That's not true. My complaints are always about the OS (and a few other minor niggles) but the Satio has an awesome camera, good media player and many other nice things - but I am not one to sweep the problems under the carpet.

I say what I do because I want things to be fixed. I've said things before that have helped lead to changes and improvements (and not just me, I might add for the benefit of the other people who prefer to give constructive criticism as against simply saying 'it sucks' with no qualification) and want Symbian to get out of the mess its in. If they don't listen, there won't be a Symbian OS this time next year in my opinion - unless Nokia just puts it into virtual hibernation for a year and relaunches it in 2011.

This thread (below) is a good place to post differing opinions. I think it confirms that while there are lots of things to frustrate you about the OS (or should I say the UI to be more accurate), people are generally willing to compromise in order to enjoy the good things. This is what I hope my review concluded - as it did with the Samsung I8910 HD.

You had the i8910 before the Satio?
Where does the Satio beat the i8910?

I still have the I8910 HD and there are key differences like the capacitive touchscreen (which makes a big difference and I hope SE uses this on its next Symbian device, if they make one) and HD video recording. The AM-OLED screen does also mean that I've never had the battery problems I've experienced on the Satio. Oh and (on some firmware builds) there's the excellent 3D task manager that would look great on the Satio, N97 etc.

But, the Satio has an awesome camera and feels more like a phone, plus it has a nice SE front-end that beats the Samsung widgets or the usual S60 stuff.

Swings and roundabouts really - the I8910 HD is an excellent package, and like the Satio, let down by the OS. However, it seems that Samsung has walked away from Symbian now* - so how long will they be supporting the platform?

(*I don't want to start rumours flying, but I've been told there's no Symbian device on the 2010 road map so far - hence you could class this as walking away, even if they are still a licensee)

Go > menu > settings> personal> profiles> touch on the profile you want your ringtone and sms tone to be,> personalise> then set.

1 very bad point is that you will need to scroll through a long list if you happened to download a lot of songs into your card. Good luck.
