First up on list of big updates is the upcoming October 15 opening of pre orders for the Nokia N8 Symbian^3 smart phone. The device was originally set to come out last April but has been delayed so badly that it appeared that the phone might no longer be released. Anyway, Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia has confirmed that the handset is indeed going to come out later this October –on the 22nd.
Speaking of the Symbian OS, it seems that Samsung...

Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro deals on contract
The Vivaz Symbian flagship from the 4th largest mobile phone maker in the world Sony Ericsson gets a brother clothed in a new form factor sporting a tactile full QWERTY slider and gets slapped with a “Pro” suffix – the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. Apart form being heavier by 10 grams due to the added sliding QWERTY half-shell, and a diminished imaging prowess from the 8 megapixel camera on the Vivaz to one with just 5 megapixel resolution, the Pro is the Vivaz inside and on its façade.
Vivaz Features on a QWERTY Body
You get the same dual band 3G/UMTS with HSDPA/HSUPA data connectivity as well as a quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2G. Local high speed data connectivity gets WiFi 802.11b/g with DLNA for hotspot internet surfing and Bluetooth 2.1 and microUSB 2.0 for data synching with similarly endowed devices.
Like the Vivaz, it has the same SatNav functionality with a built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS, Google Maps and the WisePilot navigation apps allowing voiced turn-by-turn direction.

The QWERTY slider body weighs 117g and measures 109 x 52 x 15 mm to accommodate the same 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen with WVGA (640 x 360) resolution and 16 million colors typical of Symbian support. There’s the same accelerometer for auto rotate viewing convenience and turn-face-down to mute or snooze its alarm. It also benefits from a scratch resistant surface. Its touchscreen sensitivity is remarkably responsive but suffers the same lack of proximity sensor on the Vivaz that should disable its sensitivity when held close to your ears in a call.
Its 5 megapixel camera gets the same LED Flash, autofocus, touch focus, face/smile detection and geo-tagging that puts it in the same upscale camera phone status as the Vivaz. It offers the same high definition 720p video recording at Blu-Ray grade 24fps frame rates with video light and continuous autofocus.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro clearly gets the Sony Walkman entertainment pedigree but apes the Vivaz shortfall in not having video playback support for DivX and Xvid codecs. A 3rd party solution should be able to address this. You get the same stereo FM receiver with RDS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, TV-out (VGA resolution) ports and Bluetooth A2DP support for wireless stereo earphones.
The phone memory on the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro has a respectable 75 MB expandable to 16 GB from its microSD memory expansion slot. Its retail package includes an 8 GB microSD card free. You also get a 1200 mAh Lithium-polymer battery that delivers one of the longest talk times in the industry with 12.5 hours as well as 18 days in standby when fully charged.

To say that Sony Ericsson is back on its feet would be skipping plenty of much needed explanations. First off, the company was in far worse positions than being knocked down -it was practically sinking into a mush of financial deficits. The situation was more than bad; it was bleak, with little hope of recovery and many experts predicting that the end for the giant is coming soon. Well, it looks like Bert Nordberg has plenty to teach the publi...
