Sony Ericsson Satio - Review and deals from Dongles4u
Editor's Comments
Take amazing quality photo's where ever you are with the brand new Sony Ericsson Satio's 12.1 megapixel camera.
On paper the new Sony Ericsson Satio is un-doubtebly at the top of the league when it comes to touchscreen handsets. Boasting incredible multimedia functionality, amazing processing power as well as that awesome 12.1 megapixel camera on a 3.5inch widescreen, there isn't a great deal more you could ever want from a smart phone today.
What's in the box
When you receive your Sony Ericsson Satio and you open the box, as well as the usual instruction manual & users guide, Charger and software CD, you also get a handsfree kit. This is crucial as not only is it there for handsfree, but also listening to whatever mulitimedia you have stored on its, upto 16GB, memory. Be it music, film or television.
But all of this is soon over looked quite easily by the Sony Ericsson Satio handset. Very similar in size to the Apple iPhone, but alot more attractive in our opinion. With its brushed steel looks and crystal clear screen, this has to be one of the sexiest looking smart phone's out there today.
Our verdict
Now I've never really been one for Sony Ericsson handsets, but it has to be said that with the new Sony Ericsson Satio, I have definatley changed my opinion. The OS is a joy to use and has some really nice smooth animation transitions which really put the finishing touches to it.
With the brilliant 12.1 megapixel camera, amazing quality touchscreen and its outstanding power, the new Satio has definately raised the bar for all new smart phones.
We give 5 stars for this one, we cannot fault it at all, definately at the top of our 'next handset' shopping list.
