    by the way, is the word Satio an acronymn of some sort? because as far as i can remember, sony is fond of acronyms like vaio, clie, bravia, etc. the only thing that doesn’t have an acronymn amongt its product is qualia. don’t know with the sony ericsson though if they do the same thing.

    @john,wha: a leg and an arm. maybe two arms.

    its a sony product, and targeted at iPhone-gravitating users so what can you expect.

    disclaimer: my phone is a SE K618i. :)

    ciao!

    So okay, it is a 12 mp camera but what about video recording? And it is so thick…. I think ill settle for a standalone camera…. Phones with decent MP is better if it is slimmer… Just my two cents on the issue

    i’m still enjoying my C905.

    all this talk about megapixels makes my head hurt, if they put a tiny sensor and lens on it; it’ll look good on your phone but as soon as you blow it up on your pc you’ll see how bad it is.

    i thought it would the first phone to use Symbian foundation OS?

    would symbian foundation OS be the same as s60 5th?

    yuga, could you please confirm it with your source. we are curious and excited as everybody else. many thanks:-)

  12. Gravatar Icon yuga replied on Jun 18th, 2009 at 1:58 pm (12)

  15. Gravatar Icon tantan replied on Jun 23rd, 2009 at 11:41 am (15)

    will the camera lens of the Satio be Carl Zeiss?because if it isn’t Carl Zeiss then the 12.1 megapixel camera will be useless and pictures will have poor quality

  19. Gravatar Icon shinn replied on Jun 28th, 2009 at 8:33 pm (19)

    uhhm.. can you give estimation of the price for Satio.. Ive read about Satio and i saw (Satio and Satio a) WTF? is there two versions? hahaha. really love the features.. i hope you can give estimation of the price.. :D

  20. Gravatar Icon dimsirch replied on Jul 9th, 2009 at 9:56 am (20)

    I guess it won’t have a Carl Zeiss lens. However, image quality is still great. Look here http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_satio_idou-review-358p5.php

    There are two versions. I reckon that they have to do that because US carriers have weird frequency bands, way different from carriers elsewhere in the world.

    This will come with S60 5th ed instead of the Symbian Foundation OS due to time constraints.

  33. Gravatar Icon redh replied on Nov 28th, 2009 at 6:53 am (33)

    really? 25k? where in SM? i would like to buy it..

  34. Gravatar Icon Already replied on Dec 8th, 2009 at 11:52 pm (34)

    I found it at SM San Lazaro, I forgot the name of the store but it is located at the upper floor. The store is near at escalator. When you enter at the SM San Lazaro go turn to your right and then go up to the upper floor. The price is also cheaper comparing to other Malls like Robinson. And some phones in Rob is cheaper than SM. Which I don’t know why.

  43. Gravatar Icon Shanzky^^ replied on Feb 21st, 2010 at 4:21 pm (43)

    Which is better, Iphone or Satio?

  44. Gravatar Icon Markskie replied on Mar 21st, 2010 at 11:32 am (44)

    i have satio, Satio is better when it comes to picture (obvious b’coz of 12.1 mp) plus a lot of applications. Try to handle with care, of course for the purpose to prevent from scratches. Very good video also,so clear looks like a prof. video and up to 16 GB of memory. (sold separately).

    iPhone is better when it comes to touch screen,, smooth transitions to touch but picture is not as good as Satio, if it is iPhone 3GS much better b’coz of it’s internet,, faster than Satio.
