With some impressive entertainment features,The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Provides An Impressive Spec List Articles the Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers the ability to store a large number of files thanks to 75 MB of internal storage as standard along with an integrated micro SD card slot which comes with a pre-installed 8 GB memory card.  However this can be upgraded with a card of up to 32 GB which offers the potential to store an entire digital music collection.  In order to keep friends and families numbers saved, a substantial internal phonebook can store a huge number of contacts and also includes the Photocall feature.

Along with the ability to record HD video, the screen is ideally setup for viewing high quality video footage and photos thanks to the ability to display up to 16M colours within a pixel layout of 360x 640.  The TFT resistive touch screen measures 3.2 inches and offers a dynamic method of navigating the user interface.  An accelerometer sensor is also included which rotates the contents of the screen allowing it to be viewed in both portrait and landscape forms, again making it ideal for viewing videos.

Given its long list of features, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz remains relatively compact measuring just 107x 51.7x 12.5 mm and weighs in a super lightweight 97 g making it a pocket friendly handset which is also a pleasure to hold and use on the move.  The handset is available on a number of impressive colour variants, therefore offering aesthetic appeal to the style conscious mobile phone user.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is equipped with a super impressive 8 mega pixel digital camera.  Obviously, when such a high pixel count the resulting images are of stunning quality and the task of taking these photos is simplified thanks to included features such as Autofocus, touch focus, face & smile detection and an LED flash.  High definition video can be recorded using this camera in 720p at a rate of 24 frames per second, offering similarly high quality video footage to that of still images.

A number of connectivity methods are employed by the handset in order to provide it with optimum levels of connectivity to both cellular networks and the Internet. 3G coverage provides the primary methods of connecting to the Internet, and this is courtesy of an HSDPA connection at speeds of up to 10.2 mega bytes per second (alongside HSUPA at 2 MB per second).  Integrated Wi-Fi Technology offers the potential to gain a faster Internet connection by utilising the signals provided by wireless Internet routers when available.  Class 10 versions of both EDGE and GPRS provide the handset with its connections to cellular networks.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is one of those handsets which ticks all the boxes in terms of both aesthetic appeal and everyday functionality whilst providing stunning features in terms of the camera and display quality.
