Video Diary: Whatley & the Sony Ericsson Satio in Soho

In a noisy Soho back-street, James gives his first - mostly positive - impressions of the Sony Ericsson Satio. Utilising the same Symbian S60 5th edition software are the Nokia N97 and 5800XM, the camera, build quality and capacitive touch-screen impress as does the customised UI. Battery-life is noted as a weakness though...

how long the battery will last??

[reallymobile]

It depends on use.

@reallymobile Lets say it doesen't matter for you if its touchscreen or not. What would you choose?

N86 or Satio?

[reallymobile]

Depends on what the recent firmware fix for the Satio does to battery life and reliability. N86 is safest option right now if you can find it from your operator and possibly has best camera (lower MP but better low-light performance... probably).

hi all should i sell my n97 and gat a satio or wait for 12mp snapdragon phone next year help please

[reallymobile]

The Satio is nice and the camera is possibly a bit better, but the 97's battery is better... It also depends on your preference, but it's worth takign account of all the Ovi apps that Nokia offers.

Personally, if I already had an N97, unless I really hated it, I'd hang on 'til next year.

Satio rocks.... :)

[pegasmon]

thanks, is it true that they pull out the black satios because of some problems??

Super phone!!!I ve use second day-super,and rest of my Tawroginski family use SonyEricsson.

No. The Satio battery is 1000mAh and the iPhone 3G IS 1150mAh. The current iPhone 3GS is 1219mAh and neither has background apps, a 12MP camera or a camera flash to drive.
