If you don’t have a need for a physical keyboard — or you’re just not willing to wait long enough for the Vivaz Pro to come to market — then you might want to take a gander at Sony Ericsson’s plain-Jane Vivaz at this time that it’s available from Vodafone in the UK.

As is usually the case with these guys, you’re able to score the Vivaz for a big, fat naught on contract as long as you’re willing to pony up at least £30 (about $46) a month on your plan.

So, at this time the issue will be if an OS upgrade is really enough to push you off a keyboard and onto a touchscreen, so, do fill us in on what you plan to do.

We can’t confirm the details in this place, but we’ve received some pretty in-depth information about the Motorola Motus’ possible launch on AT&T that would seem to largely corroborate what we’ve been hearing so far:
