The Sony Ericsson Vivaz (and Vivaz Pro) really intrigue me. Aside from an official blog, the company has had little fanfare around these Symbian-powered smartphones, despite their awesome spec sheets. Don’t worry, though – we’re not a Nokia blog, we’re a Symbian blog, and as such, we’ll definitely be covering these handsets as much as [...]
The FCC is a great resource to find out what phones could potentially come to the U.S. market, and with what type of support (EDGE, 3G, WiFi, etc). The latest jackpot is the revelation of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz U5a, which is a US-3G version of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, with, at least, dual-band 3G [...]

Sometimes I think that the earth is spinning three times faster nowadays, and it’s almost impossible to stay on top of the latest Symbian news, let alone technology news, or any news in general. This week for example, a couple of tips, editorials, competitions, reviews, have been published around the Symbian blogosphere that I wanted [...]
If you haven’t had your fix of Sony Ericsson news and coverage from our multi-part Symbian-Guru review, there is one website you should hit at this very moment. The Sony Ericsson Satio Launch Blog is an official Sony Ericsson endeavor, and if memory serves me well, the first time the Swedish/Japanese company steps up to [...]
After taking a look at the 7 things that I hate about the Satio, I change the perspective a little bit and explore Sony Ericsson’s newest Symbian device from a more positive outline. There is a lot to love about the Satio, and I would suggest you take a look at the detailed software walkthroughs [...]
After giving you enough time to digest the Software review and walkthroughs of the Sony Ericsson Satio, I take a turn today to look at my personal opinion on the device, and specifically the things that I hate the most about it.
