Basically everything suggested in the previous round still applies

personally i would accept the phone if

It opens up to take apps from symbian apps stores.
So no more helloOx or whatever.

Better camera control

Able to upgrade to Symbian ^3!!!!!
This is most important as the phone will still be a decent camera phone contender by the time N98 is out!!! One year old still solider on well against Nokia's latest.

Anyway, N98 leaked pics suggest it has a 12 mpx camera with xenon!!!

It is protential replacement of the Satio if OS and apps is good enough...

So.. Sony has roughly 8 months to work on the software.

It's sad, but reading between the lines, it almost seems that what you all really want is an I***ne

Is it true that Satio is not upgradeable to Symbian^3 due to the use of resistive touch-screen? I read this somewhere but not sure of what this claim is based on.

I thought S3 support multitouch that includes resistive screen
No Symbian OS before "can" ever upgrade!

Jackau,

If base on your theory then nokia shouldnt release any new phone? just simply apply the new OS to their old phone and fix everything else and keep doing that?

Im sure SE will do their best to support their release handsets, just give them time yet we all hope the best that they could put on the next firmware but that's not how business work

just my two cents.. i could be wrong

SE will not be upgrading satio to sy3, simple reason this is not how they do business, they need to get value for their time spent developing and the satio offers no such value going forward, so a new device will be the way they will go, if you want OS 3 you will have to upgrade to get it, I don't agree with this strategy but it is how it will be, the satio will be a good device for at least 3 years in my books as it gets more and more difficult to improve on it, this in itself is a problem for Phone companies in general, it goes aginst the current cycle of 12-18 months, we need to always consider that SE Nokia etc need to make money, all the improvements mentioned in this thread would provide us with a "near perfect device" SE do not want to provide us with a perfect device otherwise they loose the upgrade path to generate revenue and claw back developement costs. The Satio is done and dusted



now some things that are not acceptable in current form are mentioned above, one of the biggest issues I have is the inconsistancy in the interface........that needs fixed period, also simple things like the musice player picking up ringtones etc - on my P1i you could at least set the music search to ignore files below a certain size, music volume is too low

For some reason the texting on my satio is getting worse by the day, the accuracy is horrible

My Satio also restarted itself for some reason the other day.


There is a lag when I try to unlock Satio most of the time

There is lag when I touch the screen to wake up the Satio most of the time.

WHy does this phone have so many issues? It was expensive...
