Satio Going the Aino Way

Sony Ericsson seems to be having real difficult times. After all the word of Aino (priced EUR 420 [US $ 620]) being facing problems with some touchscreen problem (Though Sony Ericsson calls Aino problem a media rumor and claims that Aino has been functioning perfectly), now it’s the Sony Ericsson Satio (it was previously called Idou). Satio seems to be having some software bug issue. Like Aino, Satio too is not anymore on the. Incidentally, Satio and Aino were launched at the same time; and looks like they will end up having the same fate. Sony Ericsson though, along with Carphone Warehouse, refuses to accept the fact that Satio and Aino have been drew away from the market. You may read about the Aino issue in detail here- Sony Ericsson Runs Into Trouble With Touchscreen Issue On Aino.

Although Sony Ericsson refuses to accept the fact that there is any serious problem, it has released a firmware to fix the bug and also speed up the process. However, the new firmware is available only in a few parts out of all Satio markets.

People who have used this firmware are satisfied as it seemed to solve the problem (the bug). But again, this is applicable to certain section of Satio users which has the access to this firmware.

The firmware not available to all Satio user sounds a quite strange as this may result in Sony Ericsson’s sales falling down (the drop in the Sony Ericsson mobile phone sales already point out that)

The Satio cell phone is one that costs a fortune (with a high price tag of EUR 550 [US $ 800]), but now looks like it may cost people and Sony Ericsson more than a fortune.  With both much-talked about mobile phones not living up to customer’s expectations, and being not on sale can cause Sony Ericsson a good deal of loss.
