Sony Ericsson Satio Preview

Sony Ericsson Satio is the official name for the Idou that the company announced back at MWC 2009. It´s Sony Ericsson´s first in several respects – it is the company’s first phone to sport a 12-megapixel camera, the first to run Symbian S60 operating system and ultimately, the first all-in-one device that we hope can warm the hearts of high tech buffs...

The Satio's front looks more classy than the other phones, although I do wish they would quit using these humongous, clunky lens covers.

When it comes to features, it becomes obvious why Sony Ericcson is loosing market share and paring down their work force.

I don't know behind what rock their product managers are hiding behind...
.
its your top of the line device?
.
1) give us headphone jacks (yeah, try not to annoy your customers with little shit for once)
2) give us HD recording, (beat Samsung with 30fps and better audio recording)
3) give us HDMI output and a wide variety of codec support.
4) lose that clunky lens cover and use the space for more battery
5) given that you're the Cybershot company, put a lil tripod attachment on the bottom!
.
For a Sony device (the one non-apple company with a long standing claim to specializing on supplying gear to the creative talent of the planet) This should definitely have HD video recording, (coming out a half a year after Samsung's i8910) Maybe a less obvious reason HD recording is so great, is cause its enough resolution to pull really nice stills from the footage. And stills pulled from video footage will often give you a capture of the very best moment, when you slow-mo through them in your video editor.
.

So, Don't be lamers and many more people will buy your phones.

I do agree with you to some extent but not fully. I'd been using SE for long time, but switched over to Nokia 5800 for the reason obvious to all. SE has been living in denial for long time. They have even gave statement that nobody wants full touch screen without keypad (such a short sightedness). They had quite a head start as compared to Samsung and LG but they lost the advantage when they tried to impose on users their choices. Now things are getting back to where they should be. Satio is just an example of that. They are behind the competition in many fronts such as HD recording, 3.5 mm Jack and most importantly in innovation. Nobody wants to buy a new mobile just because it has got extra megapixels. One looks for features which are innovative and exciting, at the same time easy to use. They have got to get it right this time. Give what customer wants than give them what you think they want. And give them at the price they can afford. Be more competitive. I still feel that SE can recover from this mess but surely it will be their last chance.

Awaiting for Samsung Pixon 12. This prototype 12 mega pixel quality not impress me. The image quality is just so so. I can't judge on it since it is prototype. Wish SE look more on it and final product will give us wow, don't only up the mega pixel but not the quality of the lens.

They call it Entertainment Unlimited and it neither has a 3.5 music jack nor usb micro, not to mention lack of music equalizer.

Hey everyone, does anybody know if there's a confirmed release date for the Satio? I just heard about this phone the other day and I'm way excited for it. I've been trying to upgrade to a next-generation phone for awhile now, but hadn't found one I really wanted until I saw the info video for it (which you can see at http://modestcomplexity.blogspot.com/2009/07/satio_17.html). I really think this is finally a phone that's not just a poor man's attempt at an iPhone - a 12 megapixel camera alone is already better than my normal digi cam!

And not that this really makes the phone any better, but I really dig the song in the info video, "Under Control" by Rootbeer. It's fun, fit the whole image well, and still doesn't come across like one of those iPod commercials.

i have had a play on this device, and it was very nice, a few lagging issues withthe keyboard when switching from portait to lanscape, it doesn't automatic switch from mini qwerty to full qwerty, which is a shame but hopefully they should update that before the release, but the typing is really good, almost as good as on the htc magic

I called the Sony Style store in my area and asked if they're going to receive the Satio. They said that they never even heard of it before. I know the release date is next week, but I can't find it for the US.
