Anonymous, 04 Dec 2009Satio simply disappointed in terms of its OS. It's a proof ... moreIf it had run Android it would have been delayed... Not until android 2.0 it support higher end cameras, and still not that good.
For the X10 SE has made an kamera app, that seems good, but X10 is not out for a few months...
In the begining Satio was supposed to run the new Symbian OS... that is yet to show up.
SE + WinMob still hasnt been a good experience.
So what OS could they have used?
None.. unfortunatley.

                  i see it faster too, and more touch responsive. other thing is faster ringtone when called (before it vibrates For 2 - 4 seconds before ringing).
                  Still need to change a lot of things.
                  - Keyboard layout
                  - Volume key to change music and volume when locked
                  - Music player able to change audio settings
                  - Music player able to not mix ringtones with regular music
                  - Clock on standby
                  - volume key to show status
                  - File manager (i think file manager on windows 3.1 was a lot better. I miss the regular Sony Ericsson file manager)
                  - and so on, so on

                    Except for the software problems the Satio has no 3.5mm audio jack (deal breaker on high end phone). I personally do not like the "beer belly", but I guess some people do. Hopefully Sony Ericsson will correct this with their next 12mp phone.

                      Satio simply disappointed in terms of its OS. It's a proof that sometimes big players get nervous under extreme pressures. It could have been the "Killer set", if it had another OS, like Android.

                        there where never major problems, this things been out in the real world and people bought it

                        carphone house probably got annoyed at the returns so they just took it off making SE act fast

                        but the rest of the world just uses the phone normally, camera, music, wifi etc, there weren't any problems

                        now when SE dont release the phone, than comes the problem like if X10 gets delayed than even if it is perfect it won't matter cause its not there!

                          The Satio was not actually recalled by S/E. It was a decision by Carphone Warehouse to stop selling them due to the software issues that had been experienced by their customers, causing so many returns of this type of handset. Once the software has been tested to a satisfactory level, Carphone Warehouse will start selling again.

                          I can understand why such a high profile release has been slated though, with so many problems that the Satio had.

                            There must have been something seriously wrong that SE want to keep quiet otherwise they wouldn't have done a product recall.

                            I suspect it may well have been to do with security, a vulnerability that may have compromised the OS or the users details.

                            I suspect that we'll never know.

                                This update seems to have no noticeable changes, suggesting only behind-the-scenes fixes. The transitions on the Sony Ericsson standby screen seem faster, and that's about it.

                                Although you should use the internal backup app (within file manager) before doing the update, it should retain all of the data and settings after the update. Don't trust it not to go wrong though, so do that backup anyway!

                                    Faster menus and more responsive.
                                    So far so good. =)
