Rest assured we will be Sam. However, we don’t expect final review units until the new year at the earliest.

I agree with some of the reviews, but not overall. I guess it’s just a matter of preferences.

First of all, I’m loving my Satio.

Camera – The camera is by far the best camera phone I’ve had.

Messaging – For messaging, I actually think this is better than iPhone. The resistive touch screen is good for texting. I usually make mistakes while typing on my iPhone compared to this. And the soft vibration per keypress is very reassuring.

Music – Good, but not great. The 3.5mm jack that everyone talks about doesn’t bother me at all. I have an adapter and it works great with my skullcandy.

UI – is average. Design is nice and shortcuts/apps/tools are customizable. What I don’t like about it is file management. I just use a separate app to fix this.

Apps – well there are a lot of apps for satio, N5600 apps work on it too, you’ll have to look for it though since Play Now has only few. If you’re an App guy, i recommend iPhone.

Internet – is good. I use Opera.

what else.. hmmmm.. The thing I hate most about My Satio is probably the battery life. Well, for a full touchscreen multimedia phone what do I expect, right? Still, could’ve been better.

And for all the recall, software problem, freeze, restarts, or bugs I read on the net.. I don’t know why, but mine doesn’t seem to have any problems so far. And I hope it stays that way.

Bottom line: There’s no such thing as a perfect phone, but there’s a phone that suits you. And this phone suits me. Music for a party, quick pictures on events, then upload directly to the internet.

Again, I love my Satio. =]

I’ve handled the Satio, and I do think it feels cheap, I have to say. Compared to the HTC Heros, iPhones and BlackBerry 9700s of this world, I think Joe is spot on when he says it’s plasticky. But I take solace in just how nice the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 feels. I’m interested to see what the Kurara follow up to the Satio will be like, it should fix a lot of the problems with the Satio.

i must admit, this review is wrong.
my brothers gf has one and it doesn’t feel “cheap” or “plasticy” at all.
the camera works well in the dark, but what they have to remember is, it is a phone not a proper camera. the UI is easy to use if you understand sony ericsson and the OS is really good too. i think sony have done a good job here, while not as easy as HTC or Iphone it does the job well. still shocked about no 3.5mm jack but i suppose thats one thing they didn’t think that important.
as an overall i’d give this phone 8/10 lacks in some area’s but overall it’s a good phone.
this is the only review i have seem that actually slates the satio. and i’ve read quite a few. this isn’t a true review in my eyes, its just some guy that doesn’t like sony ericsson.
