On the 15th of January I introduced you all to the Sony Ericsson Kurara, this was the ‘code name’ and the actual name has now been released. The Sony Ericsson Kurara becomes the Sony Ericsson Vivaz! The word ‘Viva’ means happy, so with a play on words I would say Vivaz, is going along these lines. It’s happy, contentment; the Vivaz will keep you ‘Viva’.

Features stay the same, but the name has changed – have a look at the latest video on Vivaz:

As you can see from the video, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is very stylish and has some impressive usability and features.

Symbian running monster
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a Symbian running monster, the Symbian is an operating system (OS) that provides underlying routines and services for application software. Let’s not get too complicated, basically an email software that interacts with a user through a mobile phone screen and downloads email messages to the phone’s inbox over a mobile network or Wi-Fi access.
