If you’ve been jonesing for the Sony Ericsson Satio, you’re in luck because the handset is now available in Sony Style stores for a mere $650 unlocked.

I’d consider the Satio a cougar because it’s still pretty darn sexy but is kind of old – it was announced nearly a year ago. It has a ton of features: a whopping 12-megapixel camera with a plethora of auto-detecting and focusing features, 3G (on AT&T bands), WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and much more. The only problem is that it’s running Symbian. Don’t jump on top of me Symbian fans, I know it’s a more-than-capable operating system but it lacks the visual panache or polish of some of the competitors.

Satio users, let me know why I’m wrong in the comments.

    Nice phone, but too pricey IMO and lacking touchscreen… I would take an Android phone instead

    Sorry that I didn’t mention it Jose, but it does have touchscreen. Still too expensive in my book.
