Sony Ericsson set the stage for MWC by announcing three new handsets in a press event held on the day before the launch of the international mobile phone conference. Sony rolled out two new compact Android handsets based upon the design of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and one Symbian-powered handset phone that is the big brother to the previously announced Vivaz. The X10 mini and X10 mini pro are similarly spec’d handsets with the X10 Mini Pro sporting a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Vivaz Pro is a slightly modified version of the Vivaz and offers a QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen interface and the Symbian S60th 5th edition operating system. All three handsets are expected to launch in Q2 2010 in select markets. Hit the jump for the full rundown of specs.

    sexy look’n beast that Vivaz Pro. I’m lovin the QWERTY too. 3.2 inch screen is a bit on the small side, but its not horrible.

    I just wished the specs had

    UMTS HSPA 1700/2100, GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, or in other words T-Mobile bands.

    I’d say you have no life if you give a fuck what people post on this stupid ass board.

    If you think you’re gonna gain anything above and beyond what’s in the article by reading the posts then you are an idiot. Just read the article and skip the freaking comments.

    While the presense of the spam may be undesirable to BG and the rest of the staff that work on the blog, they choose to keep it an open forum and let people post whatever they want. I too am on this site way too much and I notice the spam but it doesnt bother me I just skip over the posts with the stupid links and move forward.

    You have posted way more spam than anyone else on this blog. So if you want the spam to stop then start with yourself.

    Diggn’ on the Vivaz Pro. Wish they’d have kept that 8Mp camera though. I suppose it didn’t fit when they crammed in the Qwerty. I’m also liking how they are using the “Pro” term for their Qwerty phones. Nice and simple.

    How the the heck can sony make a “mini” version of anything until the full size version has been made official? This is like ice cream company coming out with “non iced cream” before iced cream has even been invented. Wuzzup?

    I think the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a really great phone, even with Android 1.6, but I am really looking forward to Android 2.1 and Multitouch, as the X10 will be awesome then.

    I am 100% positive that you are spending valentine’s day alone.. Instead of making fun I’ll leave you some advice.. Worry about the things that are important in your life, BGR is not one of them.. BGR does not owe any of us anything.. If you dont like this site leave.. Trust me BGR doesn’t care about you or me.. None of the commenters care about us either.. So what ever mission your on it’s sadly in vain..

    If you know so much about running a blog make your own, I’ll give you a fair shot..

    And for the record I visit this site WAY to much and I never see spam.. So if you are catching spam everyday and actively tracking it you have too much idle time on your hands..

    Hey spamboy,
    WTF does your psychotic rant have to do with Sony?
    This is not the Dr.Phil website, it is a tech blog.
    Have a couple prozac and a shot and just let it go.

    Last time I checked this -is- the Boy Genius Report, _not_ the Miguel Report or the Crybaby Spamboy Report.
    The BG runs this blog however _he_ sees fit PERIOD.
