I decided to post my experience now after 48 hours of examining the Aino, because it seems I can just keep finding stuff to write, and it's already a fairly long text to read.

Thanks for the review, your review expressed the concerns i have about the device.
Video Recording- I would love to have a decent video recorder on my phone, but it seems SE never listen. Although I didnt expect good video recording, after the poor vide quality of the X1
Touch screen- Would have expected the touchscreen to be on par with any other touch screen device, just because its limeted touch it shouldn't mean the touch screen doesnt work well.
Limeted available apps- Major concern, i doubt there will be anything available for the aino

I have a Ps3
That reminds me, that is the only reason why i want an aino 
For those who want an aino mainly for the Ps3 function it is a MUST you get play TV (ad on for PS3), if you buy that you can:
-Watch live TV on the aino
-Access all the channels available on digital (free view) on Aini
-Record TV shows on the PS3 and watch them on the aino
Play TV is pretty cheap, retail price £40

I'm not sure they don't listen. I actually think they tried, but I just think the standard is a little higher.

I'd say the touch screen is a bit above average, and just below Android/iPhone.
You have touch in the media-menu, and in JavaME applications that supports it, such as Opera Mini. (Yes you can also click links with your finger).
Personally I'm happy to have the standard UI instead of touch. That's why I believe the Aino, despite its current flaws, is the phone for me. I'm also glad that everything from the media-menu can be accessed via the standard UI. Aino is a great idea. Now it just needs to be perfected.

I wouln'd say there are limited applications. It's mostly games that suffer from the odd screen resolution. I think most applications will adapt to the screen. |

I think the thing I'm most concerned about is converting my videos.
It was a nightmare when I got the X1, converting all of my videos to fill the whole screen, getting the quality right, etc.
With it's slightly unusual resolution, I'm a bit worried about videos looking a bit too stretched.
If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know! |

Media Go app from SE site will automatically convert it to fit Aino. Not the fastest conversion but does it well 
for those wondering, retail unit does have a torch app.
lastly, to all, i am withdrawing my promise of a review... ive decided to sell the phone. dont ask why, i think i want the x2, or something else. i may even wait to later batches of production. used it for less than a day so i probably cant answer too many q's. im sure mr lou will answer all your q's. he has also posted a short review

i have tried Media Go with a C905...
the video Quality is SUPERB.... but converted videos have the maximum framerate of 15 which is very unpleasant...
i don't know if it goes for higher framerates for the Aino..
i have tried to achieve the same quality with several apps... but with no luck!!! |

Nonsense. Once I converted a whole episode of House and the quality was crystal clear with maximum fps. The audio was very good as well.

I'll definitely have to try the Media Go application later on then, sounds good.

@>500: Have you had problems mounting the phone as a flash drive? I doesn't mount anything for me on my Ubuntu Linux PC, and neither at my Windows PC at work. Nothing happens. Does it work with you?
(Go to Settings -> Connections -> USB -> Standard mode and choose the USB Flash thingy) |

Is there something wrong with the phone? Why do you want to wait for latter production models? Please post your views so that potential buyers like us can decide. |

Some video-recording comparing, Nokia N82 vs SE Aino
http://dewfall.dk/N82vsAINO/
Some things I notice:
- Max framerate I can achieve with Aino seems to be 19 fps according to the Totem video player in Ubuntu. But I don't think it measures correctly.
- Movement on the Aino is kinda chunky (and even more so if I enable stabilizer), while the N82 gives smooth movement
- Aino has better colors when it's bright. N82 tends to give brownish colors, which I've also noticed on earlier videos I've recorded with N82
- N82 does a good job indoors, while Aino gives me a dark useless video with flicker. Aino is worthless when it comes to indoor video-recording. Sure, you can turn on the spotlight, but who wants that in his face?
- N82 gives almost twice the filesize, most probably because of better quality + higher framerate |

So at the moment Aino is far from entertainment unlimited.  I hope SE to fix some of the problems in future updates.
The Nokia's video examples have around 28 fps, but the Aino's videos have 24 fps, which is quite well. Just like a TV. This is what KMPlayer says.
