I have just got the satio. My first impressions are it's not very Sony Ericsson I sold my W995 for this. First off the screen seems to not be very responsive atall. There's no weight in the phone, what's it made out of paper? The silver plastic at the side feels cheap won't it go all black when used for a while? Dare I say the LG Viewty and Samsung Pixon 12 feel better? The Pixon is well made and sturdy despite having the silver strip at the side. I thought it's better than a Pixon 12 as the screen is bigger.
The software just put the phone down for now Symbian is not what I am use to. Camera menus nothing like I'm use to with SE.
Can't get away from the material. More like the K850i than the C905's rubber. The buttons at the side also feel cheap. The packaging..SE in general are going the wrong way the C905 box was better my W995 was that cheap coloured stuff too and manual that looks like it's out a build up toy.
I sense a good camera out the box but as a phone? I just got a Ipod touch a few weeks back that tempted me onto the touch screen stuff as it's right up there with the Iphone. Am I too use to the Ipod?
I don't know where to start with satio. Never got a USB Adaptor out the box either that was a question I asked a few weeks back on here. Positive it takes the W995 speaker? Radio doesn't seem to work though with it..and it thinks it's a hands free.
I better go away and have a try with it..anybody inspire me into thinking this was the right choice ditching a W995 for Satio?
I guess the old SE "wow" on menus and features is gone with the old standard phones and something you don't get with a smart phone.

You don't sound happy with it at all, I'd take it back and get something else.
Personally, I would have went for Aino but I wouldn't recommend Satio to anyone who is a fan of SE's UI. You need to be a great fan of S60 to cope with it.

I changed the theme so it seems more responsive now. Usually I enjoy SE's big phones may just have to get use to it.

Cheer up mate.. the phone is not that bad as you may feel.
If you have got a itouch couple of weeks back then that is it !! No one in the market has got a touch interface as good as Apple and as such do not compare like for like.
As for the UI, it is S60 and not A200 UI so there got to be some deviations from traditional SE UI. But you will get used to it soon. Hopefully, SE brings out some big FW update along with Vivaz and then you got to see the true capacity of the phone.
I installed some great games and was amazed to see true PSP quality graphics and response. I am really impressed.
At the moment there is some bothering bugs which I believe SE is looking at in their next FW update (otherwise I will be very disheartened
)
I have W995 as well, the phone is a different built and noway can be compared to this phone. But on top of all, the camera is very good which I think very few phone cameras on the market can match up.
The otherday I checked the phone in CarphoneWarehouse. PAYG is now selling at £400 (at par with N97 mini which has lesser camera capacity) !! It was down to £350 in Dec 09. The salesman, reluctantly told me that Satio is at par with N97 Mini but better than its competitor.
I hope all these info will cheer you up !!

The Satio isn't really that bad once you get used to all of S60s crazyness

I have used s60 v5 touch and i never had a problem with it. I do worry about the poor battery life and bugs.

I don't understand why you dislike Satio that much. It isn't heavy but it does not feel cheap either. I haven't found any bugs yet and my battery is still almost full since yesterdays 12 pm. The only thing I found weak, is the vibration intensity... Otherwise, it is a great device.

I sold my Satio and went back to the w995 and must say I don`t miss the symbian OS. Besides I found the phone too large, not very pocketfriendly, not to mention the lack of EQ and RDS-radio
w995 all the way
