For the last ffs they weren't doing things half assed. They were probably trying to see what the respone to such a Japanese style phone in technology will be and if it will sell well. As we can see too many people are touch screen trolls so it isn't going to go anywhere with sales. |

You act like all Japanese touchscreen phones are limited like this, they're not.
The touchscreen on that is implemented throughout the phone.
That one is not limited like the Aino as well.
Those are only some examples of the touchscreen phones that are designed the same, yet their touchscreens are fully functional throughout the phone. And also, SEJ have yet to make a touchscreen phone in Japan yet, and if they released this over there, I doubt it'd sell as well as similar phones from SoftBank, Docomo, or KDDI.
If you do know of a phone that is like the Aino from Japan, you're welcomed to prove me wrong.

And the question continues to be - why?
I see no sense in this design at all, and I really couldn't care less if it's big in Japan (which it apparently isn't anyway). If you have a big screen which is touch-enabled and you're asking the user to use that screen to interact with the phone on some levels, it's nonsensical to prevent them from doing the same elsewhere. Why should the user have to switch between touching the screen in one menu and not in the next? It's like using your mouse to point and click on your PC one minute, and then having to drop down into DOS just to read an email. Silly.
For all the justifications given here, in reality this is just a poor concept, and smacks of unfinished software and under-resourced R&D. All the people trying to defend this would be the first to laugh at any other company trying to push such a poorly considered UI.

Because the sun rises in the east. There . Are ya happy?
This whining is getting really tiresome. Look, every single person here is blessed with free will. if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's as simple as that. Some people like this concept for what it is and they sure as hell don't need you or the likes of you to put words in their mouth. Like I said before, if it comes out with full touch, well and good. If it doesn't, I still like it. If one simply can't live without full touch in an SE, get a Satio and stop complaining.
Nobody's justifying anything. People who like the Aino are just stating so. Why can't the likes of you ever learn to live and let live?

Seriously, this is a forum, it's a place where people exchange ideas and opinions and some of those opinions will be contrary to yours, there isn't anything you can do about that. If you like something great, if other people don't like it and want to point out why it's wrong, that's great too, that's what forums were invented for. Welcome to the internet!

The UI looks great, its based on A2 and that is what I'm used to. Never had any problems with it in the past and with Aino its been enhanced by a extra touch based camera and media menu. The A2 UI wasn't crippled without the touch enhancements before so how can it be crippled now? The W995 isn't 'crippled', neither is the C905.
With or without the touch I'd still get it just for the screen and PS3 interoperability.
Anyway, roll on Week 40.

Form. Exchange ideas. Opinions. Well and good.
Proclaiming your view point as the only one that is right and basically calling everyone else who has an opposing PoV as idiots? Not so much.

Well I for one think it's great you're developing a little self awareness, so best of luck with that..

They are honest, dont be blinded by your love of all things se. Se are obviously behind, why else would they release a half touch screen phone?? And NO its not to test the market, whats the point in having touch there if you can barley use it??? |

Just for fun like the touch buttons on K850 & C902 . Nobody needs it but it makes things more fun.
