SPB Mobile Shell now officially available to the Vivaz and Vivaz pro

Published by Steve Litchfield at 16:05 UTC, September 7th 2010

SPB Mobile Shell has been a popular homescreen replacement for Nokia and Samsung S60 5th Edition phones, but the Sony Ericsson Vivaz's alternative front end was seemingly more of a challenge to displace. SPB have now officially released Mobile Shell for the Vivaz and Vivaz pro today. Both devices have graphics acceleration and plenty of RAM, so performance definitely won't be an issue.

The product page for this version of SPB Mobile Shell is at: spb.com/symbian-software/mobileshell/

From the press release:

"The new software solution will give our Vivaz(TM) and Vivaz pro(TM) users the opportunity to customise their handsets according to their needs in order to make the devices truly their own," said Peter Ang, Vice President, Marketing, Asia Pacific region, Sony Ericsson. "Users will continue to benefit from the Symbian platform, personalising their entertainment experience by accessing great third-party applications online through the Symbian developer community".

SPB Mobile Shell is a software solution that brings unique, customizable user interface to touchscreen devices. Its finger-friendly menus, multiple screens and widgets, integrated weather forecasts and a 3D carousel with special eye-catching visual effects make the manipulation with the device as interactive, easy and convenient as possible. SPB Mobile Shell solution offers great flexibility in customization and provides users with simple and fast access to all device functions without any damage to built-in system features or other third-party software.

"Sony Ericsson's Vivaz(TM)/Vivaz pro(TM) is a modern device for active and energetic people. We customized SPB Mobile Shell for Vivaz(TM)/Vivaz pro(TM) to allow users to use their handsets on a new level so that they could easily operate their device, enjoying its fresh look and fresh usability. We wanted to keep Sony Ericsson users going with the times", - said Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, CEO of SPB

Still prefer Tsunami on my i8910.

Given that I have already installed the trial SPB mobile shell on my Vivaz an so was confused. The press release say's that they have entered a deal with SE so that an optimised version will be bundled with the Vivaz in the APAC region. That sound's pretty good, hope they also provide it as firmware update for existing users worldwide.

Yes I think there has been some misunderstanding on the press release. It just meant that the Vivaz and pro versions in that region will come with a customised version preinstalled.

I have run it on my Vivaz since the beginning, without a problem.
