'm glad :) so do you like it?

  • yes' i have...

  • i have sony u8a #razv

  • why did they change the interface :/ and where are you? x-(

  • guess it's true, time changes everyone. adr.

  • still no reply.

  • miss the good old days with vivaz pro :/

  • I love this phone, hope you now know why i had to write this :/

  • miss this phone

  • anyone still using this phone? I miss this forum :(

  • Does anybody know how to keep all the contacts i have on my phone. Is there a way to transfer them on a computer. If so, will i be able to transfer them onto a new phone such as HTC or iPhone? Thanks a lot

  • Worst phone I ever had. 1st repair in 3rd month (earpiece). Completely dead after 2,5 year - white screen issue, my old Nokia 6233 works already 7 years! Turned to Samsung now...

  • I have had a problem with slow or no respond of touch screen... and one day I have accidentally "little" baked this phone (the plastic is so warm up). After that I have no problem with this phone :)

  • Gooodddd...........

  • Worst.Phone.Ever. Do not even think about getting this phone for one second. I've had this phone for almost 2 years now and I've had to get it taken in for repairs 6 times. The phone will randomly shut off, it is slow and unresponsive, and the plastic on the phone tends to break off.

  • hey, I have one question. It may be funny, but here how things are...My SE Vivaz pro's touch screen is not working while it is cold...Soon as I warm up it, or put it closer to sometnih that blowing warm air, touch screen works again.. I hope u understad what am I sayin. Hope u can help me. Anyone? PLEASEEEEEEEE

  • I think if you have a nokia n97 or are planning on getting one, this phone is somewhat of a comparable upgrade and in someways a better choice. The cpu is almost twice as fast. The camera takes good pictures and videos. The keyboard has a good layout. All in all its Sony's version of the n97.

  • I too have lost the use of my touch Screen which means when I touch the unlock icon it does not unlock the phone. Can this screen be replaced, and is it feesable.

  • useless phone. looks is 5/5.

  • hello , from where can i buy it ? please i live in amman jordan

  • I love this Vivaz pro so much!! very unique and cute!! :)

  • I love this Vivaz pro so much!! very unique and cute!! :)

  • Hello. SE really let me down. This model caused me alot of troubles. In brief main cons: * Hangs alot, and by time, restarting may not solve it, and you have to take it to maintenance to re-install firmware and lose alot of data. * Scrolling through screen isn't nice. * Software compatibility is a problem. You cannot get original software easily from big sites like OVI. Nokia restricts it's symbian software for it's devices and SE don't give you any software store on the net, so you have to get un-trusted software and risk it. * Battery life is less than average * Earphone quality is less than average * Materials used to make the phone don't last for long. After long use of keypad some keys start losing their frame.. Finishing easy to scratch, back cover doesn't fit nice... etc * Modern Software not supported: No viber, Old version of Whatsapp, old version of Skype.. To be fair, some good things are: * Fast CPU * Very good camera that shoots well in all conditions * Nice design (fancy look only) * Feels familiar if you are a Nokia user * Cost isn't very high, so you don't feel sorry to throw it into a wall or burn it after you get disappointed from it ;)

  • goodbye to my Nokia n97 mini, because i Swap it to this Phone, Higher Specs than before... Bogus Ka!

  • Hello, I am French and I search a cell phone '' sony ericsson vivaz pro '' white. Mine broke but I like the model. New or used (but in good condition). PS : I'm sorry if my English is not very well.

  • hi users.. i have been using this phone since 2010 october. its been working great till now (compared to others). because i hav found people complaining about their phones jus months after they hav bought them. in that case i luvd this phone. recently, i bought xperia x8. it couldnt handle more than 10 apps. it used to hang. whereas, in my vivaz pro, i hav run 18 apps in parallel and it didnt hang! so, cudos to its processor. talking about the camera, there are rare phones which has continuous auto focus in video recording. so, its camera is amazing!!! if you are looking for apps and HD games, i would recommend tou to visit www.sonyericsson-vivaz.blogspot.com enjoy using your phone instead of blaming it for silly reasons. keep in mind.. it is far better than other smart phones in the same category.. :)

  • it just can't read my external memory???

  • no! No symbian s60v5 ed can upgraded not recomended! Iven nokia handset s60v5, symbian anna OS can only upgraded to nokia bell OS! S60v5 now is outdated all apps in this os platform is end no new apps. Created for this platform! This is now dead SE is now moving in android and wp thay abandon symbian! Sad!

  • i give u one! stevebasu.net all symbian softweres u looking is here! Reply me if work or not! Tnx!

  • Use Auto Update.. I do the same. it works wonders... :)

  • No , it won't , it will just upgrade its own symbian to a newer version , though it doesn't make any differences

  • where can I find some apps and games for my vivaz pro from?

  • all of u..i want to ask something..vivaz pro can upgrade to android?as a xperia pro...

  • Hi Everyone !!! I've a Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro which Firmware Version R2EA021. After Hard Reset of my phone *#7370# Phone Language including all menu chenge with Chinese and I can't change with English. I change language from settings but Menu language not change. Please Help Me !!!

  • Guys, the newer successor to this phone is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro. It is a truly excellent device which you will no be disappointed with. (and no, do not listen to those telling you to get an Arc or some crappy HTC phone - the Xperia Pro and its QWERTY really are that good and IMO is superior to every other phone on the market (including those that may look better on paper).

  • Its this phone can upgrade to symbian anna or belle? If yes pls! Help me to do this!

  • firstly u should noe wat we can do in symbian os okkk windows phone is not capable to hold its own os n 1 more thng in prise of 1 windows phone u can take 3 sybian phone okk

  • This phone is not near as bad as these people make it out to be! Abeit it is VERY complicated. Once you master the functions its really cool! This phone is not for the feeble minded! I love it! Bobby

  • htc wildfire s

  • CPU and GPU is very good. But loosing time problem is to bad and no manufactor support. 2-3 minutes lossing time every day.

  • OS : Symbian,, symbian sucks it must b android or windows based os phone

  • u can get apps on zedge

  • I say For all the people how said vivaz u8i is bad .there are foll becase i bought vivaz u8i and he is so so so good

  • one word describes this deal . frustrating and liable to give Sony a bad name for sometime to come , and this comes from brand loyal customer of Ericsson for years .

  • I have used a phone, liked the phone BUT the problem is that the phone will start freezing @ winter and even after winter it will give rise to more problems in terms of functionality. I think such things were not put to comsiderations. EITHER THAN THAT 8 OUT OF 10

  • mad phone

  • Yeah! D phone is physicaly okay but it doesn't hv gud facilities.

  • This phone is a real shit ! i had it for 1 year now and it's avery bad experience to have .. the touchscreen is slow (but good compared to the nokia resistive ones) the software sucks !..

  • It's not actually that bad because it has a 5mp camera that can take a good quality pictures and it can record a video in 720p quality. And the camera has a flash also. If you are looking for an android phone, there are some android that have a 5mp camera but they don't have a flash and they only record a VGA video. It has a 2G, 3G network, WiFi and GPS. It also supports Java. There are so many Java Games and apps in the Internet. Even though it is a Symbian phone but it is still okay.

  • Haha ud be a fool for not getting this phone!its an all rounder and most meant for business and not for playing games take your neagtivetly about this great phone else where :)

  • Its not a stupid phone!it generally very good had mine for 2 years still works well...enough said!

  • to those who interested this phone please be remind twice time because this stupid phone i had brought and use before for just 6 month old i sale it until i wait iphone 4s available in oct last years and the phone U8i vivaz pro still ahead of 6 month warranty end up i have to sale this phone got many problem specially symbian OS please dont buy anymore symbian OS you been cheated because all need pay money is first. but android and IOS is prefect good most all free apps and game plus often update new version firmware to establish the phone better preformance.

  • if you have bought this mobile then you are the biggest fool on earth and if you haven't then please don't, please don't make a fool out of yourself. Think smart n always go for capacitive touch screens and better os like the ios or android and do make sure that you have a good cpu and gpu because this company has fooled everyone with this cellphone. So guys please dont buy this.

  • when this phone will update its OS version ?

  • Phoenix, you can buy xperia arc s. the best sonyericsson phone after xperia s. i have vivaz pro the worst phone ever

  • -Touchscreen is really really bad , you seriously have to press so it's not like most touchscreen phones. I couldn't find any updates. Symbian os is really bad in my opinion , playnow store doesn't have many games as free, only about 20trial version games ,screen is kind small but that's only my opinion. +Very good qwerty keyboard and good battery life. Camera is also quite good but quite far from the top phones. My overall opinion about this phone. I feel like that this phone could be a good phone if you need much phone in your job. For spare time etc.. this phone is quite bad. I wouldn't recommend this phone.

  • is the very very bad mobile in the World.

  • i wana buy dis 1 but most of d comments u guys gave are discouraging me... so,i got 1 question here,if dis not dat gud,then which SE shud i go 4?? any recommendation???

  • haha.. dont tell jokes.. i can enter to the ovi store i was tryed that last night... is Nokia based phone vivaz pro, my friend have C6-01 nokia.. and the apps works perfect on his and my phone (vivaz pro) and we both visit the ovi store. raju.. why u dont make your own private collection wow your 21th (u8i) yeah right haha and ofc is your last sony ericsson phone... bcs now is just sony

  • When I first got the phone I loved it. A few months later, Android and iOS took the market by force and no one develops apps for Symbian anymore. It kind of suck being forced into getting a new phone just because you can't find any apps for it. If you want a Symbian phone, I'd say get a Nokia. At least then you can access the Ovi Store.

  • it's my 21th(u8i) and last sony ericsson phone (my probl.... Cheeeeeep touch screen )

  • Hi, that's one problem with vivaz pro. Those circular things you see underneath the screen are sort of trapped moisture. For some reason, the touchscreen portion of vivazpro is not airtight enough to resist humidity or even dirt. You can bring it to mobile phone shop to have clean.

  • I DO RECOMMEND IT!! well i own this phone from the 2010 year and since now is brilliant i dunno what are u talkin abt dont confuse the others who want to buy it geez! and yes support sis files ofc dont worry :)

  • guys please help me... my phone touchscreen got some kind of circular spirals on it and somtime my touch screen is working and somtimes its not

  • volume is too low,and 5mp camera is working as 3.2mp..not suporting latest applicaxns

  • from which website can i get the apps for this phone??

  • dont forget to install garmin gps & latest sbp.. It works great!

  • how to open this phone ??? i can open it ???

  • well i have broke my touch screen and the touch mode is gone so i'm trying to use all things from the keyboard! My vivaz pro is on flight mode and when i choose normal mode i says if i want to change the flight mode when i press enter it says no,WHAT DO I HAVE TO PRESS TO SAY YESS??

  • i do not recommend this phone. I have had this phone for a year and a half and it is starting to break. I take really good care of my technologies but this phone is driving me up the wall. It is freezing, turning off unexpectedly and it opens apps when I'm not even touching it.

  • does vivaz supports sis. or sisx file???

  • this is a great phone i bought one about 4 days ago an its really cool ive downloaded themes from mobile9 an it works very well:)

  • I wana buy 1 but u guyz are discouraging me.. Some 1 tell me the actual truth.

  • i think this is not sony ericson software.very very pore no music player settings and no forword back word with keypad screen touch very very bad automaticlly its opening opctions and wt's the use for keypad only for msging useless this is not upgrade phone.i'll give rating for this phone _0% old versions or good. And pls tell me how to memory card format in this phone

  • Yeah, yeah the touch panel above expands in heat. It is heat sensitive. Most of the Vivaz pro units which were in production suffered from this.

  • The 'self touching' is caused to a hardware error. Take it to the SE service center and they'll fix it for you. It is caused by the loosening of the Touch layer on the screen, which then accidentally presses against the screen. I too had this issue with my unit, and my phone was useless. I got mine repaired for about 1700 INR(India) which translates to about approx $40.

  • This is my 3rd Sony Ericsson phone - the first was awesome - the second was a slider that would turn itself off in while it was ringing - no fix - this one the buttons on the side and bottom have broken - the hang up button only works once in a while and the touch screen goes crazy - going through the various menus while trying to text or dial - also the volume is so low it is almost impossible to hear - I use a bluetooth almost exclusively so this doesn't affect me but my daughter can't use it to talk to people...very frustrated as I like the software but being that this is the second phone in a row with serious issues I will have to follow the masses and purchase a blackberry or iphone on my next upgrade

  • I had this Vivaz Pro since December 2010.... The only problem I faced is, the touch screen automatically touch by itself. This was happen last year till now when my phone getting warm/heat and the touch screen will start to 'doing' abnormal thing. Just to make it clear, this problem just occurs when my phone geting WARM/HEAT. As addition, My phone works fine while in room (my house) temperatue but not the outside my house. This is really weird stuff that I've experience!! LOL.... So guys, what do you think actually that the REAL problem that I had? Should I change the touch screen or this is because my os problem? Should I update/reinstall my os?? What should I do.. Please help me.. P/s: sorry for my English..

  • u can prevent the vivaz pro from hanging.. just try these 2 simple steps : 1) Restart your phone once a day. 2) Once a month, run the update service (format your phone) it really helps... Also, if you r looking for apps and HD games, then visit : www.sonyericsson-vivaz.blogspot.com enjoy usig Vivaz pro!!! m lovig it

  • Move your finger down the list towards the top or bottom and the list will begin scrolling. Keeping your finger on the end of the list will continue the scrolling. This is the nature of Symbian 6 OS.

  • i think my experience with this mobile isnt very good.i think i did mistake by choosing it.

  • what will i do if this device freezes? how can i reformatt it?

  • alot of features, but when this device freezes, it needs to be taken to maintenance for formating.

  • pls help me guyz....my vivaz cant scroll up and down...it can only scroll with the guiding line which is placed in the right side of my fone screen....pls tel me he 2 change d settings pls.....

  • well thats my point also.. everytime when im askin more about the problem to share more things how happened.. noone returned to me.. that gives me a right to think 95% from the bad comments are false ones the rest 5% "Maybe" is true, lol and SB sorry vivaz pro dont had front or 2nd camera for video call... i dunno why but u need to use the back one.. i know isnt really nice thing that.. but noone is perfect :)

  • please help!!im tryn to video call but i have to look into d camera at d back so dat d receiver can see me,dosnt d vivaz pro hav a camera at d front so both ppl can see each other.how do i make dis work?

  • i am using it for more than an year now. no problem of wat so evr than y r u ppl giving statements of ur own? i mean if u hav any problem try to share it with us otherwise jux add stupid comments

  • Can the touchscreen be replaced/repaired ? Is it worth it and can it be repaired ? My display is also spoilt as some water got in...sort of dim now. The phone still does well ...I use the keyboard (thanks SE)

  • problematic phone! touchsceen prob...sound quality prob...lots of probs! batery life poor!!!!

  • Having problems with the touch screen,cant get a replacement 4 it.I have 2 abandon it.

  • wow..i use this phone for 1 whole year and the phone works just fine for me..loved the spbshell for this phone..power manager?which power manager tho....1 thing that bothers me is the headphone jack which is not comfy for me

  • weird first time i heard that problem... hmm well it seems like there is some problems who even i didnt know they exist.. i guess the next who is gonna writte bad is gonna be that the phone is started to running away got legs arms and who knows wt next

  • no,try to hard reset.,this phone is amazing

  • can't change OS from symbian to android,but can be uprade

  • a good phone,thanks sony ericsson

  • This phone was the biggest mistake of my life. Why? The whole time i had it i thought how can i make it better(the experience). Every week i had a crash(power manager crashed so badly that i needed to plug the phone in for charging to fix it) that i tried fixing with a FW rewrite, every once in a while it started doing wack stuff when it was in my pocket and locked. Conclusion i traded it for an X6 16gb and now the only thing that upsets me is that i can't OC the cpu at least to 534mhz.

  • Seriosly can u explain what breaking problems u do had it? Why everyone when im gonna ask what problems they haved it.. noone respond back.. is clear bcs u didn't had it.. geez ppl dont writte lies if u dont have more smart things to go lol

  • Nope.. too good to be true that :)

  • can I change OS of my Vivaz pro to Android gingerbread?

  • Can I change my OS to Android gingerbread??

  • I love my Vivaz Pro. The qwerty keyboard is excellent. Overall experience is decent enough. Sure, it can't compete in terms of IOS and Android smoothness, but hey, it got the basic job done.

  • So many problems... seriously, it has decent specs but it keeps breaking! Pick another one if you can, trust me.

  • so regret to bought this phone

  • And you're problAmatic too.. better don't writte and go to learn english first, before u post...

  • aha i see.. thats nice u still have guarantee.. well dont worry then.. for me it seems like they do some mistake there while they upgraded your OS, few months back i updated mine OS and everything is perfect so far. I hope your problem will solved, yeah, and for me is really weird that with the e-mail, well i hope your problem will stop here Cheers! :)

  • I'm having the phone since June 2011. No major problem so far. UI is not as smooth compared to Iphone or Android phones, but it is something you would expect from a Symbian device. I had problem with the clock sometime; it tends to be late few minutes at times and I had to set it back manually. Browsing the internet is better with Opera Mini rather than it's native browser. I love the qwerty keypad of this phone; typing is a breeze to me. Overall, the whole experience using this phone is ok. Not phone in this world is perfect, not even the Iphone. If you're looking for a decent phone with a combination of touchscreen and qwerty keypad, able to handle most or at least the basic tasks of a modern smartphones around without squeezing your monthly data plan, then this one of the phone worth considering.

  • yeah! im facing the same problem.looking for new phone in better order

  • its a problamatic phone. better dont buy. i have using for past 6months and having lots of problems.

  • Thanks Viper , just sent the phone in service( still on guarantee). what is really weird is that in November 2011 - one month before the "mistery" started , I had the telephone in service and they made an OS upgrade. For me is still a mistery what is really happening. I will see in a week time when I will get the phone back. keep in touch.

  • thats pretty weird, well i didnt know how.. but did u had tryed to update the OS in that way u'll gonna reinstall your software and everything will be back to the factory settings, master reset i think not gonna fix that, im suggesting you to try to update the OS (reinstall) with the usb cable... i hope is gonna work

  • Wrong Faill... u don't know where to search.. and im not gonna tell you bcs isnt allowed.. but try search more good, and yes there is a lot of applications.. well enough.. try google maybe heh

  • as a user i say that this phone battery back up is low and u can't find apps for this mobile

  • i am using this phone can any one say where i can download apps and games for this mobile

  • Can somebody if encountered this situation : the telephone made data transmision by itself , sending mails of 2-3 Mb each time, at an interval of 30 - 40 minutes. In fact in apprx 20 hours it transmited 125 Mb. I realize only after I received the invoice. During one month it transmited 1 Gb.The average monthly data traffic in the last 6 months was 35-40 Mb. I cannot explain this annomaly , taking in consideration that the operator cannot explain it also. They told me only that the traffic was registered correctly. I monitorized the traffic in the mentioned 20hours after I saw the huge invoice ,and I was not accessing the internet during all this time. If somebody encoutered a similar situation ,please share the info. Thank you in advance.

  • hi could anyone tell me where i could purchase the vivaz pro ive been searching for a while nw plz help thanx

  • i just buy this phone and i think that is a good phone

  • No problem... mm well i didn't had tryed that with the cooked S60 Rom, and yes i forgot that.. there is no smart dial thats true i dunno why, there is no smart dial when even my old SE K850i had smart dial, well for me isn't problem that but i know many users or business ppl like you hate that bcs of no smart dial. And "sam" sorry i have to say but dont foolish the other ppl's the screen touch is perfect about the OS i didnt had problems too soo i dont know for what u r talkin about.. and pls dont comment negative about phone which u never owned it

  • poor phone. do not use it . i am a die hard fan of sony erricson but this phone is horrible and it has let me down in its horrifying touch screen and OS.the only thing which is the best is its clarity and the aesthetics of the phone.

  • Viper! Thanks much for your reply bud! yeah I've notice most ppl who purchased this device expected to run as good as android or WM or WebOS or iOS. I agree OS60 is old but, you've still got the best applications for S60 than in Android, WM, WebOS or iOS and bloody hell they are free!! On the contrary Viper this is for you! I've read the review of this device and I'd noticed it being mentioned that this phone doesn't have smart dial, I can live with anything but Smart Dial (being a business user its important for me!) have your managed to pub a cooked S60 ROM and get the Smart Dial to work on your device.

  • Most annoying thing is the pocket dialing which it seems prone to doing, and also a bit of lagging sometimes, esp when switching from vertical to horizontal orientation, but it's really not THAT bad. Never had any issues with the keyboard, and I have average size fingers (for a girl). Also I like the camera a lot, it delivers good quality, crisp images. And the touch screen is fine for me, works well.

  • Do not get this phone - it has a crappy resistive touch screen and old OS. Get the newer Xperia Pro instead.

  • yep if u are careful with your phone it will last a lot, im used it since 2010 until now its amazing i dont plain to change it, is briliant phone.. i dont care abt the OS all i wanted is facebook twitter msn etc. and wi-fi too, good qwerty keyboard.

  • hmm i dont know bcs i never had tryed that application, with Nimbuzz everything its perfect.. btw my phone isnt hacked.. well yeah maybe is more for Nokia phones

  • To be more honest honey... I'm used it since 2010 year and since now 2012 year i had 0 Zero Crashes or failures, oh well u know nothing is perfect remember that, but i cant say nothing bad about this phone im honest bcs i still have it and i like it, the one thing on the begining that i didnt like it, it was the low sound quality but i found a original SE equalizer and the sound is more better now. Sushi i suggest you to not beleive on this reviews specially the bad ones.. bcs everyone can writte whatever they want, i suggest you to try it somehow, i can say that this phone is awesome, everything is up to you, the battery life for me is great, since now i didnt had even one single crash like Charlotte sayed, im wonderring how some of the "owners" haved that a lot of troubles, i guess they dont know how to use a mobile phone or i really dont know...

  • just got this phone and wit all the bad comments i'm havin second thoughts. will this phone last? because its expensive and it look good but does it perform well?

  • ii installed fring but theres no sound.. although my phone is haked.. id think it only work for Nokia Symbian..

  • Hey everyone! I'm thinking to get this phone either the vivaz itself or pro. but based on my past experience, since this phone has 2 functions (qwerty&touch), does it bring any problems when we slide opening the qwerty? like it goes blur for a second.

  • Hey everyone! I'm thinking to get this phone either the vivaz itself or pro. but based on my past experience, since this phone has 2 functions (qwerty&touch), does it bring any problems when we slide opening the qwerty? like it goes blur for a second.

  • Please! Can any one tell me that this phone is better for rough use? I wanna to know that this phone is also better for rough use as the Nokia phones?

  • Hi Charlotte, thanks much for the reply! Yeah its the qwerty screen and social networking n' office apps in this phone that got my attention. I find Android device lousy got friends who use em and they crib about battery life. Can't seem to find a device worth buying. I need a phone for lot of emailing and lot of twitter and found this phone better when compared to other device out there in the market. I need real good qwerty device touchscreen make me go crazy. What do you suggest?

  • To be honest with you it's a bit of a rubbish phone, you'll find that if you read the reviews, i've had it since the week after it came out and it crashed on me for the second time yesterday for no apparent reason, meaning i will have to get it fixed yet again, however if you are looking for battery life i'd probably say about 2 days at maximum before you'll have to recharge it, in all honestly you'd probably get your money's worth on another phone and even tech support has said that it has many faults and i am lucky to have had it for as long as i have done. It's a great camera phone and great for social networking and the querty keyboard comes in very handy, but the amount of faults in it you'd think you would have a much better phone for the price. Hope this helps you x

  • i like it-

  • Hi Guy, Happy New Year! I'd like to know how the battery life on this device, I'm quite a heavy user I'm on the phone making calls the whole day, I am at the moment using a BB and find my self stranded by the bad battery life by noon my battery sing shows only 1/3 remaining. I'd really appreciate it if anybody who has owned and used this device gimme a insight on the battery life. I am fine with using Symbian OS.

  • Junk phone. Always do pocket dialing.

  • I can't stand this phone. The operating system is horrible, it lags all the time and the touch really stinks. Why? BECAUSE IT HAS SYMBIAN OS. The Sony Ericsson design and features are the only reason that can make this junk get called a phone

  • IS it possible to change font styles in sony ericsson vivaz pro? please tell me..

  • yes, it supports adobe files

  • is this phone support adobe pdf reader? Please tell me if any body know.

  • Symbian phones are half smartphones. Must know it.

  • I am using it it is a very nice phone its sound is aowsom

  • this is a very nice smartphone.the problem of this phone is the touch screen.

  • ur a liar....am sure u v nt evn sin d fone b4 talkless of evn usin it. fYI...its nt evn a smartfone,got d@??? so stop ur useless commnt nd decit frm makkin pippo turn against dis 1dafl piece of technology!!! get busy!!!!!!!!

  • yes it works dont worry.. im having Nimbuzz, and i didnt had tryed Fring.. but im sure it will work, good luck :)

  • Vivaz + 8mpx Camera and more Colors available - Full Qwerty Keyboard Vivaz Pro + Full Qwerty Keyboard - 5.1mpx Camera, only White and Black color available. Thats it.. the rest are exactly the same like OS, Display etc.

  • its very nice bt price is very high

  • Fring work fine

  • hi, i going to purchase this phone within a week. i want to know that this phone will support NIMBUZZ and FRING ? if anyone knows about this pls confirm me.

  • what is the best from vivaz & vivaz pro

  • My vivaz pro works just fine. No problems at all. :) good looking and easy to use. And i have used Sony Ericssons for five years. :)

  • tell me the reasons why this phone is "worst..." if i gonna beleived on ppl like you.. i will not buy K700i then K800i K850i etc. There was rumours for every phone from thos which i mentioned that "that sucks, this sucks, that dont work, the battery died fast a bunch of bla bla bla" but i didnt listened thos negatives ppl's and i buyed every phone from thos few i have it for over 2yrs everyone from that one, and now this i have it over 1 year.. and still there is not even one thing which i can say it its bad.. isnt that im defending SE but how can i say bad words for that phones or this when i haved used it for long time and im talking about my own experience.. not like you mostly negatives who are jealous fans.. or is just "hey lets writte something bad abt SE phones soo we can change the minds on the others who are in dilema to buy SE phones or to move to another brand" No buddy im not like u liar, im writting here what i have seen and feeled from thos phones (including this one too which is my currently phone right now)

  • Do not listen to people are saying this phone is bad or worst. To me i think this phone are great. Before got vivaz pro i used motorola backflip and iphone 3gs and what i think is this phone great and cool also.... all thing on vivaz pro are HD.... luv it all time

  • BATTERY SUCKS!!!!!!! other than that the only other good thing is the HD Camera

  • Exellant Phone, i bought it from sony world ( Vovaz Pro) Full qwetry , full touch awsome battery back up even with bluetooth headset. wifi - with good speed

  • worst smartphone I ever had. Before vivaz I loved Sony Ericsson. Support from SE about this phone is equal to zero

  • all of this persons.. which i think is just a one with multiple different names, who sayed bad abt this phone... is better to not writte false comments.. im having in over 1 year.. how come my phone to work pefect, the touch screen, the battery, surfing isnt slow either... everything is perfect, i dunno what are u complain about... is pretty simple u dont know how to handle or use a phone.. or u never haved it, im telling you that the phone is awesome bcs of my own experience, but i think u never haved it.. is pretty clear. And about the song, there is an application which will improve the volume loud... soo dont comment next time sh1ts

  • just bought 4 about 4 m0nths but the t0uchscreen started to bec0me n0t sensitive..

  • scratches easily. touch screen started acting up just after 3 months. now is not working at all and without the touchscreen, the phone is essentially useless. battery doesn't last very long either. all in all, not the best buy. more trouble than it's worth

  • Agree... My touchscreen has been acting retarded and now it's dead. Worse thing for me is that I just cancelled my insurance on the phone last month -_-

  • DONT BUY THIS PHONE. Its a complete waste of money. Little more than a year old and phone has already conked off. Touch screen has gone crazy, not working. battery is dead, wont even charge. Very slow for surfing. Very fragile body, gets scratched and cracked easily. Slide was tough from th start. Sound quality bad. Only good thing was HD video quality.

  • Not a fan of this phone...it was okay for a couple months, but I've had it for a year now and wish I wasn't stuck in a 3 year contract. Turns off randomly, doesn't notify me of txt msgs, sometimes needs to be rebooted just to actually received txt msgs, freezes up frequently, etc. I've had other SE phones before and this one definitely isn't my favourite.

  • i have this phone which i bought last year.. slow on surfing the net,slow when its rotate.. very good hd video recording and picture. for me.. if u want to have this phone for surfing the net.. forget it.. but if you want to snap the HD video recording..then i deserve to have it

  • I want to know What about the sound Is it high or low as possible tell me about it?

  • i want to buy vivaz pro...is it ri8 choice?? plz give me suggestion..

  • DONT drop it then itll work for you but if you abuse it,it obvoisly wont no phone do well after being dropped

  • Its a great phone just dont ever drop it and itll last forver and never flatline on you had mine for 2years with no major problems

  • Its a nice phone but too fragile.i love it and iam using it rite now

  • it sthe best phone i wana buy it can smeone tl exact price fo ths cell phone

  • Don't buy this! It's too fragile and the Symbian OS is... Just bad!

  • I'm using vivaz pro. I have my complains, but I made it work the way I want it to. While messing with it, the default media app (picture, music, videos) no longer has any of the options. Just an empty space with only the update and close buttons available. They disappeared one after the other overtime, first pictures, then videos, now music. I don't know what caused this and I want things to get back to normal. But how...? Your help will be most appreciated

  • Best phone i ever had. It supports all the apps even skype. One of the best phones of sony ericsson!

  • very glitchy, terrible interface, very sensitive side buttons but the touch screen and lock buttons aren't. Headphones isn't standard, runs out of battery quite fast, specially when it starts blinking, only takes maybe 3 hours of standby till dead. Still worth keeping though, wait till u have enough for an upgrade

  • One of the worst phone I've got. The look and the keyboard is fine but the software freeze, battery short life, not a good antenna reception out of a city and somehow bugs like ...screen lock activated and keep calling on my last caller list when in my pocket. Also you can't hear the alarm when battery is low so you have to remember to bring your charger all the time. Not a good buy even for free.

  • One of the weakest versions of Sony freezes most of the time and weak touch screen please don't buy this one

  • The Vivaz pro was the first phone i bought myself. And seriously it's a great phone. He's maybe hard to understand in the beginning but with time you'll be so happy to have it! He got a lot of programs and you can download some more. The camera is good and the video are quite good. I just broke mine by dropping it in some varnish =_=.... I looked for another cell (Nokia) but he's the cheapes and best cellphone I've found. And i do think i'll buy it again! Really Really liked it!

  • very good & awesome phone

  • It is the worst phone. The USB broke in 2 months and I took it back to ALEOTIS Larnaca Cyprus shop and they said it cannot be fixed and it is not under guarantee and the boss in Nicosia said they cannot do nothing about it. Don't buy anything from ALEOTIS CYPRUS . I bought it 225 Euro and it doesn't work.

  • U'r insane, this is a beautiful, reliable phone. u can never go wrong with a Symbian Platform. The phone's durable (I'v dropped it a few times) and takes much better pictures than the SE Xperia X2 I had before.

  • WOW...Very cute......Can't wait to get on with is..smiling...

  • OMG this is the WORST phone ive had nd it was my very first phone okay so i dropped it on the bus ONCE and it was only about 30 cm above the ground and it got this really BAD crack on it.... nd then soon the screen started to black out and then all of a sudden it just stopped working!! This phone sucks :p This phone is probably known for the delicate and fragile structure... nd if you dont think my story is legit my frnd has a blackberry and he dropped it on the bus-much higher than 30 cm-and there wasnt even a scratch on his phone alrite so if you wannna buy a phone-DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!!! hoefully this was helpful to you guys :)

  • i have this phone..it is very cool and no any probs with my phone..it iz the best phone when considering with other sony phones.

  • The best phne i ever had

  • not true wi-fi working extra brilliant for the ear becoming very low.. clean your ears using cotton. Can u proove it that this is your 2nd phone.. i can proove it that the phone is working amazingly fast with pics or clips... whenever u want, btw u sayed u will change it for Nokia or Samsung bcs of the android.. i see u know a lot of the cell phones... Nokia dont had android phones.. is the same like Vivaz or Vivaz Pro. These both phones are based on Nokia plathform. "Mr. Just to writte something bad"

  • heyy.. i think i know how to solve ur probs.. this is bcoz of ur inbox hav too many mssges. thats y u can only see new mssges by open ur inbox.

  • dont buy i have it from one year ago wifi not working good the ear for the phone becomes very low and other of my friend have vivaz and facing same problem this is the second phone sonyericsson for me i hate it before 1 year no more sonyericsson may be next phone will be samsung or nokia sure andriod software

  • how much i have to pay for this celphone?????

  • if u beleive on thos applications just do it ;) i already did it.. there was warnings like the phone will be damaged... etc. bcs of the protection.

But nop dude i decide to not beleive on ppl's like u, since i was in dilema to buy it or not the Sony Ericsson K700i long time ago was that when ppls like u was writted like "bad phone.. slow... battery died very soon.. blaa blaa etc." And Kumar download the EQ dude for better sound quality.. if the original phone gives u low sound try to install some application which will improve the volume for god sake, i already did and i dont had low music anymore. And "mohmat" the phone isn't slow i dunno what are u talkin about.. are u sure u buyed (if u even buyed it)original SE or is just a chinese copy.. like iphone4 here in europe? just check it twice bcs i dont had that issues.. have a nice day!

  • Please tell me which one is better ??? Vivaz pro or Vivaz ?

  • Hey, I want to buy it . Hows its sound quality and camera quality ???

  • Clock issues plague this phone, even after a return to Sony, this phone continues to lose time (about 7 mins. per day). If I flash the ROM it will keep proper time for a few weeks, then without warning it fails again. Geeze I thought watches were the first consumer digital devices to be perfected.

  • I am using this mobile since months and i must say its a awesome mobile.. For those who have been using symbian mobiles, this is a good option... I installed extra UI features.. and the phone looks cool.. Net speed is good... and i can watch even youtube without much buffering. All in all i like this mobile so much... and pls dont listen to those who have never used this set... they dont knw anythin abt this

  • iam a big sony ericsson fan.but now most hate sony ericsson.because this phone sound is very wrost.this is 3g mobile.but net is very very slow.this phone price is very high.totally sony ericsson company cheat me.i hate sony ericsson vivaz pro

Oh and one thing, The Battery is great i never had problems charging it (bcs i read one post down who sayed that he/she had problems charging it), so for the others just dont beleive on everything what u will read here or there... have a nice day!

  • The most horrible phone ever made by Sony Ericsson. THe phone randomly drops call. People on the other line feel as though i'm talking through a wind tunnel or something. Horrible antena reception. I did not like it. I had to return the phone like 4 times before Sony Ericsson would change it. And the sales rep at fido recognized me from going in so often with this phone and confirmed that this was a common problem people were having with this phone. So not good!

  • It might be the best Phone ever if it has the answering device!!

  • their are software pro with sony erricsson vivaz pro u8i

  • Oh! and the worst is when I charge the phone it charges for a few minutes and says battery full!

  • hey guys..i've read till now 4 pages of comments all concerning software problems.i bought this phone two days ago and quite frankly i don't know if it's bad..it's touch screen needs to make quite a press on it (not like the corby pro for example) it takes some time to load the msgs menu..i had before it the nokia N86 and i guess i had the same time to load stuff..it's a shameful symbian issue but dear SE had nothing to do with it..i just hope if they can upgrade this firmware..it would be cool

  • Today I brought the phone. When I tried it to connect the my PC. It is completely fail in all respect. It neither acting as a mass storage nor as a PC companion. I tried many ways to find the solution on sony ericsson's website, downloaded the PC companion V 2.01.217 but problem still persist. I'm totally frustrated by the phone. If anybody can help me regarding this issue. that will be great helpful.

  • They said at first its a great phone! but now even phone dealerships agreed that has a lots of problems. just a crap product. very low quality.

  • this phone is ok for someone just want to buy it for calling and capturing video. phone it just has problem like bad sound(really slow), no flash(just camera light), always lag. i suggest you save money and buy htc evo shift 4g or merge. much lot better and has full qwerty keyboard.

  • superb

  • the best phone I have ever had..thnx sony ericsson

  • i dont thik so its battery back up so good i m using full day internet chatting near about 10 hours

  • does anyone has the problem with the touch screen?

  • i have the same problem

  • I've had this same problem and had my battery replaced 3 times. I'm told that the problem is consistent with many of the vivaz pros, which is why they've discontinued them.

  • erm... i want to buy this SE Vivaz... but the comment that i had read make me so confused... i'm not sure enough if this phone is good or not... but from the comment, it seem that this is a worst phone... could please som1 explain about this phone in detail..

  • I have had my vivaz pro now for about a year. My first disappointment was when I transferred my contacts from my sony phone I had used for the past 3 years. They came out scrambled and with many repeats. Some information was assigned to other contacts. I had to edit the entire list taking quite a few hours. The Sony ericsson site offered a solution -- transfer my data from my previous phone to my Vivaz pro phone via their site. Same results The second disappointment was when I learned it did not have voice activated dialing. I search the web for an app which would work but all the symbian apps which were compatible with Nokia s60 v5 phones would not work on the vivaz pro. This made the phone almost useless became most of my outgoing calls required voice dialing due to my profession. The third frustrating disappointment was when it started hanging and crashing. I had to send it in for repair. When I got it back all my downloaded apps were gone and all my other info was gone. When I tried to restore it from the Sony-ericsson web site where it had been saved the contacts came back scrambled and the calendar and other info did not restore. When I tried to restore it from the suppied app, I experienced the same problem. Many s60 v5 apps will not work or even install. Do not buy this phone if you need voice activated dialing or want a true s60 v5 experience instead stick to a Nokia s60 v5 phone which has all the same features without the incompatibility issues.

  • you can download the Update Engine from sony ericsson's official site...

  • My vivaz pro keeps on turning off on its own without me even touching it does anyone have the same problem?!

  • i was a nokia fan for a long time.since i got vivaz pro,i'm happy with sony ericsson too.vivaz pro is simply awesome,easy to use and handy looking.this would be better if it has a secondry cam but still it's grt

  • Most common problem is people dont use a unused channel on the router. with pc download inSSIDer which scans all 13 channels find one in the middle with no-one on IE if 1,6,11 The common defaults are cluttered with yours on one of them as well then if 2,3,4,5 are free use 3 or 4 get a channel to yourself & the phone wont be stuggling to communicate. its radio interference on same channel that causes errors & slow wifi & poor old phone cant connect.

  • how change the camera when use g3 to front camera??

  • hei,how can u complain vivaz pro.u r talking about the common problems of symbian,not the prblm of sonyericsson.how ever the media,camera,and video capturing is brilliant,which are not from symbian..,ha ha ha,poor symbian,not se.

  • Hi I bought Vivaz Pro 5 days earlier, Initially it Wi-Fi was working perfectly, But since last 3 days it is not connecting. Giving message no network found, Even it shows the list of networks available. Please respond if you know its solution.

  • how could i update sony ericsson vivaz pro operating system ?

  • i hav been using it since 1 year.. Dear users, dont forget to update your phone using the update engine or pc companion. i know it lacks cool apps and HD games. well, u can get it from www.sonyericsson-vivaz.blogspot.com now my phone is loaded with 6 HD games and around 27 cool apps.. i know there are limitations in this phone but you can overcome it and making it awesome by installing things... its user experience is awesome after installing SPB shell etc. have a nice experience with your phone. Dont forget to restart your phone once a day for optimum performance! it frees the RAM memory as there are some programmes which keeps on using the RAM and then it gets overloaded aftr 2 or 3 days and the phone starts to hang. have a nice experience.. regards

  • I Had This Phone For A Month In That Period Its Spent 18 days on SE Service Center When It Came Back Flash Light And Auto Rotation Has NOt Worked I Have Submitted The Phone To The Shop Which I Have Brought The Phone They Said They Give A Replacement To Me..I Am Thinking Of Exchanging It With Nokia c7.........

  • trust me guys its not worth its money. I bought it last for 360 euro holy shit. No games no apps old menu type no password and it isnt a good touch phone too the only good thing about it its the keyboard, so i suggest u to buy a blackberry or even better save money for an iphone or if i prefer something better htc wildfire :)

  • u r files are deleted update u r phone with sony ericsson pc companion

  • plz can anyone advice me because i cant see the video that i record it says that i can't play sound and video and no mp4 or mpg or 3gp why ? i cant play this kind of video

  • hey there..nokia c6 is worse but c6-01 is far better than both c6 and vivaz pro..though it has no qwerty keyboard, but it is amoled capacity touchscreen instead of resistive..so it has better on the interface and nokia has ovi store just like an android market or apple store..this store would give you lots of apps and games..but if are the one who love lots of apps and games within a budget, i think u can try on android phone..it wound be fun ..good luck :))

  • I have used this DUD of a phone for # months and I have had it, It's full of glitches.I am very dissatisfied with this wetered down version of this symbian OS. Lots of limitations on what you can download due to most of the clients available out there are for nokias running symbian. No OVI market. How sad Sony Ericsson... This is very upsetting since Symbian is on it's last leg. Sony Ericsson What a rotten product, you should talk to guys like us for your R&D when making these handsets. 3 out of 10 for me...

  • Too bad it's a Symbian phone, otherwise if it's Android, I will get it straight away. It's seems to be a good fone

  • This is the worst phone ever. The phone is a complete disappointment. The operating system is hard to use and the updates does not help. My phone can't keep track of time, it loses 5-10 minutes every week. It ran out of battery once and i have been recharging it for a day now and it still wont turn on. I tried updating but the update is not working either, it fails at the installation section. Also i can't turn off 3G on this phone. With all my problems the support was of no help even the most simple problems like turning off 3G the steps on the support page was totally off. I am very disappointed and i have always been a Sony Ericsson fan but I've had this phone for only few weeks right out of the box and i think it might already be broken without even dropping it. I've been searching for a solution but there are a lot of people with the same problems and no solution. The Sony Ericsson people just tell us to update it every time and it never solves any of the problems. Sony has ditched the symbian phones and anyone who decided to buy one. Now were just left with dead weight.

  • As owner of VivazPro for 6 months. So far I rate it 50/50. Size is good for carry, screen is okay, camera is very good for picture but vidoe freez few seconds (at the begining ie. on the 3rd or 4th second right after capture mode kicked in) while recording video. GPS is working fine, I have 4 GPS systems installed, they all working as expected just take a bit long to obtain Sat signal from time to time. WIFI working but signal but strong. Reading is abit hard as due to its size, browser is crap. What's bad ?...the screen protector begin to peel off, it seemed caused by hot Summer weather and I also heard, phone does not work when it is too cold either (if you are in emergency in Winter, you might out of luck...beware). The installed sofatwares are all craps. They hided everything from the user, even my own simple text file that I created via their NOTE program, I just can not find them via their Organizer. The O/S is crap so are those installed softwares and that is why Nokia/SE is soon out of business, they desired it.

  • Is it 3Gvideocalling enable?

  • anybody can tell me,sony ericson vivas pro originaly from china?

  • Do not waste your time on any symbian phone. it is dying breed. Not future proof.

  • not bad....

  • I am having vivaz pro...sony service in india is pathetic....IVR is better than the call center agents....nd i bought this phone...its speaker not at at all working...i am unable to hear what the other person in the other side of the world says..overall the phone is good...but u get problems like this...nd u wont hear good sound quality when hearing music...and the phone hangs sometimes...trust me..i wont rrecommend tthis phone..i was once a sony fan....now it became the most hated company....the rest depends upon u guys to buy it or not....

  • Go for C6-01 M using it For more than 3mnth..basically for GPRS an the music...Cool Guys...Enjoy the C6..No Complain..

  • Correction, many people do not have the parts.

  • It has been about an year that I am using this phone and I am absolutely disliking it. The O/S is symbian, so you do not have much to do there, I would advice people to buy Andriod rather than symbian. It has terrible voice reception, and the touch bugs me sometimes. No I did not buy a used product, it is 100% new. I am sick and tired of my phone, and am finding it difficult to repair it as not many people have the parts. Oh, and the battery life is HORRIBLE! If I were you, I would look elsewhere...!

  • helloo frnds can anyone help me abt unlocking of this fone how can i get unlock code pls help me..

  • i have been using sony vivaz pro for about 8 months and it has good battery back up and touch screen sensitivity is nice. no complaints has still came. i am using this phone as normal phone either rough or smooth. still no problem as come till. i prefer u to go sony vivaz pro. camera quality, picture quality, music and everything is good.

  • vivaz pro is better than c6,and aino.vivaz has nice specs including hd video,and cute shape to use

  • Which one is best: Nokia C6-01 Or Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro Or Anio ??? Please suggest me. I want to buy a mobile as soon as possible.

  • Yes, i think its better than x8. the one and only thing x8 is better than this phone is that its using android. but its only android 2.1.

  • speed the operating system and mobile ?.........speed the internate usinng or download ?.........price in uk ?..recently.

  • its not better dan c6 bcozzit doesnt hav 2nd camera fr 3g videocalling

  • its not better than c6 bcozz it doesnt have 2nd camera fr 3g video calls

  • is this better than experia x8?cant choose:(

  • just got this phone. Everything seems ok so far. But the speaker is really really poor. My previous phone was the n95 8gb. And the sound quality of this phone is not even half of that of n95

  • is this better than c6??? i wnt to replace it with c6???wil it better???? guide me plzzz...

  • got the phone for a few months, one of the worst Sony made.. slow, touch screen not sensitive enough. when connected to PC, you can only pick up the memory card, cannot pick up the phone memory. quality of phone is weak. Internet is dead slow. one good thing is the HD video camera.. so ya.. hehe

  • My phone does it own thing sometimes ,like im typing and then it goes wonky and scrolls down and types stuff by itself and stuff and its just started doing this lately its almost a year old,and ive just had the software upgraded by an official sony ericsson shop any helpful solutions?

  • love the coments of u all guys..bt i have too many wishes to by this..but still confuse would i take the step to this..can ignore also..will it harm any to me as i use too too GPRS..an Games..rest few music an all..Plz do reply me m NEO...

  • ma phone jus turned one year old. m happy with it.. no complaints till now even with rough usage.. frankly speaking, i dhavnt faced hanging problems and the problem with clock (lagging time behind) and all. n users, jus turn off your phone once a day for better performance because it frees the RAM space orelse, there are some apps which does not exit completely and leads to hanging of ur phone.. for downloading apps or themes, visit : www.sonyericsson-vivaz.blogspot.com

  • No, it isn't an Android... I had this phone (8 month).. Vivaz Pro might be a GOOD phone if you know to install GOOD sofware/apps. But, I still not satisfied at all about this phone.. I can give, 3 1/2 STAR.. Still love my Blackberry!

  • actually in 1 week, 12 mins slower. there is a fix, when you update your phone, this fixes bug.

  • the phone loses about 40 seconds each day. over a period of 1 month it'll lose 12 minutes! i've had it for 7 months now & it's been in for repair 3 times for total of 9 weeks! absolutely useless service.

  • is it android?

  • it was the worst that i had ever..no backup..gets hang if continues used...can't access two to three acpplication...headsoff to VIVAS better to waste your bugs to fit us stomach....

  • I got mine for 2 weeks now. Nice phone. No problem so far. Quite slow to access Facebook but very quick to access Youtube. I really love the QWERTY keyboard. Battery would last for about 3 days as I hardly use it for internet (mainly using it for phone calls & SMS). Both camera & video shoots quite amazing pictures. Nothing much to complain on the UI & the resistive touch screen; something that you would expect on any of the Symbian OS (touch screen not intuitive etc.). Overall, it's a pleasant experience for me so far in using this phone.

  • Have ever anyone had a phone whose clock stays behind with a quarter of hour in just 1 week? Or whose automatic time update modify the hour with 12 hours behind the actual time? If not.... please try Vivaz Pro! (or Vivaz, cause I have a friend with the same problem) I have tried to find a solution with the Sony Ericcson. I guess they could not believed themselves cause I never got back an answer.

  • Ohh.. Sorry for my mistakes. It's dual sim card for sure. Not expansion. Thanks, btw

  • I see, dual sim card,i thought you meant expand the sim card..Here in UK they dont like dual sim because of competing networks..I would like to answer but only thing i can think of is when we want something in UK we go to local market.These dealers who do unlock mobiles etc they may have the part you are after.

  • No!! I really mean sim card expansion.. Which mean,, u can buy that expansion.. Two slot for sim card.. I hv seen one, but... Only suitable for mostly Nokia phone.. Btw, its sell in Malaysia..

  • Never heard of a sim card expansion in 12 years of mobile ownership..Do you mean memory card expansion..

  • i wanna buy a new one .......... hw is it ??????

  • thanks alot nick... so wats up wid the phone??? better than BB?

  • Setting -> Personal -> Profile -> Option -> Personalise

  • Hi. its about 48hrs that i bought this phone,Its a good one.but U wouldnt believe if i say i couldnt find the (adjusting sound,changing ringtones,vibrating off)option yet.pls help me HOW???????

  • Had this phone for a few months, it lags sometimes when opening applications (like the chat board for texts) and the screen is really fragile... it fell once and it cracked, sadly. I'd personally go for another phone. However, the overall features are interesting, so if you pay attention and protect your phone, it might be worth it

  • Yes, you can !

  • hey guys... can i type the message widout sliding out the keyboard and pressing the buttons??? can i jus type it widout opening??? pls help meeeeee!!!!!!! i wanna buy this phone is it better than BB 9700?????

  • I want to ask something.. Can we actually to add sim card expansion for Vivaz Pro? There was a lot sim card expansion sell by the retailer.. Mostly for Nokia user. I hope, Vivaz Pro can support that features.. Reply me, A.S.A.P

  • this one broh it looks nice and damn i want one too xD\

  • vivaz pro is somewhat new.it has hd video,720 mz processor,graphics support,smooth body finishing,pro is a better looking one too.

  • go get the vivaz pro

  • i think the se vivaz pro is a nice phone for its price and is value for money . its competeter the nokia c6 is not that good and vivaz pro has better processing speed.also the nokia c6 dosent have an apeeling look. so ma advice is the se vivaz pro!!!!!!:)

  • I have had vivaz pro but not c6,i will give my thoughts on vovaz pro.. I did a non-stop mp3 test and got 14 hrs which is not exactly good..The video recording i would give 9/10 i had some very good results but you have to remember to pan nicely this fone has contimuous a/f and can be bit temperamental ,,some say the audio iss quiet on video record but i found it very good.Ohotos about 7/10. Audio headfones is fairly loud but better when you download free equaliser good quality. You have to get rid of that overlay that s/e gives you its flash based and on top of symbian cripples the fone.Use just a standard theme. I like resistive touchscreen and stylus and found screen as good as they get .I got styluse from poundland pack 4 luminous ones. Typical symbian software if you know what your doing you be fine BUT i still install opera and use snaptu for quickness,YES these are Java based and vivaz is smartfone but unless you buy gravity tweets 60 is bit slow.. This is why i bought vivaz pro,its only option for hd video record with qwerty else its nokia e6 or s/e xperia pro im afraid. I love button fones or half buttons plus touch. The bootloader is locked and if it was open the ROM chefs copuld of got inside and tweaked the hell out of this beauty.

  • Hi, I had this phone for allmost a month, is really good , take me time to learn how to use, but now I am very happy with it, I change my T715 for the Vivaz Pro, The musis is not so loud but is ok, you will need speakers or headset .. but everything else is fine. I am happy with it.

  • I m really dissapointed with this fon... so many problems.... and error "emergancy call only"..

  • This phone should be great. But in the months that I've had it I've had to send it back three times for defects. It's a huge disappointment and inconvenience. If it were to work as advertised that it would be decent enough. The processor is too slow to even browse the internet properly

  • check out the videos,may be the videos are brocken.

  • it is not true man,i dnt hav a single hang at all.as long as it is a symbian we need to update the device properly.its camera is awesome,and hd video is great,qwerty is powerful,display and viewing angles are very gud.and dont install any harmful apps to it,all in all it is a powerful device.am happy to use this.

  • hey frnd,it has very low volume,but headphone is rocking.am using one wid out a single complaint.

  • phone is totaly ok,interesting,colorful,and it looks great.i have it few days and i am more than satisfied.i had nokias,samsungs,siemenses(earlier :) ) but newer sony ericsson,this is the only one that i found good looking and with ok specifications(sony ericsson phones generaly looks crapy and of all newer phones of other companies a lot have specifications that i dislike-i don't like android phones and touch screens,and i heard from a lot of people that windows phones are generaly slow and have bugs so this phone was logical choice and i didn't make mistake)

  • hi guys are you also having a problem with the keypad locking system.it always dials numbers in my pocket. AND is there a video/media player that can play movies on the phone and where can i download it from.

  • is the loudness of this phone is fare enough like any mobile or bad and low like vivaz ?? plz answer me TY

  • i wonder if vivaz pro " sound loudness " is good and not as weak as vivaz, isn't it ??

  • i want to download a simply softwear its talking tom plz tell me to how to download that softwear in this cell

  • can anyone suggest me should i buy this phone if not which one should i buy .i heard this hangs alot

  • plz can anyone advice me because i cant see the video that i record it says that i can't play sound and video and no mp4 or mpg or 3gp why ? i cant play this kind of video

  • dude use media function...

  • Does the Rogers/Fido Vivaz Pro come with Opera browser pre-loaded?

  • i have to switch it of almost 3 time a day cas it always stop i m in ksa i will never buy sony

  • i m sorry >>> but this mobile doesnot worth it> u can not go th the next song neither photo

  • does it have face pointing camera~what does it mean by video call with the main camera??

  • i wanted to ask the owners that now that they r using vivaz pro do they wish to had a smaller screen but had android instead of symbian? i mean sth like x10 mini pro : 2.55 inches but with capacitive touch and android.

  • This phone can play zynga games?

  • to:soloshee of course can...just install whatsapp in your hp...enjoy it ;-)

  • can vivaz use the WhatsAPP Messeger? thank you

  • dear rogido : tank u very much for answering my questions. so overall u r satisfied with ur vivaz pro and not having a capacitive touchscreen is not a big prblm. i was wondering if i can hav ur fb account or maybe email? this is my yahoo: [email protected] and fb: hossein zakeri. it looks like u can help me more.

  • In some way it seems more sensitive now than when I first bought it. Probably not because the screen itself improved, but because I learned how to use it better. For example, sometimes I find just touching it lightly result in a quicker response than if you pressed harder on it.

  • hello there. i was wondering that whether i can use facebook of vivaz pro in iran considering that its filtered here in our country and we have 2 use filter breaker or vpn 2 browse fb on pc? tnx.

  • had this phone for 6 months. sleek design easy to fit in pocket, not too bulky. since i heard symbian os is good if you just need a phone with few apps, i settled for vivaz than others with many apps i may not use anyway. downsides, bad loud speaker, better listen to music with earphones,facebook and other apps with small letter fonts which you cannot read without glasses,yes it takes long time to connect to facebook but fast with youtube. i am satisfied with the phone since i was looking for a cell phone, not a computer. that is all i need and what my work gives me time for. for other apps, i go to my laptop.

  • pliiiiiz help me!!!!

  • hey guys. i read some of the comments they were useful. but i have a question: i need a phone that can take qualitiy pix and vids, texting is so important 4 me and also i hav some java apps that i would want my phone 2 load them fast. so would u suggest vivaz pro? tnx in advance

  • tnx rogido. ive one more question if u don mind. is ur touchscreen as sebsiive as the first day u bought?

  • I've been using a Nokia 5800 with the resistive touchscreen. It's not the best, but I find it quite acceptable.

  • Resistive touch screens works like transparent buttons.u nyd to pres them hard.capacitive touch screens are advanced.they only nyd to touch.

  • i have heard that resistive touchscreens sucks is that correct about vivaz pro?

  • hey guys my phone was slow ones in my life,then i remove the harmful themes and apps if installed any.now not a single hang.and i updated once.fantastic phone.

  • I have bought vivaz pro just abt a week ago...tho its too late but the phone has got killer looks n the hd camera just adds to its value....not a must buy but u surely wouldn't regret buying it

  • i need help wich one should i buy ? Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro or HTC Wildfire PLZZZ HELP !!!

  • you should update the software first...then the phone is ok...

  • it's really amazing

  • Not at all good as i thought it to be.It hangs too much and becomes difficult to use. I wasted my money.

  • the speaker is not good you can't hear the tone if you have a call or messages this phone is slow ang the touch screen is not good

  • Ya. . Its good mobile but it hav less loudspeaker. .

  • how much price

  • the phone is really slow and full of apps that is of no use! The facebook app takes forever to load and takes so long to scroll down or look at photos, etc! Regret spending so much money on this phone!!

  • WHY MY VIVAS PRO HAVE A PROBLEM...ITS BECAME HANG SOMETIMES...i buy it on 14 may 2011... should i update the new software for this phones??or any other way to solve this problem??

  • phone is really good for the first few months, i have had to send mine back for repairs 3 times and i have had it since september! so many problems!

  • mobile9.com , best site for apps themes games and other stuff

  • not a good phone.

  • Got my SE Vivaz Pro (White) for Php19,000.00 here in Philippines last January and thought its kind of the best in line as its a bit expensive, but as time went by of using it, i was disappointed. Lots of problems are coming out, sometimes it hangs and the display won't rotate when i need so. It shifts the profile by itself even after locking the screen and the keypad, applications are not that good, speaker too has a low quality, the camera is also a not-so-so, sometimes it hardly get connection from a wifi unlike the Nokia e71 i had before, and the latest problem i got with it was that some letters on the left side most of the keyboard wont sometimes function and it disappoints me alot. Du to this im planning to shift to Blackberry Bold 9780 as i heard many good feedbacks on it compared to Torch 9800. Are there any pther phones of really good quality anyone here could suggest? Thanks!

  • www.mobile9.com www.zedgee.net ;) you can download any thing

  • can anyone tell me, i can use messenger in it or not?

  • Please tell me a site to download free apps and games...

  • hi, i don't know if you mean that literally that it is not a smart phone or by its performance but the vivaz pro is not a smart phone so people should not expect it to perform as one!

  • @peter pan blackberry messenger is only for blackberry phones not sony ericssons or nokias or htcs or iphones or anything except blackberries, hence the name.

  • i brought a vivaz good for video & camera affordable price qwerty smooth touch

  • i brought a vivaz good video quality HD good camera// affordable price suuper thanks to sony ericsson for gave me a good mobile

  • extra ordinary mobile i brought a vivaz pro godd mobile

  • hi ppl !! thinking to buy this mobile hw could u suggest me? any other mobile?

  • rightly said @thabani. your 4th and 5th points are very true. i bought this phone on june 2010. this phone has become a pain for me. due to slider, the flex got damaged. and flex is one of the important component of any slider phone. i submitted the phone to a service center. after 2 months, they told that they couldn't replace the component because of non-availability of this component. Vivaz Pro sucks. it's camera and video quality is awesome.

  • I've had this phone for two weeks and: 1. It scores very high on aesthetics 2. Excellent video quality 3. Terrible loudspeaker quality 4. Unlocks itself and makes calls sometimes 5. Clock falls behind by 3 minutes every 3 to 4 days Overall I'm not impressed

  • wooooow its very nice phone im using it web browsing fb etc lots of new features all cam and vdo very nice

  • best phone for web browsing and great video hd capturing upon all sony ericsson phones that i already used before.

  • better wait for xperia mini pro...

  • this phone sucks the most the camera resolution was poor the speaker wasn't loud i couldn't hear it ring it couldn't do it's first job (i couldn't call) don't buy it

  • yes,you can.

  • sony ericsson vivaz pro got 3g video call , touch screen and keypads too or not?

  • ya,it is nice to play facebook

  • high price

  • hi everyone, someone please help me, is this phone a good phone?is it worth buying?or i can find better ones?camera and OS are important for me.

  • I guys I wan buy 3g phone around Rs.8000 please tell me witch phone is best????????? Thanks

  • CAN YOU use MP3 files like songs for ring tones on this phone?And I mean any mp3 files ,any song

  • hi friends i am going to buy vivaz pro,will you suggest me that it is good or not

  • how much is this for in euros ? i checked a few websites and they said it was for 355 euros and here it says its for 160 euros so which is it ?

  • I love the Vivaz Pro, except for the numerous times it randomly calls people when holding it in my pocket :( This is the biggest negative point. One other thing is that it would have been better (in hindsight) for the screen to be on the inside and flip it open to make calls, to prevent scratches

  • why my phone vivaz pro suddenly become hot..and battery charge so fast finish..??

  • BBM is not on any other other phones except blackberry. It is announced that it is being developed for Android and IOS. Symbian is excluded. Bottomline, no BBM on this phone.

  • I have a Sony Ericsson Vivas pro and love it. I would like to know where and how to download and instal BBM on my Vivas Pro?

  • I have a Sony Ericsson Vivas pro and love it. I would like to know where and how to download and instal BBM on my Vivas Pro?

  • I need help. There is something wrong with my Vivaz Pro. There is a red light everytime and no matter how much I charge it, it would not switch on and when I take out the batteries and insert them back, the screen starts blinking with the start-up screen, then a blank screen then the start-up screen again. i really need help on this.

  • hi there.. vivaz pro does not run on android.. -.-

  • How do I make the Packet Data work onmy phone?

  • Amazing phone!

  • i have a vivaz pro and i honestly dont like it very much. The quality of the loudspeaker is terrible, the nokia symbian system doesnt provide much apps for the sony ericsson phone. The only thing is it truly solely good for is texting. But if you're an avid texter, you might as well get BBM. Overall i'd say this phone gets 4 out of 10.

  • Hi there, i think you had make a mistake, Vivaz pro is with Androide Os , yes or not ? you put that it's with Symbian 6 :)

  • how much does this cost? to those who had bought this on it's first launch.

  • so should i buy this phn or nt ....can anyone tell me coz i had plan buy this vivas pro soon...can see rom comment this phon not good to bought plz anyone can tell me soon...text...

  • Horrible phone. Looks great but lock function is very inconvenient. Time display is not terrible. Practically impossible to see screen when outside. The system it runs on is slow and lags a lot. I had it for 3 months (and usually I stick it out till the end of my phone contract) but I just had to get a different phone. I will miss the "Conversations" function though, where it lays out your text messages like an MSN conversation.

  • i have this phone for almost 5 months now and all i can say is that its not a smart phone!!! battery drains fast. hangs a lot slow program software BUT GOOD CAMERA/VIDEO CAMERA.

  • Wow so fantastic hahaha

  • Ya agreed, it always unlocks itself n makes accidental calls while in my jeans. Im forced to used the password in order to prevent it...

  • sony ericsson vivaz pro ..coz i usnig Nokia C6 now ...very sad

  • th eonly real problem is that it unlocks itself,but for the rest internet is fast easy to message and very good camera.I have had the vivaz for 6 months and I love it

  • This phone is awesome 6 months and the only problem is that on my pocket it unlocks itself but it has an awesome camera.Qwerty keyboard is really helpfull yser friendly

  • super

  • which one is better sony ericsson vivaz pro or nokia c6?why?(please be honest) thanks

  • i purchased V-pro 3 months back n its working OK. the phone looks nice but it wasn't user friendly first. You need to customize everything as you may get fed up keeping it default. with 5.1 Mp you can expect a good quality in vedio n pics. the keyboard comes handy too. you need to carefully press On/Off button as it is very small which is uncomfortable. i have used Nokia, Moto, Samsung but this is my 4th year with Sony Ericsson. Overall, do not hesitate to buy V-pro as it all depends on how you handle it. Cheers

  • thx bro.. I'll try

  • use the scurity code on u vivas seting. Ok be fun.

  • This cell for me is jst a waste of money it says it gives hd video but the video clarity is the same like 3mp cell ph and even the camera buttons on the side is good for short cut use but if we put in Damien it start there own i regret the day i got it i wasted my money tht all i can say and never want to buy any sony products again specially cell ph

  • I don,t like the my vivaz pro. automatically unlocks itself and starts calling people. Also when trying to take a picture or video the bluetooth menu keeps popping up, so it takes forever to snap a pic. Also not very user friendly. Wouldn't recomend it

  • in my phone it is not possible to unlock/delete/upgrade quick office. I bought the full version. Now i have it on the phone but I bought now Office Sute for a couple of Dollars, and now i can also edit documents.

  • phone is veryyyy easy to unlock. i put my phone in my jeans pocket and it just unlocks and it calls people randomly. the keyboard is great. pictures are good. texted is really easy. overall, its just the unlock button that bothers me.

  • 1.were to get quick office full fersion or anyting office mobile software n compateble for vivas pro to creat,edit,view word,exel doc. ( can i get free ) 2.can update software from phone not pc? if yes how? 3.thank you thx.

  • can somebody tell me... a video camera for this phone...is it in front (secondary camera)... or at the back (prime camera) really need to knw b4 i buy this phn... thx !!!!

  • I've had the vivaz since March 2010 and it was okay until it stopped charging in January 2011. I sent to the repairers and the charging problem was fixed and the software updated. However, since it's come back, it seems to have taken on a life of it's own! Icons are pressed without me selecting them, it doesn't respond when I select an item from the menu and will move to a different item and I can no longer turn it off as I spent 1 hour and 30 minutes trying to enter my pin number as It kept on choosing numbers I hadn't selected or delecting the ones I had. Frustrated

  • is it possible to upgrade the operating systems from Symbian to android. i would also like to state that the phone was designed for sony ericsson by nokia, that explains the bad picture quality, the battery life and the saving method. besides that the phone is on point. lock ur phone before putting it in ur pocket

  • Just got the phone and i dnt knw why pple are making negative comment abt the phone,the truth is all phones have there short comings,if u want the phone go get it as for me viva is da bomb.ola

  • I bought this mobile 5 months ago and I am not satisfied at all. It has good specifications, but the user experience is just awful. The call keys tend to get pressed when the phone is in the jeans pocket and the phone will just answer incoming phones even before vibration begins. The resistive touch screen responds slowly and is not accurate. It also gets "depressed" areas easily, even after a long phone call, these areas then make the phone impossible to use. Symbian is an obsolete operating system, with very few applications and too frequent crashes. The installed web browser is not good, and other browsers are too slow when installed to the system. Battery life is too short too.

  • honesty speaking, the loudspeaker is bad bt if u put earphone into it than the sound will be perfect, perfect as in nt se earphone is the other brands 3.5mm jack earphone.. camera for taking picture is not too bad and not too good average.. but for video recording is good! as for the EQ you have to download it.. if i don't remember wrongly i used to download it from play now store which is inside the menu.. hope this help you.. CHEERS! =)

  • use card reader.

  • finally got rid of my vivaz pro for a bb bold 9780. vivaz pro looks nice but it isn't very user-friendly, considering i text a lot. sliding the qwerty keyboard out is just too much of a hassle for me.

  • I only purchased the phone few days ago. On the second day, I experienced all the problems that you mentioned. I'm also not very satisfied with the camera as it's not as the picture that I took is not as sharp as I expected from SE phone.

  • is this a gud choice ?

  • Can someone please tell me how to transfer photos from my Sony Ericsson Vivaz to my computer

  • do you if the phone will act slow if i put in a 16gigg memory card

  • I'm planning to purchase this phone. But, theres many opinion bout the bad side of this phone. Hm..hm. is it really that bad? Sounds? Camera capture? will anyone helps with opinion? Tq..

  • very nice model excellent in Video streaming but poor sound but works perfectly.....

  • I do not know anything about this phone But you may have noticed in the specifications that it was good I want anyone who bought the mobile phone Tell me if that was good in terms of use so as not destroy Truly, without exaggeration I thank everyone for their cooperation with me.

  • Its model is good every thingzz okay but i want to know that is any problem of battery ?????

  • Poor in sound quality,no equalizer setting for bass efect especially when we use earphone but another is ok.

  • Overall - not a bad phone. Perhaps a little flimsy feeling compared to my Motorola KRZR K1 that I was using. A couple of irritations (unless it's settings I haven't found yet): 1) No audible reminders about having messages in your 'inbox' other than the initial one when the message comes in - no good if you were away from your phone at the time of message received. 2) No audible reminders that your battery is getting low - the phone just shuts down until you recharge it. I would like SE to add these two features (which I find very neccessary and seem to be on every other cell phone that I've ever used!) via a software upgrade to this phone and i very quick order. Nice phone otherwise but these two irritations almost make me want to send it back and just order a new battery for my old Motorola KRZR K1. Also, how do you activate speaker phone on this thing???

  • If you have it you should know,what a ridiculous question?

  • I got my vivaz pro four days ago and I cant keep my hands off it. Its realy a smart phone and its cute.

  • YES PPL BUY THIS PHONE i`m owner of Vivaz Pro few months and nothing like u saying abt the display is appear, btw that can happen if u pour your display with water or other liquid thing.. and don`t say bad thing abt the phone which u had damage it. And abt that poster with the charger.. why u writting here? if u "Really" having that problem go to your service and ask them, or go to sonyericcson com and writte on the official forum, here no one will resolve your whinning (if is true. Oh and btw one more thing I`M PROUD OWNER OF VIVAZ PRO REMEMBER THIS, and for the other ppl`s who is in dilema i will say ppl u decide i can say that this phone is amazing, but go to the mobile store and have a compare in real.. try it tested it and that Good Luck!

  • I just got this phone today, I wanted to know if there is any apps out there that uses text messages for msn? Also, how's the phone in general, and the function....?

  • it is not a great phone to buy...my models hangs like two to three times a day and now the screen is showing a display problem .... its just 1 month old phone..regretting my decision...

  • which should i get, the blackberry torch or the vivaz pro? reply ASAP!

  • is there any way to put plants vs zombies, angry birds, or other cool games in this phone?

  • hi guys Between the Vivaz Pro , HTC Wildfire and Blackberry 9300 which 1 is better and which should I go for?? please help!!

  • hi guys Between the Vivaz Pro , HTC Wildfire and Blackberry 9300 which 1 is better and which should I go for?? please help!!

  • Damn straight. Wish i got return stickers with it. 2 Months and the screen developed a bubble in the bottom middle of the screen so when i turned the phone on, the touch screen started pressing on whichever button was there. Ended up sending blank emails to about 20 people. Sent off for repair and now my 5yr old HTC Touch runs faster. Totally agree, NO ONE BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!

  • yupp that has been happening to me :( coz when u download some like from Zedge when u turn the phone on the side you see like a water mark at the top..guess some are not so compartible

  • Hey..when i first started using my Vivaz U8 my biggest problem was downloading a chat application i had almost given up only to realise that Nimbuzz is like the only one that works here!! ebuddy,Palringo all refused. All seem ok when using the internet its very fast buy yes the battery dies very fast. The only crappy thing is the music player arrgh and the earphones...not at all like my W595.One question..where do i check my battery life percentage??

  • the speaker is so so only.. if put on a headphone and listen to music it is v gd..

  • I would just like to know the fastest way how to put "ü" when typing sms using the keypad. Thanks

  • I own a Sony Ericsson vivaz and lately I am having problems with it. When I plugin the phone to charge it sometimes shows a red light and no matter how many hours I charge it the same thing happens. and when I try to switch on the phone it doesnt start.

  • dear: Roos i tnhink you should get the sony vivaz pro because i have one and it is perfect. This phone wont let you down. But you should buy this phone with a warentylane becuase the keyboard could breake easly and do not drop it or else your phone will get ruined.

  • X10 better b'coz x10 is android phone u can do it download More than one lakh apps..... So i think better....

  • please i want just to know about the speakers quality and it's maximum volume because i care for the music player so much and the loudness of the ringtone?????

  • Which one is better?? the SE VIVAZ pro or the SE xperia x10 mini pro?

  • is this really worth buying even at this point of time or do i have some other options with the same price tag???

  • I just got this Sony Ericsson ViVaz Pro.. So i don't know too much about it.. Just feeling my way threw it..Does Anyone know if it has any Clipart and how to Acess it.. Went back to the store they don't know..

  • Hey guys, got the phone a while ago,liking it,atleast everythin seems to be ok untill now, no major problms like the one's mentioned earlier. just 1 glitch, wen i download themes off the internet from these regular free download sites n transfer them onto the phone, i get a warning frm the phone wen i try installin them due to some certificate issue and the phone displays a risk msg if i decide to continu installing. Is there any legit site where i can get cool themes for FREE? regards

  • in my country nokia c6o1 is more expensive than se vivaz pro..

  • hello. i just bought this fone bout 4 days ago.. everythings was okay except batery life.. i have 2 charge it everydays.. theres opinions says turn of 3g then the fone stay much longer.. how to turn of the 3g.. anyone plis help me!! tq

  • turn off 3G

  • which is much better.. C6 of nokia or Sony Ericsson Vivaz?

  • Hey, regarding the always connected GPRS or 3G, do you by any chance have Whatsapp installed? I had the same problem when trying out whatsapp, it stays connected no matter what you do, you can manually kill the connection and about 2 seconds later it will reconnect. Solution, delete whatsapp, or any other app that may require permanent connectivity. Other than that, I think its an excellent phone for what i need.

  • I just bought one. I'm sending it back. Cheap and nasty build quality. The software makes the phone hard to navigate, crashes frequently, takes forever to reboot. The connectivity is horrible and makes life far more difficult than it need be. What should be possible over Bluetooth is not and requires switching to a USB cable AND manually switching connectivity modes on the phone. After 2 days of the phone crashing, drivers failing to install and general all round frustration I am changing it. Their support line is useless, the operative didn't even know how the phone works and wasn't prepared to find out. I will NEVER get a Sony again. The best thing about my phone delivery was it came with returns stickers so I can get rid of the damn thing. Horrible, nasty phone, don't get one, you have been warned!

  • the pro also has the slide out keyboard where the reg one does not

  • Bought this phone a week ago in RSA(ZA). Cons: Always connected to 3G/HSDPA even when all applications closed, which KILLS the battery (have to charge twice daily), lack of apps+games the size of the screen(play at half screen),GPS Reception only work well with google maps (i.e. No Voice guide) and lack of WOW factor. Pros: Video Recording, Picture quality, swf wallpaper+games, the standard theme, call logs include data connections.

  • The regular Vivaz has an 8 MP camera, but no keyboard, the Vivaz Pro has a full QWERTZ keyboard but "only" 5.1 MP. Both can record HD video, so I'd definately go for the Pro version. If you don't intend to print the photos in XXL (eg. on posters etc.), you'll find no difference between a 5MP and a 8MP shot (the MegaPixels only show the resolution, but have very little to do with the actual quality of the photos - a lot of other things are more relevant to picture quality. Just compare a picture taken on a cheap 2MP phone camera to one taken with a professional, designated photo camera at 2MP resolution, and you'll see there's a big difference).

  • touch screen mobiles r liquid display.....if usage is heavy then we can see liquid flowin in the screen....

  • Its hard to choose between Vivaz or vivaz pro.. Can anyone tell me which one is better?

  • They are quite the same only Vivaz Pro can record in HD. C6 battery lasts longer I think...

  • Yes it's true and confirmed it comes with 5MP camera :)

  • guyz i'm really confused between vivaz pro and c6 what should i buy plz tell me Thanks

  • wat software r eu talking about ? can list it out ? thx

  • I'm the anonymous from a few posts down. Turned off 3G (don't need it) battery lasts much longer now. Much happier with the phone now.

  • its that really comes with 5mp camera?

  • its that really 5mp camera or 3.2mp?

  • can anyone help me wif this?? why is it all the mms from others became small kb pics in vivaz pro??? i cant even zoom it.. help me!!

  • Hey Everyone having this phone for about 1.5 years and there is not even a single problem although very rarely it hangs if u use too much of the ram....And this phone is really amazing in multimedia although the music quality is not up to the standard like my w595....And this handset's picture quality,video clarity,web browsing experience,touch screen sensitiveness and the call quality is excellent man....Amazing and a must buy phone

  • Hi, the battery life of a U10 is only 24 hours or even less. i was wondering if the Vivaz has the same problem or what?

  • oh ya, the sound quality sucks

  • lousy phone. had sent it to service centre due to faulty speaker but the problem is arising again. battery life sucks big time. just imagine, hav to charge it everyday. the only thing good with tis phone is the camera. cant wait to dispose tis piece of crap and get other brands. will never ever get a SE again. very bad exp.

  • u ll fined 4 games @ least in ur phone. go to memory card --> installed files. and install the games and other applications

  • bought the phone yesterday (from UAE Dubai), >the phone came with no pre-installed games :( >also the resistive touch screen is not all that bad once ur hands on for a while. >camera_good, >battery life_good, >Sound clarity and volume_decent, >qwerty feel_decent, over all,looks good,feels good, now v see how long t lasts ;)

  • In a very cold weather S.E touchscreen is screaming! Take ur handset to S.C.they will fix it! But before buying any costly product consult with GSMARENA'S Reviewers. Dis handset will give you many problems after 1&1/2 year. -Thank You

  • Dis handset is good but no match for N97mini.It is device which can be use as a mobile computer!Anyone have any Idea what it means?So don't make opinion without knowing!

  • I Have Nokia N97 mini your phone's Connectivity is much less than mine. Next comes browsing..... well your phn have GPRS class 10. Mine supports 32. No comparison.lolz! Well in my country Nokia's price is much more less than Sony Ericsson Smart phones.

  • hi users, it has got RDS in FM... can anyone tell me about this RDS and its use..

  • Well I have had this phone for 4 months already and had very small issues, but all of them went off after updating the software, and to reply to Hussein, all of the apps mentioned are included already on it, but Nimbuzz, but it works perfectly. I have used nimbuzz since i got it and it works just smooth... also I downloaded the SPB Shell software and it ROCKS! I would like to have this phone running Android but for being a Symbian one, it really does what I want it to do... I really recommend to update the software of your phone to all Vivaz Pro owners, it really helps! Regards, Carlos

  • can u watch movie from this phone?

  • The problem isnt from the cold. Its probably because the the memory card was defected or something. Best option is to take it to your service center and ask them about it.

  • Ive come to the conclusion that all fones are rubbish.Ive had shed loads and its all the old ones are the best .All this touchscreen crap is just a hindrance to society.

  • how do i get the sequence mode while taking pictures?also is there some short cut to turn on/off the LED light?

  • well dude.. i`m using Vivaz Pro since december 2010.. until now i had trying a lot of applications... Nimbuzz works perfectly, facebook with chats. google maps have the same phone in the location menu,twitter yes( i don`t have twitter acc) but i saw that is works fine, and i have nimbuzz installed too it have messenger also, and youtube app. which comes with the phone also like google maps works pretty good, and for now i can access everywhere on the net without problems. The choice is yours have a good day :)

  • first time i took it out in the cold and it went off..now it doesnt want to turn on..only sometimes it turns on but in a couple minutes freezes than turns off again...whats wrong?

  • Also been having the same problem..any luck with solutions too date?

  • i've purchased my vivaz pro (AZERTY keyboard) sept 2010, 5 months later i have noticed that there's a lot of tiny white spots inside the lcd, it's not a dead pixel though, but it's annoying, do sony ericsson will replace or fix my lcd??? i'm working in saudi arabia.

  • I got it last wednesday and it is showing some sort of problems like its restarting afer i exit the web browser.

  • Had this phone for 3 days before giving it to my mother the internet connection drops out is using it as a modem the music player if you can call it that is stupidly designed. But I know I am being biased I love sonny Ericson handsets and this just isn�t one just. went back to my U10i that has never let me down and if I wanted a nokia I would have bought a nokia

  • Hi Gatspy, Can you tell me how to get ovi for this phone ?

  • Hey guys, can I load whats-app on this phone??????

  • Hi Guyss!! I just want to ask if it's recommended to buy this phone, because I'll change my mobile soon (I got Nokia e66) I thought of getting a Sony Ericsson phone, because the Nokia's OS are all the same. And i'm really bored of this system in my Nokia e66. I'm thinking about the Nokia x5, but isn't the OS the same? So far, Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro seems great for me. I Want to use the following App: - Nimbuzz - Skype - Google Maps - Facebook - Twitter - Messenger / eBuddy - Youtube And access to all the webs.

  • hi everybody I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, it has good performance, I also installed Ovi Maps on it /

  • advice to everybody if wanna buy this phone better buy c6-01 way more better than this with same price

  • hello users! please comment on the browsing and gaming experience with the resistive touchscreen. Is it responsive enough?

  • battery life ... would have to say that at least I charge the phone every day that I use all day (send lots of messages, about 2 hrs of music listening on my way to work, about 2 hrs nights talking and stuff like youtube) and with respect to software problems .. no problem for now. what I recommend is that you turn off the 3G if you do not need it ... your battery will last a lot longer. you can also change the font (I have the comic sans) is a matter of searching on google and read many many forums.

  • thank you! one last thing, how's the battery life? with moderate use? and are there any other problems in the software?

  • all my apps/games are free but sometimes you must google for serials its easy... I recommend you slideunlock, jbtaskman (task manager very important), spb mobilshell (its good if you are bored for se style but i like it because its different to all symbians)... Mmm... Nimbuzz for chat. Opera mobil for nav... Equalizer you must download this... A lot of people post of vivaz pro sound is to low, actually its not loudness as another se phones but like i said... Its ok for me.

  • really? the applications worked for your phone? where did you get them and are they free? please reply. thank you! :D

  • ohh. so maybe my friend is just unlucky. cos he told me his vivaz pro only vibrate sometimes. but are there any other problems with the fone? are the apps from the websites you suggested really free? Thanks for the reply! :D

  • hi... my vivaz pro its ok i had not problem with the vibrate alert for sms or calls. apps/games ---------------- thephoneclub universosymbian (if you read spanish) just google apps for s60 v5 remember sign apps/games (signsis, extsis) themes --------- zedge

  • Hi! I've been wanting to buy this since last month but I heard that it has problem with vibrate alert when receiving sms. Is it true? Also, do you know where to download free apps for this fone? Thanks so much! :D

  • is it a gud choice?

  • Also if anyone could tell me how much it is for now. Thank you

  • Can we install Yahoo or MSN messenger on the phone?

  • i bought this phone in last december.... and i love it... the camera and video is enough for me... the led flash is not powerfull as k850 xenon flash but is very good. actually it can not be hacked but you can sign a lot of apps and games... i have installed slideunlock, nfshp hd, sims 3 hd, prince of persia hd, spb, nimbuzz, equalizer and a lot of stuff... the 80% applications are supported.... i can confirm that just sing the app/game whit your cer and key.... ... sorry for my english xd

  • yes it can! with its back camera as it has not a second! this is said at specifications at camera features and also i know from my experience :)

  • It's ericsson & nokia NOT SONY,Sony Ericsson is the best,I hate all NOKIA pones,they are much bigger,their menu is crap-Symbian pfffff,only S.E. & ANDROID

  • Missing features that were present in the good old K510: adding a birthday to contact and calendar at the same time, task - reminder to call contact with direct dial of the number, no notes shown in standby. Don't change your old SE for this Nokia (software) crap! Whatever's good in this phone (if any) is from Ericsson era. Sony & Nokia just make it bad. Very bad.

  • o, i forgot to mention this, to all the ppl who complain about how they dont know how to do this or that with their phones, R,T,F,M. read the f.....g MANUAL

  • I am also a big SE fan, had 4 models so far, they out everything all the other phones, they can even swim and survive as my se c905 did, and it still works, maybe i have a bad omen with nokia, but they tend to get lost in veldfire's or get run over by tractors, so ill stick to SONY ERICSSON, the other thing, you will never get a phone that will satisfy all your phone needs, you need to compromise somewhere, if you need strong, fast processor, be prepared to lose some other functions, my advise, choose a phone that will fit your needs, and make peace with the slower proc. or camera

  • Try logging in using the wrong password. Once it prompts you, try again using the correct password. If it still doesn't work. Just download and use Snaptu...

  • Dude, this phone doesn't have a front camera!

  • Ya the Garmin Mobile works well for me...

  • It should be 00000 or 12345

  • it only comes with 2 gig sd card

  • dude.. i really don`t know wt to say anymore... how can be for me to work every applications which i have installed it... i dunno wt to say else. I installed equalizer, nimbuzz skype msn facebook etc. games( abt 50 games) and everything work excellent.. i dunno wt to say.. and my phone is not hacked.. is old 1 month and like i say every applications is work amazing

  • Ppl r here saying that vivaz pro can b hacked to play games and softwares! But none can say how! Actually it can not be hacked! Simply it can not support third party softwares and games! If yes then dare to post it! I am using it for 3months 90% applications are not supported! Come on guys can u answer me?

  • cannot because this phone does not have secondry camera

  • the phone is good,well designed bt if only it had a 8MP camera it would be much better.

  • hi there! im also a vivaz pro user.. my problem is cant set the lock code of my fone they looking for another lock code.. and also i cant browse in the internet by using this fone :( i dont know wats the problem.. I bought this fone at saudi

  • Ok!But how can I hack my phone to play games?

  • if u r sad.. sell it, what are u waiting for... abt the games.. u need to hack the phone to can play every game for symbian.. abt the OS.. don`t be funny.. is the same os symbian

  • "U can do lot of more thing with N97 mini!" what is that.. u can fly with your phone??? Well my girlfriend have N97 not mini.. and i`m not impressed like u are saying soo much good words abt that phone... and i`m confused why Nokia selled that both phones soo expensive with over 550$ in my country when they both have weak processor and not very well mb ram, compared with the phones in that prize range like Xperia X10 with 1ghz processor. I can`t say that the n97 mini and n97 is a bad phones.. but i don`t think the same like you bcs like i say my gf have N97. And i really hates the battery life in N97, for the apps.. abt vivaz pro.. i`m still testting it.. and for now every applications is running good and without lag.

  • Yes!He is telling the truth Vivaz pro does not have a good os.It didn't support much software and games!I am using it for 3 months and I am very sad!

  • Hmm... understand that u r a big fan of Sony ericsson.But U missed one point.What about the third party software support!And for ur kind information I am using the both devices,N97 mini and vivaz pro! Guys I am not a frustuated one who gives u negative comments and the website I give is only shows the original specifications!Not saying something without points!

  • Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss it can, i have tested it with my K850i and this one.. the problem is the vivaz pro doesn`t have 2nd camera for video call.. u need to use the primary camera..

  • yeah sure.. that is like to be fan for Mancherster UTD. and Arsenal (Very Rare)in same time... "well man utd. have more trophies.. but hey Arsenal have more good wins ratio... but well overall man utd. is my vote" Don`t be crazy dude... How can n97 mini to be more good than vivaz pro, when the n97 mini have half weak processor speed (434 mhz) and half down ram(128mb)? and for that web-site i will found a hundreds web-sites which it will show up a different results... And when i buyed the vivaz pro before 1 month in my country is costs 380$, and n97 mini 550$ wth? why i should to buy more expensive phone only bcs the pictures is more great.. big deal,and the most important the processor speed and the ram is more weaker... let`s say.. u go to the auto-saloon to buy a brand new car... wt u will buy the car which have 300 HP or some other brand new car with 150 HP and this car is costs a lot more? As for the picture, my old (2.5 years) K850i will beat n97 mini.. especially in darkness. As for me.. when i wanted to buy new phone i don`t look at the camera specs.. i wanted good processor and good ram for not too much money. And if u do mistake buying the n97 mini.. and then realize that u do mistake, sorry is not my problem that. U never had this phone and stop writting false comments only reading some web-sites. My vote and next votes will goes for Sony Ericsson i`m fan.. but i`m not like u and someone else here who writte negative comments.. and stop be jealous on Sony Ericsson. Have a nice day!

  • Hi guys I am Sony ericsson and Nokia Fan!(Very Rare) But if you guys are comparing N97 mini with Vivaz pro then My vote is for N97 mini!Because Vivaz have a better video quality but not a good image quality as N97 mini!And for the slow and hangs it a completely fake comment,N97 mini can be used as a Mobile Computer,So,If u know how to handle it,it won't gonna hang ever!The vivaz does support third party apps that much(Actually not near to N97 mini)as N97 mini does!U can do lot of more thing with N97 mini!But Vivaz looks better(New age).Web page browsing and downloading is much better in N97 mini!But Vivaz got a better battery back up!but n97 mini have a average(Ok)battery back up!N97 mini also have nokia live widget by which your work on mobile will go more wider!You can find more details why N97 mini is ahead just follow dis link-http://www.phonegg.com/compare/26/Nokia-N97­-mini-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Vivaz-pro.html Sony ericsson is good company I love them but they didn't able to make a phone which can be used as a mobile computer!!!!!!

  • Nice phone but OS is not good

  • nooooooooooooo

  • I have always wanted Sony to get out of this partnership with Ericsson. It's not working out at all... Ericsson does nothing but complicate the things for Sony. Due to SE being a joint venture, Sony's communication with SE is almost null. Sony hardly gives permission to use their technology in SE phones. Morover the headquarters, research facilities, manufacturing units, management of sony & se r located at diff. places making their communication with each other almost impossible. Even the engineers in SE r not the ones which work for Sony. SE is working as a completely separate entity & getting nothing from sony. If the mobile department had been 100% sony's part situated at their headquarters in Tokyo than sony's mobile phones would have been the top selling devices in the market due to latest tech implementations from sony & sony would have put much more money into it's mobile division without fearing abt any kind of loss.

  • is this phone can make video call ?

  • yey tnx very much pal for that secret 'trick'.. i was trying anything on the keyboard lol but without success :)

  • Had this fone twice but nobody can hack it.It must have a locked bootloader..Its a shame cause this fone has a potent proccessor Graphics co-proccessor combination.It HAS not got the n97 problems with RAM and c-space.

  • Lock code for symbian is 12345.

  • try this: When you are on your homescreen, the keyboard is unlocked, press the red button, green, red, red, green, red... And a menu should appear... There you have an option to reset your phone. (red=end call key; green=answer key)

  • Hi, we are looking to buy the phone and were wondering how strong the body work and screen (etc) are? Thank you

  • does anybody know about reset code? i want to reset my vivaz pro. i used *#7370# and it ask lock code.

  • i lk'd de phone it nice to use.... and i love the clearity of the phone. the shape/the way it slides.. love it...

  • true

  • hey guys, i have been using htc viva, samsung omnia etc. But they all started to hang after 1 months of usage.. But this vivaz pro is being use for 3 monts and it didn hang yet... It also has got a incredeble 256MB RAM which they have not mentioned in the specs. The combo of 256MB RAM and 720Mhz processor provides awesome performance!!! Only thing i felt lagging is its internal memory of 70MB but it doesn cme to mind coz of the 8GB memory card which they gave along.. also, this phone has got the lightest weight in the slide out keyboard category. M luvin it... :)

  • It doesn't have auto flash :( you have to activate and dezactivate yourself...

  • this phone doesnt have a flash when taking pictures, it only has a light and thats it so the picture quality isn't as good as a camera with a flash.

  • Hi, I am so interested in this vivaz pro phone so much as a design. i only wanna make sure that i can make calls via Skype when there's a wifi available and if msn messenger is also downloadable on it???

  • does it have auto flash? (camera) I heard you should turn the falsh on or off by yourself, is it true?

  • how do you get the Quickoffice working cause on my phone its saying purchase and i go to purchase its not clear, please email me the answer @dktshepo @gmail.com

  • everything can be hacked :D well my phone is still not hacked.. bcs i don`t have problems until now with installing applications... i still don`t know how to hack this one.. if i discover in meantime i will writte here :)

  • well abt the Nokia maps.. i don`t have still tested it, and for garmin.. my friend have installed and it works fine. I`m a SE fan.. but i will not say buy this phone, or Nokia sucks bla bla bla... i`m not negative like someones here who is.. i will give u the link for this 2 phones with a compare and u decide on yourself. and there is 2 different C6 and C6-01.. i compare it with C6-01 bcs is more new phone.. soo good luck with your choice ;)http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=­3075&idPhone2=3524

  • HI Have you tested Garmin or Nokia maps on this phone? I'm intrested in this phone but the GPS and its Wisepilot is trial!!! just this is the problem. I don't know to choose this one or C6 ?

  • The Price in Dubai is 1549 in Axiom

  • Hi i have updated my phone and it works great now, however some of the applications which were installed on my phone have disappeared like rally master and quadrapop, and when I've tried to reinstall them from the memory card i got a "could not install " message. so what can i do to make these two applications work again.

  • can vivaz pro be hacked? i'm having a hard time installing symbian apps because my vivaz pro isn't hacked. TIA :)

  • i`m curuious why someone who didn`t have this phone comment everything... first of all the phone not have 70MB RAM.. have 70 mb internal memory for me is far enough.. why? bcs more internal memory, more the slowest phone u will get, and btw there is 8gb memory card included is not enough?? 2nd u say applicaton "u cannot test many applications".. what applications u installed for android? i have a tons of symbian applications installed and works amazing everything, as for nokia c6 is almost the same phone.. bcs is based on the same symbian os.. soo u not have this phone that is clear like a sunny day. Xperia X10 is more good.. but the X10 in my country is 220$ more expensive than Vivaz Pro... soo overall i like this phone and i`m having it 1month and the touch screen works fast.. bcs u was saying smt is slow.. of course if u hit with the fingers everytime when u want to open smt. And for thos who are in dilemma to buy it or not.. have a look here: sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overv­iew/vivazpro?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview

  • Buy the SE Xperia X10

  • The fone s cool in looks.. as i couldn get a 3g connection till now, am unable to test all features.. Ya, it doesnt have front vga cam for video calling. The picture/video are pretty gud for 5MP. Sometimes touch response s slow, as it has jus 70MB RAM. U cannot test many applications as it is symbian. For 20K, in december 2010, I dont really feel its worth the money. Jus go for htc or Xperia, if u r ready to invest more, where u will hav the real smart fone experience. Else stay with phones like C6, which is jus 14K or so, having more or less the same features like vivaz pro and also has a front cam for video calling..

  • Should I get the SE Vivaz pro? Has any owner of this phone experienced technical problems with it? I currently have the W995 but i think its time for a change! Does anyone know its present price in Dubai,UAE or Jeddah,SA? Thank u so much

  • You love SE phones? then go with Xperia X10

  • I have a vivaz pro. I bought it las Dec 2010. It is a good phone. I have just updated my phone yesterday. No problem came up. But if you are a mobile phone Geek, I suggest buy Android phones...

  • Hi Does anyone have hands on experience with the Vivaz. Is this a good buy. I love this phone, always been an Ericsson fan and never had problems with my previous one. Would this be a good option. Please advise. Thanks Blackfoot

  • let me know kindly Face book,yahoo msgr service is compatible in this cell? Any demerits you findin this cell.Kindly users replay: [email protected] thanking you in anticipation, Sibi

  • yes

  • hello everybody is the Garmin software tested in Vivaz Pro? does it have the navigation? can I use it without internet?

  • You know what ...? That's the reason why I am afraid to update my phone myself ... I'm afraid the problem that I'm gonna face the same problem with your friend had ... It's not difficult to update, but it'll be difficult when we get the problems after update the phone ... Which is sucks ... Try to ask someone who pro about updating the phone or go to SE Center (that's better) ..

  • Which is better: THIS or Samsung Galaxy (i5510) 551? I'm really very confused about which phone to buy. Both have their own pros and cons. So far the feature that I've been considering mainly is that .Samsung has Android OS while Sony has Symbian. I've heard that Android is better that's why I want to give it a try. .For the design, I think the Sony is better since the galaxy 551 looks like a typical samsung phone when the keyboard is hidden. .for the camera, the 5-megapixel of SE obviously beats 3-megapixel of samsung. Sony also has better resolution. .With regards to usage, Samsung has a better touch screen response because it is already capacitive. .The sony also has a better screen resolution. .However, sony doesn't support Divx player and doesn't have the Adobe Flash Player that Samsung has. .And now, the last factor I'm considering is the durability of the phones. Everyone's saying that Sony is much more durable. But is it really true? With all these features, can you guys help me decide? Has everything I said correct? Please help me decide. Especially the owners of these phones.

  • i want to purchase this mobile but when i went to some mobile store they told me due to some techinacal problem, company close to manufacture this mobile,it this currect? some store told me the prise is Rs19500 to Rs20800. So what is the actual price. Thanka Ashish [email protected]

  • internet speed is not worther!!!!apart from that it dosent sound like conventional sony handset!!!!!!!!

  • Hi! I have had this phone for quite some time now and I've only tried the video call feature once. Firstly, unfortunately, there is no front facing camera. What you see in front of you is a light sensor. However, you are still able to use video call, although there is a twist. As what it states in the sony ericsson website, when using viedo calling, you use the main camera. This is the camera you use when taking pictures and videos.

  • Hello All..., This phone has video calling option but in sony ericsson web site it says video calling option can be done use only by main camera , Wat does that means ???? i want to know wheather we can use front camera for video calling (3g calling). and also i want to know how does this phone works in youtube sites... in my nokia E72 youtube sites never buffer using WIFI, i am planning to buy this mobile soon , so kindly send ur answers ASAP Thanks in Advance

  • u have very bad english :P but yes your battery is bad.. mine runs perfectly fine :)

  • Sony Ericsson, at this price range we at-least except that you must give a secondary cam.

  • @ maria ...................... This problem occurs when u save the person name twice else make sure u save the number like +919840012345 ,that means with +91 and mobile number because in sony ericsson phone shows only +919840012345 it wont show the name wheb u save only the number , just try it

  • Flash your symbian phone with Phoenix. Here is Compleate Tutorial:

  • hi maybe u have saved the name of ur friend twice or more i had that problem

  • -Batteries are great... should last roughly a week with moderate usage. -Camera is crisp clear. I was really expressed, but it ain't a real camera so don't compare it to the real thing. -Keyboard is comfortable. The rubber feels great XD The screen takes a few days to get used to it. Now it's perfectly responding to my fingers lol -The mp3 player is alright... The 3.5mm jack is on the side, so it's a bit troublesome and the music lags sometimes... -Browsing is decent. Not the best, but it's still fast :) -The power/lock button is troublesome to press. The back cover is difficult to remove. The SD card IS in the back cover >____> -USB connection works like a charm at least lol -The screen is bright and clear. However, you might experience some weird colors/misplaced things when you switch your phone from landscape to vertical view. (the transaction is not smooth, but once the transaction is over, it's running fine). -Messaging and calling works great with this phone... nothing to worry about the phone aspect of this baby. -Design is beautiful (though unoriginal lol). I apologize for the unorganized review, but I hope it helps xP

  • Hi!! i suggest u vivaz pro. i dun knw bt its really effective. the design n all da fuctions is too cool yo!!

  • Hello guys, Actually i am just facing the problem with audio and video. There is something happened like at some point the video stop for a second and in audio too. And also i won't find the equalizer for the music player.

  • hey i bought vivaz pro on this x-mas.... excellent mobile with excellent features, comes with 8gb memory card. camera is very nice video quality is amazing.

  • Does anybody have issues with the phone not detecting the SIM card frequently?

  • yup,me too..mine vivaz oso is same..i had changed one more memory card again..but after changed now is settle the problem ady...

  • try download facebook appication then install it... then u cn use ur fb then

  • hey there, ive just bought a vivaz pro and im having problems with the memory card: from time to time, the phone cannot detect my memory card. i have to switch the phone off to make the phone detect it again. has anyone got this problem too :(. please help me. :S

  • Ya I wish they had flash function too. Yup it's great that the phone comes with free SPB Mobile shell. Try login using the wrong password n try login again using d correct password after it prompts you. It worked for me n many others. Or use Snaptu instead :)

  • i wonder how to know how fast is the web browsing by looking at the specification

  • go for vivaz pro if you love to surf alot...u need the qwert key...but if more into taking picture, i suggest u choose vivaz...it has 8mp compare 5mp for vivaz pro...mine was vivaz pro..hope can help u..

  • just bought my vivaz pro yesterday.....love it...even the camera only 5mp compared to 8mp vivaz..but it qwerty key such a huge advantages for who love to surf online like me...

  • how yo cut copy paste in web site

  • Yeah, I'm actually wondering about the same thing. I guess it makes sense since the camera's got autofocus.. So a continuous light would make more sense than a simple flash for capturing images in low light.. however, my gripe is on the fact that there's no way of setting the flash to auto.. So you have to turn it on or off yourself.. one thing that makes me love this phone more is the fact that it came with a free copy of SPB Mobile Shell (i think it's exclusive to Asia-Pac region for now), which makes using this phone easier and a lot more fun.. but, yeah, the facebook client doesn't work for me..

  • Hi, I want to ask if I can use the camera light as a flash function and how do I do it? Currently in the Settings you can only turn the light on continuously and it's also the same for video. Thanks

  • Hi! I'm planning to buy a slide phone which has a qwerty keyboard. My options so far are nokia c6, SE xperia x10 mini pro, and the SE vivaz pro. In a phone, I look for something that's user-friendly, has a decent battery life (lasts 2-3 days with moderate use), decent sound quality, good camera, durable, handy, nice design, doesn't hang or crash, and a good internet browsing experience. I heard that the x10 mini pro is Android while the other 2 are symbian. but how different is it really?or symbian is actually ok? also, the x10 mini pro has capacitive touchscreen, but the other two have resistive touch screen. Is is really a major difference or the resistive touchscreen is decent enough? Please help me choose the best phone among the 3 choices. Thank you so much! :D

  • it this phone cn mke videocall?

  • i just bought it today.. for the music well is not very loud.. that is bcs of the slim design and the full qwerty keyboard (just read abt this on this web-site) abt the slow loading is not true.. i tested everything on this phone.. and is working very good, i really recommended to thos ppl`s who is in dilemma.. i was in dilemma before abt this and Satio.. but i choose this one and i like it a lot :)

  • The sound on this phone is not good and Sony makes phones that have a good sound. the other thing is that it is slow when loading,I cant seem to register on Twitter my emails are not working either.

  • guyz Which better vivaz-pro or i-phone 3GS ??? Cause I want to mobile phone these dayz

  • lol dude of course yes.. even K500i which is old 6-7 yrs can install skype :D

  • can i use skype using this?

  • The main limitaion is that we cannot make net call..evn from gtalk, nimbuz, yahoo messenger..etc..

  • I ordered mine yesturday! coming friday or saturday

  • battery performance is almost the same , no difference I could say but you got to beware of the faulty ones, there's a lot users out there having faulty ones and you should ask for an exchange if you had one =)

  • n900 or vivaz pro?? im torn between the two..

  • My experience with the vivaz pro is mixed.It was the perfect phone for me providing me with a slide out keyboard and touch screen. Media player was really good. Speakers are AVERAGE. not the best. however, downfall is lack of updates. Facebook app doesn`t work for many users. And the Wi-Fi doesn`t work with MANY users as well. I have done research and it seems other people have had the same problems as I. The phnoe however is REALLY good. But just a few problems that I wish Sony would take care of. Why sell phones with non-working wi-fi! To be honest, its a great phone but just a few flaws which could be fixed with a simple update! This is an honest review for those concerned. I`ve had this phone for 3months now.

  • Vivaz is not a smart phone the Blackberry is. Vivaz offers a lot without the carriers data plan rates With the Blackberry (and any smartphone) you have to take the carriers data package.

  • i've already ordered it ke mna its arriving this friday

  • its time for me to upgrade... I can choose betweet the SE vivaz pro or the Blackberry 8520... Need some help on deciding - I Love SE but everyones raging about a BB? Please assist.

  • hey guys, i'm choosing between vivaz and vivaz pro. i'm about to buy this week, but i still can't decide which one.can somebody help me please.:( which battery lasts longer?

  • Hello everyone! I have purchased this mobile a week ago and I have written about my personal experience on my blog at the following address : Take care!

  • Vivaz has 8.1 MP...Vivaz Pro only has 5mp

  • I am going to buy Vivaz ro on the 23rd but Im still having doubts since it is running on Symbian OS...what's so different between Symbian and Android OS? Can I download google talk and skype on Vivaz Pro?

  • should i buy this or x2?? i really love the x2 design the problem is the outdated os system. I like vivaz design too but hmmm... there's something missing~~

  • can i disable the continuous auto focus of the video?

  • I think the phone speeds up on decreasing the brightness of the screen.I tried it from the settings and found that the interface speeds up considerably -almost as good as my k790 (thats a really good phone....I alternate it with my new Vivaz Pro because of Battery Issues) Anybody who faces similar battery issues..please help me with suggestions.

  • yes it is free and open

  • You can download map using wiseplot application and can use it in offline mode.

  • u try download fb appication n install it....

  • Need help with the Battery life of Vivaz Pro...the phone doesnt last even a day with a regular charge.Bought a spare battery with a charger but it doesnt seem to prolong the battery life.

  • I love this phone im going to buy this phone this month... i really luv this... I wanted a touchscreen and qwerty phone... the options were Xperia X10 mini pro BlackBerry torch Xperia X1 X2 etc but i dindnt wanted a windows mobile cuz its complicated and I want a mobile for fun and entertainment... this phone is fresh as well as recognized world wide... nw its finally decided Im buying this... :D SE ROX... :P

  • Get an Android phone. Symbian sucks.

  • Your welcome Zar :)

  • thanks for your help ! i've finally resolved my facebook login problem =) cheers !

  • HK I am glad that you liked Snaptu, and THAANKKSS!!! for the Fbook app solution!!! I just fixed it using the wrong password and it works, YOU RULE!!! As you said... now we have 2 nice apps for Fbook! I like them both... hey where can I download really nice apps? i have used mobile9, getjar... etc... but I can only get cheap-non useful apps.. any place with the best apps??? thanks!

  • Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro & Satio & X10, which one nice to use? I don't know which one is better, please advise, thanks a lot...!!! ^^

  • Thank you very much. I got my questions here all answered. =)

  • how to unlock or lock the phone then?

  • am about to buy a vivaz pro,wat do u think? shud i?

  • no

  • good good , good luck with that ! I'm still trying to solve mine too .. it takes time =(

  • yeah

  • My battery barely lasts a day! So it could be due to a faulty battery which was supplied to me huh. I'm going to a authorized SE centre to get my battery checked and hopefully replaced ;p

  • Yeah I downloaded Snaptu using Play Now n it works great. But the good news is I managed to solve my Facebook app problem. I was advised on SE's FB discussion board to try and login using the wrong password. Once it promps you, try login again using the correct password this time around. It really worked!!! Now I have 2 apps for FB :)

  • Sorry to inform you but Vivaz Pro is kinda low in terms of sound quality (ringtones) compared to other phones. But it is decent enough. Apps are running ok for me so far. Maybe your phone memory is full, try to create some space. Just a thought n hope it helps :)

  • I would suggest you go for the latest model, Vivaz Pro. It's 5 MP camera is good enough and it has HD video.

  • Yes you can install apps in your memory card :)

  • Can I download applications into the sd card?Please help me if you dont mind.

  • Hey, i am in between buying Sony ericsson AINO and the Vivaz Pro. which is better? i loooorv the slide effect in the vivaz but it has a cam of 5mp bt whats the better phone? and i herd that the Aino has sm software difficulties? is tt true? thanks. :)

  • @Yuanny if you use the the gps that showing where you are(wisepilot) it will charge you ,downloading new maps or roads also charge you but if you use it offline then its free. I suggest you to download garmin gps dont use the wisepilot but it has free trial for 30days.

  • Is the GPS free to use or charged differently? I heard that Nokia N97 mini GPS is free.

  • Has anyone got the light to go like a torch.. I am deciding between nokia c6,c6-01,c7,and vivaz pro but vivaz pro is in the lead..I am thinking of using snaptu for twitter..??

  • Has anyone got the light to go like a torch.. I am deciding between nokia c6,c6-01,c7,and vivaz pro but vivaz pro is in the lead..I am thinking of using snaptu for twitter..??

  • Thanks for that i understand what you mean.At least i can just pull out of pocket and slide open and its ready for use..

  • if you slide the phone i will unlock the screen but not locking if u slide it back

  • Does the vivaz pro have a little slidey lock switch on side of phone..I mean its like a quick slide of a switch quickly locks screen then another quick switch unlocks screen..Its a fantastic simple idea so you can quickly lock screen and put it in your pocket.. Has anyone ever fone another mp3 player for symbian? I used power mp3 on my n73 but with this been S/E i am unsure.. I need buttons qwerty because i caannot use full touchscreen it irritates me and creates stress.. Thank you Kieron in uk..

  • i just wanna know if i can use it or not you sure i can keep apps in sd card same goes to the music,movie,games and pictures?pls help @expert pro thank you

  • Why would u wanna use a 2gb or 4gb if it comes with an 8gb card lol?

  • still can't uninstall my friend, they don't allowed it. any other methods?

  • My vivaz pro will not let me call anyone and whenever I try it says not allowed

  • @Expert pro thanks alot dude,im gonna ask one more question ,can i use 2gb or 4gb sd card instead of 8gb sd card?

  • This will be my last question here: Is the GPS free to use or charged differently? I heard that Nokia N97 mini GPS is free.

  • Thank you very much. =)

  • Go to settings-application manager-facebook and uninstall it from there

  • Yes it usaully comes with and 8GB sd card so its alota space u can either save apps to the phone or sd card

  • Vivaz pro purely coz its more stable as well as faster than the satio my friend has the satio and its always giving him problems

  • this phone has 75mb memory can i keep the apps in sd card ,use it directly?how many apps can i keep in this phone anybody please help me out?

  • hi i am trying to decied on the wave or vivaz pro as well what do u think what did u choose ( IAM 12 )

  • ummmm im trying to decied wht to get the vivaz pro or the samsung wave 8500i am 12 this is my first phonebut im great with all phones wha should i choose?

  • theoretically , the battery last 3-4 days for normal usages but in usages like texting the whole day and watching few hours of movies, battery lasts a day or 2. but unfortunately MOST of the users will get faulty battery that last a day or 2 at most (mine was). so you should try dealing with your dealer about this battery problem if you have a low battery lifespan

  • How do I uninstall the Facebook app whch comes with the phone? Everytime I tried, it says "Cannot Uninstall". What do I do? I want to install other third party Facebook app. Please help. Thanks

  • its very very good. even better than vivaz, because there is no keyboard in vivaz. i know that the camera is 5 megapixel, but it is not a problem because the pictures are almost the same quality.

  • I am not any of those phones' user but my friends are. They told me it's better to buy N97 mini instead of C6 because the only diff is the design and the camera speed. N97 mini is better for that... just suggestion. Hope you don't mind. =)

  • Umm... Since you are a Vivaz pro user, I can trust on your opinion. How long can the battery last and how long do i need to charge it? Or any other user can help me with that question? Thank you.

  • whats better satio or vivaz? touch: satio is much better than vivaz pro but vivaz pro have querty keyboared camera: *on photo: satio is much better *on video : vivaz is much better video is hd finally i advise u to look at nokia c7 same price range and wondeful mobile amoled screen , touch is great big screen 3.5"(same size as satio but amoled screen is better than tft) c7 its touch is very smooth like iphone its my opinion

  • Oh dear... I am so sorry, hope you don't feel too sad for it. D: I am still debating between vivaz pro and N97 mini. I think this two is pretty decent but no one comment on vivaz pro's battery life yet. Anyway, thanks for your comment for it. =)

I have a question too, how can I make my phone play MPG videos??? I downloaded DivX and doesn't work, can anybody recommend a very nice video player for this phone? and also a browser that supports flash? Skyfire is not available for symbian anymore... Thanks!

  • brilliant phone! love it

  • how good is the wisepilot?

  • Here is web site which has many softwares, games and themes for all kind of the phones But you need to register.

  • Battery or phone is defective. If you are still under warranty, which you should be, return it for replacement. There's no problem with charging it for 16 hours. Its a smart charger, and part of the 1st time use process. Your service provider should be able to diagnose the issue, and provide you with a new battery or phone.

  • I'm having the same problem as KN, evenhough I'm connected to the WiFi and able to surf Internet I can't seem to use the Facebook application. It always says "Unable to login". How can I fix this? Secondly, does this phone have any games in it and where can I download games? Thanks

Please help. Also can't connect to Facebook and how can I get my Gmail to download to my phone?

  • thank u all :)

  • can someone tell me how to find games on this phone
