Best option is to buy an iPhone then get yourself a 12MP digital camera, originally had a 2G iPhone and replaced it with the Satio.Had the Satio for 6 weeks and now sold it and purchased a 3G iPhone because the UI is just sooo much better than the Satio can offer. I must confess i would of sold it sooner if it wasn't for the picture quality from the camera but i don't think that this is enough to make it a good phone, music playerb was too quiet too compared to what the iPhone can offer.

i disagree smarty. I wouldn't carry a phone AND a camera. Convergence is where its at. Todays mobiles do the majority of several devices.

Try using an iPhone for a week...I bet you would soon buy a camera too, it is just so much easier and quicker to do things on. I have had a variety of phones like K750i K800i N95 amongst others and of course the Satio and they are no match for the UI of the iPhone,i had even hacked my Satio but still in my opinion doesnt come anywhere close. I am starting to scare myself now by sounding such a "fanboy" of Apple

Apple just keeps people to tied to them and their software through iTunes. Makes no sense to what soever.

Then you have to jail break your phone to go with another network or pay waaayyyy too much for an iPhone even if you get it unlocked.

For me it is simple, by the iPhone for the UI, stay tied and unable to actually own your phone or buy any other smartphone and be truly free to do whatever you want with it. Simple.

I can sort of understand the above point but i got more for the Satio than i payed for the iPhone,admittedly i did have to JB it as i'm on a VF contract but i have done this myself at no cost within the first 5 minutes of it arriving so can't really see it as a problem. As for being being too dependant on iTunes once it's jailbroken there are other options as i'm sure you are aware.

Hi,
Definitely the Satio! The Sony Ericsson Satio is an awesome all-in-one multi-media phone with the best Cyber-shot and Walkman experience from Sony! It is the best camera phone. Especially with that 12megapixel camera equipped with a Xenon flash! It also has cool features like Face Detection and SmileSutter. It also records amazing videos in high quality with LED flash. Its user interface are also one of the best 'cause it has really fun and animated effects! It has a large 3.5inch touchscreen which you will truly enjoy watching you movies and viewing your photos! It also has really fast internet and uploading. Its truly a multi-media phone that has everything you need to be entertained packed in it!

The Satio has a very good camera, but that alone does not make a good phone. In every other respect, the iPhone is a far better, far more functional, far more reliable device.



I don't really get this. Yes, it's true that in order to backup/sync the phone then you need iTunes on your computer - but you aren't "tied" to Apple through that, at its heart iTunes is simply a media management app, no more and no less. You don't have to run your whole life through it, and you don't have to go anywhere near Apple or the iTunes store to use it, just drag and drop whatever you like from whichever other source you prefer. Think of it as a big shared folder, it's nothing more sinister than that.

Yes, to buy/install apps (legitimately) you need to use the iTunes appstore (either on the phone or on your PC). This evil monopoly has resulted in the widest selection of applications ever available for any mobile device, at prices far lower than on any other platform, all wrapped up in the single easiest installation and update path imaginable. All of which actually makes a LOT of sense, once you get past the kneejerk "oh noes, evil Apple has my credit card!" reaction.



Depends where you are and which network you buy from - O2 recently unlocked my iPhone 3G for free, officially through iTunes, even though I still had five months on my contract at the time. I can already use it with any network, and I've never jailbroken.

Good thing I never had this problem with my iPhone because it's already factory unlocked when I bought it from Timtechs. I have to agree with SMARTY1972, you can't rely on just one particular feature of a phone especially the camera. There are a lot of good quality digital cameras out there that are cheap. Personally, i would prefer a phone that are good in other ways than just the camera since i can easily get one for less than $100

I must say that in as much as I believe that Apple over prices their products and leaves one tied to them too much they have done well in making the iPhone a phone that comes with little hassle and no major headaches and waiting and longing for firmware updates.

That, the other manufacturers need to learn from Apple. Otherwise, only the UI on the iPhone wins.
