Sony Ericsson Satio – an Entertainment Unlimited device
May 28, 2009 by Max

Today Sony Ericsson Satio was announced – the new high-end smartphone from Entertainment Unlimited series. It was shown at MWC 2009 on 15th of February with codename Idou. That event wasn’t the real announcement, just a small preview with a small list of specifications and some official photos. But today Sony Ericsson finally announced it with the full list of features, with some surprises like new colours and with final model name Satio.

Sony Ericsson Satio has three wondeful colours. Here they are: Black, Silver and Bordeaux. Black colour was showed at the MWC, Silver was leaked a few weeks after MWC 2009 and Bordeaux colour came as a real surprise to us. Satio is looking so unusual in Bordeaux . But I should admit, that it is a nice colour and it will be fit for women. Black and Silver are more classical colours and they should fit normally for everyone.

Satio supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSPA 900/2100 networks. Device has large 3.5″ 360×640 pixels TFT touchscreen, which has ratio 16:9 and supports up to 16,777,216 colors. Device supports SanDisk microSD™ memory cards and 8GB memory card will be included to the box. One of the main feature of the new Satio is, of course, a good camera. Satio has 12.1 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and intuitive touch focus, which helps you to take great images just in few seconds.

Satio has sizes 112 x 55 x 13 mm and weight 126 gram. Device is based on Symbian Foundation operating system (S60 5th edition Symbian™ OS). A lot of applications for this operating system already available online. More specifications of the new Sony Ericsson Satio can be found on the official Sony Ericsson site. And what about launch date of the new Satio? Less then 5 months left to the launch date of this multimedia smartphone. Yeah! The new Sony Ericsson Satio will be launched in October.

will it run standard S60 apps with no fuss?
also, does S60 have a good twitter app?
Cody on Fri, 29th May 2009 7:29 am
I’m glad there are more S60v5 phones coming out. Bodes well for the number of applications I can run on my Nokia 5800, and the Satio has the same resolution, so that means that apps are even more likely to be compatible

This should be release tomorrow or at least in a few days and not in six months time, by that time people who have been waiting for this will get feed up and buy another phone from another maker…

I wonder around how much would be for this phone
Fan on Sun, 31st May 2009 9:20 am
I agree that Idou is a lot better name than Satio. Idou sounds more personal and Satio just doesn’t have a soul
blued888 on Sun, 31st May 2009 7:59 pm
Certainly an eye-catching phone but I’d still be sticking to phones that have physical keypads.
IMO, Idou was a much better name than Satio. And what’s up with Sony’s naming conventions these days?

12,1 Megapixel camera is such a waste on the phone. could see that money going to amoled or good os (eg android) instead of stupid marketing race on megapixels
TausCusnaponas on Fri, 3rd Jul 2009 12:57 am
Video is actually VGA 30 FPS

I have this handset, and must confess I am dissapointed with it compared to the K850i which it was supposed to upgrade, considering there is a lot of marketing blurb suggesting this is the SE flagship, the radio does not have RDS, there is no equalizer for the music player, there is no option to change the text alert settings, no torch facility. It doesn’t come with much instructions as this is my 4th SE handset, I would have expected it to surpass a K750i, ok it has wi-fi and is touch screen but then again, so are a lot of lower cost handsets
