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...

@arak. i agree wid you as far as music systems/dvd players/bluerays/home theaters are concerned. in lcd tvs sony uses picture tube of samsung. and etc cum to the point of my opinion on satio. i ve samsung omnia hd and my bro has bought satio day before yesterday and i must say tht SATIO SUCKS. omnia has betr touch betr music quality betr screen betr colours the only feature in vich satio outperform sony iz its camera/xenon flash. but the response tym of satios camera is too much . OMNIA HD IS A TRUE BOSS OF SATIO

    let me tell you the name SONY , what does it mean
    reliable
    durable
    after sale service
    built to last

    i have tried both samsung and sony , in all aspects of their similar portofolio , TV , camera , DVD , and let me tell you that sony is better product when it comes to quality parts and durability

    and when you get sony , there will never be a single fault , but i doupt for samsung

    in short sony products pays off your money in the long run since you will have troubel free product for a very long long time

          The Satio just arrived here in Saudi Arabia and i was so afraid that the price will hit the roof but turned out the price was reasonable and acceptable 2,400 SAR about 480 EUR and it's just the 1st week.

          Comparing this price to the 1st week of release of N96 which was around 5,000 SAR and less than 3 weeks the price drop to 2,800 SAR a lot of people were disappointed of NOKIA

          Also the price of AINO is 1,900 SAR which is great and affordable

          Thanks
          ^_^

            Pro, 03 Nov 2009If you can afford it than buy this phone, otherwise do some... morewell the thing is for most people, unless they have too much money on their hands and don't know what to do with it, they will most likely not buy more than 2 phones anyways. It's true that there's no such thing as a perfect phone, and we will probably NEVER get the "perfect" phone in our life-time. I think people just need to realize what they're looking for in a phone.

            If you want a great camera, good looking phone (could care less about the thickness of the device), slick UI, and lots of multi-media features (albeit not flawless features), then Satio is a phone to consider. If you're looking for a music/video player or internet surfing device, then this is probably not the phone for you.

            Lastly, I'm not sure why so many people have battery problems. But I've just recently replaced my Viewty battery and I get a good 3-4 days of usage out of it. I do a lot of texting and people were complaining before about the battery for Viewty as well. I think it's a lack of knowledge on how to condition the battery which is the biggest problem here.

            Oh, and why do you need 3 phones? =P

              If you can afford it than buy this phone, otherwise do something else rather than keep debating which phone is more superior compare to other. I have N97, Satio as well as Omnia HD, tell you the truth there is no such thing as superior device, thats why get a better job and buy them all.

                              well after try both satio n omnia hd....i prefer to tske omnia hd...

                              why? coz it's not as fast as omnia hd...

                              one think i've notice that using the stylus will give speedier ui but if u use ur finger = very2 unimpressive and laggy....

                              omnia has faster ui but the menu icon sucks big time,,,,

                                        Is this the best SE can offer for its new flagship?? No 3.5mm jack, no micro USB port, and still uses its proprietary port which is dead slow? And also not to forget very poor battery life. 1000mAh?? Come on guys..you have 12mp camera..symbian OS..graphic chips..what the hell are those SE guys thinking?? And they claim up to 11h talking time?? Almost the same as omnia HD 1500mAh...lol... I used to love SE phones but now they keep making me frustrated. They are just too stubborn and refuse to follow the trend like what Samsung is doing right now. Better buy samsung or at least nokia if you want a smartphone.
