Sony Ericsson Satio
Overall
About as good an all-round media player as we´ve come across, the Satio ticks more boxes than you could possibly need ticking. Play videos on your daily commute? This does it in mobile HD for you. Play games? How about HD and 3D games at your fingertips. Use your phone for work occasionally? There´s document readers and editors onboard, and full email support. Take pictures? How does a fully-featured 12 megapixel camera sound?...
We could go on, but let´s just say the Satio is mighty, mighty impressive when it comes to handling just about any media task you can throw at it.

Details
The fact that Sony Ericsson are treating all the different media-paying capabilities of this thing equally is evidenced by the inclusion of a neat, instant-access panel on the touchscreen homepage that gives you access to all the most common tasks at a single tap of your finger. So if you´re someone who bounces around between the video player, the camera, the internet and everything else available, this could make your life a whole lot simpler.
The camera itself is a work of art, even if Sony Ericsson are choosing not to talk about it ahead of any of the phone´s other features. With a whopping 12 megapixels, a host of other fantastic features and a great Xenon flash, you´ll pretty much be able to chuck out your current camera and just use this instead.
Another great thing to note here is that, unlike many, Sony Ericsson don´t skimp on what comes as standard not only on the phone, but also with it. Whatever colour you choose here (and all three, in our opinion, look as good as each other), SE provide you with a colour-matched set of stereo headphones, and also an 8GB microSD card – more than enough to get you started with your music and video playing.
Add to this just about every other feature and function going – from the A-GPS to the Facebook application to the handwriting recognition to the WiFi – and you´ve got a very, very impressive package indeed.
Keep your eyes peeled for the deals available on this thing, because if you can find yourself something that suits your wallet, your palm, fingers and video-watching eyes are going to be very thankful indeed!

excellent
This phone is excellent, except for the fact that is atouch screen phone. If like me you can't stand touch screens (call me old fashioned) you would be better off going fot the Sony Ericsson C905, it has new software on it now so it is alot more reliable than it was when it first cam out.
The look of the Satio is gorgeous though, the only gripe I would have is that I wished it was a little bit slimmer.
