Sony Ericsson Vivaz review Comments

I agree the vivaz is the worst phone sony ericsson have ever produced. After only a few months after purchase the vivaz stopped charging, sent for repair it came back with additional problem. Sent back again and we received a brand new phone, oh good I can hear you saying, no not really as after only 4 months the same problem occurred in that the phone wouldnt charge. Sent away for repair to be told we had physically damaged the charging point and couldnt be repaired under warranty. The charging cable can only be plugged in one way but they are saying we forced it and snapped of the teeth!!!
After searching on review sites I discovered that this appears to be a problem a lot of people are finding. Only thing is after talking to sony ericsson repair centre I was told that it is not cost effective to repair the phone. So I have a phone i paid £150 for that cant be reapired and 13 months left on a contract and that only way to use that contract is to buy another phone. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS PHONE

The Vivaz phone is the wrost phone ever in sony ericsson .
The applications will not install in the phone.
Only in the specifications speed is high but in the actual speed is very less compared to NOKIA 5800(cost 12000).
Most problems in the phone is Charging port will become loose .
After bying this phone port will be loose in eaither 1 day or 1 year but servise center people not able to repair the problem. so money will be in ash only.

I also have the same problem.. Really pissed off.. I cant even use my new phone.. I am unable to receive text messages... No problem making/receiving calls and sending text messages. Anyone got a solution to this? I cant believe the vivaz got this kind of a MAJOR BUG.

Update: after updating to the latest firmware, crashes seem to be gone (for now). Feels much snappier now too.

Out of all the disadvantages, most can be easily fixed with software updates and downloading additional software. Some are irrelevant for me, really. But this one is a downer: Videocalling uses only the main camera (no secondary one). It almost sounds like a joke. I mean, how do SE expect us to make video calls? Perhaps buy an additional camera? If so I can live with that, I can't use this as very few friends have devices capable of videocalling anyway...
I'm considering to buy this soon and it looks like it has great functionality at a great price (currently about 280 euros is the lowest I could find in my country). Which is the main reason this phone is my first choice unless a better one appears at a comparable price.

u just have to connect ur phone to ur comp and when u r connected to internet get it updated.
