According to rumors and pictures, it doesn't.
This thread is about Satio anyway.
I have read there will be a Satio Lite with "just" 8 Mp camera.
It will be announced at MWC 2010

@jmcomms

A number of us have been saying/predicting the death of Symbian for a while now, I can think of ares, Boinng and a few more.

There's talk of SE dropping one OS to concentrate on only two and we all know Android is the new king in SE's smartphone OSs so it is very much safe, which leaves Windows and Symbian to fight for it.

Windows is struggling and is not getting any attention from users while Symbian has a large user base, mainly because of Nokia, but is a loser when it comes to competing with Apple's OS, Android and even Palm's. Licensing fees versus 'open source' are what SE will have to consider.

I know I am jumping the gun here but I wish SE dumps Symbian cause in my view it serves them no purpose at all. Just look at the excellent Satio ruined by S60! I know it's not the 'new' Symbian but I bet the changes are just going to be cosmetic. Come to think of it, UIQ's death was the beginning of the end for Symbian. And to to think I lamented SE for dropping the best mobile OS ever.

I am using Gamrin XT mobile on Satio. Works fine with automatic lanscape too.

The problem is when I copy the data from the Garmin original Micro SD card to the 8 Gb card, it doesn't work anymore : It asks me to buy license or to use the trial version !!

Can anyone help?
Thanks

I've heard about the 'lite' version, which would make sense purely from a point of view of getting another S60 device out quick and easy - but the Satio isn't that expensive and I reckon it will fall in price quite quickly.

If they made an Aino with a Xenon flash, or indeed put the 12.1MP sensor in, then that would seal the fate of S60 even quicker (from SE's perspective). Obviously, that sensor is going to feature in many handsets next year - so I guess this is almost a given, even if there aren't any specific rumoured/leaked details as yet.

I too believe that bad as WinMo is, it might make more sense for SE to continue supporting over S60 in the future, if they want to have any chance of getting into the business arena - where there's quite a lot of money to be made.

I'm told that in 2010 they'll be almost scrapping entry level handsets (it's an area they never seem to have done well in) and almost every handset will be 3G - so no more quirky 2G prepay handsets. I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems someone is at least trying to get SE back to concentrating on high-end; which since SE's inception many years ago is how they started out.

I do find Android nice, but a little boring to use.

Lets just be happy with what we have now, the Satio. It might not be perfect but its probably the best S60 handset around now.

I'd agree that it's probably the best, or maybe equal to the Samsung I8910 HD (albeit for different reasons).

9 times out of 10 its the user.

My Satio photos were awful for the first few days, now they're the best ive seen from a cameraphone.

edit: also the video quality is very good for VGA. Shame theres no stereo speakers or stereo microphones (N93 style) to make the audio better.
