The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is an odd beast. On the one hand, its combination of a slim design, good basic features, impressive battery life, and HD video recording abilities make it quite appealing. However, it feels cheap, has a poor touchscreen, and the interface leaves a lot to be desired.

Three of the best Mid to high end Mobile Phones

LG Optimus 2X

Our rating:

9/10

It's officially the world's first dual-core smartphone but more crucially, is it the best?
Motorola Defy

Our rating:

9/10

A water-resistant and semi-rugged smartphone that's actually nice to use!
HTC Radar C110E

Our rating:

8/10

If HTC's Titan was too brutish for you, but you still like the idea of Windows Phone 7 handset, then the regular sized Radar might be more up your street.

To add to above, S60 certainly is function over form and this handset is form following function.

Shockingly bad phone

26th October 2011, By Dolly

When phone dies and has been recharged almost impossible to switch back on
If battery dies have to fully charge before use
Frequently locks out
Can't keep time
Poor battery life needs charging every other day

Have endured this phone for well over a year now, can't wait for my upgrade date. Phone cannot be relyed upon to actually work when needed as have been locked out far too many times. Alarm quite often doesn't go off, that's assuming the phone has kept time in the first place. An all round thoroughly frustrating phone which will have you wanting to chuck it out of the window on more than one occassion
