SONY ERICSSON SATIO v/s HTC HD 2...which one to buy

A

hi guys

i am confused between satio and hd 2.....right now i am using n 95 8 gb and now i wana upgrade

i love to shoot pics and movie
and as i am working i need battery backup
and in future i need to check mails on mobile also

had read so many reviews but i am confused that whom should i go for

if you are using these phone then kindly reply with pro and con of both mobile separately

SE Aino and Satio are eligible for a special award. Most number of bugs in a consumer product. Stay away from these phones.

HD2 on the other hand is pure bliss.

If you love taking photos and videos, you better stick to N95 for now and get a good Panasonic Lumix camera.

Why no one talks about Motorola DROID???

Is not it launched??

Droid is a CDMA phone. Milestone is the GSM version. Motorola is planning to launch Milestone very soon.

Satio definitely has a better camera,but the camera in hd2 is decent enough.Regarding sound quality hd2 is way better than previous htc phones.As a whole you cannot compare these two devices.the price difference is also about 5-6k.IMHO hd2 is a better option,as you are a symbian user, any o.s even winmo 6.5 will be good for you.

Guys, satio is good only on paper. It has too many bugs and runs proprietory os, making it a worthless phone. Just keep it totally away from your view. There much netter camera phones out there.

Satio has ur beloved S60v5 OS

not propritory one......and yes I agree it has too many bugs
I really think its better to wait for X10

dude hv ya tried using HD2 ?
Try 1ce n u'll be blown up !!!

^^^ Man please go with the requirements....the person needs good cam and video quality...and a good battery backup too

Its not that HD2 is not good...but it just doesnt suits the requirement...

As ashishstillthere (thread starter) is a previous symbian user and an N95 user he wont like the HD2's video and picture quality

Yes Sujoy,I also think you are right,the o.p wants a multimedia phone not a smartphone.Omnia hd is a good option in that case,symbian o.s,very good display,good audio quality but volume could have been louder(hacks are available to increase it though)and it is solidly built,better than n97 anyday.
BTW hd2 can play 720p videos effortlessly with core player and tcmp,gsm arena did not mention that.

How about Sony ericsson Vivaz, Vivaz pro??

In that case, why not keep his current phone as I said earlier. I seriously doubt if any of the phones are worth replacing N95 just for a better camera. Going for a digicam is a much better option IMO.

buy HTC hd2 ......satio has many bugs and problems...

ohk.......i thought u r telling by all round performance....and yeah Satio is full of bugs so it is preferable to wait for stable f/w ! :razz:

ya but i think N95 got one of the best camera in N series yr !!

The SE Satio is a good phone no doubt if you primary aim is clicking pictures and video shooting. at 12MP it is one of the few camera phones that can even give entry level compact cams a run for their money.
BUT if you are also going to use the internet a lot on it, then Satio just does not perform well. Its reistive touchscreen is a nightmare to use.
As for HD2, well i havent used it, but i can say from the HTC Heros, internet user experience, that HD2 will be better. DOnt know about the camera quality. but after using the capacitive touch screen on HTC phones is easily much much better than the resistive touch on SE.

Get Sony Ericsson Satio if you feel it satisfies your requirements. It is hardly 26k now.

But now Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has been launched for Rs.35k mrp. *www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10-2964.php

No Xenon flash though.

But it has a great camera, UI and Android.

The first firmware update has fixed almost everything.

It's Symbian OS 9.4 S60v5.

Nokia 5800 was as buggy when it was launched. Stable firmware has been out. But now going for X10 is better.

^^dude. you have no idea how buggy Satio and Aino were. SE had to stop sale of these phones in Europe due to the super buggy firmwares and even after patches it's still really bad experience as per reviewers and users of these two phones. 5800's bugs during release were far less annoying.

^ I've read about fone batches being withdrawn. That was just the case with Aino though which still sucks.

Satio is fine now. I've used it and liked it. But X10 ftw now.

yeah ico is right......as now satio has got a much more stable f/w !! :-D

Xperia X10 Rocksss

I think VIVAZ/(PRO) is a good buy

@desiibond-Ever used the Satio?? Every s60 phone has been removed at at some time or the other. I have the satio and its a gem of a phone IMO. But if yu dont need the xenon, i suggest you go for the Vivaz. 21k and a stellar buy.

This is exactly where symbian sucks,too many bugs,too many updates,and now the signature thing.The thread started with satio vs hd2,which is IMO not much of a competition,HD2 is way too powerful.The o.p must have a budget o more than 35k,as hd2 is retailing for 38k(3k rise from last week)x10 is the best bet,oh!wait for milestone,ezone probably selling it for 30k.BTW vivaz has no chance with these beasts(milestone and hd2)

yup +1 for X10
Good cam quality and WVGA video recording @ 30fps
and looks very cool..

nope the total cost would be 36000

I did a quick resreach on gsmarena...

Sony ericsson Vivaz is rated (Overall 8.7) higher than XPERIA X10(~8.5)

HTC HD2 is rated at Overall 8.5I believe Vivaz offers a better value than other phones in its category...even though it might be slighlty inferior in technology

The vivaz isnt inferior in technology. It is the fastest S60 in the market ATM. Offers constant 24fps of HD recording, great sound quality and best of class still photography. And about gsmarena ratings, dont dwell much into those. The only problem with the vivaz is that its symbian.

^^ Vivaz is really interesting device...and SE has done its best to modify the dull looking S60 UI...
