I've been buying Sony Ericsson phones all my life and have never had any different. My friend had an iphone and hers lasted 5 months before it "packed up" and wouldn't what so ever any more. However, none of my Son Ericsson phones have done this for me and they do promise a lot more than they actually advertise. Their cameras ARE amazing and well fitted. I do believe that the iphone is no match for the satio and it is liked because (mainly) it's a "cool" thing to have and made by a very big and popular company known quite well for making good devices. I have got the satio and comparing it to the weight and the size if my friends old iphone I think it is more appropriate for a phone rather than a small laptop to carry around in your pocket.
