Picked mine up from Vodafone earlier, just trying to get my head around it! Fairly smooth running, going to transfer all music and stuff on there.
Only prob so far is that my contacts have swopped names, so surname showing first, any idea of how to swop back? The option on the phone to swop them back isn't working. |

Only thing i find odd is the lack of a Proximity Sensor
Videocalling otherwise can be done with the Main camera,but the lack of a Proximity sensor means you have to be careful when taking a call, or your cheek bone will touch the screen lol.

Yes, it lacks such a sensor. Dunno the logic behind that, but it's just like that

The lack of a proximity sensor does spoil the fun a bit. Does the lock key on the top of the phone work in-call? Maybe u can try that to lock the device and by default,the screen too. That's how i lock the screen on my G700 during calls.

i think this is most likely the case, other wise they would have included a sensor. well im hoping

best price at the moment is about $529aud, by the time all the HK sellers have them, it will reach $500, perhaps even below 500! bargain! so much so that im tempted to get it over the x10.
some were worried it wouldnt do well if it wasnt priced similar or less than that of the i8910 omnia hd. well, its cheaper already and the omnia has been out for quite a while now!
good work just hope its stable

Good price. Unfortunately Plemix's versions never support US 3G. Here in Jamaica we use that standard...and I want to try 3G finally so no more European 3G for me. I wonder if anywhere has the US version yet?

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!) |
