Sony Ericsson Vivaz

The Dallas, Texas-based carrier said the Vivaz features a "curved" design to mirror the shape of the human body, a 3.2-inch widescreen touch display, an 8.1-megapixel camera with 1720p video recording and runs on Symbian's S60 software.

Additional options include Wi-Fi connectivity, high-speed HSDPA Web access and a microSD slot.

"Shooting HD content is what creativity-minded consumers want from their mobile devices right now," said Paul Hamnett, Sony Ericsson's senior vice president. "We are putting the power of spontaneous HD in the hands of everyone."

The Vivaz now joins Sony Ericsson's other device, the Xperia X10, in AT&T's lineup. The struggling handset maker, which had released both smartphones to international markets earlier this year, has seen renewed success as it continues to turn around its fortunes on the back of Google's Android platform.
