As no one else seems to have I may as well:-

Part One of All About Symbian's Vivaz review

Much more favourable than their first impressions of the Satio

The Software still seems to be giving them some food for though which is funny given that it's a Symbian site. I agree with them about "skinning" OS's I just think that Symbian in it's current touch versions is not very nice (WM?) so I see SE's idea I just agree it's a bit misguided. It's a shame that SE haven't included any new SF^2 features like kinetic scrolling but guess they don't have time now they're so busy developing layers for different OS's to differentiate themselves now they don't have a Smartphone OS of their own (a mess wew could all see coming for the last 2+yrs).

Overall though as I felt and said when I firest saw it this seems a nice little handset and think it could do pretty well at it's price - looks very nice I think.

I've just made a call to Voicemail on mine to test, the only parts of the screen you can touch are the options and keypad right at the bottom of the screen, the rest of the screen I touched and it made no difference. On the options you can lock the screen and keypad during a call, but all the calls I've made I haven't accidently pressed options or keypad or cut off the call.

But pressing the button on top of the phone, I have switched the phone off a few times which is annoying, I just needed a light press of the button instead. Still pleased with it though, hasn't crashed or gone tits up on me (yet!)

Hey there, I've just got Vivaz today and it's my first smartphone. Getting slowly used to the touchscreen, using the stylus helps alot.

Does anyone have any user tips for me, to make my Vivaz experience as good as possible - eg, good programs to download, themes etc.

Let's hope I have a good time using Vivaz

Well I got mine yesterday from carphone warehouse for £299 with 10% of my top ups over the last 18 month back. My previous phone was a W890 so this is taking some getting used to. Silly things like finding some of the settings (like changing the ring tone) and how to see the word choice in the predictive text (press star for those of you with the same question). I had to google the answers. I think my biggest critcism would be the instruction book is not very comprehensive. Like I said, it's silly things like when I first got it I wanted to put the battery and sim in but it wasn't clear from the diagram whether the back was just pulled off or you pressed a catch or what. I was a but nervous of forcing it off for obvious reasons (turns out you do just force it off).

When I did take the back off I did feel a little disapointed because it was quite plasticy but that isn't obvious when it's in place. When I thought about it though I realised that the curving does mean it would be plastic.

Having played with it for 24 hours I'm just about getting used to the way it works and I do like it. The sound through the speakers seems good and the camera is excellent.

I'm just a novice but this is a nice light phone with really good specs to be honnest my main complaint is the lack of smileys in the text messages ... although someone may come back and tell me how yet!

Got the Blue one from O2 and its gone back. Prefer my 2 Satio's.

The blue colour is actually quite nice. Didn't think it would be. Looks a similar colour to my S700 I modded a while ago.
Nothing different from the Satio and I would consider it a downgrade from what I already have IMO. Yes it doesn't have a proximity sensor like the Satio does. When you need to use the touch screen on a call you have to unlock it. No front camera for Video calling is no big deal. The feature is still there anyway.

To me theres nothing different in the Vivaz that I havent already got with the Satio which is my reason for returning it. If you already have the Satio and want to get the Vivaz expecting something new you maybe disappointed slightly.
