Sony Ericsson U5i Vivaz (HD)

Buy the Sony Ericsson U5i Vivaz from MobiCity, unlocked and with 12 months warranty.

Kurara, Vivaz, U5i; Whatever you call it, it's the second Symbian S60 device to ship from Sony Ericsson and it now has HD video recording.

As the second Symbian S60 device from the Sony Ericsson stables, the Vivaz squeezes the Satio into a svelte casing, reflecting Sony Ericsson's new 'human curvature' design philosophy.

The phone features the same S60 5th Edition operating system and now adds HD recording (720p) into the mix (helped along by a faster 720MHz processor).

Keeping the size down has resulted in the loss of the 12.1-megapixel camera and Xenon flash, replaced with an 8.1-megapixel camera with LED flash.

The Vivaz now comes with clients for Facebook and Twitter, but does not come with the new Timescape and Mediascape software coming to the Xperia X10 (Android OS) phone due out at around the same time.

A 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB connector mark two other key changes over the Satio.

Pre-loaded applications will consist of: Facebook, Google Maps, QuickOffice, Sync, SMS Preview, Twitter, YouTube, Water Level (spirit level tool), Wisepilot (navigation - 3 month free trial), World Mate, Rally Master Pro and SSX Snowboarding.

This handset is free of carrier settings and unlocked for use on any network. Telstra NextG customers can only use the 2G services of their SIM with this device.
