When we first heard of the Sony Ericsson handset, it was still in it’s codename stage. The handset was called the Idou and described as the Xperia X1′s big brother, before we heard of the upcoming X2 and X3. While it doesn’t feature Windows Mobile, we now know neither does the X3 and so the Satio could fit very well in the Xperia line, if it wasn’t part of the Entertainment Unlimited range. The Satio features a 12 megapixel camera giving homage to it’s CyberShot side yet features impressive Walkman features. The handset will run on Symbian S60 5th edition. It’s available in the UK on Vodafone with other networks to follow. Tariffs above £35 on a 24 month contract have the phone available for free.
Sorry folks but, the rumors weren’t true. The event in Singapore today hasn’t seen the announcement of the Xperia X2 from Sony Ericsson. Instead the company recapped the handsets they have officially announced recently. The Aino, Saito and Yari are all being recapped on, as well as the GreenHeart eco phone.
The Satio from Sony Ericsson, aka Idou is the first phone from Sony Ericsson to offer a 12 megapixel camera as well as being an all in one phone, combining the walkman side with the cybershot side while adding a touch screen and smartphone capabilities. PhoneArena have gotten hold of the Satio for a quick review by video, along with some photos.
Various sides of the Satio are shown, along with the device being in use. From the preview version, we’ve also now got more photos of the handset than before. PhoneArena also offer a 360 degrees look at the handset, similar to what Sony Ericsson offer on their website for most of their phones.
The Sony Ericsson Idou phone, has been given an official name by Sony Ericsson today. The codenamed Idou handset will be called Satio. The Satio is due to release in the fourth quarter, featuring a 12 megapixel camera, as well as bringing Walkman and Cyber Shot handsets into one phone. Satio is one of the Symbian handsets they’re working on and will run the 5th Edition S60 OS. Also included is a touchscreen, GPS and Wifi. Along with the Satio, Sony Ericsson will release two other phones in Q4, the Aino and Yari, which are both to be gaming focused handsets.
