The new application launched by the company for tracking text messaging, missed calls, facebook and twitter updates is also coming in these two phones and earlier it was available on the Xperia X10.  Being an Android phone the handsets will also be focusing on some exciting pre installed applications like Maps with street view, talk and voice search. Some other excitements which you’ll be able to enjoy with the new handsets 5Mp camera with LED flash, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, A-GPS and FM radio. With the launch of two QWERTY keyboard enabled handsets Sony Ericsson will be able to respond to those critics that say the company has not much QWERTY enabled handsets.

Sony Ericsson has finally launched its satio, a phone with huge multimedia support, touch screen facility and many others. The technology is quite new with some extra ordinary features. Sony Ericsson is always striving for performance and ease regarding the use of its cellular phones. From the past many years it is bringing the new launches into the mobile market and each one better and different from the other. The sleek body with fantastic features of the satio will definitely attract the fun lovers. Get music, movies, games, apps, ringtones, themes and endless fun for your phone and PC at PlayNow arena.

The main attractive feature of this phone is its light weight and smart style with the razor-sharp 3.5″, 16:9 ratio wide screens. Its touch screen is very well positioned and most of the functions are in the thumb’s reach.
Now coming to the main feature, 12-megapixel camera with its very fast shutter capturing a moving object is not a big deal. The focusing and the face detection mode are remarkably nice and you can even focus by tapping the screen. Skin tones are excellent, displaying tonal changes accurately and the Xenon flash works well too, easily illuminating indoor shots. However, indoors image noise creeps in, even when the sensitivity is as low as ISO 200. This Picture quality is the main reason for this mobile’s success. It’s a real crowd-pleasing feature and no doubt plenty of people will buy it purely on that basis.

There are some problems with this new generation mobile as well. The first and for most is its low internal memory storage and that is only 128mb storage but its 8GB SD card is also available. But this minute problem can’t make people oversee the plethora of advantages.

The most noticeable other feature is the Sony Satio’s compatibility with ‘Play Now’, a new online interface that allows users to personalize their Satio’s entertainment facilities. Anyone familiar with iTunes will no doubt notice Play Now’s uncanny resemblance. The interface within the Satio is simply stunning and Sony Ericsson has incorporated some fantastic visuals. Connectivity when using the Satio is made easy enough with the inclusion of built-in WiFi while Bluetooth facilities and a USB port makes sharing as easy as ever. It’s connectivity to the internet is also remarkable. Another exciting feature is its direct link with youtube and BBC itunes which helps in fast video sharing over the internet across the whole world.

It could be better said that anyone who wants his mobile to perform tasks better than the conventional digital cameras should buy new Sony Ericson satio for sharp capturing of photos and videos. The scenes which were kept unrecorded due to bad light will now be best recorded due to the Xenon flash. It is not just a phone it’s a full camcorder with having a very light weight and sleek and stylish outlook.

The first Android device by Sony Ericsson is just a disaster in itself. The Android war which was started in the beginning of 2009 has now entered in a new era with blasting new features and speed.

Sony Ericsson one of the top mobile phone industries of the world has also played its role in this war by introducing its first Android Phone “The Xperia 10”. Like any Android phone it is also Part of a big “open OS” push by the company, this new interface will make appearances on a number of future handsets, both of the Android and Symbian persuasion.

As previously rumored, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is based on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor – being the second Android phone to use a Snapdragon platform, after the Acer Liquid A1. Another very beautiful feature is its 8.1 megapixel camera with auto focusing, LED flash, and best of all the auto tagging; this feature tags each photo of the same persons and provides you upon search.

In shorts we can say that Sony Ericsson has entered the Android war as a very strong contender and the Xperia 10 in quality and features is not less than any Android phone in the whole world. Sony Ericsson says about the X10 that it’s “the flagship phone in a family of phones coming to market during the first half of 2010”, so we should expect more Android handsets to be announced soon by the this company.

Vodafone is the operator currently officially endorsing for Ericsson. With the Satio purchase there are going to be more at work with the new phone deals. Orange has so far denied tying deals with the Satio. But as time moves there are supposed to be more to be coming on the way.

Soon major companies like T-Mobile and O2 will be stocking up on the new deals with the Satio. There are going to be new camera MP that is loaded with the Xenon and the LED flash. There is going to be GPS provision with this cute model.

The touch display is going to be based on Symbian S60 edition with the new OS systematization.

There is also quite a high price attached to this hefty little device. But Vodafone is offering as high as £35 or £40 every month for the major contract of two years coming with their opening deal. The handset however comes for free. Orange has sort of denied any plans with the Satio price offer but when they do work they are expected to bring the same kind of price tag.

This actually enables the phone processor to give a speed of 1 GHz and 7.2 Mbit every second on its downlink speed.
