12.1 Megapixel Camera

The Sony Ericsson Satio features a groundbreaking 12.1 Megapixel camera employing Cyber-Shot technology to deliver amazing image quality. Premium digital camera features such as a Xenon Flash, Autofocus, Face detection and Smile detection all help to produce stunning photography whatever the conditions. Sony Ericsson have also combined the touchscreen interface to offer unique features such as touch focus which allows users to focus certain areas in the viewfinder.

Full Touch Screen

The Satio (formerly known as the Idou) features a 3.5 inch TFT touchscreen, capable of displaying up to 16M colours for amazing detail and quality. Navigate with ease using your fingers and rotate the screen using the built in accelerometer. Running an all new touch based version of the Symbian operating system promises to give a fluent and intuitive touch screen experience.

HSDPA

HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi you can use your Sony Ericsson phone on Vodafone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.

GPS

With built in GPS you can use the Idou to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general Sat Nav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software.

A-GPS

A-GPS is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them. When combined with a GPS enabled mobile phone, the addition of A-GPS enables a faster GPS satellite lock.

Music Player

With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.

Stereo FM Radio

With a Stereo FM Radio built in to the Vodafone Sony Ericsson Satio, you will always have access to the latest tunes on your phone. Tune in to your favourite station, whenever you want, straight from your phone.

Web Browser

With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.

Bluetooth 2.0

Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.
