ive had many instances where the satio went awol and i had to take the battery out. i dont believe it was when i was attempting to receive a call but it did freeze once immediately after ending one.
there really is something wrong with the stability of the satio.

At two times, I have not been able to answer the call when the phone rang. The Satio was completely non-responsive and I had to remove the battery. Has anyone else experienced this?
Yep I had a couple of times too last week.. same fix as well.. had to remove the battery.

Found this info on Facebook satio page.
It seems Sony is updating the Firmware.
A new beta firmware is out on Sony Ericsson's Emma client. A friend had installed it and the equalizer appeared in the music section. have to check what more changes are there.
have seen some users say they have a Facebook app also after upgrading thru EMMA
sorry, i just checked emma, and there's no such thing as new firmware at the moment. Can u tell me what version it is, because all i see is R1BB041 for all regions...and yes, i'm talking about EMMA.

Guys,
Just to let you know i've emailed SE via the Satio support page today to try and find aout about a persistent problem (will detail below for those who are interested) and have been told. (Apologies for length of post):
"If the issue persists, we would suggest that you update the software on your Sony Ericsson handset. However, the updated version of the software you require is unavailable until week 48 of 2009. When available, this can be done free of charge using our Sony Ericsson Update Service tool. To carry out the update you will need internet access and a USB cable."
So, a bit of a 'Don't know what's causing it, hope software update cures it' response, but marginally comforting as week 48 begins approx 23/26th Nov, depending on how you define it.
The problem is that any new photos taken do not appear in the media software or in the home page 'recent photo' tab. Essentially everything works fine during the camera/capture process but when you return the photos are nowhere to be seen. The photos are however correctly filed/foldered and viewable if you navigate to them via FIle Manager. Ok, but not ideal. I am able to use the image whilst still in camera mode, i.e. MMS etc.
A forced media refresh is the obvious solution and indeed what SE suggested. This lasts for about 1 min and then crashes the phone and reboots. (Fading to black, then pure white screen then reboot the normal way. Happens everytime. New music gets picked up fine though and seems ok on that front. This is an unbranded carphonewarhouse handset and i have taken 2 back, this is the thrird. Same problem on all three. It's so fundamental, i.e. to the uninitiated it looks like the camera is unable to save. that carphonewarehouse seem happy to accept as a faulty handset each time. I feel i could do this forever, but not helping as everything else on phone works fine. Tried muliple memory cards too. My latest theory is that it may be SIM card related as i can't find reference to the above problem anywhere on any forums.
I am still going to pursue the memory card idea by reformatting both i have and trying that. I have also tried taking sim/batt/card out and then rebooting without mem card and this worked for one photo! Then back to situation above. the other strange thing is that when i got my 2nd and 3rd handsets i restored the contact with backup via pcsuite and the photo problem was solved...for 2 days...then back to above situation. Very, very strange. Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Slight update on the above if you're interested: It seems to be to do with number of files the media manager can deal with. If i remove all files from the memory card. Refresh the media, it doesn't a) crash and b) from that point on photos work. but...i want music and phtoos on my memory card
...roll on next week's firmware update...

It seems like the phone isn't intended to be used with that many pictures or music tracks, or no proper use cases were set up during the design phase. There is no possibility to "zoom out" from the monthly view if pictures to scroll year by year, and if you have many pictures stored, it's very tedious to try to scroll to the other end of the list of pictures.
The same goes with the music player: If you have many music tracks, from more tha na hundred albums, and from more than a hundred different artists or bands, it's tedious to scroll down ti the desired track. A proper use case description should certainly have indicated the need for a textual search function for albums, artists and titles.

1. I have 1200+ music files, Satio found them all, just give it enough time. Lack of search mong them is RIDICULOUS, I fully agree.
2. Photo is working fine for me including zoom. However using a digital zoom is rather idiotic - it's essentially
cropping afterwards,
why the hell would anyone use a digital zoom?
3. Generally speaking I never had any crash or slowdown or any bug during the past 1+ week I own this phone except RoadSync's (3rd party preinstalled app, made by DataViz) inability to work with Google (logs in then gives you an error log so it isn't a crash either.)

mine too (over a week now) has not had any of the photo issues that 66stephen99 has come across.
I've got about 800 tracks and 120 photos at the moment .... you can search just tracks or just file names
but it's from the search function NOT from within media - daft !!

Never found any bugs on mine, except that my Satio doesnt support class 6 microSDHC's. Other than that, everything seems fine. Got over 300 pics and I never experienced any problem. I bought the phone sim-free/unbranded
