All my fellow members, just to remind you that no one is perfect and so is not SE. There is some problem or the other in each and every electronic device that comes up. Take for example iPhone4, finally Apple admitted yesterday that they do have problem after weeks of denying. The difference is SE is not publicly admiting but at least trying to fix.
The phone is not that bad. I bet no happy user will every join a forum. If they join, they will just publish photos or looking for latst software. If you refer to the photo thread here in the Symbian Forum in Esato, you will understand what I mean. Majority of the publisher in that thread is not the ones who participate in other problem threads... !!
What I am trying to say is that yes there is problem, SE may be fixing (I am optimistic being a SE fan for last 5 years), SE is doing a big mistake by not publishing their plans and upgrading to Sybian^3. |

Sell your SATIO while it still worth something and buy a N8.

Or Buy an android phone, thats what I did, I bought a Desire two months ago for 320€ and will sell the satio to a friend of my brother..... for 210€ (including ProfiMail) . In October 2009 I paid 380€ and that is definetly my last SE Phone, after T68i, T300 ,W800i&W950i (I loved all of them expect the satio.....).
I used to have the phones till they broke...... but now...... I am so disappointed...
cheers,

there's no way to be sure, but all i can say is my Satio works perfectly.
it doesn't crash and i haven't come across any bugs.
You can see from the Satio camera thread there a many happy satio owners. I think the chance of getting a lemon is small.
Also, Sony Ericsson warranties should be valid in any country. Even if your country doesn't have a legislated warranty, I imagine Sony Ericsson's manufacturer warranty would still be honoured by SE.

I must say the N8 looks impressive, does it set a new standard beyond the satio, it seems too |

No more updates for my Satio ? oh well, it doesnt need updating anyway. Thats my Satio anyway. Im happy with mine for the most part. Its very stable, fast and as good as i can expect.
Id still go for a N8 over a Satio though. Theres not a single advantage the Satio has over the N8. Whilst the N8 has many new features brought to the table by Symbian 3.

By the time I can afford a new phone again, I'm hoping SE's new flagship camerphone will be out, and hopefully wp7 or symbian 3, or even android (though I'm not a big fan).

Well it might be the case that Symbians days are numbered by next year since Nokia said they were only going to use it for their lesser handsets.
So i wouldnt expect too many SE handsets using it.

that's interesting, so Symbian looks to be rather dead in the water. I wonder if we will see a Nokia WP7 phone in that case? Or will they go all Android?

They are leaving it a little late to use Meego - but then again maybe it's almost ready.
Nokia are shedding smartphone marketshare and I think the reason is s60 just can't compete with the fluidity of the Android variants.

Apparently Nokia will use Meego on their future higher end devices and flagships, whilst Symbian 3 and 4 will be used on their lesser handsets, hopefully instead of S40 which is now extinct and terrible to use even on the most basic of handsets.
Either way the future looks uncertain. Android seems to be a safe bet for people who want to keep up with the cutting edge of smartphone operating systems but one thing worries me.
Google are becoming far too involved with peoples lives. Im sure pretty soon they'll know who you are, where you live, who your friends are, your blood type, everything. I cannot walk down the street without having to interact with something linked back to Google these days. We're feeding them too much personal information as a whole.

Is anyone else sick of hearing about the supposed death of Symbian? Yes there are problems that (hopefully) S^3, 4 and 5 will eliminate but it is far from dead or dying (even with its problems it is still the worlds most popular smartphone OS and will likley be for some time to come).
According to Anssi himself Symbian is not being relegated to lesser handsets and it is still Nokia's 'smartphone' OS of choice to compete with IOS and Android. Meego is going to be their 'connected device' OS of choice. Don't take my word for it though (because it's not worth a thing) but please have a read of this.
I'm no fanbois, I quite like that Android and IOS have appeared to push the smartphone arena and I respect them both for their strengths, but I do like Symbian and get a bit miffed with the doom and gloomers who seem to buy into the anti Symbian hype without first digging a bit deeper. Symbian has definitely been a bit poorly for the last couple of years but the prognosis is nowhere near as bleak (at the moment at least) as some would like us all to believe.

I wouldn't be surprised that Symbian is dead, this could be why SE is ignoring us and not giving us any information about future updates. Or they could be doing this on purpose and hit us with a rather large update and never have plans to give us another update but since we're so used to them being quiet about it, we pretty much won't bother them for another update again. Seems like a pretty shady plan but not surprised if SE does execute this and execute us. |
