    I've just found the SAR values on the UK official SE website:

    SAR data information for residents in countries that have
    adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International
    Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which
    is 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for example
    European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):
    The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested by
    Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is 1.58 W/kg (10g).

    What a shame...!

        Have always been a huge fan, defender & user of SE phones. But I must admit I'm very very very disappointed with the new cells and thei commercial politics:
        Wait a very long time for a product that is not top notch as they seemed to claim...

        Did you know there is no equalizer in the music player...?

        What is the SAR Value? => impossible to find it on the net...

        I love SE must I must admit that Samsung in going the good way while SE the wrong one...

        Waiting for the Satio, I've been using the Samsung Star which is a cheap phone but fun and great to use...

        Time when SE was 2 steps forwards (K750-W810) is far behind us !

          GSMarena writes that Satio support up to 32 Gb Micro SD Card. SE Writes that it supports SanDisk which largest card is 16 Gb. Where did the last 16 Gb go?

                        Anonymous, 13 Oct 2009- no internal memory!!!! 128mb is not enough? - TFT scr... moreWao so all of a sudden people became so environment consensus. LOL! That's great move you know.
                        A higher capacity battery, better screen, 3.5mm jack, xvid/divx support and most importantly a bigger internal memory...all these could only justify it's high price.
                        Yes we can always get a camcorder for better video, buy high capacity microSD card for storage, or even pay for some application to play divx/xvid videos. Now these are extra burden that SE is forcing it's users to bear. Why not price it around 600 USD then? I wouldn't mind if it's cheaper. But that's not the case. I think you can't see this basic logic and claiming other are talking crap. Think it over again!

                            - no internal memory!!!!
                            128mb is not enough?

                            - TFT screen
                            The more advance the screen, the more harming to environment.

                            - VGA video
                            If you want to capture nice video, why not to buy a camera to capture?

                            - 1000mAh lousy Li-Po battery
                            Don't judge with the value. It is quite energy efficient.

                            Conclusion : This people is just talking some crap, trying to play around with the value.

                                905903930Q&A for you :

                                Q. Idou has 12MP camera, does it mean idou has better picture quality than 8MP camera ?

                                A. Actually Mega Pixels is not about quality but size, 12MP is bigger size than 8MP so we can get more clearer detail picture when we zoom closer the picture than 8MP and also we can get a bigger wallpaper or photograph than 8MP.

                                Q. So how about with the picture quality ?

                                A. Picture Quality of this idou camera is great because Sony Ericsson use new CMOS sensor from EXMOR ( IMX060PQ, a 1/2.5 CMOS image sensor ) apparently, has the industry's highest Megapixel count: 12.25 MP with highest quality right now.it can record 1080p @ 27 fps and 720p @ 30fps video too.

                                For more information, here :

                                http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/N...E/index.html

                                Q. Do you mean Idou can record 1080p video (Full HD Video) ?

                                A. Yes. It can because the camera quality it self can record full HD video quality as long as the phone has processor speed and storage are also capable of the same speed.

                                Q. what do you think if Idou only has VGA video ?

                                A. it means SE doesn't use the camera at full quality and don't worry it must be highest VGA video quality in the world and doesn't make idou to be more expensive than use HD Video.

                                Q. how about with the price ?

                                A. The new 12.25 MP sensor is equipped with autofocus and it will be available staring March 2009. Its price is said to be of 2,500 Japanese yen ($26), so the phones to include it should not be more expensive than the 8 Megapixel ones that are already on the market.

                                Q. How about with the music quality ?

                                A. Great, it has new walkman series quality with clear audio and clear bass are the winner in Europe music technology

                                Q. does it have 3.5 mm jack ?

                                A. I haven't known it yet because SE hasn't released their full spec about this phone, the full spec will be announced in march or april.If it has 3.5mm jack that is good but it doesn't have it don't worry SE has the highest earphone quality will be included in the package.SE knows their music quality so just relax.

                                  I am thinking of ordering this phone for a few reasons one being the Cemera and video recorder.

                                  QUESTION FOR ANYONE THAT HAS THE PHONE- How does the video recording quality/Audio compare to my current phone Nokia N95 which is also VGA 30fps and exellent quality.

                                  Only video I could see on youtube was

                                  http://www.youtube.com/user/ry.../ZdLsFak_w1w

                                  Quality looks not bad but not as good as Nokia N95 would I be right?

                                  I love Sony Ericsson phones and really want to return as a customer so if someone can please help I would really appreciate.

                                    Anonymous, 13 Oct 20093.5mm jack is challenging for Se for years now :)))) SE had a 2.5mm jack on their p800 in 2003 and i dont know why they ditched it. So dont think SE finds it hard to put a 3.5mm jack on a phone.

                                      Anonymous, 13 Oct 2009i want to know what phone do you use ?I do not advertise any phone!

                                      Find the phone that fits your expectation and needs!

                                      I think Idou/Satio certainly falls óshort of the market expectation.

                                      There are more and more potential and real buyers express their disappointment.

                                      Old design, with limited and outdated specs:

                                      internal memory
                                      VGA video

                                      etc.

                                      no Divx ....
                                      no 3.5mm jack ...


                                      AS I have said months ago - Idou will be outdated at the time of release! and IT IS!
