Bookmark topic
X10 is one of the best handsets to date although it still does need some few touches. But once the upgrade is made everything will be perfect... Well at least except for the battery life which is common to Smartphones and Vivaz will still win over X10 when it comes to HD video quality no matter what.

Whats great:
4,0" screen
design
Android
1Ghz processor
What isn't:
short battery life
My battery life is great, I have at least 35% by the end of a night.
laggy Timescape and Mediascape
Mine don't lag.
Android because it's only 1.6 Donut. Support up to 65k colours
X10 will get upgraded, but I haven't missed anything by having 1.6 instead of 2.1, yet. 65k colors is fine, but I thought we were comparing Vivaz to the X10. The Vivaz is Symbian and Android 1.6 trumps that in my book.
Quiet earpiece
No multitouch
My earpiece is fine, granted if you require multi-touch don't get this phone but does Vivaz have it?
No trackball etc
Thankfully!!! No need for it.
No AMOLED screen
Which allows the user to see the screen in direct sunlight, how is this a negative? Give me the X10's screen over any other, and Vivaz is also not AMOLED.

Most of these are valid points but I wasn't comparing against the Vivaz in any shape or form. SE is still behind the competitors technology wise, and looks like it won't change for a longer while.

Whatever, no phone on the market has the specs of the X10, and Nokia's N8 is still a half a year from delivery, so I'm not sure what phone passes the Vivaz, Satio or X10, they're all great phones (save for Satio's initial awful firmware problems).

I am in a bit of the same predicament I would like to purchase a new phone and I have been looking specifically at the Vivaz and the X10. From all the posts you are all VERY keen on the X10 and have givien all the Pro's and cons on it BUT what about the Vivaz not much feed on what you guys think.
Compared price here in South Africa the X10 is a fair amount more then the Vivaz and I would like to know it the extra cash worth it and what are the pros and cons on the Vivaz.
I am currently a P1i user and loved my phone but it is now very tired and I need to upgrade
Thanks

@Lollylost100
I disagree with you completely on the point of SE being behind the competition in technology. SE was behind but not anymore.
AMOLED is no advantage when it trades sunlight legibility for a bright screen indoors. Why would one need a brighter screen indoor when the light is dim enough for even QVGA screens? Add to that the unrealistic colours of AMOLED compared to TFT and the former lags behind.
As for multitouch, that is something that is beginning to trickle down to all manufacturers. SE clearly picked the screen that doesn't support it on the X10 but th X10 mini's does support multitouch.
The X10 is still cutting edge in technological terms just like the Satio and Vivaz and pro.
SE's problem lies in software engineering, that is their major problem.
Where do you get that they are behind in technology?

I purchased a vivaz about a month ago and sold it within 2 weeks, its just too slow. The vivaz has got great features, its a nice size, has great hd recording and the camera takes very nice shots BUT its a real shame sony decided to use symbian because it really hurts the phone. The vivaz was my first touch experience and it was a nightmare, the os is ugly and the resistive screen did not help, compared to the iphone os it is a bus. I just recently purchased the x10 mini and android is a world apart, no more frustrations and slow downs. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra and get the x10 you wont regret it.

Have the choice of upgrade in the next few weeks with O2.
Not sure whether to get the Vivaz or X10.
What would you guys recomend?
Whats great about the X10 and what isn't?
Now I own a X10 and I do not like the look, its very plasticy and does not feel expensive in use. I would go for the Vivaz, sure its a little slow but it has HD recording and is much better looking than the X10, and more noticed

Vivaz has great camera, and great HD video in nice compact form factor, X10 has great screen, and much better Android OS, though, the version of Android on X10 is fairly prehistoric, Vivaz can be had much cheaper than X10 too.
