Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro, announced today, adds a QWERTY keyboard to the touch screen offering, delivering a user experience optimised with regard to messaging and entertainment. The full QWERTY keyboard allows consumers to communicate quickly not to mention efficiently via email, SMS or social networking updates. Just like flagship phone Sony Ericsson Vivaz? announced in January, Sony Ericsson Vivaz? pro allows consumers to produce and broadcast their perfect experiences in HD video. The open platform also allows users to customise their entertainment experience simply by downloading great applications thru PlayNow? and the Symbian Developer Community. "Having announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz? in January we are actually adding a sister phone that includes a QWERTY keyboard along with the touch screen for a top-quality messaging and entertainment knowledge, " said Daniel Sandblom Advertising Business Manager, Sony Ericsson. "Sony Ericsson Vivaz? pro meets the increased customer demand for QWERTY items without compromising on virtually any entertainment features. " Sony Ericsson Vivaz? pro features the new design philosophy 'human curvature', which will become a consistent feature of the Sony Ericsson portfolio going forward. Designed to mirror the shape of the human body, and at the same time delivering a precise and compelling way of reaching the phone, Sony Ericsson Vivaz? pro is instantly recognisable. Sony Ericsson are heaping emphasis on media for the Vivaz together with Vivaz pro, boasting that they're the company's first smartphones on the market to record 720p HIGHER video. The Vivaz has an 8. 1-megapixel sensor; the Vivaz pro had a choice of sacrificing battery capacity or camera resolution to fit in the slide-out QWERTY key pad, and so to hold all-day runtimes they shed the CMOS to 5. 1-megapixels. Both get separate still as well as video capture buttons, and there's one-touch uploading of photos and footage towards various online galleries. Like we saw on the Satio, Sony Ericsson have made some changes to incorporate social networking into this galleries, and Facebook photosets are included with local shots. You may also call up Facebook comments directly within the image, and reply straight; the slide-out QWERTY does make that easier.
