Sony Ericsson Satio - features and reviews

Editor's Note

The Sony Ericsson Satio, formerly Idou created a huge buzz when it was officially announced at Mobile World Congress 2009.  It features a 12.1 megapixel camera and will also be the first phone to feature SonyEricsson's new Symbian based super slick touchscreen user interface. 

Set to be the best camera phone available in 2009, the Idou wil feature autofocus, a xenon flash, a video LED flash, geo-tagging, smile detection and face detection.  Phew!

Industry insiders believe the new user interface will be very easy and slick to use.  On top of that there's GPS combined with Google Maps, plenty of music features including a FM radio, music and video player and stereo bluetooth. 

The Idou is due to launch in Q3 2009
