Sony Ericsson relaeses new firmware for Satio, still not on sale. Aino on shelves

The high-end Sony Ericsson Satio has been through some serious software bug which caused it to shut-down randomly. The software bug issue caused a lot of British cellphone retailers, including Carphone Warehouse,  to stop selling the 12MP symbian powered phone.

While SE did deny that the software bug was a serious issue, they did accept that it cannot be fixed over-the-air. But, SE somehow managed to release the new firmware which they claim has fixed the bug. The new firmware update has been released only for some limited regions, making the situation even worse. Even after loosing a large chunk of sale during the holiday season, SE has still not been able to bring the phone back to shelves.

The buzz over the internet surely says that the once who have updated the firmware are now satisfied. The new firmware not only fixed the power-down bug but also speeded up the phone. Also, there were news that the Aino has been pulled out from sales due to a touchscreen issue. SE and Carphone Warehouse have confirmed that there are no issues with Aino and the phone was never pulled off the shelves. The touchscreen issue was a media rumour.

Overall, it looks like SE is having some tough time to come back to its original glory. Satio software bug and Aino touchscreen rumors have just made the issue worse with huge sales drop even during the holiday season.
