The media menu is selected.So it all fits.Either use the touchscreen or media navigation or the keypad.
Posted by hihihans
Touch navigation wouldn't be to hard to put in. So, why not?
we'll see next week 
Posted by HxH
as touch responsive for media nothing to concern about, I'm must say that very pleased for this media touch so smooth as you wish.
will be another goodies-all rounder that very interesting phone too I'm guess.

So what's the cam sensor used here anyway? would it be a Samsung, Omnivision one or this new 8mp sensor 1/3.2" IMX046PQ?

Same one in the W995 I think. Man if it is that cheap then holy hell when my parents do decide to get me a new phone this could be it. That's if SE doesn't wow me with something else before that.

But the image quality is miles ahead of W995, try another guess

IMX046PQ
■ Diagonal 5.76 mm (Type 1/3.2) 8.11M effective pixels
■ Frame rate: 15 frame/s
Exmor

Price isn't bad at all, and will surely drop over the next few weeks. I spent a bit less then that on my 5800 but that was several months after it's release.
Hopefully someone here buys it soon because we have plenty of qustions
(or atleast I do)

WOW! SONY lens!
Posted by bodeh6
Too bad Aino didn't have a Xenon flash. With that lens and Xenon flash it would have been a true photo winner at night.
Posted by Bonovox
Just played with a dummy model in Phones4U and even the dummy model feels nice. Looks nicer than I thought and keys feel nice.
Posted by hihihans
Are those paperclips in the box?
Posted by bronxdude
I really hope someone can get it so we can ask some questions and hopefully get a user review
Posted by hihihans
I'm waiting for the shop to give me a ring.
Posted by bronxdude
^^ When you get your phone, please take a lot of unboxing pics, please mate.
Also please tell us about the sound quality when playing music and video.
this phone wont get here in the philippines until November.
thanks
Posted by hihihans
I will. Lots of pics vids and noise.
I hope next week, That's what I'm told.
Posted by Bonovox
And tell us of the build quality too. No shaky slider I hope
Posted by hihihans
That's what I'm most scared of. It wil be my first slider. I'll check it for sure.
Posted by Bonovox
Ok in the O2 store brochure for October the Aino and Satio are both in it.
Posted by Lightspeed_x
@Sambouka: Is that info on the sensor official?... where did you get it?
Thanks!
Posted by sambouka
I believe Razec can confirm or not.

best slider ever had I must say better than nicely w995 smooth and soft mechanism very lovely though, testing on latest software available here BA04x that much better smooth touch as I had mentioned before about software stable working fine run on through day out.
dedicated music chip available here made sound quality superior than any others music phone in the class above w995 I admitted that things for sure. It's very nice and deep clear sound power through BT stereo headset.
3 things only (for me) w995 gains advantage over this galz are superior build made (brushed aluminum) dual stereo speaker and less open slider when operate through phone function. for kick-stand is quite like desk stand come in box so I give it draw.
Must try phone that you will fall in love with

I seriously hate this image, it is so missleading, unless of course SE were clever enough to add touch screen to the main menu?
Posted by 10123
Edit: Just seen the tarrifs for the aino, available for free on tarrifs, as low as £20 a month http://www.phones4u.co.uk/sho[....]s.asp?ItemKey=288851&NetKey=11
Posted by Bonovox
The menu icons on this phone are they the new permanent look of the new menus? Looks nice but when I first seen it I never liked it much but its grown on me. Only thing I dont like is when its open its too long
Posted by roanmy
What is the SAR on this phone?
Posted by tranced
it should be there: http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]arinformation/aino?lc=en&cc=gb

It's not

that's what "should" was for

Unboxing video
Posted by EMAGDNIM
oohhh consider me as being excited! I wish it had a lens cover though
Posted by se_love
Again, such a sexy packaging. I love to put the boxes or at least take the fronts and post em on a big board to show which phones I had and this packaging will suffice. I love how it comes with a stand as well.
Posted by stumbliene
Touch screen is only for Media menu ....still so nice
Posted by mediar
But why doesn't Aino come with CST-75 charger, instead that stupid old charger cable? With CST-75 you can charge your phone and listen to music at one time.
Posted by stumbliene
thats true ....but then how often are you charging your phone and wanting to listen to music? mostly if imn charging my phone i have heaps of other devices to use....and you can charge it on a music stand ( MDS-65 )

to confirm, the phone (Aino) has DSP?
Posted by EMAGDNIM
I'm waiting till more sellers on eBay have this phone in stock (and read some reviews) before I bite. From everything I've read on it so far it sounds like a winner!
Posted by idumbakumar
I don't think it has a DSP built in!
Posted by roanmy
SAR is 0.74 ^_^
Satio is 1.58... O_o
Posted by chenmartin
Hi, guys.
I have just joined few years ago.
I want to ask, what is DPS, ?
@ Bro Roanmey?
Could you tell me, what is the meaning of that point?

What is SAR information?
And is the single led in Aino more powerful than the double led flash in K550/K750?
Posted by NightBlade
SAR is basically the amount of electromagnetic energy the device emits from its radio. Not a very important point.
