   This is the best cellphone ever, The interface and the built is superb! I will not trade this for any other phone in this world. I recently got the samsung highlight and it is nothing compared to this monster. Back then Noka N95 was the macdaddy of all devices now the Satio is THE macdaddy of all. I'm always gonna stick with Nokia and Sony phones. Samsung is there but not all that in my perspective. If you want attractive well rounded cellphones check out Nokia and Sony! No regrets!

   I had to get a new phone because my Samsung Innov8 was giving up the ghost- could barely hear the other person when I got calls. I'm pretty sure one friend no longer talks to me because he thinks I'm giving him the cold shoulder, when in fact I simply cant hear him and have to hang up!
   
   Now this Satio is a real humdinger. I got the red one, or "bordeaux", as they say in SE circles. It's damn sexy, stylish, and says quality. The sliding camera lens cover/switch is smooth, and reveals the lens with neighbouring flash, lights and range and focus sensors, making this mobile phone look more like a camera which happens to have excellent phone, sms and music player capabilities all wrapped in one. The fact that it is a 12.1 megapixel camera doesnt hurt either.
   
   The touchscreen useability is not bad. Some parts are a little confusing and I dont know why there sometimes seems to be doubling up on the number of steps required, such as smsing. Nevertheless, it's a great sexy phone slash camera and I have no regrets buying it. I've had it for 2 days and already taken 50 photos and 4 short vids- great quality stuff, especially considering they were all taken at night.
   
   I've especially fallen in love with the touch focus methos of taking photos. You dont have to press the shutter button. Once you set it up on the "focus" option, all you do is touch the LCD screen and the camera will focus on that part of the photo. So you can touch the far upper right corner of the screen, for example, and it will focus there and take the pic immediately after. Amazing technology.
   
   Surprisingly for Sony Ericsson, it comes with a 8gb micro SD card, which is unexpected because SE generally doesnt like to give out things like memory cards for "free", and also because they're usually a stickler for their own Sony memory stick series of memory cards. Personally I'm glad, since it meant I could simply transfer my micro SD card from my Samsung to the Satio.
   
   Also surprisingly, it did not come with those earphones which have the soft rubber earplugs which block out noise around you, giving a clearer playback from the music player, which is, of course, good, being Sony. The earpiece has a colour coordiinated listen/disconnect button where the left and right wires meet, which is attractive, but doesnt make up for the cheaper earpieces. Since it doesnt come with a 3.5mm jack, you cant use your favourite headphones without buying an adaptor.
   
   Would I recommend this phone? Yes- at least try it out. I'm pretty sure you'll like it :)

   I know what you're thinking... "that is A LOT of money". This is true. But if you want a REAL digital camera, phone, organizer, and music player all in one, this phone is IT. I don't want to go into all the features because some are listed above, and all are listed on the official Sony Ericcson website. But as the first person on Amazon to give this phone a review, I have to honestly say this is the best phone in the world right now... PERIOD. Not only will you be the envy of your peers & friends, but this phone is actually fun in all aspects. (One suggestion: purchase a car charger... especially if you keep Bluetooth on all the time.)
