Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou) 12 MP Cameraphone Hands-On

[braintrain5000]

Fake review... This phone has manufacturing fault with the battery, as it doesn't last more then 12 hours with minimal use. Bad phone, Fake and Paid review.

[deathforce2]

are u on crack?

[126356]

@Myuzaki at 3:02 he's holding the phone at a fukin angle; in real life the phone is a rectangle not a square ;p

[Umairs2004]

Hahahaha i like your honesty yea ur pictures taken by u are ugly lol

[Raygenn]

So nice to see not only the big mega pixel count but..

Wow that is an ugly picture of me right there

LOL

[kyywii]

can i use att 3g sim card with sony ericsson satio?

[krakenblast]

Why does all Sony Ericsson phones make sound when takin photos? I don't wanna let a beautiful woman know that I'm takin a photo of her! Why can't Sony Ericsson adopts the 3.5 jack also!?

[31CHY]

@krakenblast

w995, x1 and x10 gor 3.5mm jack... shame the satio dosn't ahev :(

You can switch off the shutter sound

[amazighNlibya3000]

hey dude

[ryanyao08]

hahah the screen is wide stretch, so when he turns it horizontal its longer and thinner and when its vertical its short and fat.

currently have the n97 but waiting for satio to arrive. (For $155usd, figure great deal so might as well)

can't wait to have n97 and satio side by side for comparison... let me know on my profile if anyone interested in seeing the comparison!

[consonantzzz]

what a rubbish?

[ajayronin1]

wtf its squre shape at initial stags then it converts to rectangle and again it converts to square...................

[ajayronin1]

[vexor12]

[tiger2hunt4me]

how is the satio VIDEO camera??

does it shot hd or as bad as c905?

thnx PLZ replay

[SICK472]

can you please tell me what macro means on camera options and what infinate mean s thanks ???

[Osirisset]

@SICK472 Macro is used to get real close shots ie: takining a pic of a flower or a bug.

And infinite is probably the focal range for the camera when using the auto focus.

[ciberhormaza]

GPS need's internet conection??

[jjrosaria2]

they download maps using internet so GPS navigation, yes you need internet but for geo tagging i/m pretty sure you don't

[eyadmayy]

@ciberhormaza no dosent need internet

[Myuzaki]

okay. WHAT THE HELL I SWEAR IM SEEING THINGS!

at the begining of this video the phone was a perfect small square and then at 1:37 its a long rectangle. and then at 3:02 its a perfect square again!! WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS PHONE?! IS IT A MAGIC SHAPE CHANGING PHONE?!

WILL IT BE A TRIANGLE NEXT?

[Strawu]

@Myuzaki this is because of the film format

its stretched so it seems very long when he holds it sideways and fat in the other way

[Dauglashalfve]

@Myuzaki called widescreen haha xD

[starscream3413]

lol

[webwebwebi]

It's most possibly the wide-angle lens of the recording camera.

[vietprideee]

@Myuzaki hey its a rectangle

[victoirclochard]

@Myuzaki

its because the video is in 4:3

but utube shows it in 16:9

[SkydinZeal]

@Myuzaki lmao, I noticed that too, whatever camera lens is filming him in this vid has spacial distortion, when he brings things closer they warp horizontally.

[KPGC10GTX]

Great review, I got the phone in red and love the colour :D

And btw, Noah, does your dog juggle?? LOL :)

[matthewfoong]

i might get this. but if i do it would be on pay as you go and i would have it for years and years to come. is that realistic. would it probably break after years.

[carloenix]

they fixed the bugs

[333soijin]

@carloenix what bugs it had?

[thechowzer]

i heard that the sony ericsson satio has some bugs

[daskiai]

What service is it going to be used on?

[OverratedDramaQueen]

its on vodafone i no im goin 2 get 1

[liljames2215]

i hope it with tmobile

[sarikaru]

do you know when it comes out in washington?

[jujjuj123]

Can this be used with AT&T?

[xXxKILLADZxXx]

yea it can as long as it is unlocked

[jujjuj123]

thanks

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

if it uses sim cards then it will work on any carrier with a sim card even ones that are out of the country

[alimaan1]

plz can you tel me if it has vedio camera

[snakeinthegrass20]

yes

[jujjuj123]

It has an amazing camera. 12 megapizels one of the best camera phones in the world actually.

[fidodidocudeiro]

NICE

[dvsmireles]

holy shit 12 mp! that insane

[CozmoNz]

They are still Phone cameras... Its not going to take better photos than say a Canon 400D Camera (which is only 10mpix). the sensor size is what matters.

[devilax96]

@CozmoNz dude its dumb to compare a professional camera with a mobile phone

[BlueXiaoDinDang]

@CozmoNz 400D Is a DSLR... please .... this is just a phone...

[6m6o4h4a1m7e8d]

i think it 299 on a contract when it comes out

[jdude2211]

2:16 HAHAHA

[fidodidocudeiro]

HOW MUCH!!!!!!!

[Gust0561]

This or Samsung Jét?

[ghostfaceofdeath]

You're viewing this video for a reason my friend.

One word...

Satio Rocks!!! (or maybe two...) =p

[bigpizza112]

I HATE PEOPLE WHO FALL FOR THIS 12.1 MP SHIT. YOU will not,not,not see any difference on a 12 mp camera or 5 mp camera.... Why???? Because the lens and sensor is the same!!! You will get LARGER pictures with more mp. So, now think on that. THERE IS 0 difference on your phones little screen. However It will take more MEMORY!!!! And it will only help you if your prining out.... Frikkin big papers.... 12 mp wont fit my computer screen.... I don't get how people can fall for se's marketingbullshit.

[jimmybobs87]

the difference is 7MP lol. and yes you can see a difference, its better quality, and sharper..

why people fall for it is because they want a good camera, and a good phone, so what do you get? the satio.

[bigpizza112]

@ Jimmyboybobs87.... You are wrong. Maybe if you listen to the words EXACTLY you will understand.

mega PIXELS. Get it??? PIXELS! how many PIXELS has satio on its screen???

More Clarifications: Satios 12 mp = 6016 pixels x 2000 pixels (maybe wrong. I dont have time to call se.)

Now you have a display that shows 360x640. U see now?

So when you are looking at a image on your satio Your looking at 1.2 mp ,90% of the pixels are thrown out the door to make it fit your little screen. YOU SEE?

[jimmybobs87]

so lets see, a little phone like the, say sony ericsson c902 with a 5mp cam is the same quality as the 12.1mp cam on the satio? some how i dont think so.

the screen is a hd screen so images will look better.

and i dont think it has anything to do with how many pixels the satio has on screen. its a nice 3.5inch screen that more or less hd, with over 16mil colour display.

[bigpizza112]

Dude. It's like trying to go 300km/h inside a city. YOU WILL MAKE LARGER PICTURES. THE PICTURE WILL BE SCALED DOWN FROM 12 MEGA PIXELS TO 1.2 MEGA PIXELS to fit your tiny screen. DOo you understand? or type into google: mega pixel scam.

[syryoyoboy]

dude the pictures the satio takes in 12.1 mp mode is 4000x3000 pixels

[bigpizza112]

Ok, good. I did tell you that I didn't know the exact numbers. but yes, 4x3=12.

[tiadaid]

you take pictures just to see it on your phone screen? then the satio's definitely not for you. on the other hand, if you're the kind of person who often prints their mobile pics, then satio is the ultimate.

[bigpizza112]

yes but even then it won't fit a standard photo paper. you will still be wasting alot of mp.

[EcBuddy123]

wats better the samsun pixon12 or this one? i wan to shoot good vids for utube and do browsig on the web and put music on my phone from my computer and stuff

[syryoyoboy]

this one

[EcBuddy123]

realy? is it coming to usa? cause i know it is coming out and in some places it is but y is this better?

[syryoyoboy]

yeas its commin to usa and its better because it got a bigger screen and it cost less then the pixon 12

[EcBuddy123]

wow when and to wat carrier??? and how much?

[syryoyoboy]

it will come before xmas but i live in sweden so i cant tell you how much it costs,sorry

[EcBuddy123]

really? cool do u know wat carrier? and oh its ok i might end up just buying it without a contract just want to knoe the carrier l0l

[syryoyoboy]

at&t or t-mobile

[EcBuddy123]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! l0l thats cool so before christmas or turtkey day?

[jonnydorobantul]

Omnia HD has 8 Megapixel camera....u r bouth dumbass :))))))...use google for full specification...:))))...dumbas­s...:)))

[RoverSD1V8]

What a terrible review! You managed to talk for three minutes without giving any useful detail about the way the phone works! The only feature that you really show, was the embarrassing slow startup time and terrible white balance of the camera which is no better that my old w810i! Next time spend more of the review looking at the menu, ergonomics, text and web features and less on the color or taking useless test shots of your chin!

[southsiderom]

Omnia is better....HD filming option...same 12 Mp camera...this one sux

[MattXXXMan]

is the omnia 12 mp? i tohught it was like 8 or summat, still ace tho, nothing wrong with this phone

[syryoyoboy]

all omnias has eather a 5mp or a 8mp camera

[jonnydorobantul]

Normal Omnia has 5 Mp, and Omnia HD has 8 megapixel....

[syryoyoboy]

and the omnia lite got a 3.2 mp and omnia 2 got a 5 mp camera

[mattft86]

i have this phone it is a great phone but if u have the k800 k850 c905 w595 it will take u some time to get used to the menu on this phone it's taken me 2 day to set it up and setting up the internet and wifi was a bit tricky

[csnooby]

so u mean it is worth to buy?

[mattft86]

yes it is good phone i hate silly little peopel that comment on a phone they dont have

[pregnantnproud]

@ PHONEDOG i'll be honest that camera boot up time is no faster than before.

[QedriKurd22]

booww fuck sony ericsson

[WindWalkz]

lol ugly face. i have a sony ericsson w595 but I WANT THAT FONE

[SuperRawrXD]

i want this ;D

[redmonster777]

is it full touchscreen like the omni HD??? If so , why does it have a stylus?? Please Reply....i'm hesitating between the 2. thnx

[eksmoker]

Sorry, but for me it is hideous. Yeah it is innovative 12 MP bla bla. But for example when I saw the C905 (Shiho) I was trilled and anxious to have it and finally I got it. Maybe (I don't know) I hate touch screens. This phone is so similar to Nokia 5800 xpress music. This is mine opinion I don't want to say something rude

[davidangelit0]

Give me your phoneee!!! ♥_♥ I like this phone.

[erikazilla]

what about the optical zoom? none?

[muncierobson]

i just ordered this as upgrade, i got an i pod already and 12mp for pics is phenomenal!

[stoneisland1314]

does anyone know how to change the msg tone  to my own one instead of useing the built in ones

[razorraisbeck]

if my dog was juggling.. i'd make a fuckin' video.

[ShaunJ4Y1873]

Coz the iphone is the best selling phone in the last few years so it needs competition aka an iphone killer

[ShaunJ4Y1873]

this is the iphone killer like the iphone is starting to get old i mean 2mp with no cam is SO shit but the multi touch screen is still the best on a phone ps. i have iphone jailbroke so i have camcorder lol xD but i want dis

[aminuk23]

why it all companies has to be iphone killer or murderer? every and each phone has its own things get over it.

[Tr4ncehe4d]

How is the flash in the dark? I am surprised none of the reviews test this??

[ICMediaUK]

The iPhone is a load of junk. Your just paying for the name, there are better phones out there, this is one of them.

[theSPUDereHD]

its pronounced Sachio

[fullgubben]

Í think that apple will develop a new iphone with a monster camera, so they will kick SE so hard!

[countquackula]

yes but sony MAKE CAMERAS, apple dont.

[fullgubben]

true true! And they are awsome too ;) but i think that apple will develop cameras :)

peace

[XxPitBikexX]

look at this web site for any service unlocked authentic legit web site EUROPEAN for good cell phones

[MaSrIe1980]

if u don't own it or see it urself then don't judge...

Satio is out in UK, Germany, France, & Sweden.

[kennlimbhsss]

no offence but this phone is fucking uggly.

[2006goto]

Beauty or uggly: You may think it's uggly, I think it's beautiful, he may think so so... But I LOVE IT... Beauty, camera, huge screen... Sony Ericsson 8D

[Stobart0]

Mine one turns Up on Tuesday!!

[hancerfuat]

This cow is homo :-))))

[soangelnic]

I got the silver 1 as I thought it was a bit more girly than the black & its super cute!! so easy to use, v quick on the camera & connecting to the net. LOVE IT!!!

[mickey20009]

How much did you pay for it in USD please.

Are u satisfied with it.

For me 2 things are missing in this cell, qwerty keyboard and 3.5mm audio jack.

[akki999]

it has two touch qwerty keyboards - a mini one which just takes up the bottom of the screen in portrait mode (only really any good if you use the pointer or you have the world's tiniest fingers), then a big full screen one where you need to physically turn the phone round landscape. it's also got a 3.5mm jack socket on the remote so you can easily connect it up to an amp or headphones.

[GREALDO21]

ball juggling dog!!! lol =]

[ylafia]

i wonder if they will ever make a phone with optical zoom.

[supermacisawesome]

the phone im hopefully getting for christmas :D , actually cant wait but i think i like it best in black :), much better than the i phone for anyone who is asking my bestfriend has an i phone and she has had it for a month and it has crashed twice and its crap camera

[DriftK13]

I think 3mpx are good cameras. 12 is far too much and it's for poster sized things...

But yeah great phone incredibly huge camera and i like it in Black too. The red is nice but too flashy and the silver doesn't match the black frame around the screen

[simeonnvp]

JUST WENT AND SAW THIS PHONE, WHAT A DISSAPPOINTMENT!!!! CHEAPLY MADE AND THE CASE IS MADE OF VERY CHEAP LOOKING PLASTIC!!! ALL ROUND VERY CHEAP BUILD QUALITY, iPHONE KILLER?? HAHAHAHA NO WAY THIS IS A CHEAPLY MADE OVER PRICED MONEY MAKING TOY DONT BUY IT....BUY THE iPHONE OR NEW BLACKBERRY BOLD 9700 !!

[ianb303030303030303]

i bought this phone today (UK) . really pleased with it. it came out yesterday so i cant find any immediate faults with it. easy to use, great camera and music capabilities. only down side is that its quite bulky becausue of the lens cover on the back.

[lewisner]

That's true but it has always seemed dumb NOT having a lens cover because the lens gets scratched and dusty.

[hugegeugahegirehgui]

On this phone can you pin lock your messages or your files , pictures and videos... So you would have to enter a pin to be able to to access them.

[DriftK13]

I want a lock on my contacts... i had the first ever iPhone and my dad always used to play games and mess around on it. I hate lending my phone to someone and then end up hearing them say... "Who's this person? and who's that person?" and yeah they always read my texts... EMBARASSING!!

[akki999]

there was a free app called activelock for previous versions of symbian that let you protect whatever apps you want (like contacts, messaging, notes) with a password. there'll probably be something on nokia's ovi store that does the same thing for s60v5

[ianmarvinchu]

is this better than the iphone?

[wadankhanx]

way better than iphone ............

[placactus]

Released on Wednesday in the UK unless they change the date (again...)

[hmmmzzzpuss]

[Lennartannelies]

Deze maand / This month

[CollinCalifornia]

When does the Idou come out?

[lmeteorl]

is there something wrong with the camera? I swear the phone is so small in the beginning and then it got so long(back to the way it should)

[redhammer999]

probably just the video, very poor quality lol.

[vietprideee]

this phone is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! theres better reviews on it.. this isnt the best...but this phone is better than the pre and iphone!!!!!!!!11

[shamann85]

hum... launch time is actually pretty disappointing so is the time to take a picture. not sure if the phone can live up to it's own stats...

[lauren5930]

man i need to buy it now

[marychong88]

LOL!! LOSER!!!!!!!! Pls learn to make more useful comments instead of die u slant eyes shit. tat's so pathetic! Grow up my dear. =)

[TheBuxxx]

The photo is actually better when you view it with your eyes.The camera to camera view screws it up and it looks bad.

[marychong88]

That's because u can't afford it. Pathetic loser. =)

[LegendsMafia]

jen veux un

[hdzsound]

[aznninja300021]

How much is this phone? In the US?

[samir9382]

It's probably coming out for T-Mobile because it;s going out for t-mobile in the UK

[IBeCeRTiiFieD]

nig

[thegorkhali123]

how do u get so many phones...???

[Renton0]

He gets so many phones from the Company itself to get it Reviewed ..That's His Job

[ManLykStryda99]

I could never have this phone. I'd get too frustrated with touch everything. Even texting! Obviously it's a really good phone but Touch Screen aint for me. I'd go mad!

[magooling]

does it have a 3.5mm headphone jack? or even a micro usb port? nokia is way better in thinking what's best for its users' benefit.. *sigh*

it could hav been a nice phone/ cam/ camcorder..

[bWWd0]

whats the fucking point of 12MP if sensor size is tiny as your fucking small fingernail?! All those megapixel cellphone cameras are fucking frauds for total morons and idiots.

[mozezfreek777]

the sensor on the unit is much larger than the normal camera sensors the more mexgapixels is the better because when you shrink the image it comes out better.

[Infinityang]

if not youl have to buy it unlocked online

[Pakifier]

How much is the satio?

(please put in reply)

[Infinityang]

993$ CAD =(

[mugen1237]

I'm getting mine for $75! lolol

[Berchiena]

Were?

[mugen1237]

Craigslist :-)

[FAHpopups]

where's the 3.5mm jack?

[sawsaw16]

what u shud have done though is shoot this vid on one of the satios and then upload it here and for those logistical bastards out there...."no he cant leave with it" blutooth back to his pfone then upload cause i really want to see the camera record function on a 12.1 mp phone

[t4hmid]

where the hell did they get hold of them?

[DARKinspirati0n]

i have 905c 8 mp but still 8 mp Digital camera can have better photos

[kyllos]

i love sony ericsson!!

[honeypb1]

sonyericsson is the best nokia is fuckin sucks

[07liberian]

My N97 Has A Quicker Camera Launch Time, But This Is A 12mp Camera IDK If That Matters.

[EdwardUmana]

I was expecting to see the camera shutter respond like immediately, it actually took like the N97 or any other Nokia phone.

[MyDiseasedPenis]

why is the screen resolution so fucking low

[SuperRetard22]

Its comes in 3 months to sweden i know.
