I’m happy to inform you that Sony Ericsson has started to ship out Vivaz pro to selected markets around the world.

There might be slight differences in when it will be available for your market, so I advise you to check with your local operators and retailers for more detailed information.

Vivaz has been shipped in large volumes already. Some of the top reasons from consumers why they desire the phone is the superior HD video recording as well as the unique Human Curvature design.

It feels very pleasant to be able to extend the Vivaz family with Vivaz pro with a full slide-out qwerty keyboard.

Final note, just want to highlight that both Vivaz and Vivaz pro are confirmed to support up to 32GB micro SD memory cards. This is a big reassurance if you are a heavy user of music, games, apps and video recording. Why not take the opportunity to check if your local retailer is up to date with this information

Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro, adds a QWERTY keyboard to the touch screen offering, delivering a user experience optimised for messaging and entertainment. The full QWERTY keyboard allows consumers to communicate quickly and efficiently via email, SMS or social networking updates.

Just like flagship phone Sony Ericsson Vivaz™, announced in January, Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro allows consumers to produce and broadcast their best experiences in HD video. The open platform also allows users to personalise their entertainment experience by downloading great applications through PlayNow™ and the Symbian Developer Community.

“Having announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ in January we are now adding a sister phone that includes a QWERTY keyboard along with the touch screen for a superior messaging and entertainment experience,” said Daniel Sandblom Marketing Business Manager, Sony Ericsson. “Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro meets the increased consumer demand for QWERTY devices without compromising on any entertainment features.”

Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro features the new design philosophy ’human curvature’, which will become a consistent feature of the Sony Ericsson portfolio going forward. Designed to mirror the shape of the human body, and at the same time delivering a precise and compelling way of interacting with the phone, Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ pro is instantly recognisable.
