The Vivaz Pro is an upgraded version of the recently announced Vivaz. The major difference is the Pro has a slide out QWERTY keyboard on top of all of the other features. While some might think that is breaks the styling of the phone, it adds a mere 2mm to the thickness and only 20 grams to its weight. Not a major price to pay for a full QWERTY keyboard.

The Sony Ericsson Aspen is a simple Blackberry-look-alike. With a full QWERTY keyboard on the front face sharing space with the touch screen display which makes it somewhat unique. It is being touted as a ‘green’ phone in Sony’s GreenHeart line of phones.  Use of recycled materials for packaging, water-based paints and a power-saving application (called an Off button?).

Really, it’s not an exceptional phone when you take a deeper look.

The phone is certainly aimed at those who like to chat or use social networking and email often with its touch screen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It does skimp on a few features to keep the price down (GSM only, 2MP camera)
