The Moon Silver edition of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz has now found another new network partner, launched initially in February on both Vodafone and Orange pay monthly deals the Sony Vivaz can now be conencted to a range of O2 tariffs from free.

Joined by the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz Red and Black models known officially as the Ruby Red (sometimes called Venus Red) and Cosmic Black editions the silver Vivaz offers the same great features found in all three of these latest phones but packed inside a sleek, silver casing with blue accents down both sides.

One of a few mobile phones to offer HD quality video recording from its 8.1 mega pixel camera the Sony Ericsson Vivaz also includes WiFi, HSDPA, GPS and a whole host of other technology. There is also a TV out option for watching those HD quality video clips on your TV with family and friends.
