Is the Sony Ericsson Satio my N82 upgrade?
I’m pretty much locked-in when it comes to mobile phone choices. 2 years ago I bought a Nokia N82 and the camera on that is so good that even today I’m having trouble finding an upgrade. I’m so used to taking good quality evening, home and low-light snaps with it that I rarely have any other camera with me. To me, camera, internet and mobile phone go together like bread and butter and if you’ve tasted Xenon flash before, there’s no going back. (It’s not just brightness BTW, the short period of flash helps to freeze movement and results in far sharper low-light captures of people and other moving objects.)
I took a brief look at the Sony Ericsson Satio a while back but it didn’t really register in my ‘want’ list because I didnt know about the CPU. When I found out that it’s got the same CPU in as the iPhone 3GS (AAS Review) I started to get interested again. Today I checked it out in the T-Mobile shop here in Bonn and sure enough, it’s got a lot of potential. The touchscreen is resistive but, like the Nokia N900, gives good haptic-assisted response. The slider-protected (essential) camera is 12MP and the pre-focus is quick and accurate. The only thing I found missing on the camera side (in my 10 minute test) was the ability to force the flash on (for fill-in.)
