Sony Ericsson Satio review: Shooter by vocation

27 October 2009
Sony Ericsson have long ago shown that they are not afraid of any challenge, producing handsets that have claimed a top spot on the market. There are still plenty of fans from those good old days that would love to see another market-leading device thrown their way...

They say it could play PS games too? I wanna try it on mine.

Review: Day 3 - So far so good. Just have to get used to the resistive touchscreen. Camera is GREAT!! I love my Satio! ...worth it. =]

    ezio, 05 Nov 2009@arak. i agree wid you as far as music systems/dvd players/... moreEEwww! Seen the HD, not impressed at all! The so called "HD' recording is weak with only 24fps and sometimes lower and with crappy audio quality! The phone feels like a brick as it weights 149 grams!! o.O And the design is the worst of all! Samsung has the ugliest designs on mobiles ever!!! And their user interface is ugly and looks like it was from a china phone!! The OS however is just the same as Satio but I still think Satio is snappier.. Camera of the HD is really ugly too it has this purple tint on it. And the screen is so weak with sunlight! Its like you can't even see a thing on it which is annoying how you take videos or take pictures with it outdoors!! The HD is really nothing against Satio.. Satio is way way better!!

      I bought Satio on 10 November. So far so good but I think the problem is its battery life. After taking many picture and video about 1 1/2 hours the battery was getting weak easily.

        Satio is the best selling phone in www.timtechs.com.

            I thought i would just give a bit of perspective on the satio as a lot of people are talking rubbish on here. i have had my satio over a week now and can honestly say i am pretty impressed. the touchscreen is better than i thought and works really well if use ur nail to navigate. i have put over 500 tunes on it and a couple of films from play now. the music player is top notch and the video quality from the playnow arena movies is amazing! ive now got my 8gb card nearly half full and it hasn't crashed yet 4 me. obviusly the camera is pretty amazing from what ive seen so far. google maps is very good and found my location pretty quick. the internet speeds r gd from both wifi and 3g. all SE need is a few more apps and maybe a software update and the phone will be amazing. in summary if you want a really gd camera phone with great media options then this is the phone 4 u, however it is not a business phone.

              Marketing people from other companies should stop posting here.
              Seriously, If you think you're doing your job by hiding behind a username and posting bad stuffs about your competitor, think again.

              This phone wouldn't be popular if it was junk.
              And enough about "this sucks" or "i returned it" something.
              How bout telling as WHY? So we get an idea.
              That is "IF" you really own one.

              PS:If you're thinking of buying it? Buy it. Only you will know if it suits you.

                sumit, 11 Nov 2009hi frnd i wil tel u honestly i purchased ths phone on 9 nov... moreI can clearly tell you're lying.

                You said you bought the Satio on the 9th and sold it on the 11th. However, the date you posted on was the 11th.

                If you were telling the truth, you would have said, "i bought the Satio two days ago and sold it today" instead of "i bought it on the 9th and sold it on the 11th". It clearly shows you were making up stories as normal people wouldn't say it like that.

                It's called Human Psychology.

                Quit lying and get a life.

                        The phone freezes a lot. Had it for 2 days now and just found out
                        there are hundreads of people returning them and taking new ones only to find out the same problem. Any info on when is the new software coming out or how to fix this problem. Having to take out the battery all the time isnt my tipe of cell phone usage.

                            if this phone would have .3.5 audio stick it would be great. well i dont know but on all my phones without this jack earphones got broken and new one were expencive and for that price you would be much better of with normal earphones. thats my opinion. phones with 3.5 jack in audio rocks

                              what is important is you get products that could last little longer and thats where you save your money

                                  Please help me make up my mind.

                                  This phone was just released yesterday here in my country. I'm planning on getting it next week. Hefty price...

                                  Is this Phone worth it?

                                      i love SE handsets ( i own 2 or 3 ).. but why can't they build a "Snappy" and very "Responsive" UI like iPhone, Palm Pre, and Samsung? (as seen on youtube comparison vids)
                                      Please please Sony.. Please focus your attention to your LAGGY OS or UI.. Whichever that is! Solve it!

                                        i would agree that Omnia HD has its strong points, but don't think they the UI isn't as attractive? Also, what is wrong with Samsung with no camera lens cover? If the selling point of your device is the camera and video, shouldn't it AT LEAST GET A LENS COVER? jesus, it's been how long and Samsung still can't get this right? Just that alone makes me second guess on buying a Samsung product. I want my product to be well protected for its best feature. Whereas HTC phones I can live without because the camera is not their main feature.
