Sony Ericcson Vivaz pro lands FCC approval
We can imagine the conversation going something like this:
“Hello, FCC speaking. How can I help you?”
“Hey, Sony Ericsson here. So basically, we took this phone you guys already approved, and just… you know, slapped a keyboard on it. We cool?”
“Well, no, we aren’t ‘cool.’ Go ahead and submit another set of test results and we’ll get back to you.”
“But…”
“…no ‘buts.’ Just do it.” (click)
And that, you see, brings us to this filing for the Vivaz pro. It’s not a North America-bound version — there’s no 850 / 1900MHz or AWS 3G — but at least it’ll get you some high-speed data if you’re in 900 or 2100MHz markets (read: Europe). And heck, it might even make an original Vivaz owner or two jealous in the process.

More than half of Verizon’s customer base wants them to get the iPhone
It’s been said before, but let it be said again: Verizon better be kicking themselves right now. Not only did they not fight for the iPhone, they outright turned it away.
This new 4,000-person survey by ChangeWave probably isn’t going to make them feel much better.
The survey asked over 4,000 customers of Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile whether or not they’d buy an iPhone if it were offered on their carrier. Verizon’s customer base is by far the most excited about the idea, with 19% saying they would be “very likely” to buy it, and 34% saying they were “somewhat likely”. Sprint’s customers were a bit less enthralled by the idea, with only 11% and 33% saying they were very like/somewhat likely to make the purchase. With 11% and 28% in each category respectively, T-Mobile’s patrons were the least excited over all – but that’s still just shy of 40%, which is a pretty massive chunk.
Alas, “Very Likely” and “Somewhat Likely” are the only options that ChangeWave shared the results for, leaving the “Oh hell nah” and “Whats an iPhone?” choices unrepresented.

You know what’s awesome? Cookie dough ice cream. But when it comes to the smartphone market, the 18-month-old, steadily-growing Android platform is equally wondrous. Sure, Google may still have some catching up to do when compared with Apple, but at least Android users are already spoiled with a handful of good Twitter apps. Better yet, Twitter has now thrown in its official app to spice up the competition, so we thought it’d be interesting to put it head-to-head against the third-party clients. Read on to find out if we have a winner.
