My friend wants to get a E71, so I'm planning to sell him mine within this week and wait for Idou. How disappointing to see that the release date is still so far away.

Now I need to look for a temporary phone until Idou is released. Only hope they speed things up a little. The last SE phone I actually waited for was the K850 but I went for the N82 instead (due to the popularity of its xenon flash camera).

I hope I am making the right choice now (again, waiting for SE).

Ok, I usually go for original set as well cause dont wanna regret with some bugs the AP may contain.

I only worry that they lower their 12MP to 8MP because 12MP is not achievable? Is that possible? Overall, this phone makes a lot of people drool, including me!

mcchin,
Thanks for sharing. I'm plain skeptical about AP products. Dont mind me. Just need to check with you guys - how's the firmware updating process like for a SE phone? Is it more complex than upgrading the firmware of a Nokia phone?

Or is it the same, update via software on PC, straight forward?

I guess everyone is waiting for this Satio and Aino. How come does the Aino get better ratings at GSMArena.com compared to Satio? I was poisoned with this phone since... CNY this year. Now seems like the wait is neverending.

Every time I want to get a Sony Ericssson phone, it gets delayed for n-months. The same thing happened with the K850i back then and I ended up with a N82.

I am so looking forward to get this and like everyone else, hope SE does a good job with the camera.

Not sure if I got this right but at the moment, we cannot send a business card from a Nokia phone to an SE phone, yes? Is this due to the OS difference? Will we be able to once Satio is out with Symbian S60 OS? Just a curious tech question.

I just went to the local phone store in town and asked if Satio will be out soon, the salesman replied to me saying that I will have to wait till Dec. Damn!

OMG OMG OMG!! It's finally out, probably check back in a few days for the official RRP in Msia... Hope it's not exceeding 2.5k also.

No news and then suddenly out, shocking! Anyone has it yet?
