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.

Sony Ericsson have recently released a new line of handsets, dubbed the GreenHeart range. The GreenHeart handsets are made from recyclable materials which is good for the environment. During the research conducted by Sony Ericsson, it was revealed that, touch screen handsets are actually worse for the environment than candybar handsets, such as the C901. Handsets which feature a touch screen are usually feature rich, which can drain the battery very quickly, making it difficult to use environment friendly batteries. Touch screens also rely on glass, where as candybar phones can use recycled plastics. The Xpera X1 features a 3 inch touch screen, while the upcoming X2, will feature a 3.5 inch display. Perhaps in the future, if Sony are to continue with touch screen handsets, then we may see recycled glass in the displays.

Over at Planete Nokia, the guys have grabbed some more and newer photos of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming touch screen cybershot walkman phone, the Idou. The phone follows the look of Sony Ericsson’s other flagship phone, the C905 and raises the bar with an impressive 12 megapixel camera, while still being a smart phone like the Xperia, admittedly symbian based rather than Windows Mobile based, as well as being as good media wise as any walkman phone.
