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?)
