05 March, 2010
It seems Sony Ericsson Satio is geared for another major update, which should bring over WVGA (864 x 480 pixels) video recording update to the current VGA capabilities. There is some other new stuff as well...

      im done downloading the update and these are my assestments...
      1. the wvga is amazing very flawless result 1.03 min is 39.2 mb in size at 30fps.fs while recording.
      2. conversation is in messaging but unfortunately it is not a defualt one receiving message still in the old fashion inbox whats this? only the location is change too bad...
      3. the audio is change a little and still very good using headset
      4. media browsing is speedy unlike b4(good) slideshow? boring still no update why? i expect the background of media browser can be changed???
      5. the update doesnot affect the downloaded application(great) no nid for resetting.
      6. media server, you tube and fs are some icons added.
      7. i noticed that even if i changed to small the font of the icons the icon's name is still there unlike b4 the names are removed (landscape). a minute interface change god...or i just haven't noticed this b4? it means wers the u1 interface change sony ericsson?
      My conclusion...not good update only the video recording was upgraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaded... a failure... my excitement was changed and was elevated into more extra ordinary dismay... Gosh???
      7.

                  Anonymous, 09 Mar 2010cool v .what you wan from sony v ? Apps? Game? Is they firs... moreDude please don't waste your time with this V guy. Trust me, he is not honest and he is only here to make the satio looks bad. You seem a good guy that says the truth, but with V he is not only not being fair, but also ironic, funny, and not logical at all. Can you imagine he says the satio has a bad camera? Although all the experts, reviewers and customers admitted that it is one of the best camera phones around! Ignore him, he is an apple fantoy sorry boy lol.

                  Cheers :D

                    cool v .what you wan from sony v ? Apps? Game? Is they first s60 phone! You dont go open a store first when only two guy buy beer form you right?
                    Sure n86 have good photo but n86 is not good when is just out only after few update only then it is good, same as satio update will come and fix it. Sure u can say vivaz but symbian just fix n86 last year. I am sure after same update all will be great.
                    That why dont buy if your cant wait. Just like nokia n900 dont buy first there is not much software and game yet.

                      [deleted post]...and this latest firmware update on Satio still DOESNOT have multitouch, kinetic scrolling (without that it sucks on a resisitive screen), better camera pics jpeg compression...even the omnia HD is far far better than this dumb phone...sonyericsoon shud be taken to court for selling a product with just 2 small firmware updates in 4 months...and still not equal to what the current phones are capable of...i had sonyericsson's P800 and P900 in past and they were great phones...but now srsly sonyericsson sucks...they are far behind nokia, samsung, apple and even motorola android...and i guess u shud read reviews on other mobile websites...they hav trashed this phone and its already a failure in market...

                          [deleted post]fake??? do u read between lines or wat...i clearly mentioned that satio camera is better than iphone...i used it for 4 months and i can even show u 100's of pics to prove that...and i know satio in n out...every menu or feature it has...i had bought satio for the camera and the softwares but now i m very pi@#$d off at sonyeric and satio camera doesnot even match a 5 or 8 megapixel digital camera...it has small sensor size and the pics crack when u zoom them 100%...the flash is weak...nokia n86 has better flash...and there is lots of noise in medium light or indoor pics taken from a distance coz the flash has very small reach...why dont u try taking ur own full length pics inside ur home that too at daytime??? and if u want to buy a phone just for camera then there are much better camera phones in market...megapixel doesnot make any camera great...its the sensor size dude...the sony ericsson Vivaz takes better pics and videos...so do some research...(i wonder if u guys attacking my reviews work for sonyericsson...lol)...

                                  hack to get game on satio? The are still java hd game no need to hack, if u put same brain to hack if you have one you can get free game and software.

                                  Sure iphone have the best ui simple to use, great game but u need more brian to hack then symbian, but for game i still have 40 game on my satio and 60 no my n97, trust me i more happy to play game on my P.C, xbox360, ps3 and wii then on a phone then eat up battery life that i cant even use a spare battery and i have to use external back up for iphone try use it and play. Camera wise where is the flash when u need it? Oh ya u can bring along a spotlight when u need it! U have to sign your 2year live away to get iphone by that time call rate go down 5gs already out!
