Canada is about to get the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro via Rogers and it looks like the prices have just trickled out. A tipster from Mobile Syrup has just leaked the information you see above. It says that the Vivaz Pro will be hitting the carrier for $49.99 on a 3-year contract, $99.99 on a 2-year contract, $224.99 on a 1-year contract, and $274.99 contract-free.

The Vivaz Pro features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording, WiFi / GPS support, Bluetooth, an FM radio, a microSD card slot, a 720MHz CPU, and Symbian S60.

Rogers may be launching the Samsung Captivate next week but the Android party isn't over. According to the image you see above, the carrier will also be launching the Dell Streak MID in early November. This MID is already available on AT&T in the US so it's good to see that Canada will be getting it as well. Unfortunately, it's unknown what version of Android it'll have but it could be version 1.6, which would kind of suck

Yes, the image also confirms that Rogers will be getting the Vivaz Pro from Sony Ericsson.

Update: According to a newer Mobile Syrup post, the Dell Streak's training guide has just been leaked. The training guide confirms that it'll launch with Android 1.6 but there'll be an OTA update to version 2.2 later this year, which is a bit before the Captivate gets their Froyo update which is scheduled for early 2011. Of course, you can always root either device and put Froyo on it yourself. Check out the link above for a few more photos.

A new handset is headed to Canadian soil and according to Sony Ericsson Canada's website (here) it'll be the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. This handset is actually pretty good with a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen display (360 x 640 resolution), a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video recording, a 720MHz CPU, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g / Bluetooth 2.1 support, an FM radio with RDS support, and S60 5th Edition. We don't know which carrier will be getting it right now but it'll likely be Rogers.

You should be seeing the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro hit the stores in the very near future. According to Sony Ericsson themselves, this handset is now shipping to select markets worldwide. Unfortunately, they didn't say exactly which markets, so we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it hits your country's Sony Style online store in the near future.

It looks like the FCC has granted the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro, but this one is not headed to North America. It's got 900 / 2100MHz bands so it's destined for Europe. I wonder if this S60-powered handset will be hitting North America in the future... Check out the FCC filing here.

Update: According to Engadget Mobile, the Vivaz Pro has passed the FCC again. This time (here) with WCDMA Bands II and V (850 / 1900MHz) and that's perfect for AT&T in the US and Rogers, Bell, and Telus in Canada.

The Vivaz Pro was made official yesterday by Sony Ericsson and the full spec sheet has just found its way online, obviously. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro will be featuring a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 360 x 640 resolution, a 5MP AF camera with 720p video recording capabilities, an 8GB microSD card in the box, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth / WiFi support, VGA output, a USB port, and the S60 OS. This handset will be available in Q2, but you already knew that.

It looks liek Sony Ericsson has made a couple of new handsets official at their press conference this afternoon. The first one they announced was the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and the XPERIA X10 which we already knew were on the way in the first half of this year. They've also gone on to make the Sony Ericsson "Kanna" official as the Vivaz Pro! They didn't talk about it much at all so we'll have to wait for the full spec sheet later. I'm hoping it mirrors the specs of the Vivaz, except this one has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

They weren't done there. Right after the Vivaz Pro was announced, they announced the XPERIA X10 Mini aka Robyn. This handset will be available in a couple of different colours (five, see below). This handset will be running Android and will be packed with Timescape and Mediascape. In case that wasn't enough for you they've also announced the X10 Mini Pro, so that's the XPERIA X10 shrunken down and including a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Awesome stuff. All of these handsets will be available in Q2 of this year.
