is there someone who found a call recording software for Satio?
Total Call Recorder doesn not work on SAtio, do you know a software that works well with Satio?

Hi
A Couple of annoyances I’m having:
Geo- Tagging = Why is it there? Yes you can activate it, but yet there is no option to “view on the map”, ok I know people have said you can use PC software to view the data, but who actually does this? I loved this feature on my c905, as i could just use “view on map” to look at the data.
The GPS I am impressed with, Wayfinder on the c905 was pretty poor I always thought. I forgot my TomTom yesterday, and I found a restaurant nearest to me quite easily using the WisePilot on the Satio, it wasn’t that much worse than my TomTom, and to be honest if it didn’t have a TomTom i would quite happily use it all the time for Sat-Nav if it wasn’t a limited 30-day trial.
The Geo-tagging on my c905 was only flawed as it would take ages to get a signal, meaning alot of the time it would use the approximate network signal to calculate my position, as I would have taken the picture before it had the signal. The GPS on the Satio is lightening quick and gets a signal straight away, so this feature would work brilliantly I’m sure
Conversation view: Again, after using the C905, getting used to this feature and loving it, disappointed it’s not here, Yes i can use it , but I want it integrated into messages so it’s used all the time, not just as an afterthought if I decide to open the app up.
Smiley’s: not there, pretty basic flaw it would seem!
No recently texted list: Again, pretty basic feature not there. And quite annoying.
I know alot of people would say these are flaws of all Symbian phones, but this is supposed to have been customised by S.E, they have had plenty of time to adjust the software to implement these features. So why haven’t they?
Overall, I am impressed with the handset though and wouldn’t go back to my c905, just hope these problems can be sorted with updates.
Why not install Free I-sms? and see if it works flawlessly.

The web browser is rubbish - half the screen used up for icons (especially landscape view) when most things use smaller icons.. and menus and sub-menus are not what we want for a touchscreen interface. Take a look at Safari on the iPhone, Chrome on Android or Opera Mobile / Opera Mini to see different ways of making it simple and easy.
Dude... Never spotted the full screen feature, huh?

Of course I have - but what can you do in full screen mode? Press the button to leave and then to get to the menu.
Have you noticed how the others will allow you to be in full screen mode all the time - and have OVERLAID icons (partially transparent or pop-up on demand) to access functions. Have you seen the latest NetFront browser on the Aino? Even that's better. And Opera Mini and the others.
Also, that icon that sits on the screen all the time is just lame; it's as if someone designed a full page mode as a 'damn, we forgot a full screen mode' last minute thing.

Is this your first Symbian 5th Ed (touch) device? If it was, then i don't know who's really lame....the phone or the person who's using it

Hi there, what is this programme and what does it do? I've never heard of it, where can it be downloaded from?
thanks

Thanks, I am at work at the moment but will try installing it when i get home.
Once installed, will SMS always open in this threaded program? Or do you need to open it seperatley when you want to use it?
Thats my problem at the moment, the Satio does have a conversation view program, but there is no way to set it to always open SMS in this view as a default, if i want to see the threaded view, I have to specifically open up the app to do it

I've been using S60v5 for about a year, and the web browser hasn't changed at all (Samsung excepted with the push to zoom). It's a lousy browser for a number of reasons, and I'm concerned that anyone would defend it - doing so only means it will never improve.
That said, Nokia has made some changes and included kinetic scrolling which must make a big difference - but that's Nokia specific, not platform specific, which means it's unlikely we'll get that on the Satio.

I recently used the Nokia 5530xm and found the browser fast with decent scrolling which was very brisk. Is the Satio using the same browser?
