It has everything to do with the main menu too. At this point, the Aino's media menu and phone functions are set as two separate functions and this is why the media menu closes when you open the slider (One of the insiders pointed this out in the rumours thread). Then may change this and extend the touch to the main menu/ dpad to the media men. but I wouldn't know until its out. neither would you.
Give me one good reason why, when SE chose to hand these preview phones out to reviewers, they didn't simply state "the touch functions will be extended to other menus when it's out"? Why, if that was top secret and subject to an NDA, would they allow the phone to "previewed" in such depth at all? Why, if the phone is simply unfinished and SE don't know how's it going to turn out yet, would they even announce the model - let alone hand prototypes out?
Either the UI on this phone is simply the way it is, or SE have massively screwed up in allowing all these poor reviews to be published without the full facts. Either way, it's a massive misjudgment on SE's part. Isn't it?

Because their R&D may be working on it as the phone was unveiled and it's too early to tell if the OS can be fully ported to touch use? Maybe because they wanted to present a proof of concept first? There still ARE a few months before the phone is on sale, isn't there? If it was as good as ready, they'd be selling it right now, wouldn't they?
There is no massive screwup. Microsoft allowed the blogs to use and feel WinMo 6.5's UI way before it was complete. palm allowed people to write first impressions of the pre while the WebOS was still in infancy. They were all incomplete in their own way. And that is the reason why these articles are called first looks/ previews and not reviews. |

Look guys, we will all tommorow, there is some confrence thing which talks abou the aino/Yari/idou, that is where they will give any more info regarding the aino. Tbh i expect se to announce the aino will have a full touchscreen but i doubt very much that the interface will change at all, why else would they change the settings menu to "list" instead of the currents tabs menu |

I've always said its best to wait to see the final edition and how it performs. Speculation at this stage is nothing but rumour talk - I should know!

Yeah  I remember huge discussions about the colors for K750. Sofia was also praised and doomed before release, so, keep going. I'm enjoying it (most of the time)

^^ That bronze coloured version of the K750 never did see the light of day did it? 
As long as there is a white version of Aino then there is no beef on my part.

I don't think Aino will ever have full touch capability.
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 |

As I said before, it's not a smartphone with limited touch. It's a feature phone with touch capabilities and I seriously feel there's nothing wrong in that. Perhaps unpopular among touchscreen fans and SE fans who expect more (myself included), but absolutely fine if it's confined to Media only. But it would be silly though if they didn't make the browser touch capable as well epecially if it is viewed in landscape and you have this long thing to hold with the D-pad so far away. I'd definitely buy it if the browser has touch interface.

THE INTERENT ON THE AINO IS TOUCH SCREEN
Scroll to 4minutes 15seconds on the video, and when he clicks on the internet button two differet icons come up on the bottom lef & right on the screen, and he touches the icons on the screen and that leads him back to the main menu, these are touch screen, the internet must have touch support why else would new touch buttons appear on th screen on the interent???
