Having never used a touchscreen phone before i was a bit apprehensive to get the Satio as most of my communication is usually by text but the lure of a 12 megapixel camera phone was too hard to refuse. 2 days later my new Satio 12 megapixel touchscreen beast of a mobile phone arrived and i havent put it down since.
First of all it is big but all the functions and features that come with it justify walkin around with a brick in your hand. The screen size is impressive and watching films on its 3.5" screen is a pleasure.
The texting has been a lot easier than first thought, the phone come with a styler pen and you can either have it as a mini or full scale qwerty keyboard or as alphanumeric.
Getting to the main feature of the phone itself is the camera, the picture quality is amazing, so clear and crisp its hard to believe a a mobile phone is capable of this considering the days of mobiles with big antenna's and only a " ring ring" tone taking up its full memory capacity. To me its a high quality digital camera that you are able to call and text from!!! The video quality is also very good. I took it to the Pink concert with me and instead of just a video with blurry pyrotechnic blobs you can see everything in full detail.
In the box you get the phone itself, a charger, a free 8g memory card, a cable so you can connect your phone to the tv, a usb cable, and headphones with different sized ends to fit your lugs ha.
I love this phone, it does on the odd occasion freeze but to me this isnt really an issue unless it becomes more frequent.
All in all my opinion of this phone is high, its the first of its kind and i am pleased to have it, there may be a few minor issues but nothing a software update wont rectify once sony fix the teething troubles every new product experiences.
Advantages: Good Camera, Touch screen Disadvantages: Watch the thieves, Not many colours
In my opinion the sony ericsson satio has a very tastefull appearance from every angle you look at it, it has many features including a built in sat nav which is very handy for those long journeys your not to sure of also it has a 12 mega pixel camera which in our days is a perfect feature to take with you on a day out and take memorable photos which are crisp and clear. To summarise this phone its a excellent phone all rolled in to one.
