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. “We’ve created a mobile phone that makes it easy to catch life in high-quality video.”

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.

The new firmware gets version R1CA037 as opposed to R1BB041, a prior version. Once again, we must remember that SEUS is the application you wanna use in order to upgrade your firmware.

Have Fun!

“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.

“These problems couldn’t come at a worse time — just as the market approaches the highest volume weeks of the year. They have days not weeks to fix these issues,” Blaber added.

Sony Ericsson has had a seriously bad financial year. And the failure of its two high-end phones seems to be writing a disaster off in the fate of the once popular mobile proprietors. Its yet to be seen whether the two successors of Xperia are able to pull the company out of its misery.
