So I spent some time today researching the Sony Ericsson Satio (idou in its former life),you know Sony Ericsson's 1st 12mp smartphone totting Symbian s60 5th ed. you know.the 1st 12mp announced...2nd 12mp on the market which is now available, in black, for purchase in the US via www.sonystyle.com. Who would have thought that the "buggiest of them all" would be sold here..in probably one of the pickiest mobile markets in the world (no offense :)). Nonetheless, firmware updates have remedied some of the Satio's original flaws and have added new features (WVGA, FB integration). The $650 price tag however is a feature that will surely deter many of us...and only play the harp-like heart strings of the most devoted SE fanboys and girls. If I had the mula (USD currency) i might consider trying the Satio U1a as well..especially if AT&T was my carrier. Nonetheless, out of this muddy diatribe..I've found my original point-I haven't found any new videos or reviews of the Satio with this new firmware nor the USA version of the Satio. I think this in particular would be helpful for both potential buyers, current users and Sony Ericsson.
Potential Buyers:
Have a better sense of what the Satio is now in its product life. How it has improved and in what ways it remains flawed. A dis-benefit of latching on to some reviews is that more then often they are not done with prototype or pre-production models which contain shotty firmware or certain design features that are latter ommitted. But then again that's the nature of the beast. What would be nice is if certain reviews were revisted and updates were added to features that have been changed in some important way.
Current Users:
Not to far from the last statement made, having a sense of what the company has done to support the Satio will undoubtedly encourage some confidence in the buyer. If only the i8910 HD had the support it should have had from Samsung mobile it would be in a different place. certainly SE has the resources and if they expect people to shell out the kind of money you can use to by a well equipped HDTV then they better support the Satio. The Xperia has it's on number for gosh sakes..so software ,applications and any other support they can give should be a piece of cake..right?
Sony Ericsson:
Again not to far away from my earlier points and in simiple-errr fashion
Satio is available + Sony provides software support/firmware updates applications = People like Sony Ericsson!!!!
bonus:
SE lowers price point or makes deal with US Carrier = diversify customer segment + re-attract previous C905a/c905i buyers.
I'm curious to see what will happen in the coming months. Maybe I'll give the Sony Ericsson Satio (preferably in bordeaux red) a try.
P.S. Youtube page in the works!!!
