Review: Sony Ericsson Vivaz
Browser
The Vivaz comes with what appears to be the S60 browser. It has a decent toolset, and lots of options, but is very slow. Data speeds are never zippy with the Vivaz, and most often were downright turtle-like. Panning around web pages is painful due to the poor touch functionality, and doing complex gestures such as pinch-to-zoom are out of the question with the resistive touch screen.
Double-tapping on the screen zooms in so you can read text, but there's no way to zoom back out by pressing on the display. You have to open the magnifying glass and dial down the zoom level. This takes forever.
The browser would often freeze for no apparent reason. You'd press and press and press, and nothing would happen. Then it would suddenly come back to life, register all the presses, and launch three different web pages with no way to stop it.
It does a good job at rendering full web pages, though, and PhoneScoop.com looked good in the Vivaz's screen.
Customize
The Vivaz offers a number of customization options. The are a handful of themes on board, different colors for the backgrounds, a nice set of wallpapers and ringtones. The main menu can be reorganized if users wish, and there are customizable shortcuts.
