Considering the steep drop of sales of its top-slot phones such as Xperia X10, X2, Aino and Satio, Sony Ericsson is bringing in the human touch to its newest scheme. Year 2010 will see the arrival of a new phone from the propreitors, which you have heard before as Kurara, now curiously re-named Vivaz, which features a “human curvature” design.It is basically a touchscreen 3G cell phone that captures high-definition 720p video, and also snaps photos with an 8.1-megapixel camera that includes face detection and geo-tagging.

It runs Symbian S60. Among its other top-slot features are a TV-out for displaying video on an HDTV, YouTube compatibility, aGPS, and Wi-Fi. It measures 4.2 by 2.0 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs just 3.4 ounces, and also includes a 360×640-pixel 16:9 touch screen.

“The Vivaz offers beauty inside and out,” said Lennard Hoornik, Sony Ericsson’s head of marketing.

Newest from the Xperia series, Sony Ericsson Robyn, featuring among the primes, an 5 MP camera, a 2.6″ Touchscreen, and running on Android Operating System, has generated quite a lot of excitement. Pointgphone brings to you fresh snaps of the anticipated successor of the company’s bestselling series.

More information about the phone will be announced on February 14th at the MWC.

The two new phones featuring from Sony Ericsson’s 2010 campaign due to be publicized globally on February 14th are   Kurara’s twin (pardon me if I am exaggerating) Kanna and the stylish Robyn (a pun on Robin, you say?)

DailyiPhoneBlog posted some nice pics of the new Sony Ericsson Faith that runs on Windows Mobile 6.5 and belongs to the company’s Greenheart series.

Apart from that, it includes Micro Sd Card slot, a 2.4” QVGA touch screen. You have a Qwerty keypad which makes things easier. The phone is pretty sleek although it looks strikingly similar to Nokia E series!

Sony Ericsson Entertainment Unlimited Phones Aino and Satio get firmware upgrades making them less buggy and more effiicient and user-friendly. As we know, the two phones were going headlong down all thanks to Aino’s buggy touchscreen and Satio’s irredeemable software bugs.

Sony Ericsson, in a bid to save the phones from swooshing down the alleys, has gone a step further and upgraded the firmwares. The new firmware for Aino™, version – R7AA071 is already available for updating in SEUS.

Satio too, gets an update.

Major software problems have apparently hit the latest gaming phone, a PSP substitute from Sony Ericsson, Aino. A large number of UK customers have reported problems regarding touchscreen interface of the model. SE has admitted “issues” regarding the phone. This comes just few days after its another much hyped high-end handset Satio was pulled off from the markets after high returns at Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4u saw both retailers halt Satio sales.

“Aino has sold in limited numbers in the UK, so this issue affects only a very small number of customers,” says a Sony Ericsson representative.

Aino and Satio are Sony Ericsson’s key products for the final quarter,” said analyst Geoff Blaber from British consultancy CCS Insight.
