New ‘human curvature’ design philosophy delivering beauty inside and out

London – January 21 2010 – Sony Ericsson Vivaz™, announced today, follows on from the Xperia X10 announced in November 2009, and is the second phone in the new family of communication entertainment phones coming to market in the first half of 2010. Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ will come to market in Q1 2010.

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.

View - review video content in the standby panel or online via Wi-Fi on the 3.2 inch widescreen

Share - upload via Wi-Fi onto YouTube™ and Picasa in high resolution while still using other features on the handset

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.

belom pernah tuh, semoga aja lancar terus ampe selamanya
ampe saat ini sih belom nemu bugnya (dan berharap gak ada bug )

yap...gw kasih jempol buat resistivenya
menurut gw udah semi capacitive...nyentuhnya juga enak...
gak makan tenaga kayak resisitve pada umumnya
kalo dibandingin dengan resisitivenya X1...menang telak 1000%
dulu kan gw make X1, resisitvenya ampun dah

nah ini dia...berhubung hf bawaanya and craps (cuma hpm60 )
udah pasti kualitasnya jelek....gw belom coba make hf yg lebih keren (hpm77 contohnya)
jadi belum bisa komen banyak via hf (krn tergantung hfnya juga)

berhubung gw beli perdananya as yg pulsanya cuma seuprit, jadi belom bisa ngenet....nanti menyusul yak repiu ttg inetnya
situs yg langsung ke flash apa yak ?
biar langsung dicoba nanti

Mau share tentang Vivaz
Barusan baca di forum sebelah (kas*us) :
Ada 1 orang user vivaz yg bilang kalo vivaznya dia pas rekam video, gak muncul suaranya...
Dia bilang masalahnya ada di f/w awal yg belom bagus
Gw jadi penasaran karna sebelomnya gw rekam video gak pake suara
Pas gw cek sendiri, ternyata di vivaz gw muncul suaranya (gw rekam video pake suara gw sendiri)
Akirnya bisa bernafas lega...ternyata masalahnya bukan di f/wnya...tapi.....gak tau deh dimananya
hehehe

^
Bro, kameranya di low light separah itu kah? LED cuma sebiji sangat amat gak cukup yah? Boleh minta sampel fotonya?

@marty
LEDnya parahhh abis...gak bisa diandelin
Bentar yah sampel fotonya...
Ntar ane posting

Tanya dong bro Tekim

1. Daya tahan batrenya gimana? Untuk pemakaian ekstrim kuat berapa lama? Talk time nya lama ga?
2. Suara speakerphone nya kecil ya? Untuk telpon gimana?
3. Tipis ga

Baterenya yg model terbaru, tulisannya EPA (bukan Li-Po dari label namanya)
baru pertama kali dicoba di vivaz nih jenis baterenya
kalo masalah kuat apa enggak, belum terlihat jelas
krn baru ngecas kemaren siang, ampe sekarang belom berkurang 1 bar pun (cuma dipake sms doang sih)
soalnya hape secondary sih

spekerphonenya so-so lah, lumayan keras...cuma cempreng

3. Tipis ga

gw gak hapal spek dimensinya...cuma menurut gw tipis bro...enak digenggam krn bag belakangnya melengkung
dan dari belakang terlihat keren kyk camdig

maksih bro fuma...
biasanya bro fuma kan yg selalu jadi EA
hehehe
ane belom pernah liat stylus satio...mungkin bro fuma bisa ngepost gambarnya
yg pasti stylusnya pendek dan tebel kayak pulpen, ujungnya juga gede, mirip ujung pulpen lah

makasih bro..udah lama kangen make hape SE...
iya neh, belom ane post videonya...yang pasti alussss banget
gak ada ngelag2an deh
ane sebenrnya mau coba rekam video yg objek bergerak, tapi susah cari objeknya

ni hasil fotonya :
1. Kondisi Siang hari pake resolusi 8mp, objek jauh (pictnya ane resize yak, dikecilin beberapa %)
==> terlihat jelas, natural dan mantab

2. Nah ini kekurangannya baru nyadar kalo di vivaz gak ada mode makro
Kondisi siang hari (kaya cahaya), pake resolusi 8mp (tp di pict ane resize), objek diambil dekat
==> terlihat ngeblurr karna gak ada mode makro , tadi dah utak-atik, tapi gak nemu makro ....mungkin ada yg bisa bantu ???

3. Ini juga rada menggembirakan
Kondisi malam hari (kurang cahaya), memakai cahaya lampu ruangan + LED dari vivaz, resolusi 8mp (tapi diresize)
==> terlihat tanpa noise dan cukup jelas (bagi gw sih)

kalo pendapat para master SE gimana ???

4. Ini alasan kenapa LED vivaz gak bisa diandelin kayaknya bukan LED deh, krn nyala mulu gak bisa diset nyala pas ambil foto
Kondisi malam hari (kurang cahaya), tanpa lampu ruangan, hanya memakai LED vivaz, res 8mp (tapi diresize)
==> terlihat gak jelas...karna LEDnya payah

Dari hasil foto vivaz, ane minta pendapat dari para sesepuh SE yak...
walo ada kekurangannya....ane tetep cinta sama Vivaz ane

Hauhuahuaha......Sayang yah vivaz padahal bagus tp lensany ga dikasi cover pelindung

Yap stylusny sama kok bro ama Satio, Satio gw udah dijual heheheheheheh

Rasanya pas di siang hari itu, daya tangkapnya lebih bagus ketimbang Aino, cuman kalau kekurangan cahaya, yahh siapin lampu meja belajar deh.

Namanya LED saja sudah pasti rada kurang, sama halnya dengan x10, LEDnya benar2 tidak diharapkan.

Mau bagus sih mesti pakai Xenon.
