How is the phone with regard to calls and signal etc?
I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, because I've never experience problems of that kind with any of my SE phones. Could be that I never go to areas where the connections are bad though, dunno.
But when using the bluetooth headset, there seems to be a lot of noise at the other end. I can't hear it myself, but the other part can. |

- 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.
I'm getting 24fps steady on outdoor footage I recorded according to QuickTime Player (which has a real-time fps indicator) |

Now you've had this a wee while how long does the battery last? I've looked about but no reviews have mentioned battery life - only the 15 day standby time which is pretty useless in real life. You had to charge it much?
Is it one of these charge every night phones like the iphone or have you got a few days out of it between charges?
Gonna get me one of these soon I think but as i'm a fan of battery life it'd be good to know. To be fair i'll probably do what I did with my w880 and switch off 3g most the time when i get the aino which will save loads but would be good to have a rough idea! |

I should be able to test that in a few days. I'll let you all know when I get mine.

I'm using it quite a bit, for music when going to and from work. Also running the Tracker app in the background at the same time. Playing games every now and then, and taking pictures and videos.
I'm getting at least 2 days life from the batteries. I'd say it feels like twice the lifetime my Nokia N82 and HTC Dream gives me.
The test went from one morning where it was 93% charged, till the evening before the second morning (so almost two days) where it had about 13% left. And the phone had been used quite a lot in that period. So I'm satisfied. |

the only thing that annoys me with this phone is you need to open the slider to browse the menu!

The phone works nicely, quite happy with it at the moment. Tried the remote play funcion through my home wifi and it works fine. Didn't manage to connect to my PS3 through 3G or other wireless network. Need to work on that. The media player is great and I like the touch screen on the camera as well.
Just updated the firmware to newer version an wondering what is the changelog? ? ? |

mr lou - can you text using the touchscreen instead of the buttons? how is the touchscreen itself? can you use the screen to go into menus and stuff? |

No you cannot. I wouldn't want to either. (If so, buy Satio).
I find the touchscreen to work fairly good. It has frozen on me 5 times so far, fixed with rebooting the phone. But it can be troublesome when using the camera.
No you cannot use touch to enter menus. Touch is only available in the media-menu and in Java apps that support touch, such as Opera Mini. If you want full touch, go with Satio.
Aino is for another target group, for people like me who doesn't really like touch that much. |
