The Satio was meant to revive Sony Ericsson at a time when it was flagging. It is a truly admirable smartphone, with some great features – not the least of which is a powerful phone camera. Putting the camera aside for a while, the phone is a li...
Abstract: I don’t come in contact with many Sony Ericsson phones, so when it do, it’s a reason to pay a little closer attention. And so today I talk about the Sony Ericsson Satio, a phone that brings a lot to the table but not without some problems.The Sony Er...
The Sony Ericsson Satio rocks a 12.1-megapixel camera with advanced editing options and video recording. The Symbian-based phone offers 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and full e-mail support. The Walkman-style music player is also a nice bonus
The Satio uses Sony Ericsson's proprietary port for the USB connector and headset. The Web browser is a little clunky to navigate, and the Symbian user interface has some inconsistencies
The Sony Ericsson Satio packs in a lot of multimedia power, particularly in the camera department, but it also has a number of annoyances. You can get a better overall experience with other handsets and for a lot less.
Though there is still room to improve the image quality, the Sony Ericsson Satio is a pleasure to use as a camera, and is no doubt one of the best cameraphones on the market.

Abstract: Prologue: You'll have read this week about Sony Ericsson pulling the Satio from sale, pending fixes to some major bugs. As you'll see from the text below, I also hit problems, but they're not going to stop me looking at the raw hardware objectively. Wi...
The second cell phone with 12MP camera, Great night snapshots, Extremely good incall quality
Outdoor pictures could have been better, Unjustified price tag, Sluggish operational speed, No 3.5mm jack, Doesn’t support DivX and/or Xvid files
Having told you what Sony Ericsson’s first 12-megapixel, all-in-one, Symbian S60 5th Edition based handset is all about, it’s time we passed our verdict. The only advantages of the Satio over its rivals are the almost impeccable in-call quality and spl...
