Vodafone UK also had to make a NOKIA N97 section for complaints,so its not just the Satio. Shame for the people who had to shell out so much for these devices.

Yes its a shame, but the real shame is that the providers such as Vodafone, and the manufacturers, such as SE are always so far behind, that they rush the final product, using the customer, the person at the end of the chain, spending their hard earned cash as the last quality control, its just not Fu****g good enough.
ARRGHHHHHHHH, Esato is a brilliant, up and running user group, why dont SE, for example tap into this and get their bloody products road tested prior to market, its the time it takes, aginst potential revenue generated, due to the scale of production, if a few thousand moan about the product,,,,so what!

Half of the problems we are seeing would be solved / fixed if the products
actually underwent a decent PAT or UAT prior to launch .... instead they
just ship 'em out and expect the long suffering punter to do the testing
for them .... I dodged the bullet on both the K850i and now the Satio so
I'm thinking I'm "blessed". I won't be pushing my luck with the X10 though !
Someone else can test that for them ......

I can image how much worse the additional vodafone firmware makes the already problematic Satio software... I really don't get why some Service providers still insist in playing around with generic mobile firmware...

SE do read many forums. In fact, I am sure that they are reading this. Staff are asked to forward on discussions like this to the global team, so they can monitor. Like many companies, it is against company policy to get drawn into such conversations.

Very few companies ever get involved, but you can be sure that they're reading them. Even obscure blogs that are linked via more established sites.

The problem is that it doesn't automatically mean things are done, especially if such threads are treated as a bunch of nerds just moaning about silly and petty things. In many cases that's what it is - especially when the fan boys get involved - but the Satio is full of too many issues to ignore. And everyone that said about the problems from the outset, like we did, has been proven correct just like the K850 and many other releases.

How true.

The same is indeed true for every S60v5 handset (and obviously other devices too). But, if you look at the problems with the 5800 and N97, then look at http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com/ to see the problems with the I8910 HD - you'll see just how bad things can be.

Nokia has pretty much fixed things up now. Samsung has also given Italian and Chinese users plenty of updates, to the point where the latest Italian ROM is pretty amazing (I'm tempted to go back to using my I8910 HD until the Satio gets an update). I wonder how long it will be until Sony Ericsson fixes all of its own issues. I guess we must have faith!

I know the HTC Hero had a few quirks when it came out, prompting a new firmware that speeded it up considerably, but it had nowhere near the issues - and that had HTC Sense & TouchFLO added on to a relatively new OS! It is actually possible to get things right from the outset if you try hard enough.

Dare I say it, having used the HTC HD2 for a bit, even Windows Mobile 6.5 is coming on well with the HTC add-on stuff. By rights, this should mean Sony Ericsson can't mess up the X10 even if it tried. Why do I think I may be proved wrong?!!!
