Battery is poor, but I am betting this being to do with the SE software too. When I disable it and give it a day or two on test without, I'll know if it's the hardware or software.
Gravity is an excellent app so I am pretty sure that isn't to blame, and I don't always keep it running anyway.
Now, as for having loads of apps running with no slow down.. the odd thing is that it seems to stutter along - and this is visible by music cutting out, video going blank/restarting or the touchscreen not responding to input for a while (remember when the K850 display did this on early firmware? People thought it was the screen but when they fixed the software, it was 100% responsive).
Either the other reviewer wasn't running the SE stuff, had a different firmware (but I am on the latest) or didn't really test it out that thoroughly?

Does anyone know how to check the sim lock status of the Satio?
Or if the Vodafone ones come unlocked?
Thanks

i've had the retail version now since release on friday and i can safely say i've been listening to music and using gravity with no stuttering or cut outs...
Also the camera lens cover is solid for now and has a nice spring to it. After using the N97 for a few months i can safely say that this is what the N97 should of been from the beginnning!!!
Oh an before using the phone i have installed Handy Taskman as its the best task manager for symbian and also installed. i also switched off vodafone standby screen and switched to the finger use standby.

Been using mine properly since yesterday and so far its been stable not a single crash....damn I wish my n97 had 128 mb more ram!
Yup I agree SF^2 will never be ported to current handsets why would they. SE, Nokia,Samsung and anyone else who jumps on the SF^2 band wagon want you to buy new phone models not keep your old ones for ever. They are all out to make money and that means consumers buying their latest handsets not upgrading their old ones to hurt the profits of their new ones. Htc wont even give you an update of their latest touch flo's which usually only have minor tweaks because they want you to update your diamond2's touch hd's etc they're even being quiet about the promised upgrade to windows mobile 6.5 that they promised diamond 2 and pro 2 users 
I am just enjoying the satio for what it is now the most polished version I've used of s60 v5 touch. I only have my n97 to compare it too (ive only ever filddled about with a 5800 and omnia HD for a few mins and never had to live with one so cant comment on how they run on their latest firmwares) but it really does stand head and shoulders above the n97 which is a shame cause I like the 32gb of ram and the fm transmitter but I want to use my phone as a smart phone not a crippled smart phone or a feature phone.
Im just waiting on my crystal case to arrive while someone gets around to making the much better crystal/gel ones as its one slippy bugger of a phone and I can see a few dropped handsets if were not careful!
Will a phone manufacturer give us personalised txt alerts as a standard feature plz! |

There's no Italian on mine;
it's;
English
Francais
Deutsch
Espanol
Portugues
Turkce
Nederlands
Polski
Catala
Euskara
Galego
(Language set 01,d 02 03 04 13 14 18 27 4.. - rest is cut off and I can't scroll)
Custom version: 1224-3823_R1AB029
Software: 1218-9500_R1BB041
It would be interesting to see what the network branded/sold versions have, and why the others don't slow down at all. Not sure if I need to do a full reset or something, or wait and see if anyone else does some more thorough testing.
Edit: D'oh; just thought of a reason why my media might be stuttering (not the other slow downs like the touchscreen); I'm playing the audio over Bluetooth, not a headset. I recall similar problems with the W950, which turned out to be poor Bluetooth drivers. I must check out what happens with a wired headset (or just listening through the speakers).
God, so many things to test; yet with such a powerful processor - playing music should NOT be taxing it!

Those pictures posted by Voda_jon is really poor compared to jmcomms in the Satio picture thread.
How come?
Both are using the same version of camera frimware but still jmcomm's shots look so much better. |

Jonathan Morris: As I keep saying to the people that complain about battery life; initial care, initial care and initial care.
There are no lags on mine. Are you sure you have the latest firmware (Or at least, newer than mine)?
Edit: I see yours IS newer than mine, but I still don't experience any lag in the panels. Neither did a few other people who tested it and none of the videos on the Satio blog show this either.
Also, the language pack differs in each geographic location. Over there at the Satio blog, Rikard has posted the complete list of languages in each region.

Because a camera can only photograph what the cameraman makes it to.

Ok, this may sound like a retarded question, but does anyone here know to set the S60 mail client to not automatically download mails that have already been read?
I had it on manual connect till yesterday, where I could set a limit of say, 20 emails to download. I set up automatic download and lo and behold! It downloads all 8000 mails or so from gmail. |
