Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou) Photo Gallery

on September 27, 2009 – 4:15 pm70 Comments

The Sony Ericsson Satio, previously known as the Idou, has been announced as a concept device during Mobile World Congress 2009. At the time, the mere idea of introducing a 12MP camera in a smartphone was baffling, and it received a lot of praise from the general public, although many were wondering whether or not the Idou will see the light of day as a production device.

Well, the Idou eventually became the Satio, and is now almost ready to roll through the markets. With S60 5th Edition on board, a ton of UI improvements introduced by Sony Ericsson’s knowledge and past experience from UIQ, a heart-throbbing 12 MegaPixel camera, GPS, WiFi, accelerometer, the Satio is definitely a great contender to the hottest/geekiest/most capable smartphone of the year award.

Fortunately, we were able to snag a prototype unit of the Satio, even before they go into production mode, for a full week. Here, we present to you an unboxing of the very special Prototype box that the Idou was delivered in, as well as a full gallery walkthrough of the different Satio angles. It’s a massive handset, but keep your eyes peeled on FoneArena as we will later bring you a direct photo comparison between the Satio and other touchscreen offers from Nokia like the N97, 5800 XpressMusic and the X6. Until then, here is the picture gallery for you to enjoy. (Remember, you can click on any thumbnail to access the full resolution photo).

  • PRAVEEN GARG

    I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ITS PRICE . I LIKE IT & WANT TO PURCHASE

  • Shawn

    Don’t know if anyone has noticed, but if you look at the 8th picture from the bottom, you can see that the label 12.1 megapixel is a bit scrapped off.

    For something so simple, why such a low quality label from Sony Ericsson ?!

    They can pump in so many features but can’t give proper label ??…I’m dissapointed.

  • http://dotsisx.blogspot.com Dotsisx

    Shawn, you are right about the label being peeled off, but keep in mind that this is a prototype unit, so it probably spent a good deal of time in the hands of people in SE testing it, and that it is not final hardware. We should look at this issue when the final production units start hitting the stores ;)

  • Shawn

    Dotsisx, I agree with you.

  • anand

    hey friends, i got omnia HD today. (I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE THIS HANDSET IN MY WHOLE STATE.) its really nice fon, image quality is awesome. Ofcourse dont compare its sensitivity with i fon. coz its so rich in other features. one thing u can play video in any format, no need to convert. i think one joystick is missing, perhaps habit will change me. so frnd have u watched the samsung new 12 megapixel going ahead of i-dou..

    Hi There
    I am The proud owner of Sony Ericson Satio
    I am Facing the problem of phone being hanged say about 3 to 4 times in 12 hours time …..its a bit of problem dont know how to solve that ….

  • Nag

    Hi ,

    I have purchased this mobile , UI is average , Touch is bad and not worth for the price they offered. It should have cost of around 20 k, then its a worthy phone. SE has improve a lot on UI and features…. I dont suggest any one to have this phone.

    Thx
    Nag

  • Mohit

    Listen Guys its not peeled off may b due to awkward angle of photbraph taken it looks like to be…Brand like Sony cannot do such an elementary error !!!

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    It actually peeled off . This is just a prototype unit

  • http://zedge.com ronny

    hey frndz i think to buy such a costly fone is simply foolishness and theres no need of 12 megapixelcamera in a fone better than tht u buy a good fone in range of 15 to 20000 rs and a sony digicam of 12.1 megapixel worth rs 11999 and u can also save 10000 rs while buying these device and better than this fone is nokia n86 wit 8 megapixels and 8 megapixel is much enough to capture a clear pic!! think deeply friendz buying this fone is wastage of money

  • bejoy

    i love that cell send me the price

  • bejoy

  • Danish

    Guys….. this phone is great but not good…… for Newcomers to touchscreen, this phone is very good…. but for those who have used capacitive touchscreen, this phone is very much frustrating to use as it uses resistive touchscreen.

  • Ankieee

    If you switch from capacitive to resistive then any othr fone u r not gona like… Kiddish comment it is..well, Guys i have been using this fone since a year..Its an AWESOME experience..U’ll die for its Cam Quality..Music is grt coz afterall its Sony’.
    Far far far more better than Nokia N8.
