Hi guys,
Yeah i know, i have already asked this question once. But later on i found out that Aino's system performance is really, really bad.
JBenchmark links:
Aino(u10i): http://jbenchmark.com/phonede[....]son%20U10i%20Aino&benchmark=v1
w995: http://jbenchmark.com/phonede[....]nyEricsson%20W995&benchmark=v1
w715: http://jbenchmark.com/phonede[....]nyEricsson%20W715&benchmark=v1
As you can see, w995 and w715's JBenchmarks are alot better than the Aino's benchmarks. 2 times better, actually!

Well, as you guys know, im the sort of person that loves gaming on handheld devices. So my question is, what phone should i choose? w995, w715 or Aino?
I need:
Good gaming performance
A good camera with good video recording
Multitasking
A good screen, preferably with a glass lens and viewable in direct sunlight
A nice design
Great sound
Good build quality
A lot of functions such as WiFi, A-GPS, 3G and so on(I know that all those 3 devices has got those functions, so just ignore this )

So what do you think?
All answers are appreciated

Go for the w995. It`s a great phone which should meet your demands. I used to own a w715 and can say that w995 is far better, musicphone of the year. Larger screen, better camera, 3.5 mm jack. The Aino is of no interest to me at least.

Good luck choosing

Well, im on the w995 side too
The only bad thing about the w995(In my opinion) is the camera, because of the (terrible) blue fringing But otherwise, it's AMAZING!

The W995. Your reason is the main reason why I have not dipped or considered dipping into the Aino. I really love gaming on the mobile and when I had my 995 is was one of the best experiences I had. Don't skip out.

Look at this website(In swedish):

Some people say it's the best phone they have ever used while some says it's the worst phone ever

What about Yari

Well, according to PhoneArena:-

The phone is equipped with 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and small LED flash. Its interface offers ample options like face and smile detection, effects, white balance and various presets. The snapshot quality is surprisingly good for a phone that is totally unpretending with this respect – they have enough details and colors appear saturated and eye-pleasing.

Btw, Yari also able to record video clip in VGA 24frames per second. But, it doesn't have a wifi

W995 hands down, specially with the substantial reduction in price with the coming of the Aino,Satio etc. The only tradeoff you have to make in the above list is the video which is just 320x200.

I've scanned the Swedish site quoted earlier using the Google translation :

http://translate.google.com/t[....]t.php%3Fo%3D402289&sl=sv&tl=en

I noticed that there are a lot more superlative feedback compared to the bad ones, you do have to conserve battery life because SE just placed their standard 1000maH batt inside. It's also true that some of the labels in the back may tend to come off after a while (the 8.1 megapix label came off on mine, others are still intact though).

My W995 has an excellent build & it's multi-tasking ability is superb. Now using it as a BT modem tethered to my netbook, and the phone itself is retrieving RSS feeds every hour & Gmail every 4 hours at the same time.

@ Akudan
Yes, i have considered a Yari myself, but when i found out it didn't have WiFi, i changed my mind But it's very good, especially when it comes to gaming.

@NoroBiik

Seriously, for gaming on a handheld/phone get an iPod Touch or iPhone 3Gs. The game apps are cheap, awesome and plentiful.

Of the 3 phones you selected clearly the Aino has the most modern and interesting UI while the others are different flavours of old. I had a G705 recently (similar to a W715) and while good it just seemed totally outclassed by my iPhone, so much so it was embarrassing after a while so I sold it.

With luck Android Marketplace might develop as a good supplier of gaming apps and then the Snapdragon processor in the X10 can start to do some real damage to the iPhone's reputation...

Your post is the most useless of all, you know that right? Gaming on the iPhone/Touch is a pitiful excuse of gaming, and out of all the games out there only some are worth. Also the lack of physical buttons is an automatic NO for the iPhone for most gaming people on the mobile side because of that, and I'm pretty sure its the case here.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Smooth. The only new thing about Aino is its media interface when it comes to the touch based side, and some fresh paint for the A200. Its the same thing as every SE out there.

Also your faith to the Jesus Phone is comendable but very......stupid.

I'd say W995, Aino has a strange screen resolution + I don't like at all the new icons...
