I'm going to swap the batteries between my W960i (950 mAh) and Satio (1000 mAh). The W960i battery seems to last forever, or 12 hours straight, with FM/Walkman constantly on.
Why?
I've ALWAYS charged my brand new devices overnight, for the very first time. I didn't with the Satio, because I thought it might have been overkill these days.
I've previously read here that other peoples' W960s had poor battery life, and now wonder if a lack of a first time non-overnight charge was the problem. My Satio battery life is absolutely p**s poor.  :(
I realise the Satio will be much more power hungry than my W960i. But if I notice any improvement then it's a start.
Time (or rather battery life) will tell! |

Thought i'd have my say in here....
1. Battery life - I think i'd be getting about 2-3 days out of it....from about 12pm one day it had only gone down a 1/4 by the next morning....i've been constantly uploading stuff to it, so it hasn't had a full day without being connected to the PC
2. GPS - First attempt couldn't work it out, where i live has a slow internet connection, so put it down to that...i installed Garmin Mobile XT this morning, and it not connects within about 7 seconds, and thats even sitting in my living room too
3. 3.5 Jack - Doesn't bother me as i very rarely use headphones or any thing like that
4. Stability - The only lock ups i've had is with my Garmin App....but i have found out its a problem with the version i have, it works ok for everything except browsing the map
5. Signal strength - I had been using a o2 sim in it until my number transferred across today and the signal was far better than the X1 i had before this one, so no gripes there either
All in all, i love this handset, however for a 12mp camera i though it should have been slightly better, but hell, its better still better than all the other phones i've every owned....lets just hope that it continues to impress |

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my You Tube post.
But I was actually talking about the dedicated app, that can be found by going to Organiser>My App's>You Tube.
there doesnt even seem to be any settings that can be changed on it!
so why don't you make a new bookmark with this settings? |

I have until tomorrow to decide whether to send my Satio back.
I'm not overly impressed like I was with my W960i, and I'm not sure if I can live with the ghastly battery life. The W960i seems to last forever, even with a fair bit of abuse. I'm sure (once) I went four-five days before I realised it needed charging! The Satio has already died twice within 24 hours!! :S |

@se-naz.... i'm liking it a lot!
I've always loved S60 devices and the satio looks great and in my case works great!
The only thing i miss a lot from the iPhone is how easy it is to get apps. If symbian or SE sort this out then it would be an even closer call for favourite phone.
The camera is a big bonus too!
And also what are you guys using your phones for???? my battery has lasted two days after every charge. i send about 30-40 txts per day and a few calls. i check facebook 7-8 times a day whilst in work and twitter the same amount. And i still get 2 days out of it!

How would you say is the best way to access facebook on the Satio? Is there an app available for it?
Thanks |

After the initial charge the battery went quick but with each charge it lasts longer.
I'm still finding my way around S60 (again) but I miss the flashy, colourful themes of my C905. Some things seems to take one or more clicks extra to do on this phone. Build quality is excellent and it looks great too but Android should be a breath of fresh air when it appears in the next few months.

Got my Satio today on O2 contract.
My experiences are good, except for some reason i cannot get 3G video calls to work. I dont think the phone is setup correctly since the settings which automatically get sent to the phone when i put the sim in only covered mms, no 3G profile, but then i didnt think that was necessary to make 3G calls.
As for the rest of the phone im enjoying it. I was disappointed by the lack of Nokia maps (obviously knew that prior to purchase) and im disappointed by the overall sound level of both the earpiece and loudspeaker.
Check me out on Instagram ! search for etaab ! |
