Rubbish. The Satio has been a failure.
Why ask the question then?
I just found mine a frustrating at first but after a bit of customising I really do enjoy it now.
P.S. I found it very clever of
to place the manual on the memory card. Save the planet and all

se80 you say you hate symbian, so why do rant on about how good samsung and nokia are, when they too run symbian in the phones you mention. So I think now we all get the message you hate your Satio, well I hatemy N97, and now use a Satio, and I am more than happy with it, I too have used Ericsson products from day one, started with them in 1996 and have used Ericsson and SE products ever since, with the odd exception in a handfull of nokias along the way, normaly used along side a Ericsson or SE phone as well. My C905 has never been a problem, takes brilliant pics and I still use it along side my Satio. My Satio is awesome, no reboots no issues at all that have made any difference to daily running, I use it as a sat nav, camera phone and pc so have used most features of the phone, Have installed many apps on it, which are easy enough to find if your look. Why do you feel the need to carry this on any longer slagging off the Satio at every given oppotunity, just sell it and go and buy something else, Satio prices are still quite high, but if you are that sick of it, you would be prepared to cut your looses and move on. Maybe you have installed ivy software or apps on yours which is causing issues, as for the camera on the Satio, it is the best camera I have used ever. I have a Sony 8meg camera which was as good as the C905, and my Satio wins everytime, no need for anything other than the Satio, yes battery life could be better, but whats wrong with charging it everyday anyway.

You look like a crying baby se80. Satio is a great phone and you should start thinking and judging things properly before you criticize them.

Had mine for 3 months now and still finding new things to do, today I changed the music player for a cooler customisable one with EQ and Kinetic scrolling, makes scrolling through music library a breeze.
Phone gets better and better the more you play with it, I have KS now in music, contacts and photo's.
Dumb phones arent called dumb for nothing, be prepared to customise and its a great phone.

If Satio's package is another failture, let see about Iphone very simple for hi-end phone and also KM900 Arena from LG this one have praise about package proper for green environment.
P.S.Totally agreed with Nightblade
not much time to play(modify) with mine much but at least I satisfied with it,
except unknown error when I'm playing music that I will have some test with another memory card by next weeks. hope this finally resolve and have fully happiness not mixed-bag like today

If it was that good why has this topic been started:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=193488
Plus there's customer reviews all over the intertet from non SE fans who hate it one site docked it a star rating due to how bad it was.
I'm not keeping a phone just because it has a good camera. What's all this about customising it? bit of a "geek" feature. What do we need on phone's practically? MSN? Facebook apps you get them on non smart phones. I have an Ipod touch that's giving me a real experience of the internet, fantastic apps, great sound, top notch build and speed. May even consider a Iphone in the future.
If Satios that good why do I not want to go and play with it and put stuff on it? It's boring, complicated maze menus. Some features I don't use like Word viewers, sat nav, better video have all been on LG's for years. Credit to SE for catching up with the market however Symbian is slow, and build quality is poor. I think usability and build quality are first call on a new phone.
As I say camera is top notch. However I don't have the money to waste on keeping a phone just for a good camera. I don't like the feel of it even as a camera too cheap compared to the C905 days. Satio's upgrade is just everything I don't want.
Apps - got my Ipod
Sound quality - Realistically it's very tin like, poor, lacks good quality. W995 beats it.
Software - Very very slow which makes using the phone hard.
Build - poor as I said.
File Manger is no where near quick enough to find stuff but again SYMBIAN not SE's fault.
Internet - too slow same speed as my W995 but not the upgrade you want when the Iphone is soo good.
Being neutral say you want to know what the phone is good for I say movies and camera. Big screen and good camera. Music quality has been crippled so it's not an all round media phone.
Trying to think how the Satio could have been better. Obviously an alternative type of touch screen which is more responsive, a bit smaller and better materials. They should have done this:
3" inch screen
Keypad
Slider phone
Touch screen on top like Tocco Ultra
Similar size to W995 or C905 maybe a little bigger.
Camera design like N95/C905
16GB in built, 16GB card like Samsung Innov8
DivX support
TV Out
3.5mm jack
Metal case
Black/Silver
Same software as Aino with the update
12.1 MP camera, touch focus, smile detection, auto focus
HD video + Optical zoom
Applications for Word support and PDF viewer
60 Play Now Movies
Cybershot + Walkman player
Video call camera
Wi-fi
Internet radio apps
Stereo speakers
Full flash support
Photoshop application
Touch screen wise they should have gone for a 3"inch mid range model 5MP camera. 8MP pro model 3"5 inch screen with all the features of Satio maybe gave Symbian as bash for those who wanted it.
Now the above should have been the replacement for the C905. I'm sure it would have been a massive hit, all the good specs but keeping the old character.

That picture kinda looks like an ipod ripoff lol, but it's cool..
The only people I see excited by satio are
fans, regular people don't know it exists or don't bother because it is too expensive or are more concerned with apps than camera quality.
I think satio is a very cool device, I like it's design, ui and the camera seems awesome, but I like
phones... Comercially I think the satio might end up really being a failure.
