Is It Your Type? Body The Three S's Touch

Sep 3, 2010, 5:55 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Sony Ericsson fields an 8.1 megapixel shooter with S60 5th Edition under the hood. Despite its potential, the Vivaz has problems.

If you're the touch-happy, I-need-a-killer-camera-phone type, then Sony Erisson's 8.1 megapixel packing Vivaz could fit the bill. If you plan to use it as anything beyond a networked camera, however, the Vivaz is sure to disappoint.

Symbian needs to get their act together.

Ever since the 5800 (Tube), reviewers and consumers have been critical of S60 5th Ed. I believe that many of these criticisms could have been addressed in minor updates, yet the Symbian Foundation has failed to do so - instead they rest on their laurels as the market-share leader. Even Symbian fans' websites are being abandoned because of the stagnant state of the OS. These are sad days for Symbian, and I can't believe they don't see the writing on the wall.

Good to know--

--the S60 browser is garbage. I guess it's down to two OS's if I want a great web experience: iOS4 and Android.

You can still download a better browser, cant you? So what's the big deal?
