10 of the best Sony Ericsson Vivaz Accessories

Sony Ericsson have been having a tough time lately, but if the Vivaz is anything to go by, that’s all about to change. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a great looking, easy to use touch screen phone with some exceptional features – HD video capture being one of it’s best.

To really get the most out of your Vivaz, you’ll need to invest in a few accessories but with so many Bluetooth Headphones, Vivaz cases and Car Kits available, choosing the right one can be a bit of a mission.

To help you make the right decision, this post runs through 10 of the best Sony Ericsson Vivaz Accessories.

1. Sony Ericsson MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Sony Ericsson have always been one of the best brands for stereo Bluetooth headsets and the MW600 doesn’t disappoint. Not only does this compact headset allow you to stream music from your phone, it has full music controls and is the first stereo Bluetooth Headset to feature a built in FM Radio.

If you’ve tried to listening to the radio on your phone using a Bluetooth connection in the past, you’ll know it’s nearly impossible as the headphones act as the radio’s antenna. The MW600 solves this by having an FM receiver built into the control unit. Considering the price of previous Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headphones I was amazed to see that this is on sale for less than £40. For more details on the MW600, take a look at our Sony Ericsson MW600 Hands On Review.

2. Sony Ericsson AN300 Car Charger

The Vivaz isn’t too bad when it comes to talk time, but as soon as you start emailing, going online or watching videos your battery will start to drain quite quickly so a car charger is a worthwhile investment. The genuine Sony Ericsson Vivaz Car charger will work in both 12v and 24v vehicles (Cars, Lorries and Trucks). It has a Micro USB connection and will work with all Micro USB devices.

3. Dash Genie In Car Holder

The Dash Genie is the latest must have accessory to arrive at Mobile Fun. It’s an ingenious car holder that uses suction to attach itself to your dashboard and will hold your Vivaz securely, without having to mess around with adjustable arms. The ‘Red Dot’ sticks to the flat back of your handset and holds it securely. Don’t just take my word for it. Mobile Fun’s very own Stig took it for a test drive and you can see the result on the Mobile Fun YouTube Channel.

4. Martin Fields Screen Protector – Sony Ericsson Vivaz

The last thing you’re going to want to do to the screen of your new Vivaz is scratch it. Martin Fields screen protectors are without doubt the best quality screen protector you can get. They’re crystal clear and will make your phone look like new. They don’t reduce the clarity of your screen and colours look exactly the way they’re supposed to. If your screen protector gets dirty, they can be removed easily from the phone, cleaned and refitted. For more information on choosing a screen protector for your phone, take a look at our guide to choosing the best Screen Protector for your phone.

5. Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Speakerphone

If you want to listen to music from your Vivaz in your car but don’t have a 3.5mm line in port on your stereo, don’t panic there is another way to do it – and what’s more, you won’t need to have wires trailing everywhere to do it! The Jabra SP700 is a self install Bluetooth Car Kit that simply clips to the sun visor of your car and pairs to your Vivaz using Bluetooth. The SP700 supports the A2DP profile, which means that you can stream your music to it over Bluetooth and listen to it either using the built in speaker or you can stream the music to your car stereo using it’s built in FM Transmitter. The Jabra SP700 will also play your phone calls through your car stereo speakers for improved clarity. The battery life of the SP700 is fantastic with up to 14 hours talk time and 250 hours stand by.

If you want to be able to fully control your music without having to touch your phone, then take a look at the Jabra Cruiser. It’s similar in many ways to the cruiser, but features noice cancellation technology to reduce road noise and most importantly, it has play/pause/track skip buttons on it that allow you to control the music on your phone remotely

6. Sony Ericsson Vivaz Data Cable

Not all versions of the Vivaz will come with a data cable, so if you want to be able to transfer your music, photos and videos between your phone and PC, you’re going to need a data cable. Using a data cable is faster and often less hassle than transferring files over bluetooth and will charge your Vivaz at the same time. All you’ll need to use it is the Sony Ericsson PC Suite which is a free download from the Sony Ericsson Website.

7. SanDisk MicroSDHC Card – 16GB

Despite the Vivaz being a great Multimedia handset, it only has a limited amount of internal storage. As a result, one of the first purchases you will need to make is a bigger memory card. This 16GB memory card can store upto 14000 high quality photos, 3000 songs and 18 hours of video. Using a SanDisk 16GB Memory Card with the Vivaz will allow you to store more music, games, photos and videos on your phone. Images and video taken using the HD Camera will take up lots more space, so more memory is a must. A 16GB memory card will let you store over 6000 high quality photos, 3000 songs or around 80 hours of standard definition video. A 16GB card is the largest memory card that is currently available, although a 32GB Micro SD HC memory card is due for release in April.

8. InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector – Sony Ericsson Vivaz

InvisibleShields are still one of the best ways to protect your phone. They’re made from a tough, thin plastic film that covers pretty much all of your phone. The film has been vigorously tested and can withstand scratches from hand drills, screws, nails and being kicked across the floor (although we wouldn’t suggest trying it for yourself). They can be removed from the phone in no time at all and it won’t leave any sticky residue behind either. They add little/no bulk to your Vivaz and can be used in conjunction with other cases and covers.

9. Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset – Black

Jawbone changed the way that noise cancellation in bluetooth headsets worked. Jawbone’s work slightly different to other noise cancelling headsets, as they use a ‘voice activity sensor’ to help make your voice stand out. This sensor needs to maintain contact with the side of your face as it picks up vibrations as you speak. It then uses this information with the sounds picked up from the two microphones to eliminate almost all background noise.

10. PDair Leather Pouch Case – Sony Ericsson Vivaz

The PDair Leather horizontal pouch is a simple but effective case that keeps your Vivaz safe and secure. It’s made from high grade leather, has contrast stitching and is lightly padded to help cushion your phone against knocks and drops. On the back is a solid, sprung belt clip that you can use to clip it to your belt/bag.
