You can turn on t9 in the options I believe.
@HxH - My white Aino is perfectly clean
@ whoever asked about the aino ads - I see them on every bus stop in Yorkshire. They're on big advertising boards too. I've not seen them on the side of buses this time though. I remember the C905 was on the side every bus.
I have a dig bick

Does anyone know if Aino works with A2 uploader? I don't want to fry my white love.

Hi, would an Aino user answer to this questions, please?
1.- Is it possible to open the old media menu, start the Walkman player, and then close the slider and have it playing in the background to control it via the volume rocker? (same for the picture gallery)
2.- Does the camera have a self timer? (I ask this because i've read that it doesnt have EV controls nor scenes...
3.- Is there a noticeable difference while watching a video or picture in the screen compared with a 2.6 inches screen (W995, W960, P1)? (A picture or short video would answer this better)
4.- Can you mute a call using the volume rocker keys as with any other Sony Ericsson?
5.- Can someone post a low light video using the flash?
6.- Can you call the activity menu from the standby screen by touch (without opening the slider)?
7.- Can you use the activity menu to read your incoming messages without opening the slider? (same question for missed calls, could you reply a call by touch without opening the slider?)
8.- Can you snooze and deactivate alarms by touch?
9.- Can you start the camera or the music player without unblocking the screen (for example, by pressing the camera button)
10.-To users who has or had both the W995 and the Aino: Which one performs better in low light with flash?... do the fact that the Aino does not have Scenes nor EV controls make the imaging experience worst?...
Many many many thanks in advance for the answers you might provide.

The music continues playing and you can use the volume rockers, but you need to think of Aino like this: When the phone is open the touch screen is not useable. When it is shut, you can only use the touchscreen and it switches to touch screen interface. So if you're browsing images with the phone open, then you close it, you'll have to go through the touch menu to find the pictures again.
2.- Does the camera have a self timer? (I ask this because i've read that it doesnt have EV controls nor scenes...)
Yes.
3.- Is there a noticeable difference while watching a video or picture in the screen compared with a 2.6 inches screen (W995, W960, P1)? (A picture or short video would answer this better)
Not sure. The screen is probably a bit brighter and has more colours, but all SE screens are pretty good.
4.- Can you mute a call using the volume rocker keys as with any other Sony Ericsson?
Yes.
5.- Can someone post a low light video using the flash?
Maybe later.
6.- Can you call the activity menu from the standby screen by touch (without opening the slider)?
No, and there would be no point because it's not touch activated and there are no buttons to use it with when the phone is closed.
7.- Can you use the activity menu to read your incoming messages without opening the slider? (same question for missed calls, could you reply a call by touch without opening the slider?)
No, you need to open the phone to read them. Not sure about missed calls cause I haven't had any missed yet.
8.- Can you snooze and deactivate alarms by touch?
Yes.
9.- Can you start the camera or the music player without unblocking the screen (for example, by pressing the camera button)
You need to unlock the screen first.
10.-To users who has or had both the W995 and the Aino: Which one performs better in low light with flash?... do the fact that the Aino does not have Scenes nor EV controls make the imaging experience worst?...
Don't have both.
Many many many thanks in advance for the answers you might provide.
You're welcome.

Muhammad Oli have answered perfectly, just last question:
10.-To users who has or had both the W995 and the Aino: Which one performs better in low light with flash?... do the fact that the Aino does not have Scenes nor EV controls make the imaging experience worst?...
Ans: W995 is better in low light with flash in my opinion... |

I would have to completely agree that my W995 produces far greater images in low light. In fact, I can see quite a difference in images (in favour of the W995) taken on my Aino and my W995 (both running latest firmware). |

@s32bauer & Mano82: Wow, thats a bit unexpected.. i've heard the Aino camera is better than the one in the W995. Could it be that the flash is brighter in the W995?... would it be possible to post a comparison between both? one picture from each handset would be enough...
And thanks again... these answers really are helping me decide which handset is better for my needs....

My opinion LightSpeed that if we take picture in low light without flash, Aino is better... Take picture in low light with flash, W995 is better... Yeah flash is stronger in W995 i think... I've just sold my W995 2 days ago  |

Yes, I think that's the problem. When I take a picture with my W995 in low light, it lights up fairly well. But with the Aino, it was light the whole picture was filled with the flash.
I will try and post some pictures later if I remember. |

I just found the answer to my own question from a couple weeks ago, and it's very strange!
I had asked if anyone knew why the alarm will only play the default ringtone even if I set it to a different one. And the answer is...
The slider has to be open when the alarm sounds in order to play your tone. If it's closed it plays the default.
This has to be an oversight by Sony! |

My alarm does exactly wat it's supposed to do. And there are scenes in the camera. hihi I downloaded a movie and it looks real smooth, I can even read the subtitles. One more thing, tried to update today but SEUS said R1BA049 is the latest fw, is it?

That's bizarre that your alarm functions normally and mine does not. You have the U10i right? And yes, the current firmware is R1BA049. |

Oh!, so it has scenes... i downloaded the manual and it says so in it... i might be confused, but i recall reading about it here at Esato... maybe its bestpic or something like that... ill check and get back here to clarify....
@s32bauer: Thanks!... a picture would be nice...
EDIT: My bad, what it does not have is EV controls nor WB controls (WhiteBalance)....
