Update – A new update from Sony Ericsson is promised for January to fix the bugs mentioned in this review. At the minute it’s a little buggy for me. The screen on the LiveView is an OLED unit - it's a 1.3 inches big screen with 128x128 pixels.
I’m guessing that the software on this device is upgradeable or that the phone-based software can be tweaked to make the experience better. The Sony Ericsson LiveView But it's much better than those first Sony Ericsson Bluetooth watches. It’d tell us that there was no Facebook updates when there was and there was sometimes a lag when trying to control the music on the phone. Sometimes it would tell us that there was no RSS feeds despite the fact that we’d set it up. We found the software a little buggy too. It’s only a minor thing but, if you glance at the LiveView and find it showing a time of “00:00” you know it’s lost connection and you’ll need to grab your phone and re-pair it, which kinda defeats the object. Sometimes it would disconnect itself, and I’d have to re-connect again. However, I found a few bugs whilst operating the device. There’s a definite interest on the Android Market for extra plug-ins to work with this device and that’s great. A quick flick of the wrist is definitely quicker – if only a little – than getting your phone out and checking what’s going on. The idea behind this device is a good one. The phone also showed the latest Tweets – you follow a similar “scroll up and scroll down” system. The text you’ve received will pop up and you can scroll up and down the message – all without touching your phone. The battery tended to last around a day but it depends on how heavily you use the device. Just to the right you’ll also see the battery meter. Click and you’ll see the time and date (which is now accurate after pairing with the phone) with the text message symbol above it. When something does happen, such as an incoming text, you’ll feel the device vibrate and a small LED will flash in the power button.
