New Phone – Satio

I want a new phone.  I have wanted one since I first caught glimpse of the Sony Idou. And still want it now they have changed their name to Satio (why, I do not know). 

Sony Ericsson Satio, in three colours

I have had Sony Ericssons for years now, since I was 16 when I had the T300 which had a clip on camera attachment.  It was  a block of a phone, but I loved the interface and still do.  I think it is by far the easiest to use, and for that reason have not yet strayed from the Sony Ericsson path.  I have avoided the iPhone at all costs so far, for the simple reason of the Camera.  In my opinion, and it is my opinion, the Sony Ericsson phones have by the far the best cameras out there, and now that it is releasing the Satio with a 12.1mega pixel camera built in, I have no reason to consider looking elsewhere.  This website provides an extensive video review of the phone if you want some more information Hands-on with the 12.1-megapixel Sony Ericsson Satio smartphone  and is written by Julian Prokaza.  Unfamiliar with the correct way to give credit,  I hope that will do. 

What else the phone can do comes in a multitude of evils, form Wifi, 3.5″ touch screen, Track ID (This was the original, whats that song playing, record and it will tell you, before the iPhone used their software and took most of the credit..) and it also sends media messages, and makes phone calls.  It will be capable of playing good quality movies as well, though I have yet to see the quality and wonder whether you would really want to watch a movie on such a small screen, in addition to what this will do to the battery.

So I am now waiting for the release of this is October and sit quietly wondering what the price Tag will be.  I read somewhere that it will be roughly 600 Euros, which I m hoping will be the cost sim free, and that with a decent contract will be cheaper, otherwise I may have  to surrender and join the iPhone toting hordes.   Until I know this, I will just continue wondering and maybe write some more when it goes to press.
