I have a great dilemna
I have bought a W995 while waiting for the Satio to come out, BUT now that I am more aknowlegded of the Omnia HD I am reconsidering waiting for the Satio and get right now the Omnia HD!
The most important thing that changed my mind is the price: 650$ now for the Omnia HD and 750-800$ exepcted for Satio(if not more)
I don't care about xenon/camera war, I just want a funny UI,many apps and games...
The only thing I would miss from Satio is the direct sunlight legibility,while even here it's not sure it would be better though
I am just afraid of the size of the Omnia HD, should I??

Id say get the OmniaHD. It already has a huge modding community making custom firmwares with KastorUI effects for it, and it has a major FW update coming soon it seems, with very a impressive new taskmanager, almost like the Palm PRE if i remember correctly with the windows,and overall you getting the same hardware the added bonus in the OmniaHD being the ALREADY BUILT-IN 16GB memory thats expandable,and the larger display,and 3.5mm jack if thats important to you,all in a cheaper more stable device.
AFAIK apps that work on N97 and 5800 work fine on Omnia, just wait for jj03 to confirm that though.

The satio is available for pre order at 470 pounds at SE's official store nd should be much cheaper elsewhere.I have also seen it being pre-ordered at as low as 500 euros. If you are into games and all, check out the satio, coz samsung isnt renowned much for their game develoment.The UI in the satio is much better too.

It's the lowest possible price and it's already 100$ more expensive than OmniaHD!
Don't forget that in my country you should add 50-100$ more...
So about the screen, the Satio doesn't render better under sunlight?

Gaming wise im sure Satio games will run on OmniaHD, this is Symbian, theres always a way, and under the hood these two pack the same hardware.
Im sure Satio will be better under sunlight,display is a bit smaller and its TFT, maybe try looking for a review on YouTube that has both side by side.

Satio all the way. I have gone off Samsung & its crappy UI

just get the Omnia HD it's much better than the Satio
Posted by vegetaleb
The Samsung UI is nice in omniaHD, at least it has widgets and like already said cooked FW with very cool effects!
It has nothing to do with other Samsung in case of customisation because we can use N97's themes
So bye bye boring UI
About youtube comparison, the satio has not been reviewed yet the case of sunlight, but why do you think TFT is better? HTC Diamond 1 and 2 are TFT touch screen and there are no ways to read them under sunlight
I think the Satio ''would'' be just slightly better than i8910 under sunlight but not as clear as w995 anyway

when gsmarena previewed the Satio they said it's worse than the Omnia's legibility in direct sunlight
Posted by vegetaleb
I remember that but I dunno why they took off this sentence
Posted by Radu_91
if sunlight legibility of the screen is so important to you why don't you buy the N97, it has the same legibility as N95,N82
Posted by vegetaleb
Do I look so
to take a nokia ever in my life again?

Overall AMOLED is better,but i was talking about the sunlight legibility of SE TFTs usualy being good,but now i read that the SE is worse,so i dont know now lol.
But ye OmniaHD IMO is the way to go.

The biggest problem with Satio is its very short batt. time. A cell like this needs at least 1500mah. The drols at SE decided 950 is enough
nevertheless, satio remains my chosen best s60. Is the video rec better in the Samsung?

Sony Ericsson Satio. For the 12mp cam and a xenon flash alone.

id wait abit
im considering those two phones as well
the satio has a resistive touchscreen ( like the old PDA's, so you have to press down) compared to the Samsung HD which has a GLASS screen like the iphone.......
wait for the review, as some say the satio screen is very responsive, others says nah.....
also both lack multi touch!!!
and the samsung i8910 HD is also BIG in size........
just wait ONE more week

i'm currently using the hd, and i love it. have had 4 firmware updates, which have fixed the issues i had wìth it. i'd pick the hd for its video prowess alone. i couldn't go back to converting vids 4 satio etc. as for the cam, the pics are superb from the hd.. i took it to rome and gave it a rite kicking..did a great job..

I hope Satio's video/photo quality is at least as good as Samsung's. Let's hope after market batteries will become available. I want at least 1200maA.

Samsung seems to have done a fantastic job with battery performance so the bar is high for the Satio.

they talk about the screen, but id still wait for the proper reviews, as his is a little fishy if you ask me
