Errr, no, you're not harsh - you are clueless.
It's actually far
better than any iPhone because it is capable of
multitasking, let alone iPhones total
crap camera.

I've got an Orange branded Satio and am absolutely delighted with it. There are a few quirks for sure, and it can be slow on occassion, though that is mainly when using the media player. However these are more than outweighed by the number of functions the phone has.
I've certainly not experienced some of the major problems that other users have and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Satio.

Sounds like there's loads of people that's very satisfied with the Satio too. I can't find a phone that's available atm that will suit me better that the Satio. Thanks for all the comments so far!

My NON-branded Satio has NO freezing or rebooting problems. No Wi-Fi disconnections either. The retail price in Greece is around 550-570 euros. I fortunately paid "only" 460. Would I buy it again if I could roll back in time? NO! It simply is not worth the price. It is just a Nokia 5800 with a much better camera, at DOUBLE the price! The Pixon 12 that I owned before took MUCH better photos and it was a complete multimedia phone with a MUCH better screen (in all terms) and MUCH better materials. The extra, silly, things that a Satio/Symbian phone can do due to their "smartness" are just...silly...unless you need it for some DEEPLY business functions...in which case Symbian has aged a lot, and you'd rather opt for Windows/iPhone/Blackberry.

Im very happy with my satio. I dont regret the money i spent on it. It looks great as well as it feels in hand. The screen is the best i ever own. Its better than some OLED screens (n85 for exemple). No hardware problems but there are some bad things but its just firmware issues that can be solved if SE want to. Lets see what the new firmware will bring...

I give up. I have ordered an iPhone instead. AFter 5 weeks of using the Satio Iīm very close to using words that are not proper in a forum like this.
Latest problems:
- battery not charging
-not being able to hear people when they call me (reinstalling firmware fixed some of it but gave me other problems)
-not being able to sync playlists with iTunes on my Apple computer (it worked at first) - computer does not find the Satio despite several attempts with various methods (including walking twice round the computer singing "Singing in the rain" in falsetto... sorry just joking)-
- not being able to use the LCD jukebox for Internet radio (I donīt know if that is caused by the Satio but itīs very irritating)
- not being able to sync earlier phonebooks
- not being able to have the radio function properly
- not being able to take snap-shots, because it takes too long time to have the camera ready for shoot - the baby smile is gone!
- most of all itīs very, very slow, and if you try to increase speed or if youīre in a hurry, the phone freezes & the restart takes a very long time (at least thatīs the feeling if youīre in a hurry)
etc - you can read my earlier statements about the phone here on the forum.
The worst thing is that itīs not possible to return the phone & get another one after these 5 weeks. Instead I have to leave it in the store, they send it for repair etc.
I think itīs below decency to hit the market with a phone that is so full of problems.
This morning at work I comparted the Satio with an iPhone - the interface of the iPhone is just brilliant. The sharp display etc etc.
So - donīt buy it (Iīll give you a VERY good price on mine though...)
