6. Messaging is easier... and prettier

Welcome to the final instalment

I always opt for full screen mode (qwerty keyboard) when typing a text or email, this way it does not matter if you use the stylus or your fingers (it does not effect people with bigger fingers). Older versions of iPhones cannot text in landscape mode.

For those of you who speed text you can still opt for the alphanumeric keyboard and can still turn on predictive text, or those of you who do not change the way you write your letters you can train your Satio to recognise your handwriting with the handwriting option.

 I actually purchased the Satio because of the Camera and the OS.

Having a phone with such a good camera saves carrying another device, so I have now cut down from three devices to 1 ie: Sat Nav, Camera and Mobile Phone, less items to lose or remember, and the Insurance is cheaper.

Getting back to the camera, the 12 Mega Pixels is absolutely fantastic to have, the images it takes are unbelievable. Print quality is remarkable if you use the right printer, paper and ink.

 The iPhone only offers a 2 Mega Pixels against the Satio’s 12 Mega Pixels. So all in all if nothing else sells this phone to you the camera should.
