Cautionary Warning: You may Not agree!
UK and Ireland MD Nathan Vautier has claimed that the Phone can even outstrip the iPhone. TechRadar brings you an in-depth review of the two phones pointing out the differences!
1. The camera
Oh, we know what you’re going to say. “Who needs a 12MP camera on a phone? Nobody needs one that good”. Well, you might be right, be we have to tell you, it’s a stonking good one. In fact, it’s the kind of feature that makes you want to get the phone out because it’s so good. And let’s face it, the less we say about Apple’s 2MP failure the better.
2. The Symbian-based OS
If you’re like us, you’re bored of the same tired interface it seems Sony Ericsson has been rocking for the last umpteen years, so to see a new one really is a breath of fresh air. It adds a whole level of functionality to the device by popping the media at the bottom, navigation at the top and scrollable screens to move between different options. It’s almost like the way you interact with the iPhone, but without having to rumble through hoards of Apps.
3. Movies… lots of Movies
Although not available yet, the Play Now Arena with Movies will give users 15 free downloads out the box for the handset, and five more free per month according to our sources. That’s pretty much all the on-the-go movie downloading you could ever want, and while it’s not the all you can eat stylings of Nokia’s Comes with Music, it’s still a great deal for no more money.
4. Cheap as chips
Well, chips that cost £35 per month that is. But the main difference in terms of cost between the Satio and the iPhone is that the new effort from Sony Ericsson will be free on contract, compared to having to pay upwards of £50 for Apple’s mobile on some packages, which still leaves a bitter taste in our mouths when we think about it.
5. Messaging is easier… and prettier
While it might not have the intuitive word recognition that the iPhone sports for the ham-fisted among us, the Satio has a nice keypad in both QWERTY and alphanumeric modes, with the retro 80s stylings just adding to the mix. The iPhone can’t even text in landscape mode yet, with the much-vaunted 3.0 update still waiting to hit our pockets.
And for all those who are expecting the release of PSP Phone, here’s bad news. Its so far, not in the recent agenda of Sony Ericsson!!
Ericsson’s Aino maybe the next in store from the proprietors. From what we heardd, Aino has a 3.0″ 240×432 pixels TFT touchscreen, which supports up to 16,777,216 colors. Sony Ericsson Aino has only, unfortunately, a 55 MB of internal memory, but it supports SanDisk microSD™ cards. 8GB SanDisk microSD™ card will be included to the box of the phone.
Live gigs can be distracting, what with all those ambient light effects and fellow gig attendees pushing and shoving to get to the front. Sony Ericsson has a solution though, by coming up with a way to provide a live music experience, but not in the traditional sense.
