these are so similar phones but im stuck on what one to get or consider the vivaz has got a 8meg camera compared to the x6's 5meg but the x6 has the carl zens lens or whatever, will that make a difference
 
yeah but mate the nokia has got the carl zeiss lens

and i think i know when to bump my own thread as i didnt get any feedback!
 
I don't know if such lens make up or justify for the 3 megapixels lost.

It has only been a day, you didn't have to bump it.
 
Hello robina_80,

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Reviews:

A whole bunch of point-and-shoot cameras today boast 720p video recording, but are they not an endangered species feeling enormous pressure on both sides? For one, there are compact video recording DSLRs pushing down with competitive price tags, and then cameraphones are eating into compact camera territory with comparable still image resolution and video capture.

Eight megapixel still images and 720p video with continuous auto focus make the Sony Ericsson Vivaz a predator of point-and-shoot cameras. The Vivaz is not just a cameraphone though, it’s a smartphone as well – a tricked out Symbian running on a 720MHz CPU with a 3.2” nHD display to show it all off. That’s all in a package more compact than any combination of a stand-alone camera and a phone you can think of.

High-end smartphones have a long history of trading compact size for cramming in one feature more than the competition. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz strikes a perfect balance between being compact and feature-full – great news for anyone who doesn’t appreciate the recent craze of smartphones the size of a table… umm… tablet.

Hello robina_80,

Nokia X6 Reviews:

In the world of Nokia it's all about evolution, rather than revolution. So don't expect the specs on the X6 to blow your mind. The handset is the next step for the market leader scrambling to make up for a late start in touch- screens. To be honest, the Symbian S60 touch edition has been struggling to catch up with the standard setters in terms of user experience. And the X6 claims to have the answer: the responsiveness only a capacitive screen can bring.

The Nokia X6 is also the first XpressMusic handset to head straight for the high-end. Midrange is the highest the music Finns have gone so we are interested to see how this change of approach works. Nokia have always had a strong appeal to the masses, but pleasing the selected few is undoubtedly harder.
Key features:

* Quad-band GSM support
* Tri-band 3G with HSDPA support
* 3.2" 16M-color TFT LCD 16:9 capacitive touchscreen (360 x 640 pixels)
* Symbian S60 5th edition UI
* ARM 11 434 MHz CPU, 128 MB of RAM memory
* 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash
* VGA video recording at 30fps
* Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, UPnP technology
* Built-in GPS receiver
* 32GB built-in storage
* FM radio with RDS
* Bluetooth and USB (standard microUSB connector) v2.0
* 3.5mm standard audio jack
* Very good audio quality
* Proximity sensor for screen auto turn-off
* Accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation and motion-based gaming
* Stereo speakers
* TV out
* "Comes with music" edition gives you a year of all-you-can-eat music subscription
* Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
* Ovi Maps 3.0 Touch
* Further Ovi and MySpace service integration (direct image and video uploads)
* Most regional retail packages include a set of the great Nokia WH-500 headphones

Main disadvantages:

* X6 is still quite pricey (around 500 euro at the time of writing)
* UI is still immature with somewhat inconsistent user experience
* Touch web browser not quite polished and with dodgy Flash support
* No voice-guided navigation license
* No office document viewer preinstalled
* Doesn't charge off microUSB
* Very poor sunlight legibility
* Slow image gallery
* No DivX/XviD support for the video player
* No microSD card slot (as a connectivity solution)

***The final decision still depends on you. Good luck***

Thanks,
