Unlocked Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou) Quadband 12.1MP CAM,GSM PHONE

Sony Ericsson Idou have officially announced their flagship touchscreen cellphone, the Satio.  Formerly known as the Idou, the Sony Ericsson Satio features a 3.5-inch 16:9 widescreen resistive touchscreen, quadband GSM and UMTS, together with GPS and WiFi.  There’s also a 12.1-megapixel camera with autofocus, face-detection, geotagging, an image stabilizer and Xenon flash.The touchscreen runs at 640 x 350 resolution, ideal for showing off photos and video content, and under the hood the Satio runs S60 5th edition.  Google Maps is preloaded, as is a Facebook client, YouTube viewer and full internet browser, and there’s an on-screen full-sized landscape keyboard, a compact mini-QWERTY, T9 and handwriting recognition. The Satio is one of a pair of new multimedia mobile phones to be released by Sony Ericsson this year, the other being the Aino, and instead of being created to excel as either a camera or a music phone, the Satio does both by havong an excellent camera and a powerful music player. 
                                                                                                                                                               


Sliding that lens coveraside reveals the 12.1 megapixel lens, flanked by a video light and a xenon flash, for excellent lowlight performance. Face and smile detection are both onboard, along with Touch Focus, a new feature where a simple tap of the screen sees the camera focus on that spot and capture the picture, so you dont have to centre the viewfinder on your preffered subject. Additionally, tweaks such as image stabilisation, BestPic and a 12x digital zoom are all included. As a 3G phone with HSDPA and HSUPA support, the Satio is already well-connected, but when you add in Wi-Fi, A2DP, Bluetooth and assisted GPS, it covers every base. Sony Ericsson’s recent switch to MicroSD card storage sees the memory stick slot replaced by this more readily available format, and they’ll be throwing in a 8GB card in for free. Plus the music and video player is backed up by a stereo FM radio with RDS. A well thought out gallery lets you fllick through your album, plus all the usual organisers and calendar options are there, along with the Sony Ericsson Play Now and TrackID features. Sony 

Ericsson  seem to have pulled out all the stops with the Satio, blessing it with a stylish design, a good OS, a massive megapixel camera, a sensible storage solution and every connectivity option you’ll likely need. It’s a shame then, they have not given it a 3.5mm socket, leaving it once more to their proprietary adaptor to house it. This is unfortunate as the media player is a good one and it does take the Satio one step away from perfection, however, it won’t bother everyone, especially when the rest of the package is as superb as the Satio’s!

Unlocked Sony Ericsson DJone – the Walkman Phone

Remember the poster we showed you here, promising the return of the Walkman phone? Well, it was a teaser for a concept, according to our source, Victor Cao, who forgot to mention this info in the first place. Well, at least we have one new device to look at. We’re dealing with a beautiful 4G Sony Ericsson Walkman smartphone dubbed the DJone.

Sony Ericsson DJone comes with a 3.6 inch multi touch OLED display, an 8 megapixel autofocus camera, capable of HD 30 fps capture and Android 2.4 as the OS. HDMI and a 1800 mAh battery also found their way on the handset, as well as a circular music touch control area, turning you into a DJ.
This touch area is placed at the bottom of the handset and it was the inspiration for the DJone name of the Walkman concept phone. Other features include the latest Walkman player, clear bass, clear audio, Sense Me and stereo speakers. I still think that Sony Ericsson Walkman can make a comeback… Do you?
