Our brief experience with Sony Ericsson Satio left us happy and waiting for more of the same - we really hope to get a second glimpse of it for a more detailed review, once it hits the market. Our initial impressions are quite positive and competitors will have to do quite some efforts in order to compete with it.
However there are at least 4 months left until the Satio actually hits the shelves. For a dynamic market that may just be too long - the competitors have plenty of time to react accordingly. Samsung i8910 Omnia HD has already headed to a successful market launch and Samsung Pixon12 won't be too late either.
At this stage Sony Ericsson Satio is not a finished product and fixing all the little buggy bits may mean the difference between making or braking its success. Release timing is equally important and we hope Sony Ericsson don't let us down on that one as well.
The perspectives for Sony Ericsson Satio are more than good but Sony Ericsson better not waste their time as another failure might be fatal for the already troubled company.
