Interesting. So both hardware and software engines are required for the best results.

Exactly, this is why iPods never beat sony walkmans in sound quality. sony walkmans have s-master DSP (Processor and Amplifier in one) chips and clear audio sound engine.

afaik not all the Sony  's have the S-Master digital amps on board. I know the current x series do.
It's the chip Sony uses. They stick with the same (or same brand) with most of its products and it pays off!

Aino or Satio, can't decide. Satio is a bit too expensive for my tastes, but if i can find it cheap.
So which would you go for?
I'm looking at the two handsets myself right now. The price will fall on the Satio once it's officially released. I'm actually a fan of S60, so the Satio has my interest.
I'm going to read the reviews on the Satio and Aino and then wait for the "early adopter" pricing to drop before I bite the bullet. |

How annoying, the phone is capable of using touchscreen yet SE have chosen not to implement it into the menus, 3rd party software is likley to be touch enabled as well. I wouldn't of minded if they just added touch and not changed the ui, it still would be usefull than no touch at all. 
That is exactly one of the reasons the Aino is so appealing to me. I really like the UI where buttons is required, and I've never liked touch-screen much. I fear that implementing touch in the menus would only slow everything down.
It does however surprise me a bit that they seem to support touch in JavaME applications. I think that should be considered a bonus actually. Then the Aino will be able to run both touch-applications and games/applications that requires buttons. I don't think many phones can do that.
The only problem with the Aino is: It's not here yet!!! 
I don't suppose anyone knows when it'll arrive in Denmark? The shops don't know anything. I'm close to buying one from ebay.co.uk. |

Thank you for the link ... what you found here is very important and interesting,i want to know and ask something...
First it changes my look on the Aino completely,i found it strange that the original sony multi media did not include the internet browser on the touch screen,internet is all the fun of a touch screen,without it it's boring.
this video shows us that we can use the touch screen also with opera mini 5 beta,but is it a full touch?,can i open links? or is it only to move the picture right/left/up/down,or make it bigger and smaller? |

Indeed, the double standard is very appealing. I wonder how it works out when it's in my hands. It won't be long now, hope to have it before the weekend.

well ive elected to be the guniea pig for you all and went ahead and bought one!
will have it friday 
went black. i mean white is good, really good, but would get a little dirty over time!
http://phones.shop.ebay.com.a[....]sid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&_sc=1
now in vast supply on ebay... good prices too. i didnt think it would launch at this price. cheaper than what c905/w995 launched... i thought it would have launched at bout $800aud. though financial markets seem pretty good at the moment so im sure that has contributed.
i ordered this morning when only 3 sellers had them, cheapest. only because i wanted the phone by this weekend. i get home from work now. others have it. o well, whats another $10aud. at least im gonna have it for the weekend now.
and since its something relatively 'new' we have seen from  recent times, ill do my first review on a phone for you all!
peace out
