The new firmware has been confirmed as R1CA037
However, if you have a Vodafone handset they wont give any details on times scales for firmware relases which is very poor customer service. Speaking to SE direct, you seem to get more answers it should be due to release on a Vodafone branded flavour in 2/3 weeks
The sooner a debranding is service arrives the better, DaVinci is coming very soon i believe. Ive also found a SE Tools but it requires hardware in order to use it.

Once the phone is debrand is like a completely new handset. It’s so much quicker. 
If any one interested have a look on http://www1.davinciteam.com its worth have a look.
If there are any questions please ask.

Are people still happy with this, have the problems with it been ironed out?
How is the Mp3 player? And web browser? (in your opinions!)
There was a update for the Satio on the 24 Nov, which fixed most of the major problems with the handset. However, it does have a few little niggles with the handset. There is another update due Jan. Its a new smartphone on the market so there are going to be teething problems to start with.
I have had no problems with the MP3 player, as i use this rather then my iPod now. The web browser is not bad IMO, it does all i ask it to do which is good enough for me.
However, the Satio major selling point is its camera which is simply fanatic for a camera phone.
Thanks Andyd.
Another question if I may - how is the screen to use, I heard some mentions of a stylus being used, I really really dont want that!
Ive had no problems with it personally. The was a bit laggy with the orignal firmware on the device, now its been update i have no problems.
Few emails, one written letter, gave them my trading standards ref number, quoted "Supply of goods and services act 1982" pointed out a clause in my T&Cs
It’s just got some software quirks which i ended up getting pretty annoyed about.
This is a small list of problems I had with the device:
1/ Internet - Time Errors and other Internet errors
2/ Delayed Vibrate SMS and when receiving phone calls.
3/ Caller ID Problems
4/ Annoying pause between music tracks
5/ Lack of any support
There are a few more other little software problems on the whole. However, I do still like the phone and I have put my other Voda simcard in it at the moment. There are some areas where the Satio is better than the iPhone, as the Satio allows themes changing sms tones etc... and it has a better signal reception.
