Regarding that facebook app I grabbed this from the Satio Launch Blog. It is a reply from Mr Skogberg, product marketing manager for Satio:
"That facebook client was a version seen in development version of the Satio SW but a while before launch it was decided to instead use the link to x.facebook.com which has developed a lot. Personally I think that’s better than the app in X1 but that of course is a matter of taste and how you use Facebook.
I have heard the requests for an app from here before and have forwarded that feedback. I can’t make any promises though, sorry!"

Then @SonyEricssonUK on Twitter might want to check the facts before tweeting that the apps are available.
It's all very well and good having access to the mobile Facebook site (and the iPhone/x one is certainly quite good) but you're not always going to be connected - or want to be - and it's certainly quicker to have an app that can cache updates for easier offline viewing.
I guess the SE developed one was just too basic. Even the Nokia specific one isn't great (like the equally disappointing Android one). So far it's best for iPhone and BlackBerry - V1.7 for the latter being very impressive indeed.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how Gravity and Symabook develop for Twitter/Facebook.

Does the camera goes silent when we put the phone in silent mode?
As it was not possible in n95 or so on.

The camera has a separate sound control in settings, which varies by region to region. On my 'Shutter Sound' option I have four sounds and 'off'.
Some builds will not have the 'off' option and you would need to flash a different firmware on it.

Due to privacy laws it's forbidden in some countrys to have silent shutter.

Just seen a new app on my-symbian; "MumSMS+" to allow you to keep certain texts private.. all for a bargain USD$20!
I am shocked; how can anyone at Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson think they can do anything to improve the sales of apps for S60 when the developers just don't have a clue.
Then there's the Energy Saver app that turns the phone off and on at set times to save power (rather like is standard on a BlackBerry). That's another $10 please!
When is S60 going to start offering developers the ability to sell apps for iPhone App Store prices, like $1 or $2, and allow people to make money in quantity? Despite the flaws with S60, there are clearly enough devices out there so the market already exists.

Just come back from looking at the Satio in the CPW.
Have to say I was very impressed with the live model I got to play with. The touch screen was far more responsive than I expected and inputting numbers and text was twice as fast as using the normal buttons on my K850i.
Having never seen a touch device before I thought it would be fiddly and hard to get used to, WRONG it was a doddle.
Been following this thread with anticipation since Idou was announced and after reading comments here I was starting to think I'd give Satio a miss BUT
For anyone considering it, you really must go and have a play with one and see for yourself.
I dont have a clue on the spec and know nothing about Symbian but from my complete novice eyes it was fast and very enjoyable to use, also felt a lot lighter than Aino which was my other choice.
Having played with both, I prefer Satio even with adapting to a different OS.
Only things I found with the one I looked at was the lens cover was smooth to open but perhaps a touch too easy and the silver looked cheaper than I expected.
The guy in CPW took a couple of snaps in store, just point and shoot and they looked awesome on screen.
Just need o2 to do this phone for similar money I pay now and then I will be able to join you here as an owner rather than observer.

@ Bonovox - what the hell does the Daily Mail know ? they're hardly T3 magazine huh !? lol
@ jmcomms - I have no Facebook or Twitter apps installed on my unbranded handset. But then they're not something i'd miss since i dont use twitter and only use the full Facebook site and wouldnt use an app to get live updates.
As for your comments on S60, they're very true. Now ive been a member on this site for several years like youself, but i dont recall whether you have owned a S60 device before. Compared to previous S60 phones the Satio's version is very good IMO. Ive had far worse problems with S60, and as for flashy interfaces and smooth transitions, they're not something i really care about. Those are things the iPhone is very good at but then is limited because of it (apple preferring flashy interfaces first, then secondly developing technological depth of hardware and software).
@ GUCCI.011 - ive tried such apps before but to be honest they didnt seem to make much difference to my phone, but then that was my N95 8gb with its huge amount of RAM. I never once had a memory issue with that phone.
@ MLAM - i have none of those problems. It might just be a faulty first batch of handsets like which is very often the case with most manufacturers handsets.
@ larry 68 - trust me you wont regret the purchase unless you're used to none-smartphones speedier interfaces.

The black one is too.. in fact, I think they all are.
And most of the SE accessories won't work with the Satio because - it may have the same port - but it's really not a normal SE phone.
To be honest, given that we're all going to micro USB, I can't understand why SE didn't use this on the Satio - and then include a 3.5mm headphone jack. There's really no point in having the connector if the accessories won't work!
The TV out cable would have worked fine via the headphone jack (or USB).
SE didn't use micro USD or the 3.5mm headphone jack for a very same reason they have changed storage media 5 times money! SE can claim licensing fees on all items made to fit "their" devices,
used to be innovators, now the best they can come up with is an overpriced Nokia 5800 with a 12mp carbuncle stuck on the back! Just save yourself the money buy the Nokia 5800 it will do everything this overpriced turkey will.

Hmmm will keep an eye on the camera.
Anyway, another issue, does anyone know how I can get the Youtube app to work with 3G/Wap? I'm on o2 contract.
Also Opera Mini works fine when I'm at home using WiFi but it doesn't seem to work when I'm not at home and using WAP/3G.
Any help on those 2 issues?
Thanks
