UK Satio Launch Delayed

Bad news for those patiently (or not) awaiting the arrival of Satio in the UK tomorrow … it’s been delayed. Carphone Warehouse, the UK’s largest independent mobile retailer, was due to launch the 12.1 MP handset tomorrow, but that has been put on hold with no date given as to when it will go on sale. One imagines (and hopes) that it’s soon given that sales material and expectations had all been geared towards a launch date of tomorrow. The delay was only announced today so it is presumably something outside Carphone’s control.

Whether or not this delay will affect Orange and Vodafone’s launches isn’t clear yet. It may be that it’s just Carphone that’s affected and the other two will go ahead with a launch tomorrow as scheduled. Carpone would be selling generic unbranded, unlocked handsets whereas both Orange and Vodafone stores would sell branded locked handsets, hence the stock assignments for each of the three companies would be different and thus it may be just Carphone that’s experiencing a delay. We’ll know soon enough …

    I have had mine on pre-order now for a while and I had several date changes for release today I questioned it and got the following response :(

    “Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your email.

    There has been a problem with the software on the Satio and the release has been put back for now. We are still awaiting a new release date for this handset.

    Kind Regards”
