@Mode: No problem.  I think I remember seeing a similar set-up on screenshots of the W995.
Interestingly I just tried out Remote Play with my PS3 and Aino. Very very impressed. Initially I thought it wasn't as good as on the PSP, but I just tried out my PSP and it was actually more laggy on the PSP and playback of music skipped where on Aino it sounded perfect.
I will add that Aino's image quality during remote play has a bit more noise than the PSP. The level of noise is like what you'd expect when watching a streamed movie clip. Movie playback is fine though and watching a blu-ray certainly wouldn't be affected by this slight amount of noise.

How bassy? It is impossible to give a clear answer to that because I can't measure bass. But rest assured it is very bassy. Sony Ericsson phones in my opinion are very good for bassy music and Aino is no exception.

No problem at all. And I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have related to Aino.

@ Muhammad-Oli
What color does the keypad light up? Do you happen to have shots of that?
Thanks in advance. |

It lights up white. I don't have a picture of that unfortunately but I did find this on GSMArena:
It does light up a bit better than that on my one, so I'll assume GSMArena's was like that due to it being a prototype.

I'm guessing the purplish blue color was just for demo? I saw a video on youtube that showed it with a different color than white : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba5lNEeqENM .Its around three minutes. |

Thanks for the answers so far, your answer for the bass was the kinda thing I was looking for
A few more questions if you can answer them
1. Do microSD's aside from Sandisk ones work OK? I'd assume so but the SE Press Release was very specific about Sandisk cards (I thought it would be marketing crap though)
2. Does the Aino have the ability to Shuffle a Playlist? My current Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can but pretty much every other device (not neccessarily a phone) that I have used can't, including a Sony PS3
3. I found out that you can fast forward through music by touching the progress bar in touch media mode. If you have a really long file such as a Podcast or a DJ Set does it get laggy (ie take a while to fast forward)? My 5800 XpressMusic lags on everything apart from WMA files and its fairly annoying.

Yeah that must have been for a few prototypes only. My white Aino is a proper production model and has white keypad lighting, the same as GSMArena's prototype had.

1. All MicroSD cards will work, I bet Sony has a contract with Sandisk that they need to fulfill and mentioning their name will be a part of it. Just watch you don't buy a fake branded MicroSD or a very very cheap one because they are notorious for becoming corrupted.
2 & 3. Unfortunately I have no playlists or lengthy media files on mine just yet, so I can't test this right now. 
Perhaps someone else will help you but if not, I will try to tomorrow if I get a chance.
With the two to three minute long music files I currently have on mine, touching the progress bar to fast forward is completely instant so I doubt there will be any problems, but I will try to find out anyway. The touchscreen side of the phone is very responsive and fast.

Great pics. You finally made up my mind to sell my Satio and get this. Wonderful pics, I'm so envious. Thanks.

That's great Goldenface. Were you not too happy with your Satio? I'm glad you liked the pictures.
@Platia1: I'm currently bluetoothing a 58 minute long podcast over to my Aino to test out the touch progress bar responsiveness. I won't be able to test playlists until I'm on my Windows computer though, as I'm currently on my Mac.
EDIT: Ok I just read below that playlists can be made on the fly. I never really use playlists so didn't know.

@platia1
I've not had any trouble shuffling playlists on my Aino. You have to create playlists through the 'old' A200 media browser though, you can't do it through the newer, landscape, touch-enabled media browser.
I have a dig bick
You read that wrong |

@Platia1: Ok I can confirm that touching the progress bar to fast forward and rewind is very good too. Listening to the 58 minute long Hospital Records podcast it never lagged once while I was purposely trying to make it do so. I was selecting different times backwards and forwards through the recording as quickly as I could and it never once paused to try to catch up. Playback was instant.
