I use total video converter to convert ppstream downloaded video. Use nokia cell phone s60 3th baseline format, In setting normally i change the audio to 128bit, video to 500kbps, frame rate to 24fps and resolution to 640x360. I saw real player in my dad's 5800 but i haven't really try looking for it as it's not really readily avaible for download.

i dun really do video shooting nor snap pic very often,is it a good idea to get vivaz? coz i am attracted to its features...wifi,virtual qwerty keyboard,touch screen...
*
Yes, it's a feature rich phone if u like symbian os and not to mention good design and looks. For me what attract me to go for vivaz is it's look, compactness and good hardware spec. Camera and video is just a nice bonus for me. But frankly i feel the current symbian os cannot bring out the hardware power of this phone. I can notice some improvement over 5800 but.... Fyi i'm replying u using my vivaz^^

SE promise to upgrade the x10 & thier mini to 2.1 this year, but when donno yet la....
vivaz's s60v5 also an old version mah, since symbian^3 almost there already...but of course, s60v5 is already a very mature os compare to android 1.6
*
I heard se going to give android upgrade this september. Symbian^3 phone coming out later this year and spec is almost same with vivaz so i hope sr will upgrade vivaz os..finger crossed

QUOTE(porkchop @ May 20 2010, 06:31 PM)
can i check if symbian s60 v3 apps can run in v5 ??
*
From my experience a lot cannot run due to no keypad on s60v5. Java game can la.
QUOTE(bex9432 @ May 20 2010, 10:21 PM)
guys..↲↲Still no news our beloved vivaz can be hacked?↲I see many great app but we cant use it due unsigned version,
*
Unsigned app can be sign using dev cert. Problem with cannot hack is certain program like ovi store need recognize phone model cannot bypass if phone not hack

QUOTE(Alex Chillax @ May 20 2010, 11:24 PM)
thank u thank u for the feedback.
3-1 for vivaz!!

gonna get the phone tomorrow!! rclxm9.gif
*
If u want advice and feedback u need to let us know what u use ur phone for or what r u looking for in vivaz. Frankly a lot of good software like tunewiki, pdf+, ovi map, window live for s60v5 cannot run on vivaz cos all lock for nokia phone only zzz so imo using se phone running nokia os is not a very good experience for me

When I bought my phone, I did ask what's the different between AP & Ori (beside the warranty), the shop told me that, different is AP won't provide you the full accessories, which are the "Stylus, pouch and one more, I think is the phone stand (which I still can't much figure it out the actual usage of the thing)".

Anyhow, if anyone wish to get the AP set, then you have to buy the stylus separately as the original one will cost around RM70++. Again, since different people get different accessories in the AP set, I suppose it is based on which AP company that you are buying from. Some give and some just take it up and sell it separate.
*
the pouch for me is very useful, so is the stylus. the pouch actually is very well design for vivaz dun miss out on it imo. can hold my vivaz and stylus attach quite well and firm. As for the plastic stand, try watching a full length movie while holding ur vivaz and u'll find some use for it. btw i think ap also should get full set accessories cos all se vivaz come with those accessories 1 ma. out from factory already got inside the box adi and ap also get their se vivaz from se ma it's not like they make their own vivaz...btw my ori vivaz come with a extra screen protector inside.

uncle stimix got more ballz than me hehe. Btw 1 thing good bout satio is satio hackable now and vivaz cannot hack yet. Posted an interesting mod in satio thread that allow tweaking of the processor to run at 600mhz and ui to run at 60fps. Which translate into very fast and smooth symbian exp. Frankly symbian on se phone doen't get as much support as nokia...sad. Also reply from se said that they currently dun hav plan to upgrade vivaz to symbian^3. Imo the best platform now to buy phone is android, i even plan to develope app for android. Thou symbian owned a huge chunk of market share now, if it doesn't get more competitive it's going to get owned and obsolete in the future.

se vivaz pro 1 of the most sexy slid keyboard phone on the market.

se vivaz is a super feature rich smart phone

se vivaz pro got 5mp camera compare to vivaz 8mp and video recording for vivaz is hd compare to vivaz pro.
vivaz pro also a bit thicker than vivaz but still very slim and attractive for a side slid keyboard phone or whatever u all call that type try comparing at gsmarena since non of us r vivaz pro owner

from gsmarena....the diff of vivaz and pro is just camera and QWERTY....the hd recording stll the same...y u all say there are diff in hd recording in both phone??

i may be wrong...follow gsmarena ftw ^^

btw the default sony ericsson theme i find it very nice to look but very unflexible to personal customization eg the dock on the bottom part of ur screen.

i use back old symbian style stanby theme for now...sad

Added on May 28, 2010, 7:08 pmA new firmware for vivaz has been released. This update includes a noticeable performance improvement,updated Google maps, you-tube application and neoreader application.The radio also now supports RDS. I also felt the touch response has been improved a bit.
