Sony Ericsson Satio and Vivaz finally get a music equalizer - read the full textThe Sony Ericsson Satio and the recently released Vivaz both lack a nice modern convenience - a music equalizer. A team of SE developers have come up with a fix today - and it's a rather strange fix. The equalizer controls have been released as a separate downloadable application from...

Mr. Sony and Mr. Eric, next time do provide equalizer from day 1, you know very well that it's not difficult at all judging from other manufacturers. You probably lose a fair number of potential buyers because of this.

That was the comment of the year! Is that why you have to download and pay for barely working 3rd party apps everytime you want something on your iPhone? Office tools, social apps and maps that other phones has for free in the OS.

Iphone can be made into a decent phone if you download and pay for stuff, but it is a severely crippled phone when you buy it new.

And having these features inbedded in the OS is far better than paying for amateur wannabe version on Appstore made by 9 olds for 9 year olds.

I'm not saying SE makes good phones, cause they don't anymore, i use Blackberry 9700 and Google Nexus One.

But iPhone? Get real man.. who really thinks that is good phone besides teenage wannabe trendy guys, 14 year girls and posh women with chihuahuas?

"Iphone is a rip off when you get down to the nitty gritty, £800+ for the 32gb 3GS sim free."

You're paying for a quality product that's why. Not a phone thatis released without all of it's features.

I love the amount of iphone hate there is. It only serves to remind me that the device was a great buy and will still be supported long after the Vivaz has been forgotten by SE.

Iphone is a rip off when you get down to the nitty gritty, £800+ for the 32gb 3GS sim free. Vivaz has better technology and you get it for £350 or less sim free

If I were SE, I will not waste my effort anymore for this non-sense upgrade or whatever... these phones are sure flops. How can you compete these phones with iPhone?

Really wasted effort!!!

a good bit of continuous nagging pays off at last,,it works like audio booster on htc touch pro where its seperate from the mp3 player and so works in all modes,

Good Luck..

Well, it's better than not having an equalizer at all.
