MANILA, Philippines - New buyers of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and Vivaz pro can look forward to the new SPB Mobile Shell user interface which will come preloaded on the phones in selected markets in the Asia-Pacific region starting this month.

This new customizable user interface, optimized for the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and Vivaz pro, combines the power of Symbian with a best-in-class, touch-oriented user interface to provide a faster and more unique experience to users. This marks the first highly customizable user interface solution SPB Software has brought to Symbian.

Incorporating HD video recording capabilities and Sony Ericsson’s “human curvature” design philosophy, the devices allow users to capture spontaneous moments in high-quality video and upload them for easy sharing with their friends.
