Barcelona: Sony Ericsson has launched Vivaz pro at the Mobile World Congress, which 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 personalize 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. The phone has 3.2 inch and 16:9 wide touchscreen. A user can stay in touch through email, Twitter, Facebook, blogging and chat, and also upload videos to YouTube via Wi-Fi. Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro supports UMTS HSPA 900/2100 and GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS HSPA 850/1900/2100 and GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.
