wow, the mobile phone market is just getting more and more awesome. Has anybody checked out the Sony Ericsson Satio?


Satio is a full touchscreen handset with a 3.5-inch 640 x 360 display (16:9 aspect ratio), 12.1 megapixel camera with auto-focus, xenon flash and 12x digital zoom, 128 MB internal memory, microSDHC support, FM radio with RDS, aGPS with turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the Symbian S60 5th edition OS.

I've had not one but *two* SE K800i phones, but haven't got a replacement camera/phone since. Nothing has really challenged this now very old phone. K810/K850 has only a marginal improvements over the K800, not worth the price. The Nokia N82 however is finally a phone that surpasses the K800i with full smartphone functionality (along with a camera that is a tad better too), now the N82's price has just came down to "cheap" levels this comes out:

12M camera + S60 + Xenon + Touchscreen = WIN!


I'll just have to wait now for to see a handful of user reviews to see if this phone really does live up to its potential. (and probably wait 6+ months for the price to drop down after release....)

Sony Ericsson's site says the phone will include the 850 network. The combination of Satio on Telecom and N900 on Vodafone would be a wet dream come true!
