My son’s birthday is coming up and he wants the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz mobile phone, luckily I got his first contract just before his birthday a couple of years ago so he is due for an upgrade. The only trouble was that the mobile company he is with, Virgin Mobile doesn’t stock the phone so he will have to change mobile service providers.

I checked various mobile phone comparison sites and found a T-Mobile contract with free handset, 300 minutes, unlimited text messages and free accessories for £25 per month, it also includes unlimited internet which is good because I know he will use it.

Now I know it doesn’t seem like a lot for his birthday as it is a free phone, but I do pay his contract every month so he is getting a good deal if you ask me, that is of course till he gets a part time job (hopefully sooner rather than later, he’ll be 16 next week), then he can pay for it himself.

I’m intrigued to see what the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is like, especially with its HD video recorder and how the touchscreen compares to my HTC Magic.
