Now, the most important thing is the power consumption of the various models that use the battery. The Satio is quite power hungry, to put it mildly.
Absolutely and thanks for background

It's hard to give any realistic data. When I first got it, I was playing with it all the time - installing stuff, watching films, playing BBC iPlayer etc etc.
Clearly when you begin to use it 'normally', as well as having charged the battery a few times, it should perform better - but if you've got it syncing your contacts, email and calendar - getting the latest Tweets, checking Facebook, watching films... well, it's going to die just like any other multimedia device. Oh, and using the camera and Xenon flash a lot...
But you have to accept it, and I've accumulated a fair few BST-33 batteries, so I'd simply carry a spare so I could properly enjoy the phone without holding back.

You should have bought it on Pay as you go!
I got mine from them yesterday, £400 unlocked and with no branding, the only difference is they bundle an orange sim card with it!
I saved £100!

Can anyone else confirm that the PAYG Satio on Orange from Carphone Warehouse is unlocked and unbranded please. Went to my local store and as usual they were as much use as a chocolate tea pot. After first telling me Satio wasn't available on PAYG (even though I was pointing directly at the ad!) they insisted that all their phones were locked... oh, and then they said it didn't matter any way as they had none in stock.
Not doubting Gregpot but just want to make sure as I don't want to have the same hassle I had with my son's 5800 recently that was sold as unlocked but wasn't.
Thanks
Adam

Op,
please post pictures of the retail product FAST! Also would LOVE to see a video of the games that ship and their performance. Also the email program - in's/out's - of it.
Thanks for the news.

I was very surprised to see it on Pay as you go as well, as normally they only come out on it a few months after, not on release date!
My brother in law is also a manager at phones 4u and he said it surprised him as well!
So i went in to Carphone warehouse ready to buy it sim free for £500, was abit sceptical about giving them my money as I’ve had alot of problems with them in the past, but when i saw it for sale unbranded and unlocked on PAYG for only £400, there was no question of where i would buy it from!
Also I couldn’t find anywhere that would sell it me sim free and with insurance, not an option after paying £350 for a c905 and dropping it down the toilet!! So this was ideal for me!

Tale of two Carphone Warehouse stores:
So I saw this news and rushed out to buy one. Victoria Street (London) store couldn't be more helpful. Even saw me browsing at phones and waved a Satio under my nose. Told him, "yes please" at £400 on Orange PAYG, unlocked, unbranded. It really is. Unfortunately, he went to the back room and the last one was "reserved". Told me he could order me one for tomorrow.
I hedged my bets and thought, I'll try another CW. The idiots in St James Park tube CW had plenty, but told me they weren't available on PAYG no matter how much I showed them the price ticket and told them that Victoria Street would do it, just that they had no stock.
Frankly, I don't want to give the St James Park idiots my money. And told them that. Was going to splash £400 on the counter there and then, but now they can ram it.
God, I hate the inconsistencies of Carphone Warehouse. Why do they treat their customers like idiots? Especially for such vast sums of money?

Gregpot,
Can you tell me which store you purchased from please. Every store I phone locally refuses to sell one on PAYG despite it being clearly advertised.
