The Satio features the finest ever camera we've seen on a mobile phone. Its 12MP sensor, coupled with a Xenon flash, delivers fantastic shots whether you're outdoors in the daytime or sat in a dimly-lit pub.

The 12megapixel Cybershot camera with a Xenon flash is exemplary.
We would have liked to be able to download applications straight to the handset, and the lack of a 3.5mm headset means we can't get the most from that Walkman music player.
The Sony Ericsson Satio is a solid mobile phone with a 12.1 megapixel camera and large touchscreen. You can use finger swipe shortcuts on the home screen, and theres an excellent multimedia menu as well as GPS and Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, the lack of a ...
