    It's not just a UK thing then.

    Yup, BST-33 is definitely 950-1000mAh (depending on its age, 09Wxx models will be 1000mAh). BST-40 is higher, but I am not sure if it fits - it's a fraction thicker and only ever came out for a couple of UIQ models (W960 was perhaps one, P1i the other?).

    If it does fit the BST-40, then it's pretty poor that SE has bundled a smaller capacity battery in the box to safe what's probably only a few cents. It needs as much battery power as it can get.

    Perhaps he has a battery that is not official and not made for teh Satio. I mean jsut becasue that guy had a bigger battery doesn't mean they are available for full production yet. Still, stupid of him to brag about that though.

    This is my theory

    - At the planning stage, Sony Ericsson planned to use BST-33 with their new handset.
    - After finished their prototype, BST-33 wasn't enough for Satio
    - They had two choice. ( A ) redesign Satio to consume less energy ( B ) stick with the old design and start new battery production line and hit the market later.
    - They chose ( B ) because they didn't want to chance the release schedule.

    I read some comments about Ericsson Satio. The issue is about the battery. Forget the battery.
    The main thing is, keep freezing the phone. At least two o three times a day. Only to reboot is
    remove the battery. its annoying all the time everyday.. wanna disappointed for ericsson.
    This is my third phone in two weeks since i had a satio, in carphone warehouse. But i gave up they are all the same.For me its not recommended this phone to all my freinds.
    Could someone rectify this problem. perhaps the software of satio ericsson are lowsy..
    Please, if you could let me know.. thank you
