The Sony Ericsson Satio is a metal cased smartphone, announced by Sony Ericsson at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on the 15th of February 2009 as the Idou (pronounced "I do").^[1] It was released on October 7th, 2009 in the UK in 3 colour schemes: Black, Silver and Bordeaux (Red). ^[2]

The focus of the phone is the high quality playback of music and video, as well as photography. The camera is located on the back of the phone, behind a slider and features a xenon flash. On the side of the phone, there is a shutter button, and a button which allows you to switch between still and video modes. Next to this is a rocker switch for zooming in and out. Also on this side is a button for playback of photos or video. The other side of the phone has a sliding lock button and a covered slot for a MicroSD card.

The front of the phone is dominated by a 3.5-inch, 16:9 ratio 360x640 TFT resistive touchscreen.^[3] There is also a front facing camera for video calling. At the bottom of the touchscreen are three small buttons: green (left), white (centre), and red (right).

In terms of software, Satio uses an Symbian Foundation operating system based on the Symbian/S60 platforms.^[4] It will use the PlayNow service, Sony Ericsson's mobile content platform, and is part of the company's new Entertainment Unlimited service.^[5] In terms of connectivity, it is Wi-Fi-enabled and has a GPS chip for navigation and location-based services. It also supports full Flash for video playback.
