Sony Ericsson announces Satio, Aino and Yari mobile phones
29 May 2009 by Olav Hellesø-Knutsen Sony Ericsson today announced three new mobile phones. Satio, Aino and Yari where Satio and Aino have touch display. Satio is the official name of the Idou announced in Barcelona earlier this year. Gone are the usual model naming. W700, G705, S500 are now substituted with names that very well could have come from the Japanese part of the company. It could be a coincidence of course, but Aino is a Japanese mountain and Yari is the Japanese term for spear. My guess is that these three models have their origin from Japan. Suprisingly, non of the three new models have Sony's MemoryStick for external storage. microSD is the new memory card format. The connectivity plug used for charging and headset is of the usual Sony Ericsson proprietary type. In February, Sony Ericsson was one of 17 mobile phone manufactures and operators which agreed to start using a standardised charger design. We are not there yet. What we could have hoped for was a 3.5mm plug for use with quality headsets. Satio highlights

All three models will be available in selected markets from early Q4 2009 We will have a hands on preview of all three devices during Friday 29th

Actually, almost all SEs new models look like clones of Nokia. Aino has no fullfunctional touchscreen. only few functions are supported. Only revolutionar thing in Idou is 12mp camera, but samsung also has HD recording...

Love the new Japanese design and the feature sets which are above par from any handset available in the market. Ppl, these are the faces of the "NEW FUTURE". We love the Future. Satio is the new standard to beat. On 29 May 09:28 mode wrote Daayummmm! On 29 May 08:21 Andreas wrote Aino is a Finnish woman's name. Yari sounds exactly as Jari, a Finnish male name. On 29 May 07:57 Pouria wrote THANKS thanks Thanks from Atid which invent the Gesture and motion for the users of the Multi-touch screen from Gesture tek company. Gesture and motion gaming for action on and off the screen that is used for the Sony Ericsson YARI On 29 May 05:43 Prom1 wrote Satio/Idou will be MINE! SE will finally bring me back - without loosing the power of S60/Symbian that I've grown to love so much. SonyEricsson's video ads for most of their phones clearly show SE to be THE social phone manufacturer - they always show phones doing what they do so that users enjoy them not just the phone itself. SE shows how the phone seemless is apart of your life. |
