With Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ communication truly becomes entertainment with high quality HD video allowing consumers to produce and broadcast their best experiences with the latest video capture and sharing features.

The open platform also allows users to personalise their entertainment experience by downloading great applications through PlayNow™ and the Symbian™ Developer Community.

“User-generated content, especially video, is exploding on the web,” said Lennard Hoornik, Head of Marketing, Sony Ericsson. “With Sony Ericsson Vivaz™, we have created a mobile phone that makes it easy to catch life in high quality video and upload that self expression onto the web to share with the world. Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ offers beauty inside and out with an open and intuitive user experience allowing consumers to capture, view and share their lives and spontaneity in HD quality.”

Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ features the new design philosophy ’human curvature’, first introduced with the Xperia X10, which will become a consistent feature of Sony Ericsson’s portfolio going forward.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

pantau dolo...
tapi lg pingin yg layar gede + ada qwuety nya... kyk miley gt.. gahaha...
ada ga y hp soner yg gt yg murah n baru... + jgn lagg ato hang lg d...
ampoen dah..

@sud xu
nunggu aja yg seri pro
kek X10 mini pro, atau vivaz pro

keypad sih wajib lah. uda cobain Omnia II nya abang gw. cape banget ngetik di keyboard virtual. ga nyaman

Setelah liat review nya lagi di gsmarena, nih HP asik juga. Vivaz Pro kayaknya bakal gw pertimbangkan. Tapi dengan harganya saat ini, X6 dan Vivaz keduanya kemahalan

Dan S60 bentar lagi udah mau digantikan oleh Symbian^3
Dari dulu kan S60 gak bisa diupgrade ke versi barunya(gak kayak WInMo, Iphone, BB, Android), jadi aplikasi2 tampaknya bakal lebih banyak buat Symbian^3 karena pembuat app bisa lebih leluasa, soalnya hardwarenya pasti lebih bagus, gak ada masalah di RAM yang dikit, procie yang gak kuat, dsb
Bener kan?

apa masa depan symb3 lebih cerah dibanding symb60 ???
we will see it

@Tekimania
sayank nya bro... untuk vivaz tidak d tanam capasitive touchscreen.. jadi ga respon bgt donk klo pake jari mesti pake kuku?
omg...
pusing juga mao beli hp baru skrg...
terlalu byk n masing2 ampir2 sama... klo salah beli jedotin ke kepala d...

mank symb 60 ga isa upgrade k symb3?
gahaha...

tadi megang megang dummy VIVAZ dan X6 di senci... g amat sangat sangat sangat sangat tidak setuju kalo dibilang ini saingan ama X6 gile dari body aja jauuuh banget ninggalin X6 dibelakang... apalagi dari sisi menu tuh... diatas X6 jauh lah

Setuju! Jauh lebih keren Vivaz kan? Tadinya gw juga tertarik pengen beli Vivaz, tapi karena dihadapkan sama 2 pilihan antara Vivaz dengan X10, akhirnya Vivaz harus ngalah....

Gw baru aja liat iklan Vivaz di TransTv nih.. Yang ditonjolin-nya HD Video dan kamera 8.1 MP..

-- Posted from my SonyEricsson

hari Jumat atau Sabtu kemaren ada iklan Vivaz di Kompas lagi, confirmed harga 4.75 jt. Mungkin karena itu X6 (denger2) langsung turun harga mendekati 4 jt (atau malah di bawahnya?)

blm ada yg beli ya? liat komen2 di gsmarena yg udh make vivaz kok pada kecewa smua ya?

vivaz bisa GPS kan? apa ga murni GPS (aGPS gitu?) pengen cari hape yg bisa GPS kayak garmin dll ne tapi kameranya yg yahud. hehehe

Vivaz ada built-in GPS Receiver dengan aGPS support.
Karena dia pake OS Symbian, berarti bisa di-install Garmin XT.

Tapi GarminXT kalo mau gratisan kan hpnya harus dihack dulu

Symbian S60 v5 a.k.a. Symbian ^1 udah bisa di-hack belum?
Tube sama N97 udah bisa di-hack belum?
Kalau Tube/N97 udah bisa kan berarti Vivaz juga bakal bisa dong...
