how much is this now? thanks

jay · 16 years ago

im still confused in choosing between satio and vivaz. vivaz has a higher processor speed (720mhz vs 600) and a mini usb and 3.5mm jack instead of fastport.

gud day i do have my satio red edition and id like to change its housing to be replace the housing into black or brown, is it possible? how? where? and whre can i buy the housing? and how much it will cost me?

Markskie · 16 years ago

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.

Shanzky^^ · 16 years ago

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.

redh · 16 years ago

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

Its already available at the price of Php 25,000 only @ SM.

Maria-Elena Berdon · 17 years ago

reliable cellphone, I always wanted in my dreams

david · 17 years ago

i would like somebody to tell me where to get this phone.

dimsirch · 17 years ago

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.

^_^

shinn · 17 years ago

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

tantan · 17 years ago

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

tantan · 17 years ago

does anyone have any idea what the price range will be for the Sony Ericsson Satio when it hits the Philippine Markets?or is it still early to give one?thanks :)

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 17 years ago

My guess is that it will be near the price of the SE Xperia X1

>”The full touchscreen Satio will run the Symbian Series 60, 5th edition (that would be the same platform as the one used in Nokia 5800 XM) and is expected to be released in the 3rd quarter of 2009″.

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:-)

chris · 17 years ago

i have read alot of details about this phone..i am really interested..when will it be available in the philippines and how much does it cost?

eithan · 17 years ago

sir yuga
My PS3 can recognise the Satio if i hook it uu via USB?

beng · 17 years ago

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.

cris · 17 years ago

i’m still enjoying my C905.

man · 17 years ago

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

Erin · 17 years ago

@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!

whaâ„¢ · 17 years ago

how much will it cost? and will it be able in the country? wow… 12 megapix for a mobile phone pretty much cool.

John Ray Cabrera · 17 years ago

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.
