[NEW GADGET] Does the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro look like a calculator? Maybe it is just me. Well, Sony Ericsson has just launched another member of their Vivaz series with Vivaz Pro. What does Pro stands for? I think it stands for QWERTY keyboard.
Another difference between Vivaz and Vivaz Pro is the camera. The Pro version comes with a 5MP camera while the original flavour is equipped with a 8MP one.
From the image, it does look like the QWERTY keys are made of rubbery material. Looked pretty comfortable to type on. Besides the keyboard, the highlight of the phone is still the capability to video your pretty girlfriend/boyfriend in the nude in 720p. In case you are doubtful of the “quality” of the recording, I have actually seen the quality from devices such as the Creative HD Vado. And they have proven that small devices are capable. Not that I am saying Vivaz Pro can do exactly the same, since I do not have a test unit. But well its worth a try or you find yourselves a demo unit.
In other areas, Vivaz Pro is a Symbian device. Still Series 60. Still baffling.
In terms of the impact on your bank account, Vivaz Pro is going at S$298 with a basic plan without data. Putting a 12GB data cap on it with bring the price down to S$198. Affordable.
