It just may be that your phone's settings for accessing internet may not be right. Call up your operator, ask them to send you the new settings over the air, install them, reboot and try google maps again.
My Satio's internet worked perfectly from the word go; but the MMS settings that the phone autoloaded weren't right and I had to ask the carrier to send them. See if this is the case with you.
Lastly, I advice you to spend a bit more time getting to know the phone better. Coming from A200, S60 is quite the change and even with SE's customization, there are things we'll miss (I miss the phone status display, for e.g.). But once you get to grips with it, S60 is quite powerful and can do some neat stuff.

@synn... i'd like to know what you mean by your comment in regards to pictures only as good as camerman...
I use the Satio as a phone mainly. I have my DSLR cam for my proper pics... of which i take a lot! I have been on National TV in regards to my images and won twice at the Stefan Buzcakley Photography competitions in the North West. So comments about only as good as camera person is tosh... if the camera is nto upto scratch then the images wont be up to scratch either. And suject of image is personal tastes.
I'm gonna have a tinker round with the settings on the phone today as only shot them in auto mode and they were full un edited images... just point and click.

So what is best initial care. Should you charge the battery immediately or discharge. If I understand it correctly the first charges should be very long. Grateful for tips.
A Lithium Ion (or Lithium Polymer) battery needs no conditioning. It will have a near full charge from the factory, but may take a few charges to get to full power.. but that's about it.

@voda_jon: Absolutely no offense meant, my friend. What I meant was that the camera sees what the cameraman wants to see. Perhaps I should have worded it better.
I'm a photographer too and I know very well that photography is subjective. Trust me, as long as you're happy with your pictures, there's not one opinion you should heed to.
Again, apologies if it came across in the wrong sense.

The thing where the phone has no smilies in the texting menus. Its the same on other s60 touch devices.

Hi Everyone
So I finally bought the Satio yesterday, haven’t had much time to play with it yet apart from send a few texts, but have to say my initial thoughts are that of disappointment. I’ve just changed from a c905, and as a big texter all the features i was used to have disappeared, such as conversation view, recently texted list, and the Satio doesn’t even have Smiley/Emoticon support!
I had a lot of trouble with my c905 like most people, I think i was on my 7th model, but when it did work it was amazing, and it just feels like I’ve gone from a smooth working easy to use interface, to something basic and clumbersome, I’m having a lot of trouble with the resistive screen as well, i didn’t really believe the horror stories i had read, but using it for myself is driving me mad! I’m really having to press hard, and sometimes it doesn’t respond until I’ve pressed it about 5 times!
Starting to regret buying it now I think
Although i would recommend to anyone wanting to buy it, Dont buy it sim-free it’s around £500, i got mine from the carphone warehouse on pay as you go for £400, It’s exactly the same as sim free, unlocked with no branding, but they bundle an orange sim card with it, so it really is alot cheaper.
It is a bargain at that price for sure, thing is, anyone who expects an iphone/Androidesque TS experience from a resistive screen is always going to be disappointed, if one looks at the Satio with a view to it being a Photo-centric device 1st, and Multimedia phone 2nd, then it fit's the bill very well indeed.

I thought the comment was merely about the quality of the photos, not the actual photos or the composure.
I mean, the ones I took weren't works of art - just a few pics taken on my way to/from work. I haven't had a proper chance to go out and take proper test photos yet - and probably won't for a few days.

Yes, on a second read, that's exactly what McKinley meant. Just a bit of brain-fart from my end.
My sincere apologies to Voda_Jon.
When speaking about the overall appearance of the images, I've seen that the beach/ snow mode enhances saturation and contrast compared to the normal mode. The standard images that come out of the Satio have muted colors in traditional SE style. A lot of people however equate saturation to "Quality", so i think SE has boosted it in the final firmware. I'll confirm once I get the update.

They certainly seem to have increased the saturation on the Aino, and it looks well over the top (in my view), but I guess you're right that people equate this to quality.
Wasn't it true that the default settings on televisions are different in Europe/USA to Japan/Korea - one liking high contrast, vivid colours and the other preferring more muted colours (but I can't remember which way around!).
I wonder if SE is going to start making adjustments based on the intended market (based on region specific firmware)?
