By now, everyone should be aware that Satio is the offical name for the Idou, a phone which Sony Ericsson proudly shpwed off during Mobile World Congress back in February. Fast forward seven months and the Satio’s launch is closing in, making it a great time to have a look at this smart new handset. The Satio represents several firsts for Sony Ericsson, namely a 12.1 megapixal camera - the highest count in thier range - and the use of Symbian OS, S60 5th edition, the same as can be found on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the N97.
Sony Ericsson chose a touchscreen design for the Satio and although it doesn’t break any new ground in terms of looks, it does have a certain style about it, especially in the Bordeaux and Silver colour schemes. At 13mm thick and 126 grams, the Satio maintains a similar size and weight to its rivals, but when you turn the phone on its side, the sliding lens cover bulges out, ruining the smooth and slender frame. However, this is only an aesthetic issue, as when holding it sideways, the rounded edges and protruding lens gives a far more ‘camera’ like experience when taking pictures.
