Does anyone have the MMR70 FM Transmitter?
Does it work on the Aino? Sony Ericssons website says it does (and to be honest I have no reason to dispute it as Sony Ericsson seems to be quite good with accessories) |

I've been looking forward to this phone for quite some time, and after some of the reviews I've read, I'm feeling quite disheartened. Although I know I shouldn't believe everything I read, so I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on some of the concerns I have:
1. I'm worried about the response time of the operating system, and the lags that lots of people have apparently encountered. I've also heard of the touchscreen freezing, and the phone having to be restarted.
2. I've heard that you HAVE to use the touchscreen for certain functions and commands. I know that you have to for the camera settings, etc but what else?
3. I've heard, and read, that when taking photos and videos, it can sometimes take a long period of time to save the image, and before you can take another one. In some cases I've heard of it taking up to 10 seconds on an 8GB memory card?
4. With regards to the memory card, I've heard that it tries to update the media everytime you go into the media menu, which slows down the phone for a period of time.
5. Are you able to use the old style media menu (like the one on the W995) when the slider is shut?
6. What sort of things are you restricted to when the slider is closed (i.e new style media menu, etc)
7. One of my main concerns is the video playback. I'm aware that the videos can be converted using the Media Go service, which I assumes automatically converts it to the right screensize, etc. What I'm concerned about is that I have a lot of videos off my old phones, and on my PC that I'd be looking to move to the phone, and I'm concerned that with the unusual screen resolution that the videos might appear distorted or 'stretched'. Is anyone able to confirm this?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure that I'm not going to have more problems with the phone than what it's worth! |

For those of you who aren't entirely happy I just have to ask, is there EVER any new device anywhere that has no trouble at all? Secondly people here who are contemplating to buy one need to remember that the people who post here does not represent the majority, most people probably feels happy with their phone.
Currently NExus 4, but want Xperia ZR. |

I don't worry that Aino has some bugs. I'm sure there are updates ahead, which will fix most of them. This is one of SE's most importent phones for 2009, so I believe they won't neglect Aino.
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

Personally i feel SE just doesn't care about its customers, fair enough some devices have bugs at the beginning, but the aino should not have any, why? It took SE 5 months to release this device (which still isn't available on any networks here), in that time the device should have been given numerous firmware updates which should have tackled all bugs. Most manufactures take 1-3 months to release a device, SE take 5months and in that time it is perfectley acceptable to expect no bugs at all. Why release a device that is full of bugs? The bugs aren't small either, touch screen freezing, extremely laggy menus, slow camera etc.
Also you say that that "does not represent the majority", well if a main website (magazine) has given the aino a poor review there has to be a problem, as they will have recieved pleanty of these devices to test to see if there are any bugs etc.
The W995 didn't have any bugs on release so far 99.99% of people are extremely happy with there purchase.
I have a feeling that SE realise there are problems with the aino, as the Aino has dissapeared from Phones 4 u stores and is no longer listed to buy on there website. So far no operaters (in the UK) are selling the Aino only the CPW, perhaps that is why the aino is taking so long to be released here.

The W995 was pretty similar OS wise to previous releases.
Aino represents somewhat of a new direction as the Touch part of the UI has never been implemented to such an extent on an A200 phone before.
I hope all the issues are ironed out with the next update though as it is a nice looking capable phone - a200 has a lot of fans.
It strange because I've had my Satio for a couple of days now and I'm experiencing nothing of the bugs I've read on some other threads so each to their own I guess.

To those who have the (EU ver.) Aino, does it display Chinese/Japanese/Korean?
wikipedia's startpage would be a good way of checking.

Yep, it's stunning. I just got sick of waiting. I can get black everywhere, but white is just not here.  I won't take Rachael , she's to big for me.  so I'll wait another 2 weeks and judge it, if it will fill my needs. Think so
