Hands down I'd say Xperia Mini is better at everything except still image photography. may of us would say more pixels equates to worse image quality but in this case Vivaz is downright superior due to better signal-to-noise and better processing of JPEG photos. many 2011 8mp Xperia (despite the so-called Exmor-R back illumination technology) users reported worse image quality compared to last year's Xperia X10, Vivaz and even Aino which I believe shares identical sensor with the two. though we don't know exactly how large the sensors that these two camera phones had within.

Yeah, i already made a decision.
I'll sell my Vivaz and get myself a Xperia Mini

Video quality of the Xperia Mini is indeed much better compared to the Vivaz. I compared the 720p Videos taken with the Vivaz with WVGA videos taken with the Satio. Believe it or not, but the videos of the Satio look the same in terms of sharpness. But contrast and colors are even better in the Satio videos! The only advantage of the Vivaz is the continuous autofocus.

And like i mentioned, videos taken with the Xperia Mini really do look like HD. Videos taken with the Vivaz do look like interpolated WVGA videos... and they get really pretty noisy (and much blurrier as they are already) as soon as it gets a little darker - absolutely no more HD quality at all.

And don't forget the MUCH better sound quality of the Xperia Mini (in stereo!). Vivaz' sound is just too low...

Still images of the Vivaz taken in good lighting conditions are very good - even less noisy then images taken with the Satio. BUT (!), only in good lighting conditions. As soon as it gets dark, the pictures taken with the Vivaz are really blurry and really dark... thanks to that poor LED light, which really doesn't help in low light...

I hope the Xperia Mini images taken in the dark are much better then the ones taken with the Vivaz, i mean the Xperia Mini does have a LED flash at least.

Well, as you mentioned already razec, the Xperia Mini is better indeed. Above all it's an Android phone! Symbian (especially S60 5th) really sucks big time compared to Android (and also compared to nearly any other OS )

Anyway, can't wait to get the Xperia Mini
