As most know since the Apple iPhone was launched virtually every mobile phone since then is compared to the iconic iPhone.
The iPhone raised the bar for high end smartphones whether it be Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung or BlackBerry, the success is measured against the iPhone.
Now Sony Ericsson has unveiled the Sony Ericsson Satio, and itvoir.com looks at how the Sony Ericsson Satio stacks up against the iPhone and whether it could be a possible iPhone challenger.
The Sony Ericsson Satio has a 12 megapixel camera where the iPhone has a 2MP. The Satio will be free on contract where the iPhone generally costs $50 and upwards. The Satio has QWERTY and numeric keypads but lack the iPhones intuitive word recognition.
Downside with the Satio is that it doesn’t support as many applications as the iPhone, and the iPhone incorporates simplicity of use, and there is of course size to be considered which the iPhone has the edge on.
So what are your views; is the Sony Ericsson Satio phone an iPhone challenger?
I think the new iPhone 2009 will still be better because of the app store and the functionality although the 12 mp camera is very appealing.
The fact that iTunes won’t be required to put music on it will be a major advantage.
I’m not getting too excited.
No doubt the batteries will last 12 minutes on standby. How about rather that constantly upgrading phones, they upgrade the battery first?
Lets sort that problem out and then create an all singing all dancing phone.
I hate Itunes but lets face it. A 59p app in itunes is £4 on Sony’s download portal……ridiculous
I still don’t get why everyone raves on about the apple iphone.
More apps than sony, 59p vs £4 etc
The sony uses symbian Series60 user interface which has been going for years and there are many apps available free over the web, I’ve been using S60 for about 5 years on Nokia handsets.
An people dont buy iphones for any other reason but stupidity. No phone will ever convince anyone who likes i___ anything to change. If apple made a new iphone which had no screen, couldnt make calls and leaked radioactive gas, iphone lovers would snap it up like its the best thing since sliced apples :p
Super I don’t think you know what your talking about, the iPhone is actually an outstanding piece of kit, but eventually as new technology develops it will be outshone by different
sources. But I’m sure all iPhone users will move with the times and not be struck dumb with apples latest development as you described it. Anyway, kind regards why don’t you go and answer your mickey mouse nokia 3310, mummys calling telling you to get home as your tea is ready!
