 Following on from yesterday disappointing news that Satio, Sony Ericsson's flagship entertainment device, would be delayed we have some more details to provide. The major piece of news is that the delay was caused by the need for a software update to be performed. This is both good and bad new. Bad because it doesn't bode well for the reliability of the handset that the software has had to be tinkered with the day before it was due to go on sale. On the other hand it shows that Sony Ericsson are at least on the ball and trying to nip a potential problem in the bud. Then there's the question of just exactly when Satio will see the light of day. What I'm hearing is that the handset should (note the use of the word should) go on sale sometime next week. If that's true then fair enough, not ideal, but it's not too much of a delay and shouldn't seriously impact Satio's sales. However, I am hearing from orange that they won't be selling Satio until the end of October! No actual date was given, but 'end of' doesn't sound good. Of course this might just be Orange and other retailers may sell Satio sooner, but even if that is the case it's still a blow to Satio. All in all it looks like a half-baked launch that's descended into the typical Sony Ericsson circus that we've come to expect from their high-end product launches. I just hope that we see Satio hit the shelves sooner rather than later. -------------------- Bessie Braddock: Winston you are drunk.

Well it does give us an idea of when it should be available, but that doesn't change the price...

At least they are aware they can't release a buggy handset, unlike they did before

The hardware is cheap for what is such an obscenely-priced phone and the UI/OS is utterly unimpressive.

Agreed. Personally, I don't think a Symbian OS was the right choice and it is very over-priced.
