Sony Ericsson Aino - User Reviews

  • Smartphones nowadays are all the same... Sony and Nokia should make successors for their iconic phones and upgrade them to Andoid. Believe me you will gain a lot of revenue if you upgrade the specs of your old model phones. You dont have to fight with Samsung or iPhone... but instead create successors to your old phones and set them as you low end phones with touch screen and powered by Android.

  • The screen is painfully tall and is so much of a torture to use!

  • No.. it’s not Android os

  • does whatsapp works on this mobile if yes how to download it?

  • I have tested that the Sony Ericsson Aino (U10i) would play H.264 encoded MP4 videos as well as WMV files.

  • But that doesn't answer my question. Have you got an Aino? If so, how does it compare to the W995?

  • I am using w995 and it looks pretty nice.

  • What's better? This or Sony Ericsson W995?

  • In this phone works india ap network

  • Aino question: Can u take a picture using the keypad enter key in camera mode?

  • this is a feature phone running java, u have to download java version of whatsapp, u can try looking for it sinceppl stop using java apps for many years, & I'm not sure it can run on this phone either.

  • how do i download whatsap on my sony ericson u10i phone?

  • Nope , it's not Android based phone

  • youtube-Video und radio internet

  • whatsapp is working? if yes plz tel me how to download?

  • no, you can't use it with this mobile, Sorry.

  • Thank's

  • I have had this device for three years now, is really a superb device, value for money, good features, i like the bluetooth audio headset, excellent photo features and choice of resolution, audio is clear, all round an excellent product from Sony.

  • Whatsapp

  • Please do help me with my S/E aino. I cant turn-on..

  • I had this phone for 9 months. Got it brand new. Had nothing but problems. Touch screen junk. Camera very good. Whatsapp IS NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL NOT RUN ON THIS DEVICE!!!! Thank the developer because they can make it for the Nokia c3 but not this one. I would not buy this one again. If you like this phone and need a similar for replacement the w995 is a much better choice.

  • I wont 2 dawnload watsup

  • I want 2 download whats up on sony ericson aino

  • Sony ericsson nice mobile

  • Good day. I'm in possession of a Sony Ericson U10i. in 2012 I nearly lost my phone. Somebody grab it out of my hand.It fell out of his hand on a stone.Face ,cover is broken.phone don't want to charge and is now dead.Can you please tell where can I send my phone to be repaired and what the costs roughly will be or what the price of a 'new' phone is, please. Reply to [email protected] thanks in advanced

  • i have this mobile but present it's disply and touch is not working so plz tel me how much this item's cost to repain this mobile........

  • please tell me is whatsapp can be used on this phone

  • I downloaded the app but it isn't connecting to the internet. Help

  • Google it... Its a java app and it really works well without any issues

  • can u give youyje link pls

  • Whatsapp is available ..!

  • Whatsapp is availabe for this phon.. How cool..!!!! Love it to the core..

  • No whats app for aino.

  • my phone dont find my home's wi-fi even in hidden network. could any one help me?

  • can we get whatsapp for this phone

  • Does it take whatsapp for free?

  • when I chose setting/connectivity/synchronisation/new account without connect to my pc,all my contact is lost,what do I do?could I restore my contact?

  • The flex sucks? How sad. Darn.

  • yes, I loved this fone too. The camera and other features. And yes, java limited me in downloading apps. Repair also becomes useless because replaced flex will be good for only a couple months. But I super like the accessories that came w/ it. bluetooth headset, spare headset cover, plus the base charger...not all have these. If only the replacement (flex) lasted longer, i'd keep it forever...

  • No never u could not use whats up...

  • can we download Skype,games and whatsapp?

  • can we use whatsapps and download games?????

  • hi! i have been using this phone for about 3.5 years.. camera is really good. But it supports java apps only..when it comes to using latest apps based on android/ iOS/ symbian, this phone becomes useless..and after some period problems regarding slider and touch screen and display start appearing..

  • i laik sony ericsson aino u10i

  • Why my handpohe of this model cannot play the you tube dan cannot play a something video

  • Sony Ericsson Aino support what's app or no, Plz rply me ?

  • watsap

  • The Aino (as in Aino this is a piece of crap) is an absolute piece of Shite. The slider is weak, it locks up constantly, the touch screen ignores your existence, whatsapp not supported by whatsapp. Whatsapp does not want to comply with the rest of the world. Whatsapp wont run on my nokia c2 either (which is inexcusable) but defend the bunker runs on EVERYTHING I have tried to run it on including the AINO. I don't understand developers like this. The only good thing about the AINO is the Camera. Its a Java OS so MOST java apps run quite well just don't depend on the touchscreen for anything. I ran a processor speed check app and after about 5 min it clocked the processor at 200 MHZ. It plays movies quite well in spite of this, provided they are formatted properly. The sound quality and bluetooth stereo are a pro. It has GPS but unless you want to pay a monthly fee to use the maps from Wisepilot(and data) you cant use that. Google maps run but good luck finding your way with it. What you will spend to buy this would be better spent on a HTC.

  • aino oooo its very beautiful cell good looking smartness wow i love sonyericson :-*:-*:-*:-*

  • its really a bad cell phone

  • i want to know if Sony Ericsson Aino support what's app or no, cus i like it but i need what's app very much too

  • 3 years using this phone I just find it more as a mobile camera rather than a cellphone.

  • in my u10i the software is not working permanently...how can i solve this problem...

  • Aino is a piece of shit, 2 years using this phone, no applications, no games, bad photos in normal light (but very good fotos in light), strange screen resolution you can't find videos in this native resolution of 432x240, the youtube application works but the quality video of this application is a piece of shit cause no more updates of it, it was better my old Nokia N82 far superior of this shit with 3D games and stuff ... and the Aino charge/audio connector is THE WORST ever seen, is THE SAME connector for AUDIO and CHarge, and always faults, i was prefer some internal conector and not this piece of shit. the only good thing about this phone is his stability, never slows and never blocked, thats normal i think because his Operative System is very limited ... And think i'am gonna buy a Motorola Razr HD.

  • feedback is vare bad this phone

  • Can I use skype in my aino?skype software what I download never worked in it.so I hav a doubt if this phone supports skype or not.

  • how can i download whatsapp in my phone

  • just press "0000" for the old code...

  • Please I don't know how to go about it if I want to activate my phone lock code on sony ericsson u10i

  • can i share any game with other smart phones?

  • Thanks for the reply.

  • Yes, you can use any bluetooth headset. As matter of fact, Right now I am using philips bluetooth headset with this phone for hearing music and make calls

  • hi can i listen to the music just using any other bluetooth handset or it has to be original from Aino?

  • my aino is too good , but in this phone the problem will start from slider , i mean touch in which in build pannel is to be short , then toch is not working , and in which it have multimedia touch . not full touch . and its camera and sound quality is super . good and comfortable.

  • my aino has signal reception problem huh

  • Why does aino model didnt support WHATSAPP application?the phone has the facilities needed but whatsapp incomplete and it is uncomfortable.Try 2 do something so that people wil quickly afford nd use the phone.

  • Its over 2 year aam useing this aino phone. Now I also have a iphone 5 and sony xperia ion. Bt still there is a lot attraction to my aino. Love it!

  • can i play PS 3 on aino

  • Even today i still look on ebay for used Aino's this phones was one of the best sellers in Derby, even 3 months after it came out... People really wanted this phone when they discovered it had both a touch screen and normal buttons! The crossover design attracted many & SE did a fantastic job with the styling!

The touch screen got lots of cracks but,believe me,its touching perfect and thats what am uploading this comment with. Thank you S.E

  • i too have this type of phone can whatsaap application work in it

  • no my friend, it doesn't support chat & messaging applications like viber,skype, kik etc, because its o.s. is not compatible with such applications.

  • yeah i also got this problem last year.. this problem is common in slider phones like aino.. i got my flex cable replaced for $10 and it is back in action.

  • i have been using this phone for about 10 months. and its already giving me problems like the touchscreen gets jammed at times.. one or two keypads are not working and the phone gets jammed up most of the time.

  • YEA I'm use this phone since last one year,it's amazing ,nice and well functioned, it's camera, web-bowers apps and so on tremendous :-) :-):-)

I also want to change the phase or the body but I can't find anyone who can fix it for. I don't want to change it. Please help me with the nearest place I can go to.

  • i wish to buy one from this phone. i love it.

  • I had this phone for two years and it was absolutely brilliant! No problems except that the middle button fell off. I just wish it ran on Android, then I could have kept using it...

  • Dude, don't buy this phone. It is available that too for Rs8,000 only, but its very outdated model; no android, no apps and no great features except the music stand. That too for 3" screen, not really required except for showing off.

  • at ebay.in. 8000 only. New

  • i want to buy this phone.s it still available in the market(i live in india(chennai)) r is it safe to buy a 2nd hand aino

  • i hv tt 4n & t has battry probz but ts 9yc 4n tho & i lyk t....t hs good pic quality

  • myn z still wrkin good but hv battry prob....bt hy ts a 9yc 4n tho

  • Ru facing any kidoff prob now becoz im jst plannin to get a new mobile

  • Shall i take aino friend

  • Worst battery ever!....and does the touchscreen stuff ever work???,myn haz neva worked,

  • Its Sony/Erissons Java OS. They used to be good but not this one. I sent mine back 3 times under warranty for the touch screen and then they made a bogus liquid damage claim so they wouldn't have to fix it.I never got it wet. I will never deal with S/E again. Truth is its a complete failure out of the box. I also found that due to its form factor and weight it was always slipping out of my hand and the battery cover is not real secure so out comes the battery and all. Software wise it ran Java apps very well (unlike most java samsungs and "RIM" blackberrys) but was slow to turn on/boot. The camera worked exceptional outside of the non responsive touch screen until the last time it slipped out of my hand like a greasy bar of soap, it failed to focus properly. I would steer well clear of this model, and due to S/E's lack of support, any future models. At its very best the Aino is a good doorstop if you slide it open and wedge it under.

  • never ever buy this phone! it's too slow. my touch has stopped working nera 6 mths. it's gets hang very fast .........

  • what is the os of Sony Ericsson Aino U10

  • sony ericsson aino - my touch screen has suddenly stopped working, also, the button at the top to turn screen saver off also doesn't work. Anyone help!!!

  • sonyericsson aino is better or Sonyericsson xperia x8

  • Dafuq, this phone sucks! I have to charge it every 2 seconds, and the camera is so shitty, even the slightest movement makes the whole picture blurry. And they keep selling the bluetooth headset seperately.

  • Any know how to make the drifta work on the a Xperia? i connected via wifi then open the dstv software then wat?

  • bought it new a week ago. these are my first impressions : - very weak battery capacity - 8 mega pixel but the picture is blured when you move slightly your hand or when one of the picture elements is moving even slowly (for ex : a car, a walker by...etc) and this is very deceiving. - Since i bought it i open and closed about 3 times the back cover and i noticed that the back cover got a 2 cm crackeling wich tells a lot about the quality of manufacturing that turns to be finaly very low. the tough aspect is a catch. if you're looking for tough materiel don't get lured by the aspect

  • how do I watch my dstv drifta on my sony ericsson it conect with wi fi but i dont know how or where to go and watch tv pls help

  • Follow this step: *First submit your FIR if your mobile lost or stolen *Then submit your FIR to your service provider *Then ask your service provider to trace your number *If your mobile is switched on and it has different Simcard then it will trace easily *If your simcard is not activated then also your mobile can trace *You can ask your service provider to Block your IMEI number *Service provider use a shared hosting service for blocking IMEI numbers *Witch mean if your mobile have different sim then also Your mobile not work *your service provider get that sim number which is used for you IMEI Number point to Remember : *when ever you purchased new mobile then take your IMEI number and note it *if your mobile lost or stolen then call to your service provider and block your number then go to your nearest police station and give written complete that is FIR and take one copy for you then submit this copy to your service provider

  • which one is better Sony Ericsson Aino or Sony Ericsson vivaz???? plz suggest......

  • I lost my SonyEricksonn Aino and and the tracker was not activated.What must I do to get it back as I don't know what to do.

  • i've got a problem with my sony ericsson Aino charging battery for long time and it doesn't get full i've change a battery but it is stil doing the same

  • This phone is awesam.i luv it.

  • the screen glass for my sony ericson u10i is damaged where can i get 1 to be replaced in kenya

  • superb phone all of u buy this one

  • You can listen to music using a standard headphone with the same contact that the charger is using.

  • can't i listen to music using headphone with this phone as no headphone jack is available..

  • it iz an excelent fone ever in sony ericsson m using it 4rm 1.5 yearz but its batery stil workin excelent n no fault found stil

  • very good mobile phone i am one and half year .

  • i used my aino for 2 full years never had one problem it was a wonderfull phone

  • i never use this type of mobile ever

  • u r right, I am using aino for 1 year. From the very 1st month of purchase, I have to update software continiously. I could't use even a month properly. I lost my 18000 Realy worthless phone

  • this phone has shake control?

  • im using it from about 9 months and i must this is the best java phone ever awesome camera perfomance wifi also works great overall a perfect for java lovers go for it its worth it

  • CONS: it isnt powerfull.and is disappointing how the full touch screen can only be used on the multimedia panel and a few apps.is only a java-based phone. PROS: good camera,great build quality... for its price, maybe a bit more, you get probably a android phone wich are more capable.but as a java phone, its probably one of the best phones

  • can aino has an whatsapp??when i download the whatsapp,they said that my javascript is disable n need to enable it to download..the problem is i didn't know how to enable the javascript..can anyone help me??pleaseee...

  • Skype voice call is not working at aino....You can only chat through skype....this set is also having signal fluctuation pronlem on all networks.

  • Some Says Good Some Says Bad..Can Any One Guide Or Tell Me The Truth About This Set Because I Am Planning To Buy It..??

  • the problem isnt sony.is the software.android sony phones have whatsapp, no java phone has it.

  • I have the Aino for almost 2 years now and I wouldn't advise anyone to buy it.. First of all, the touch screen is slow and plays tricks. If you mute an incoming call once, the phone remains silent unless you restart it and sometimes even does this on its own. On more than one occasion, it blacked out with an incoming call and refused to show me who was calling me! A couple of months ago, it just died! It refused to be charged by any charger ever and, believe me,as an all time sonyericsson user, I have plenty. It miraculously came back to life two or three months later with no obvious reason. If I switch profiles, the menu button would just fail to respond! I've owned a lot of sonyericsson phone back before the merge, and this has been by far the worst that, much to my dismay, I'm thinking of another brand for my next phone!

  • why sony doesnt take whatsupp application?

  • sorry. there is no angry birds for java phones..

  • c00L mates .. its amazing.. the thing is...when your messages is more than 1000 ...it kinda loads slowly ..thats the problem but its cool :D

  • i have had my aino a while but now its stopped working screen flashes grey and wont switch on

  • Hi i want angry bird game for my aino

  • This phone is the best that i've ever had. I dropped like so many times and it stills work until now. Been using it for like 4 years already, this is my phone savior. The camera is great, everything is great also, i save this as a spare one, i have used other phone like samsung, nokia before and it doesn't last like sony ericsson, i stick to sony ericsson since 2004. Love all the phone from sony! Worth to buy this phone, just bought sony Xperia X10 and it looks so nice using it for few months already, now, on my way to buying another sony model.

  • i love Aino, i do knot know wher to get the PC suit for this , i searched the web but not able to find, i want this phone to use as modem for my working, can anybody help me please

  • I recently got the Aino after having the C905 for almost 3years after the screen died. I must say the battery life is incredibly short after I charged it to 100% it went down to 95% in a couple minutes without using it at all (bluetooth and wifi turned off and even the firmware being up to date) The camera settings are very limited, I can't turn off the shutter noise for the camera/video even in silent mode, can't adjust the gamma(brightness) like I could in C905. The only improvements I see so far on this phone is the screen being larger and brighter, and the wifi I am able to use the apps. When I zoom while recording video on the C905 it makes a tapping noise but with the Aino it eliminates that. The charging stand and wireless bluetooth headset is great! Since I don't have a data plan the C905 wouldn't let me use apps even with wifi turned on. I will try to enjoy this phone but would not recommend getting it as an upgrade from the C905.

  • when the bluetooth headset is off you press and hold the power key on the headset till blue lights flash and then search for the device on your phone. Then pair as normal

  • guyz please tell me all the sites from where i can download apps , games including skype..coz i want skype and other apps in my phone soon...and 1 more thing does WhatsApp support aino?

  • Guyz please tell me a proper site from where i can download all apps, games and everything including skype free coz i want skype and other interesting apps in my phone soon. and one more thing does whatsApp supports this phone.. plz reply me soon!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can i use that bluetooth headset pair with other phone eg. galaxy S or N8 or someting? if yes, how? thanks

  • do onething if u want to make a video call with skype okay so buy the handsed which is compatable with frient camera... then u can make video call right.. Aino is compatable for video call but there is no frient camera right..

Some times it get's stuck while listening music. Besides all this it is quite good phone for casual user who use phone only for calling. My next phone will be Sony Ericsson but with Android OS, because this Aino don't support much programs. GPS works fine!! (for 50 minutes and then the battery will be empty.)

  • soo it's great phone. what about music player and sound quality to phone speaker is it loud enough?

  • Hi everyone, the Aino camera is not good at all, there is no option where i can resize the size of a picture and it result a very large format of an image, when you gonna take a picture using it, it's not that good, you need to resize it first in your desktop to have a great pixel of image, there is lack of option in camera, the settings of the camera is poor. there is a fix size of an image, when you gonna take a photo at night using flash and when you take a close up picture, it's not good. the video is really great at daylight, it's very clear and no need to convert it if you have already quick time player to play the video in your desktop.

  • Don't go 4 c6 as it has hanging probs...

  • I've had this phone for about 7 months now and there are a couple bad things about it. 1) When I put a new memory card in (16GB) it would fail to recognize it sometimes, i've formated it as suggested on the web and am looking to see how long this fixes the problem 2) The OS sucks, it's hard to get neat applications and theses days applications are everywhere. 3) for the price ~150 - 200 CDN dollars I'm not sure if it's worth it. Specially with the new SE phone which is actually a gaming console this doesn't make sense anymore.

  • i want to ask about keypad, is touch screen typing in text messages like black berry keypad ? or is it same like normal phone keypad ?

  • may i knw how sony Aino nw??

  • Today is the day...hehehe..finally...

Then i got Aino.. guys i found it swimming [aino] in the pool like a year ago and yet its great, it still can fuction better than many phones, even if its symbian =d Cam is far superior than XperiaX10 here: - a picture of a flower i have in facebook, taken with aino] Bluetooth headphones work great too, damn great actually, i love it =D PS. delete your msgs so it wont lag cz of full phone memory ;)

  • hi friends, When I open the internet through the default apps or Opera, the lights goes off within 8 seconds if there is no any movement. Its not a bug, its power saving kinda thing. but how can I increase the number seconds that the web part shows. Or is there an option that make it stay longer?

  • Hi I have this phone but but it fell in water and when I wanted to have it repaired one of the screws failed to get unscrewed so I was advised that in order to have the technician get inside it, he has to break the housing, so I have to but another housing. How can I get it?

  • a good phone :) the touch screen has only limited fuctions you can't use it for menu just for browsing photos, making photos and listening to music/radio; some aplication/games may use it, but for all the main fuctions (texting, browsing...)the keyboard is used

  • does anyone know how to get the android os on aino

  • hello.. i heard that the company is facing out this phone..am not sure. but here in my country, it's rare to get this phone already. especially the accessories. im lucky enough to get the obsidian black aino.. im really happy with it..

  • Nice mobile except for photos,you cant edit or you cant add some stuff on your photos unlike with other mobiles, you can.

  • no.its not fulltouch.but its an awesome phone.

  • Hey! basically the phone is like an ordinary phone with buttons for everything, messaging, calling etc. the touchscreen part of the phone is only when you slide the phone down and you only see the screen. the touchscreen function only enables you to go to your camera, photo gallery, music, videos and radio. all other things have to be done with the phone buttons :)) hope this helps a little :)

  • is this phone full touch i want to know or do u use the buttens for everything

  • dont think twice to buy this aino..once u think of it..just buy it..bcoz..this thing is worth of buying it..u will never regret it..im using it about 1 n half yrs..but still alwys give the best peak off performance..tq

  • To whom it may concern Please pass this on to Sony. I am a huge fan of Sony Ericsson phones, it makes the most amazing phones when it comes to entertainment (Radio, mp3, etc) and camera capability. But they are found wanting when it comes the most basic phone applications. 1. Predictive text on these phones needs to be given a second look, yes its Japanese & Swedish manuctures but when catering for eglish markets ensure that the phone can recognise most english words. 2.Privacy, the advantage Samsung has over SE is that with Samsung one can set up security over any directory (phonebook, music,videos,pics, you name it) on the phone, SE lacks this functionality. 3. SE has limited call settings. It allows you to set up an incoming call list , but does not allow you to set up a reject list. These are very basic phone features that manufacturers like Nokia & Motorola have perfect waaay before the dawn of camera/smart phones. it would help if SE could get these right. It appears the more their phones advance the more they lose the basics.

  • Phone is fantastic for old school user who hate the incompatibilities of switching phones (i.e. moving contact lists, getting used to new interfaces, learning touchscreen). However, the phone needs a better processor. Lags like crazy. If this phone had a better processor, 3.5mm audio output, and possibly a bigger screen, it would be the best phone!

  • How to manage its album????coz when i open music from file manager it shows all the folders n songs properly placed in that album but as i open album using touch screen all songs get scattered in all folders. just want them to be placed properly..plz help

  • I wont just the data

  • Aino or w995 wich 1 is beta?plz i nid ur help,i love da two bt in ma case i can only afford one,nd i dnt want 2 regret.tnkz alot

  • Yes! you are right! Aino is an awesome phone.. :D

  • hello.. maybe it wasnt converted properly.. for me, i watch movies either it's slide up or down.. you need a nice converter but i cant really recommend one because mine isnt that good either.

  • Hi, do u guys know any software for the dictionary english to chinese suitable for aino? Thx!

  • I wanna ask something about Aino , when i slide down to watch movie , why i can't watch those movie that i convert ? Then i slide up the screen , i can watch it again. (P.S. sorry for my broken english , hope you know what i mean. Thx)

  • its an awesome phone

  • i saw many people disliking this phone os ot relly aino users? shall i go for Yari or Aino..........? and ya i dont handle mobiles carefully...... so is aino ok for that?

  • Overall i think of the spec were the best...i think SE need to make the 2nd Gen of the Aino that is make it to 100% touchscreen..can play psp game in the phone..improve the speaker..sure im the 1st human being to buy it..lol..furthermore this phone is worth of buying it..each penny is worthless..

  • i bought this phone for about 200 euro.. and yes it is worth it.. i am enjoying it. :)

  • This is currently in my wishlist. I like the Aino's overall specifications, BUT there is one thing that disappoints me, and that is the default menu interface. Why? because I find the default menu interface of my old k610 better.. They should've improved the menu's appearance, not downgrade it.. I Hope there's a better theme available though..

  • i think this phone is really splendid..eventhough i'm on my way to buy it..i got the feeling it will be a good device..to be honest it doesnt care whether it is a good gadget or not..it depends the way u use it..if u now how to handle it..it means u now how to use it wisely..if u wanna buy something..follow ur heart n soul..just ignore what other ppl said..bcoz stronger will is stronger than steel..peace to the world (^-^) One Piece........

  • it is very sexy device.

  • i hope i will buy aino in this month.pls pray that i will take the good and fresh new aino.

  • its really a great phone... its looks very nice... actually its depends on how the user using the phone...

  • How much it costs You my dear friend?? IS it worth to buy this phone. Thanks in advance :)

  • its my pleasure.im glad i could help

  • Maybe it's your ACTIVE lifestyle that does the damage to your phone. My Aino (my 7th SE) is a year old and still works without any problems. Treat your phone like an electronic equipment and not a like a brick.

  • Hi Guys, one question. When I take a photo or a video, the next day my battery is dead.. Any idea why? I have to turn off something? Thank you

  • my Aino is a week old now.. it's pretty cool. thanks!!! i know people make bad comments on phones.. it really depends on how they handle their phones and such. :))

  • unfortunately, you cant use the touchscreen for messaging. but the phone is really nice.

  • Can I a create a message using the touchscreen?

  • im using these phone for a year now and it is still ok.. i put 16GB memory card it is almost full with music movies.. the camera, music,and even movie playing are all ok.. only once it hangs all i do is i closed it for 10seconds and i open it again and its ready to use again.. i love this phone.. if you are buying these phone make sure to buy it inside malls or in big cellphone shops.. and make sure the box is not open..

  • its not a smartphone.its based on sonyericsson flash based UI

  • ERM...so far was using the aino model.. its realy a good phone.. its all depends on how the user using the phone.. otherwise all phone is still good to use.. 10q.. :-))

  • What is the OS of Sony Ericsson Aino?

  • no it cant.aino is not a smartphone

  • dont worry .its the best java phone you can get.dont listen to some stupid people who dont know how to use a phone

  • I've had my Aino phone for a little over a year and I can truly say it's such a WASTE of your precious money. After less than 1 week I noticed that it would just hang and the keyboard was not working properly. I brought it back to the service station and opted for a replacement. After about 3 months problems started cropping up. Contacts that had already been saved to the phone's memory would just appear as numbers no matter how many times I try to save the entry. I noticed that it is also quite slow as whenever I'm texting and I receive a phone call i wouldn't be able to see who's calling and won't even be able to answer the call because the phone is still in the "texting mode". Major bummer! Basically, the phone will slow you down if you have an active lifestyle. I'm planning to buy a new phone and I'm getting wary of Sony Ericsson.

  • can this phone upgraded 2 be android???how??...the speaker is very clear but why only 1 speaker??i heard aino hav stereo speaker???????

  • going 2 get my aino 23,3,11, i'm exited but i don't know what to ecxt.

  • hi. i'm having a problem with my aino, it's always hanging, can't use it for 2 days now.. it's always restarting i dont know why?

  • ok bros .. thanks 4r advice

  • @ Sam Hey buddy I'm not confusing anyone but try clear some of their doubts about AINO. Hope you have seen my previous comments too...........No phone can beat AINO's walkman experience, the problem is with the handsfree not AINO. So to feel the magic of AINO's sound system better go for MW600 Bt headsets. or HPM 82 handsfrees. As I said before A - Awesome Display I - Incredible Sound N - Nice Design O - Overall a great phone!

  • of course dude, go and get it now

  • dude plz dont say any thing about my aino ,,,,,, iam requesting u plz ............its such a nice piece when compare 2 nokia and others

  • every thing is ok dude in aino,dont make confused 2 others plzzzzzzzzzzz ...... its my favvvvvvvvv....

  • aino is better than satio

  • Hi Guys, As you all know AINO used to be shipped out with MH 100 Bluetooth headset. Now you cannot get AINO but AINO classic. Since they cut down the price, they removed that dock, and the BT headset too. What we all get with our AINO Classic now is a low range yet low quality handsfree(Sony HPM 60). Thats the major let down really. I donno why SE should put this kinda Handfrees with AINO in the name of price cut down. Even a HPM62 would be better for the price!!! If you really want to feel the music quality in AINO go for the following Handsfrees. I put them in descending order.... # HPM 62 (Nice bass effects) # HPM 70 (Of course all time fav) # HPM 77 ( Not tried but heard the bass really good) # HPM 82 (Heard its doing great) # SE MW600 (BT headset..replacement for that MH100)

  • Im having the same problem let me know if u solved it yet

  • If its possible to make a video call on Sony ericsson Aino handset without secondary camera, does it mean the person I am calling can not see me?

  • Hi, I also bought an aino last month. Apparently it comes with very low quality headsets. Try HPM-82, this will really bring out the true aino potential

  • Good one.

  • what is price of aino nowadays....its really awesome phn i have ever seen recently i have nokia 5800 but aino attracts me to it...its feature and specifications stunned me...plz give a rply

  • best phone i can say made by sony ericsson

  • Eish this bluetooth & touch screen thing is really pazzling on this aino! but the phonez gud i mus say!! :)

  • im planning to upgrade to aino so i just to know how good is it?

  • Hi all What's the thing with the camera comparing to SE C905, and the battery life in real not on paper? I don't know which one to buy. I like good good photos (not blur or shaken) and a good sound (loudnes in speaker mode) so when i listen to radio i don't need to focus to here every word. Hope to hear from you, the users.

  • why can't i use WiFi?

  • I work for a mobile networked and as such have had many different phones but the U10i is by far best I have ever used, I have changed phones about 5 times since I�ve had it but I keep using it and giving my upgrades away. Truly the best phone ever for in my opinion

  • Aino is really an AWESOME cell.Hav been using it since 6 months.Battery lasts 3 days on average and once even lasted for 5 days with low use.The camera is also really gud.Better than satio or vivaz.really gud cell phone to buy....

  • hello iam using Aino black model how much time its battery take to be completely charged?

  • hello iam using Aino about short time .how much time of the battery charging?

  • sony ericsson is made in which country?

  • Why Aino doesn't read Arabic E-mails?

  • i wanna buy aino. wat is the current price of aino after budget.

  • it is because of the motion sensor.try not to take picture upside down.

  • yes you cannot to make msg using the touch scr and this mobile very good but only one thing the battery just be with you 2 days only 2G

  • Go Settings-Connectivity-Mobile Networks-GSM/3G Networks where you will be having two options 1. GSM and 3G 2. GSM Only....select GSM only to deactivate 3G You cannot use the touch screen for messaging. Through the touch you can access all your media files, attend a call, cut off a call, put in silent while ringing, turn off your alarm or snooze it, browse the web with the use of Opera 5.1 browser....thats it

  • It just hav, 8MP camera, memory slot however, its still no where in comparison with Nokia X-6

  • why after i took a photo using aino the result photo go into opposite direction?

  • in setting go to connectivity then mobile networks and thengsm/3g networks.yes but you can using a java sms program like iphone sms

  • how to off the 3g? Is that true you cannot text using touch screen?

  • it doesnt have secondary camera but you can videocall using main camera

  • I have updated the Fota softwere,after updating it,my display screen is dead,only blinking,why

  • i am using Aino, it is v good phone,very good camera clarity compairing to other mobiles in some case it gives more than digital camera.

  • does it support symbian?

  • turn off the 3g if you dont use it and select gsm only network.will last 5 dayz

  • how to update this phone?

  • the camera is just great 0 eve nthe videos are marvellous. but the battery life is really bad. mine only last 4-6 hours. anyone got ideas on how to make it last longer? I really love the phone but you only get the classic these days and i wouldn't take it again just because of the really bad battery life. go for somthing else. and...every phone i've ever had was a sony ericsson (about 4) so i really luv these phones. but aino is a bad deal. i end up missing a lot of work calls cos of the battery.

  • hey go 4 aino its stylish n much beter den satio ive seen satio h0nestly itx a weird fat cel lol even da sound quality is 2 gud so dun waste ur tym n go 4 aino u w0nt regret

  • I just updated my Aino & it's much faster, all touchscreen problems are gone, new games & themes, and with Opera mini 5.1 surfing is just great!

  • Hello every1:)) I just wana know which is better....SE Aino or SE satio? I'm dazzled with both...but I'm just having troubles in choosing one of them:S:S Please help me ASAP Thanx

  • Its kinda difficult to choose between these two really! As a fan of camera, I prefer AINO over VIVAZ at anytime...Even my friend who is using VIVAZ gets my AINO to take some photos. The music clarity in AINO definitely over VIVAZ. One more important things, AINO's vivid brilliant screen beat VIVAZ to the core! AINO is SE's own Java phone whereas VIVAZ is running on Symbian.....And VIVAZ is a fully touch phone whereas AINO is a partly touch phone....And AINO has SE's usual(torturing) charging port whereas VIVAZ has USB port(3.5mm audo jack)....Both AINO & VIVAZ looks great on your hands! But VIVAZ somehow override AINO in looking...VIVAZ has a dashing look....)

  • Which one is better, SE aino or SE Vivaz? please reply asap thanks

  • No it is not, But AINO is a combination of SE's K Series & Walkman Series. I'm so much satisfied with the camera performance, it takes brilliant pictures. And records in HD that outcast any other mobile for sure! If you love MUSIC and CAMERA then go for AINO, it beats SE Vivaz, Xperia X10, Satio, also Samsung's wave, galaxy s, and Nokia's n8!!!!

  • mine lasts for 3days.if you dont use 3g turn it of and then it last for 5 dayz

  • Guys I wanted to know which one is the best AINO or VIVAZ??? Cause I wanted to buy one & wanted to know which one is the best!!!

  • Which one is the best VIVAZ or AINO?????????? Cause i need to but one soon and wanted to know which one is the best!!!!!!!!!!!! Help me out please!!!!

  • the camera is it CyperShot?

  • The battery is not that good, I should tell you...It last no more than 1.5 days....and if you use camera often and listening to your music frequently it lasts only up to 15 to 20 hours....Apart from the battery backup, everything is just great with AINO. You cannot type messages using the touch screen. Through touch you can access your media files thats it!

  • Yes its good. If you download snaptu, you can access your FB in touch mode.

  • Buddy, In order to play Youtube videos you must have a high speed internet connection. Blame on your service provide not on the phone. I'm having high speed connection and watching youtube videos without any interruption. Second thing, what you said, wobbly slide? LOL...I cannot control laughing..can you name any of the slider phones out there that is as solid as AINO? Don't confuse people with false statements.

  • I have had this phone since May... I can say i am very satisfied with mine.. I don't use Facebook and the apps on the phone so it doesn't bother me, and the battery life with my phone lasts for a long long time.. one week on one charge before completely outa juice. My only concern was that I had a situation where the phone auto muted the ringtone.. but it might be the Sony Ericsson's ringtone being corrupted.

  • phones awesome in features but my aino has shown touchscreen problems.i've given it for servicing but it has been 1 mnth and i haven't got it back....htye say that the parts are no longer available.

  • this is a good tricks for aino user-go to 4shared.com and search 'aino' or 'se aino' and then click anything you wnt exmple(55 themes fr se aino) and wait until the links appear then download it. P.s-the files is in .rar format and you can use this trick on your phone and the mobile rar can be downloaded in 240x320 to your aino using either google search or wapday.com,just search in google 'free mobile rar application download',cmpress the .rar into files and then the installer should be in the files..this trick can be used to download games at 4shared.com too

There are many applications and games that use the touchscreen while the phone is both open and closed...this phone rocks! Go get yourself one!

  • Please inform to this product and purchase procedure for EMI scheme and contact to mobile no. 9460749227

  • I like dis hp!! I juz bought it 2day!!!

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR I wish all of you health and happyn es

  • come on guys this phones in a leagua of its on you just got to love it

  • sadly that option is not available with contacts savings

  • I haven't tried, but AFAIK it isn't possible. Instead of using Skype consider downloading Nimbuzz. It works just like Skype - is free to use. It combines all your buddies from Skype, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk and more.

  • Hi, I'm using the following full touch screen applications on my AINO n I love em' # Snaptu # Nimbuzz # Ebuddy (Though having some prob with it) Games # Galaxy on fire II # Toy Story III # Woody # Ridge Racer Drift # Silent Hill

  • can i get skype on my aino?

  • Hi and good day to you all beside opera mini is there any more full touch screen app for this phone thanks in advance for any reply given

  • hello every body,ihave small prob. with my aino when i save contact i save his birthday date to reminder me,this option not happen whith me,what can i do???

  • Hi all, is tat really aino have 2 speakers??? the review claim tat ter is juz 1 speaker....??? confusing ler...

  • Hi all, I have recently come across an application called snaptu. Its really amazing. I liked the touch experience it gave while going thru FB n Twitter etc. If you want to see what it is actually then from your mobile web go to m.snaptu.com then install the app. Now open it and see the amazing... Note: you need internet connection to use this app.

  • Hi Suzan, At first, You need to connect your device to a wi-fi network so that you can use the opera mini web browser to browse the web. From your AINO go to settings -> connectivity -> wi-fi Now turn on wi-fi and search if any wi-fi network available in your place. If you can find a network then connect to it and browse the web on your opera mini web browser

  • Hi, AINO classic comes with SE HPM60 hands-free, which is a low quality earphone that comes with all the SE low range phones (Why should they put a low quality handsfree with a high end music phone? A big disappointment really) If you want better output go for better choices. Check with the followings handsfrees/earphones ( I put them price and performance wise) # SE HPM 64 # SE HPM 70 # SE HPM 77 # SE HPM 82 # SE MW600 (Blutooth Headset) Note: AINO classic doesn't include a BT headset

  • Hi, In terms of features, I don't see that much difference between W995 and AINO. Except for the 3.5mm audio jack, secondary camera and internal memory, the remains are same for both. I love AINO because of its elegant design, vivid 16m color display and of course it produces better pictures and videos than w995. And what I personally felt was, AINO's music experience is somewhat better than that of w995. Above all, AINO is partially touch phone Choice is yours..Think about switching between w995 n AINO...:)

  • Does this Instant messaging Supports Skype and Yahoo messenger? thanks in advice!

  • is this hp still worth buying today or in 2011 as there are already so many-many new hp models released after Aino with more advance engine & features?

  • I think he talked about Photo Compare Tool

  • What new feature are u talking about aaron?

  • Hello.... i am not able to here the good output from my aino headphones is that problem with headphones or cell...I bought my AINO 1 month ago.... And even i dint find bluetooth in my AINO pouch... PLz frnds help me pout...

  • hi friends just a mystery want to be solved about my aino.. when I use operamini I dont see any option to connect to wifi, please tell me how can I use wifi with opera? I really confused

  • Is tat worth to switch my W995 to aino????i like the w995's 2nd camera ,3.5mm audio port,kick stand n also very clear screen....but i like aino's larger screen,touch function,video record n perhaps better battery life time.(W995 with normal use can last 4.5 days per charge) how bout aino battery performance???? thx in advance...

  • Hi guys, Did you notice a new feature added by Gsmarena? BTW, you can check and compare camera picture n video quality of any phones with other phones. What I personally felt was, AINO even beats SE vivaz, Xperia x10 and Samsung wave, galaxy s, pixon and of course nokia n8.......

  • Hi. I used to be a big big fan of Sony Ericsson (as opposed to Nokia, Motorola and other major brands of the past) And I bought this mobile about less than a year ago, and I regretted that. Aino is suck. I really don't recommend it to anyone out there as it's just a waste of money. It's way too slow and it hangs all the time. The only good thing about it is its 8.1 MP camera, headphones sound is also good (well I guess it's ought to be cause it's Sony). You either should go for full touchscreen smartphone or resort to older generation mobiles. SE K800 is a great phone by the way. Had it for almost seven years and it's still working fine. so please think twice before you buy an aino

  • Totally awesome,i got it finally,but the black one,i rely want the white colour,but actualy never mind,im already in love wid dis phone :)

  • Hello everybody, I want ask you about sony hazel and aino, like :a. which image quality and lowlight shoot is the best?b. About sound quality and loudspeaker, which is the best?c. according to your experience or opinion, which should i buy, everybody?I really thank you, if anybody could answer my questions above

  • Hi Michael, Hope you doing good., Actually, I'm having a prob for the last couple of days that my battery lasts hardly 10 to 12 hours without any use of camera and music. But it used to last 1.5days with heavy usage of camera and continuous listening to music??? I hope you could help me sort it out. Ty.,

  • hi all could you please help me over this issue , I want to protect my cell phone sony ericsoon U10 by setting a password on the screen, i tried a lot but faild. thanks in advanced

  • The battery Life improved a lot After the latest update which is R7BA084

  • Hey Andrea, U organize ur photos through its file organizer & the Media Library organizes ur photos by date automatically. yes u can easily access internet through 3G connection & it's really fast(if full 3G signal)

  • Battery stats in site is before update firmware or after?

  • hi all! i just want to make sure can we make a normal photo album in it's media library or can we organize pictures through it's file manager? and can we easily use it's 3g to connect to the internet. thank you!

  • hey Aino lovers, i just want 2 make u all notice an awesome specification (if u didn't notice it or don't know wut ist for or how to use it. It's the Web Albums...u have the access to Flicker, Blogger & Picasa web albums...i am using the Picasa & it's so cool... u just need picasa software on ur pc & a google account. Simply after u upload ur albums to the picasa web albums (adding captions, comments & private or public sharing or w/specific friends)...u can view, edit, comment on these albums from ur phone anywhere anytime..& without saving them on ur Memory card & it's fast & easy to set it up on ur phone...that's all about one of the great Specs of the Ultimate Aino.

  • I have used it...but its not that great due to its limited touch function. It would be convenient if it had text via touch.

  • Thanks for the help Micheal,my phone battery reach 100% capacity again.:-)

  • Maybe I got a dud BT headset, or I need to read instructions and fiddle with it more, cuz there was a serious lack of bass when I used it Thanks for reassuring me :)

  • hello there.. i buy this phone already and it is great!!!

  • Hey David, it's not a big deal...but let me ask u about a couple of things u should have done with the battery.. did u recharge it 6-8 hrs the first time u bought the phone ?...do u usually recharge the battery when it becomes low?...if u did/do these steps so u r doing the right steps 2 keep ur battery healthy. BUT if U DO THE OPPOSITE plus if u recharge the phone many times using car recharger..so u r ruining ur battery, try to do the opposite of wut u do...i.e don't switch off the phone before recharging it...restart the phone AFTER IT'S FULLY RECHARGED..& keep the plug don't remove it...just try this... about the gps app...i'm still searching for one for free or a crack for wisepilot...if u found one..plz let me know

  • the bt headset is the best audio device i saw in2010....its sound quality is awesome...clear stereo &clear strong bass..3.5mm jack...its battery stays for dayz.....its amazing

  • Hello every body i have aino about two days and i just steal learn it and i have some questions do i need antivirus or the phone allready have it?And the gps is free or no?thank you in advance.

  • hi Michael, Thanks for every information in this site about aino,it help me alot,the Aino is good phone that have everything i need for media entertainment cause i love music but i have few questions.i turn off my aino power and recharge until it fully recharge that appear on the screen.when i turn on the h.p & check phone status the battery is 97% capacity,it the same when not turn off the h.p and when i charge it while turn on it still show 97% only.it happen everytime i fully charge it.my h.p already have the latest software version R7BA084 when the 1st day i buy it.last time it can reach 100% once or twice.what is the problem of my Phone? and where can i found free gps software 3d navigation like wisepilot,coz my wisepilot map is outdated unlike google map show the present map and it cost a lot to resubcribe or maybe like garmin nav gps?

  • Yes you can use normal SE earphones as it has the SE proprietary connection.

  • @Homer Simpson I bought the Aino 2 days ago. The aino now comes in a vastly reduced package. You get the aino phone and battery, normal low quality wired earphones, usb cable and wall charger. No manual. I have the dock and bluetooth earphones from my brother, so I'm lucky I have the "full kit". But the bluetooth earphones aren't very good quality- no bass at all! Does anyone else find the bluetooth earphones not good, or am I using them wrongly?

  • Can I plug my old Sony Ericsson headphones into it, or does it have to rely on the bluetooth?

  • Hi all just a concern question will aino get another update from sony i am really concern as they have bailed out on the satio and never gave it that update to really get certain things ironed out .. so once again will aino have a chance of getting another update

  • se release the aino classic with wired earphones and usb cable plus 2gb sd mc and of course a charger.

  • If the classic didnt come with blutooth headset what is the replacement? Did they leave it without wired headset if present what is the model nu of the headset By the way no connecting cable with computer included in the package is it? Need urgent answer.. Thanks from uncle homer

  • hi all on sonyericsson website there a Discussions about aino it's called Suggestions For Next Update for aino this is the link ­ i put some like 1.access icon to go 2 fully touch phone on the external software (if the user can't access to icon he can open slider) like the pictures below 2. if fully touch phone access not available make it at least call contacts and read messeges and GPS and voice recording while slider is close 3. continus shoots on camera using time interval (photo every 30,10, 5,1 minutes) depends on the memory 4. key lock with password 5. stop hanging on start up for loading media (it freeze for 2 hours every time when it is start up) 6. virtual QWERTY keyboard 7. camera work while slider is open or not 8. Battery performance + system speed 9. Handwriting recognition 10. an option to choose handsfree + phone to use for voice during call 11. make it unlimited alarm like vivaz 12. Turn-to-mute and snoozing alarms what is ur opinion

  • hey Aaron..i couldn't find a file locker

  • Both are the same in everything except the ONLY difference between them is that the "U10 A" is compatible with the "NextG" which is a turbo-charged version of current 3G networks..i.e anywhere you can make a voice call plus higher data speeds.. N.B: ONLY ppl live in US & Australia should care about this difference cuz the "NextG" is now only provided by 2 companies in the world Telstra(Australia) and "Cingular"(US)..hope i could help

  • Good day to you michael thanks for a great job i will like to know whats is the difference between the AINO U10 and the U10A

  • Hi Michael, Is there any file locker available for AINO? Can you suggest one? Thanks

  • unfortunately it doesn't support documents like office or PDF

  • Either this phone can support documentation file or not?? Like microsoft office (excel, words, power point, pdf).

  • hey everyone, many of u asked me about gaming & from where u can download games for the Aino esp touch games...finally I've found a site which provide full touchscreen games which almost fit for the Aino screen...it's umnet.com...register for free & adjust the phone brand into SE Aino & choose to view 400x240 games which is almost fit the screen as the Aino's screen is 432x240..so u may see a small piece of the screen is blank but it's ok. u also can choose from 320x240 games which aren't touch screen games. i;ve just tried it & it works fine 4 me & cool

  • Many many thanks for the reply Michael.

  • hi micheal! i've been usind the xperia x10 mini pro.and it sucks. dont ever buy ds phone. big mistake ever! so shud i change it to aino or other phones? what phone you recommand?

  • Hey Lim, i've put ma hands on these 2 phones..i already got the AMAZING Aino & go through the vivaz of one of my friends...it depends on these main points which u have to make a decision about them cuz these r the main differences between the Aino & Vivaz - u want Full touch screen Vivaz or u prefer the mix between keypad & Touch screen (limited to browsing , go through all ur media, answer..close..open loudspeaker..mute end ur calls plus all compatible apps work by touch) - R u more familiar with Symbian OS Vivaz (which i don't prefer nor recommend) or with Java OS Aino. -There isn't a big difference between each cam Resolution or qaulity both r almost the same but maybe video recording is better with Vivaz. comparing through the other specs won't confuse u as u must make ur decision first about these points.

  • hey Leeroy, u r welcome...if u wanna buy a BT headset with amazing sound quality & excellent battery lifeu should go for the MW 600(with 3.5mm jack of course) & don't worry at all about its battery life or ur phone battery cuz it's the least thing can consume charges from ur phone battery..trust me... u only have to use it wise i.e when u first buy if u found it recharged a little...use it until it's empty then do the long first recharge for 4 hours & always recharge when the battery is low..(same for the phone battery but the phone's battery needs 6 hours for first charge) MW600 is the best go for it & enjoy ur music & videos

  • thanks for help Michael. and btw which BT Headset shld i buy for Aino???? cuz i listen music all the time and i want 3.5mm jack, so will i fave battery low problem with the continuously connection of BT HD????

  • hey Opa, about the SnapFish prints...i think it's related to SnapFish photo sharing site which powered by HP & don't understand how it's related...i keep it as it doesn't affect any thing& not taking space..so keep maybe it's imp about the antivirus...the java can catch a virus but the antivirus on the Aino will continue working even after exceeding expiry date (my Aino discovered a virus after a Bluetooth file transfer even after expiry date) but u only need to buy a product key 2 continue update the virus definitions...if u r so worried about it just double check any file on ur pc before transferring it 2 ur Aino OR buy one for 20$ i think...hope i could help

  • hi michael! i have 2 questions. 1st - what is SNAPFISH PRINTS? i have this TEXT FILE on OTHERS FOLDER. it looks like a LOG of what transpired the other day on your phone. i've been using SE phones for decades and this is the only time i've encountered this file (i'm using AINO now). how important is this file? should i just leave it or can i delete it? its on the phone's memory 2nd - isn't it that AINO runs on JAVA? which is supposedly not affected by viruses? if so, is it safe not to update my anti virus? (i have one on my phone). because it asks for a fee and not just internet fee. thanks a lot again michael

  • this phone is water resistant. it fell into mud and i had no choice but to rinse it, i did it and guess what, it still works as normal. this phone is water resistant.

  • update its software to the latest update R7BA084.. go 2 settings--->general--->update software

  • hey Leeeroy, playing videos on youtube many had complained about...i don't know wuts wrong wid it...but 4 me i tried it many times before & sometimes it worked & sometimes it gave me the same message...but it worked wid me esp when i got a high speed connection...i think it's related some how to ur connection speed but it worked wid me many times before.

  • Hi Raj, Yes its available. Have you checked any seller?!? It costs around 16K in India

  • wOw..Thanks Michael...Thats what every AINO user want to say. Hope it clarifies everyone's doubt on this board.

  • thnanks a bunch! going for black! :)

  • Hello Michael, i want to ask you that how can i play videos on SE aino U10???? i can't play the videos on it....tried with pre-installed youtube apps..comes with aino.....it says " Video was interupted, please restart the videos".

  • I've been using the Aino for almost a year & here a full review based on my experience using the phone for those who are thinking about buying the Aino.. i bought the full gadget Aino...the one with the BT headset & stand charger plus 8GB micro SD MC.(now there's been an Aino classic with 2 GB MC & without the headset & the stand charger but the same phone) i'll start with the software...it runs on Java..the well known SE smart OS...that's a huge benefit cuz it's very very smart among the handling ur contacts, ur messages, the file manager, the BT connection,music arrangement with the album arts ,the 3G internet connection even the USB connection etc...all of this has been upgraded in this phone rather than the other older SE phones with more options to facilitate many many things for u as SE has merged the smart options of the K-series with the specs of the W-series which make it a unique SE phone...that beside it's fast, & esp. in the Aino the touch screen is very responsive & smooth & in the past months i remember it hangs only twice at first yes only twice... on the other hand when u put ur hands on a Symbian(i put ma hands on many different phones) phone like for example the the nokia, some samsung phones & the satio & the vivaz...u'll know the difference..it hangs really a lot...very slow...the screen isn't smooth at all..plus it's not smart at all. the Aino's shape: the phone is really slim with a smart art to make it with this size & with these specifications...when u compare it wid other phones with the same specifications...u'll know wut i'm talkin about...the white color of it is very stylish...the black is very elegant..a piece of art the touch screen: some say it's limited...i say it's not...may be u can't dial or send a sms with it but when u can take photos, go through all ur media, answer-mute-open loud speaker-cancel the calls, with the opera mini 5 surf the net with only the touch-screen & a QWERTY keys on the screen & that all plus the applications which is compatible with the Aino..most of them work by touch...like nimbuzz, ebuddy, UEFA app 2 follow the championship matches & many other..4 me that's more than enough. E-mailing: u can esily set up ur e-mail account on the Aino unlike before & start send/receive ur e-mails on refresh rate of ur choice plus the Push E-mail service is working but only with the my gmail (not wid hotmail)...plus multiple sharing options using SyncML & Exchange ActiveSync using these 2 share & sync ur info with ur pc & other devices. the battery life: many ppl talk about it...i'll tell u my experience with it....one day there's only in the battery 20% & i had a travel for 150KM that is one & half hours ....i connected it with the BT headset which i connect it to my car by the 3.5mm in it listening to my music all the way...plus i made a couple of calls & it stayed with me all the way till i got home. is that a bad battery?? 4 me it's a powerful one...in general it can stay for more than 1 day with minimal use & with maximal use (calls - wifi - bt connection- play some music)it can stay for 1 day(13-15 hours)..it has been improved a lot with 2 updates released by SE. the output sound quality: when u connect the Aino 2 SE PC suite...it'll read it as Walkman phone...so the quality is unquestionable i guess...it's really amazing with many equalizers 2 choose between & Clear- bass�, Clear stereo� , Sense ME� & Mega Bass�. the BT headset & the Stand charger: the BT headset is a whole new experience for music lovers..this set is amazing...wut can be better than enjoyin ur music wireless & u don't have to keep it beside u or holding it with an astonishing sound quality...plus it got a 3,5mm which means u can connect it 2 a stereo & play ur music..connect it 2 ur car stereo..connect large headphones...all of this wireless. abt it's battery...i connect it every day i go out with ma car...i play music all my way..for hours...& it stays for DAYS..3-4days & maybe more in cold weather cuz the hot weather weaken the battery...i'm in love with this set. the stand charger is also a cool accessory..u plug the charger 2 it & u can also connect the usb 2 ur pc in same time plus u can connect it by wifi...& watchin movies when its plugged in it is very amusing. the 8.1MP HD cam: it's not a cyber-shot but it still a SE cam with almost all the specs of the cyber-shot...outstanding shots at day light more than dim light or darkness cuz of the LED flash but still will satisfy u. video recording (nHD) is amazin with very smooth playback. internet connection: HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, DLNA...really fast with good coverage. that plus its satellite connection for the location service Google maps - tracker - navigation)was a surprise for me 2 find it that fast. the remote play (for PS3): u can stay connected connected with ur PS3 xmb menu wherever u go using wifi or 3G connection & enjoy all the media u save on it..really amusin & it's like u have a 60 or 80 Gb phone. the applications: Facebook..Twitter.. you-tube...Accuweather. all of these apps will make u stay connected & updated all the time..as of course u can download many other compatible apps. i used before many nokia phones, plus the K750i, K810i & many other phones i put ma hands on through my friends the Aino now...it's the best phone i had put ma hands on..best for Entertainment..for Business...for communication...very recommended. for those who bought it ...enjoy...for those who didn't ..u r missing a lot

  • After having this phone for almost a year, I don't think I'll be looking for a new one in the next 2-3 years! Cannot ask for more! Excellent phone!

  • after using a symbian nokia fon i just bought aino. But it far more behind than symbian.u cant find any joy to use a java set after using a symbn set. It will suks

  • hai 1.my aino has this silent mode symbol all the time...i tried turning it off by pressing the silent mode button ..it doenst work 2.i cant access "profile"..its simply not going 3. sometimes my phones turns grey and comesback... can sumbody help me pls....i barely used this fone for a day...pls help me.

  • hi everyone,am a fan of nokia and sony ericsson n currently am using a nokia fone but nokia fones nowadays have lots of probs with their products so am thinking 2 buy sony ericsson aino,i like the looks n the touch screen is very sweet plus with an 8 mega pixel camera its so wicked.Well i would like ur opinion abt the fone coz i read lots of reviews saying its not a good fone n al that stuff so could u help me out over here coz i really want 2 buy it.

  • Hi everyone, i am planning to buy a new phone this christmas. i would like to ask for your help. Have always been a SE fan. My k800i still my phone, my only prob is that the battery life is weak and won't last a day so i decided to buy a new one. Have been choosing between Aino classic, x8 and x10mini. what's more advantagous anyway? Android or java phones? I do call and text a lot. and i surf the net via Wi5 most of the time. thanx... hOpe to hear from you guys!

  • Go For Aino...i highly recommend it for u & for everyone...i've put ma hands on many phones before..nokia & SE K750,K810...& now The Aino...one of the best i've put ma hands on...& comparing it wid other phones,it really satisfies me. Aino's cam 8.1MP is of course better than hazel(5MP)..it captures HD pics & nHD(near HD) videos with very very high quality..ppl complain about just cuz they can't adjust the cam settings right 2 the environment (place..light..focusing..etc). Aino's sound is AMAZING.. Walkman player with Clear- bass�, Clear stereo� & Sense ME�. 4 me i bought when it was first released with BT headset MH 100..& i have 2 tell u that it's a whole new experience...listening 2 ur music wireless with the highest quality ever..but now the Aino classic released without it but it worths every penny..go 4 the AIno

  • maybe u get a faulty set or u buy ur aino at underground market..

  • i'm thinking of buying a new SE hp...and i was wondering...SE Aino or W995???which is better???what about the camera???sound???and by the way....i was just wondering, is Aino's camera better or Hazel's camera???

  • i don't think so..the Aino is designed 2 work on Java..& SE of course wants u 2 buy the new upcoming phones workin on Android so, they won't give an already released phone this huge privilege.

  • in the future ...is there any possibility that aino will be upgraded to Android????? Michael waiting for reply.

  • u must have the media go software & let the media go adjust the sense me mood to all the songs in u library..it'll do it automatically...then when u transfer ur songs 2 ur phone..the songs mood will be already adjusted to each one

  • hi michael, i buy a new micro sd card yesterday an put in on my aino and add some song in it.when i go to sensme tm the songs cannot be play like before and say ''no mood songs found.please use pc software to transfer songs'' how do i fix this??and my old micro sd card has lost too..

  • I really regret that i have spend R4500 to buy the aino and its a really shit phone. Keeps on loosing signal and cutting every single phonecall. Sent it in for repairs and still doing the same old story. Wish i have known this before buying it!!!!!

  • Hi Vesna, AFAIK that function is default for any SE phone. BTW, I would try my hands on SE w902 )

  • Hi Isya, To continue with what Michel said...Yes Its is a great phone from all the aspects. The sound quality on the hands-free/headphones out run any phones. The display is vivid vibrant colors make it brilliant. The Camera output is really great if you have the right settings. Wi5 great it connects very quick. Browsing with opera 5.1 is simply outstanding. The out speaker is loud and clear. I never seen a well designed mobile phone like this in my life. It looks great in your hand. As you mentioned "OLD USER" yes it used to hang sometimes and the touch screen too was irresponsible. But have you asked any new user? Yes the updated version has got that all sorted out. No hanging and the capacitive touch screen works like a gem. If you press it hard it wont work when you get used to it you will know how easily it to operate the touch screen. For me the touch works even before I actually touch it...amazing you know! Thats what capacitive touch screens meant for. What you will get in the box; SE Aino U10i, Charger, HPM 60 Handsfree, USB Cable, A Battery, 2GB Micro SD card You won't be getting 'Stereo Bluetooth headset(HT100) & Charging Cradle'. But you may try Websites like amazon where they sell AINO with Stereo Bluetooth headset & charging cradle included The Price range; SE AINO - $369.99 to $379.99 SE AINO Classic U10I - $284.99 to $299.99 It is all marketing..SE just took off the BT headset and charging dock to suit the new price tag in order to increase the user base. Hope It helped )

  • hi quem! its very hard to choose for someone i dont know well. but to tell you the truth, since i had the W995 for almost a year and the aino for only 2 months, i feel more excited in AINO & i am going to discard my 995 in favor of the aino. WHY?? because i'm on the camera side. aino produces more natural, vivid and crisper pics/videos. i can edit them anytime on my computer anyway. and it looks more elegant in anyone's hand whether male/female user. If your purpose is for a GOOD PHONE, CAMERA & MUSIC go for AINO!!

  • You are welcome Gabriel ) It is really nice to see everyone shares their personal experience with other people on this forum )))

  • in the future...can we able to use android on aino??? (stupid question)))sss)))

  • It does support videocall, but yes, it does not have a secondary camera, so you would simply have to use a mirror for the person on the other end to see your face while you see their face on the phone's screen.

  • zzz...Aino is good 8 everyting..but no secondary camera, cant videocall...

  • i highly recommend the Aino...if its specifications fulfill ur needs & u like the mix between the touch & keypad,,,so don't listen 2 any other bad comments as before the updates SE released...after these updates the phone became perfect..& most probably u'll buy it updated already..u also have to consider the good opinions as well The Aino when first released...the box contained: BT headset with stand charger & 8Gb sd card Then SE released The Aino Classic w/ 2Gbsd card & without the Headset & the stand charger. why?? i don't know. hope i could help

  • Guys, as the phone dosn't have secondary cam. , so does it support video call. . .??

  • black look very smart and professional :)

  • i want buy this phone but i read the negative feedback from the old user...so i don't know should i buy it or not..if i really want to buy it what the thing i get from the box?its true that the bluetooth headset not include in the box?

  • Hey Kay, the camera quality is excellent (it is after all, an 8.1 megapixel camera), and yes it can zoom, both while taking the picture and then when you view the picture. As far as I know, it doesn't have sepia editing, but it does have flash, portrait, twilight, sports, landscape, and a few other photo settings. The touchscreen facility goes as far as your media such as pictures, music, videos, and camera. However, if you download Opera Mini, you can also browse a lot of websites with touchscreen too. As for the color, they say white is more for the females, but is harder to come by. The black is professional, but the white is mad. It's like shower gel vs soap bars... in the end it's the same quality. I, myself bought it recently (in black), and I can advise you to go for it. It's an absolutely brilliant phone, not only for the price, but a brilliant phone period. And you can expect great user-friendliness as Sony Ericsson does so well. Hope this helped

  • Yes Yee, it does :) U can view all the phone specifications on this website. Just type in Aino in the search box at the top right hand corner and the page displaying all its features and so on will pop up.

  • Thanx Aaron and Michael. Appreciate the assistance. I understand now. You guys are doing us a great favor. :)

  • umm, im about to buy the AINO. im more concerned bou the camera and the quality of it. can it zoom and stuff? also can it edit into sepia etc? to how far does the "touch" facility go? Thanks KaY. p.s dun kno which colour to choose. m a girl. love the white.. bt love the blacks "chiqueness" argh! :P

  • Hey .. I've got a question for you guys ... Yesterday I did some research about SE Vivaz and Aino .. in my research, if you buy an SE Aino you'll get a Bluetooth headset and the stand charger (in the box) .. And Today I'm going to the mall for phone surveys coz I'm gonna buy a new phone this end of the month (obviously) ... I was looking at 2 phone which is Vivaz and Aino ... And I'm asking the sales girl about the price of Vivaz and Aino and some stuff about this phone .. So I was asking her about the headset and the stand charger, and she said "There're no more stand charger for this phone .. coz this phone has been released for a months .. And they're not coming with this stand charger anymore" .. and I was like ... huh? .. And my question is ... Is that true about what the sales girl said?

  • thanks a lot jry... but i would like to know, if you were in my shoes which phone shall i buy? read your opinions and i'm on the W995 side.. what do you think? i'm really having a hard time choosing which phones i'll buy jry.. thanks..

  • Hey Michael, Recently, my touchscreen stopped working (doesn't respond to any kind of touch) and when I slide the phone closed, the screen refuses to turn off anymore. (Usually, if i closed it, it would go to "sleep" after a few seconds of showing the clock). Do you know anyone who has encountered this problem? and do you have any advice on how to fix this problem?? I've tried updating my software and that hasn't helped matters. Getting kind of desperate! Any help would be appreciated, from anyone at all. Thanks.

  • aino have wifi ???

  • hey Aaron, U r welcome & thanks for clearing up 2 the people...these arrows ">" "

  • It seems you mistakenly understood. It is the navigation key. For better understandings press * -> right navigation key(once) -> again * -> left navigation key(twice) -> again * -> left navigation key(once) -> again * Now you can have access to those settings. From accessing these settings you can know all about any SE phone (useful if you buy a 2nd hand phone)

  • But how do I access those symbols on the keypad? I can do that in messages obviously, but on the main screen I only know of being able to type * and # and numbers. Or are you talking about typing those symbols in on the PC's keyboard once the phone has been connected to the PC?... which I did try.

  • please tell me,which one is better with all features AINO or SATIO?

  • Sorry It was cut off... Press *>*

  • Thanks Michael, I too were unaware of this feature. Thank you for letting every1 know about that. BTW, the same setting can be accessed through pressing *>*

  • how to do dowlad motion sencer games? In which site ?

  • hi quem! since i've been using both phones, i'll share some specs of both. FORM: both are slide phones. WHEN CLOSED, aino is limited to its multi media functions operated through touch; can answer/mute calls. W995 can open any files, multi media, read/delete messages, browse internet using the outer keys. WHEN SLIDE IS OPEN, they have the same functions. keypad on aino is a little cramped but is easy to get used to it SOUNDS: they have the same walkman ver 4. so it's superb specially with headset on. W995 have 3.5 jack. without headset, W995 is louder becoz it has 2 speakers. PICTURES: AINO has clearer pics than W995 and have more realistic color. resolution is superb than W995. editing wise, W995 have the complete SE editing functions. aino have only photo fix & black & white VIDEOS: AINO wins over W995 coz its VGA. W995 is only WQVGA. its more pleasant to view videos in aino than W995. AGAIN!! EDITING WISE, W995 beats aino. there are more editing/viewing functions in W995. aino has none. CAMERA: although both claims it has 8mp, aino has better cam than W995 with regards to resolution. but W995 has more camera settings e.g. bestpic, red-eye, smile shutter, etc. OTHERS: internal memory AINO-55mb, W995-115mb; the pop-up of pics in messaging in missing in aino. so you have to open to know who's sending msg. both have same speed on browsing; both can manage 16gig external memory; both are durable; both are attractive whether male/female user. but aino is more feminine in white than W995 in red. and more elegant in its black version than the 995. i hope this might be a little help on your querry

  • You mean the Bluetooth Wireless Headset that comes with AINO (not classic)?

  • Hi Michael (or anyone else that can help), I recently bought the Aino, and i would just like to know how do I connect it to my USB port without it charging cause I don't wanna fry the battery (just like to be on the safe side).

  • 10x man.

  • As we all know sliding type phones wont last long.But AFAIK I have never heard anyone complaining about AINO's slide anywhere on the internet. Living with AINO for more than a month I never faced anything. And my slide open count goes 3500 so far but still the same smooth moving. I hope there wont be any problem in the future too

  • Try clearing your call content. Or, check how many msgs you have. It might be over 1000 already.

  • 1 Update the software...R7BA084 is the latest update 2 clear up the phone memory...try 2 clear up ur log (recieved-dialled-missed calls) & unimportant sent messages & don't save many things on it 3 restart ur phone least once a day or after each time u recharge it.

  • how would you know if the SE aino you bought is a china copy cat?? thanks

  • is there any problem in sliding?most people said that sliding set will not survive long time.is it true for aino?pls reply

  • How to solve Aino lags??

  • the black one is excellent

  • i love aino

  • HEY can u tell me how to download games and other softwares for aino??

  • Hi Asif, You better go and decide between them. Coz some people like white so much while others like black so much... I remember someone quoting in this forum..White is MORE STYLISH whereas black is AN ART

  • which color is great?pls reply

  • Thanks for Reply Michael. Aino U10 is really cool.

  • It disappoints at sometimes. For the price range a secondary camera wont be that much. I wish SE put a secondary camera with AINO. I would have been a complete device...

  • Yes it does support MP3 ringtones. You can access it from the menu...Organiser-> Filemanager -> Music -> You will have all your music files here..select the one that you want as your ringtone...then options-> use us -> ringtone

  • can anyone tell me if this phone support mp3 ringtones? if yes how do i access it?

  • Can you save and read e-books on this phone? tnx

  • Can anyone help me choose between AINO and Vivaz Pro? 10x!!!

  • I bought the Aino in the month of may 2010.....The device has NOT disappointed me at all....It is a very cool phone....It has the most unique design of all and is the best multimedia phone... Music quality is just superb....and the bluetooth headset's battery life is just too good!!.......I bought the luminous white colour....because the black does not look that attractive... The phone takes pretty long time to settle afer switching on.....video quality is just superb....camera is the best if u know hw to click with the correct settings........ When u r on a call, the voice clarity is not that good...but best on the MH100 (bluetooth headset)....The music player ( Walkman 4.0) is just too good....it looks amazing....Overall, the phone is a POWER BOMB!!! If u have the money...go for it..it wont disappoint u!!

  • On the right small part on the ear piece, why did you NOT put a 2nd Camera?

  • hey Aaron, u welcome...the default settings the phone automatically adjust it 2 ur or any secured network after u successfully connect 2 it...but if it failed,,so u'll have to adjust it manually...& that's y i can't give u a default settings...it depends on ur network & router settings which is different than mine.

  • Guys it seems Christmas offer has just kicked off, some Websites sell MW600 for half the original price....make use of it

  • Guys it seems Christmas offer has kicked off...Websites like amazon.co.uk, play.com gives away MW600 for half the original price...

  • Thanks Michael, How can get to know about all those details when in a secured network? Can you suggest a default settings for wi5?

  • does it have bluetooth?????

  • the BT headset is Perfect with no problems at all...at least wid me& my friends... the one which comes wid the phone is MH100 but u won't find it in market...u'll find the MW600 which similar 2 it with a small display shows song title...go 4 it it's amazing

  • hey Aaron, it's related in most of the time to the router settings...just restarting the router sometimes fix it...& if ur phone can't connect u may be have 2 adjust the advanced settings according to the router settings ( IP address, subnet mask, gateway..etc.) this should fix it...

  • Yet more stylish ;)

  • Hi Michael, Whenever I'm connected through wi5 and browse, it is loading but at the end I'm getting a msg like "Unable to connect. Please review your network settings" how to sort it out? Ty.,

  • really bluetooth headset gives problem???? which is comes with Aino....i think its MW600.... tell me please....i want to buy it.

  • yes, I'm also thinking about getting it on my AINO. If you found please share :)

  • I think that's the mini player. It's not appearing on my aino either. It's for controlling the music while the phone is closed and locked.

  • need to convert to mp4. it's in the specs

  • can you watch movies on this phone. For example I transfer from computer avi or mpeg movie to memory card? Is it possible or i have to convert movie to some special file to be able to watch it? Thank you

  • i think aino is much better than w995 in all respects.. for me aino is best. touchscreen is limited but nothing to worry still a good phone.. im gonna buy this. but my budjet is still 15000. so i have to wait for a month for my pocket money. amazing phone my friend has buy it .... amazing sound clear bass ....

  • I hate to write this, but....I'm having a lot of call droppings recently even though the network signal is full, have any of you faced this?

  • definitely it's...have u updated the phone? u have 2 update the software to version R7BA084 & if the problem remain as it's (i doubt it) u have 2 seek help from sony ericsson cust. service

  • Mobile is freezing when saving photos onto memory card and when it eventually starts working all data from the memory card goes missing. We've formatted the memory card which we just purchased (we thought the old one had become corrupted) but the problem persists. Same thing is happening with a Sony T715 purchased recently. Could this be a software problem?

  • no....i havent heard about it at all...its nothing

  • Go for AINO, you wont be regret buying )

  • so aino is much better than W995i?.. read the reviews for aino and W995i here and still i can't choose which phone is better.. anyone can help me decide? opinion reviews for W995i here are way "tooo greaaaaat" so any help from anyone of you guys will be greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot in advance :p

  • Hi Michael, I see a red line onto the bottom of default lock screen on AINO in some of the reviews, have any idea about that? I don't see any red line in mine but simply grayish ?! Ty

  • To be frank, I haven't come across many games that fit AINO's screen perfectly but hardly a few. I don't think even gameloft have any game for AINO. I got bored of searching for GOOD GAMES for my AINO. Bcuz at the end nothing is there..

  • Hi guyz, Does anyone know where i can get the MW 600 in the UAE,its like its non-existant,or am i searching in the wrong places....

  • yes i tried it before...& i found that the caller can see the street & of course can't see me as the rear cam was on during the call...& when she wanted 2 c me i turned the phone to be viewed by the rear cam & of course i couldn't see her...i.e u can see the caller or the caller see u but u can't see each other at the same time..it's so frustrating & weird... i read a comment from someone tried 2 use a mirror 2 solve this problem but i din't try that.

  • No, I don't think so. I've ever experience the same problem. It's not about port problem, dirty, or even damage. It happen coz you don't connect it properly, I mean not perfectly plugged.

  • frm whch site can i get aino games nybody has ny idea thn rply me !

  • both are good...i prefer aino becauce its slim and stylish.. white colour is great..!!

  • hey zorro,,, 1st make sure ur phone is updated 2 the latest version R7BA084...& u better restart ur phone once everyday or after each time u recharge it. 2nd thing...if u wanna move the call from the BT headset..2 ur phone without disabling the BT... u open the slide if its closed---press "Sound" the(up right button)& choose "to phone" & the sound will move 2 ur phone.

  • @micheal. thnx. ok. will do. one more question. i only rescently started to notice that when i play back music on my phone, on some songs, it will stop midway, and give me an error message. any reason for that? ok, make that 2. i listen to the radio 24/7 thats why i love my headphones so much. the only shlep is when i receive a call, the person on the other end complains that i am unclear, especially when i am outside, cos i'm using the headset. is there a quick way to disconnect the bluetooth connection when i get a call, so i can answer my call the normal way? hope that all makes sense.

  • hey Aaron, my recommendation 2 u is 4 sure the MW 600 -to be more compatible with ur Aino (important) as functions & look (design) as it also has a display show music title -the nokia one look like drug tablet...looks awful & u may face compatibility problems with it, go 4 the MW 600

  • Hey Michael, Hope you doing good out there :) I still searching between perfect earphones and thought of asking your recommendation on the followings. Thank you for helping everyone out here. # Sony MDR-EX300 # Sony MW 600 # Nokia BH-214 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

  • there's no secondary cam...but u still can make video calls...& if u want the one u call 2 see u u'll have 2 use the main cam or use a mirror :)

  • my aino's charging port started playing games with me.. it just wont charge until you actually have to bend it.. i know all SE phones are like that actually.. my w810 was like that for 10 mos. but it didnt break at a.. i think its totally normal.. we'll just have to clean it

  • The Aino got GPS as wisepilot app...which isn't free.. & got google maps which is of course free. and also got tracker which can be used during workin out or running works also by GPS

  • first of all u have know well wut do u really want in ur phone..& compare between these 2 phones....there's a main difference bet. them which is the N8 is full touch screen phone & the aino isn't it's a mix bet keypad & touch screen...u have 2 make ur decision abt that.& then look at the specifications & try 2 c each one in any store 2 make ur choice.

  • Aino gt GPS??? Google Maps? is it free???

  • Thanks for your informations, Michael.

  • the Aino's screen is embedded a little bit deep in its frame & that provide some protection for it unlike the other phones at which the screen has no any frames. plus my aino fell down a couple of times & thank God nothin happens 2 the screen...but the frame get hurt a little.

  • hey raj, first of all u know well wut do u really want in ur phone..& compare between these 2 phones....there's a main difference bet. them which is the galaxy is full touch screen phone & the aino isn't it's a mix bet keypad & touch screen...u have 2 decide abt that. if u looking for a multimedia phone with exceptional screen & Sound quality plus 8.1 MP cam...so go 4 the Aino. & if u want an android full touch gaming phone so go for the galaxy... there r many differences bet u have 2 decide abt them

  • hey marvin, make sure first that ur wap settings are set up correctly---open u r phone browser & type m.nimbuzz.com..click get it now & just chooose the phone type...& there u go...u have it...but i wanna tell u something that skype on Aino is just for chatting & no calls can be made from it...that just needs certain phone types.

  • Hey guys, I would like to know if the display screen cracks easily like most of the other touchscreen gadgets?

  • why i cant use the nimbuss that i download showing error..any site the i can download again the nimbuss or skype..same on the nokia there is ovi that easy to download all apllication..anybody can help me...tnx

  • Does anyone know how to get youtube to work with Wifi? I've searched for a solution, but it never wants to load. =\

  • Michael thanks a tonne on the advice given,as Aaron said before the headphones that come with the Aino Classic really suck big time,and this is the only version available in Dubai...For such a fantastic phone it really beats me how SE could pair it with such hedious headsets,even if its in the name of downcosting!! Thanks Man.

  • Except that front camera, and 3.5mm audio jack its a great phone from all the aspects.. But why not a 3.5mm audio jack with the phone? I found most of SE's GREAT headphones are designed to fit 3.5mm audio jack. And I hate the ear buds ones.

  • Hi Friends Sony Aino Very Very Nice Nice Mobile But Head Ver Very Worst. Head Phones Very Very Worst not available call attend key. For Any Details For Aino Mobile [email protected]

  • Michael? hi...seeing tat u r quite good in hp...ya? tis hp gt dictionary? and disadvantage gt wad?

  • hey salt, u have 2 choices...the best but may be expensive...is the Bluetooth headset MW 600...it's awesome...highest quality...listen 2 ur music wireless..havin a 3.5mm jack which u'll allow u to plug it 2 anything(car stereo, hi-fi or headphones) & listen through 2 ur music..or u can buy the HPM 82 i didn't use it before but it has many good feed back on it..but not so sure abt it.

  • The headphones comes with AINO Classic sucks actually. And to my surprise when I listened to my playlists with that OLD HPM 62, wOw that was great I love the feel it gave me and got it lost now. Still searching for a better headphone and confused to choose one.

  • Hari which version of Xilisoft you are actually using? I'm using 6 ultimate and no problem with the conversion so far actually this is the best converter out there. You can select what destination you want it to be stored. # Add the video file # From the 'profile' got to 'general video format' Select "MP4 - MPEG4 - Video # Put the video scale as 480*320 also select 'high video quality' 'high audio quality' from the dropdown # Convert files, you can be able to play in on UR phone. Also try "Super" video converter Its more easy, I used to use it on my win xp. But its not working well with win 7. Otherwise I would recommend it to everyone.

  • Hi michael,i just got my new Aino phone and its fab,but i wanted to ask if i can change the headphones that came along with it,as to be honest they are not that good as the ear plugs are a little too big for my ears and am not enjoying my music as am supposed to.Can you suggest if there are any alternatives.....thanks so much for the assistance your giving its really appreciated.

  • Hi Aaron, i have converted video files to 3GP and MP4 as well using XILISOFT converter but both the format is not working. If u r using Xilisoft then please let me know which format u selected as destination. (Mobile MP4 or Normal video MP4)

  • I want to know if this cell phone will be for sale in Brazil. It was in market in other countries, but Sony Ericsson don't sell it in Brazil. Can someone answer this question, please?

  • I don't think there is any? Did you check it on GETJARDOTCOM?

  • Yes Michael thats true. I too thought that the 8.1 MP wouldn't be that good. But from my experience I realized it takes perfect photos if adjust to wright settings. # During day light/Well lighted - Portrait mode # During sun set/Dim lighting - Twilight Mode (mountain on the back) # During the night/ Dark places - Twilight mode with flash No handshakes in any mode

  • hey zorro, at first when i bought the phone i thought that cam wasn't as i expected...but i was sure that something is wrong wid the use & not the cam... first u have to set the cam to the right settings according to the environment...yes u can put everything in auto but that won't do it...for example: if u r shooting someone in a dim light..u have to set it to portrait twilight & turn the face detector...& u can turn off the flash or turn it on acc to the environment..plus u have to make ur wrist still & not shakin cuz it doesn't have an image stabilizer (but it has video stabilizer)...& u have to check somethin very imp that'll help u a lot i guess go to menu--entertainment--photo mate & download the tips..it'll help adapt on the cam & know everything about it

  • hey Rahman, from the research I've done...the Aino does support the micro SDHC according 2 sony official website.

  • HI Michael, I know that AINO does support 32 GB card but i am not sure if it is Micro SD or Micro SDHC transflash. Can you bring more clarity on this aspect. Your comment will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rahman

  • Hi Aaron, Thanks for the reply, is there any software like OVI MAP in NOKIA for map storing. coz all the time if i am taking google map or the wisepilot it is accessing to the internet.. Please let me know if you know any thing related to this.

  • hey valencha...choosin a phone depends on wut u need the most and wut r the phone specs and performance. the aino is a perfect phone: touchscreen with keypad...8 mp hd cam.....amazin sound output compared to other phones....great crystal clear display...fast net connectionc 7,2 mb.....and much mooore....i totally recommend the aino

  • Hi i wanna ask about the media player. I have problem with playback with some of my music. They are in mp3 format. I had no problem playing them on my pc and Samsung Preston but it always can't play back on my Aino. Any solutions?

  • don't worry..it doesn't run on symbian os...it runs on Java.

  • Ok put video into search box and got some ideas,,my videos are max vga 3ofs bjut most arte qvga 30fps mp4 so will be fine BUT what i am concerned with is i go out filming using my mobile,,(my mobile is everything a complete cam/ music/calender/alarm/watch/video/stopwatch/games­/the lot and i only like one device since 2005)i film action so framerate is neccessary ..the w995 is fine but only qvga video recording,,its time to UP the game and aino HOPEFULLY is that perfect solution..I understand s/e cams and good sound plus aino has torch funtion just last test is video recording smootness thanx....

  • I have read some posts that it runs on Symbian OS. I hope not? :/

  • Have just read gsm arenas review and the aino satisfys my use except for video recording..The quality is fine for me but its got skipped frames on gsmarenas trst sample and states its doubled frames....Has the software updates improved video recording performance..I f this question has already been answered then i suppose i will have to start reading thru pages of comments or search function..thanx Philm.....

  • UR Welcome ) Finally you showed up :D

  • thnx Aaron 4 helpin me out here...keep it up

  • hey jerry, the Aino officially (by SE) can take up to 32Gb SD MC...so i think when u put the 16gb it'll be as smooth as it's wid u now...i hope u update ur phone before u go for it..& for 2 make sure ur aino remain fast...delete ur calls log from time 2 time as well as for the sent messages.restart once everyday or everytime u recharge it..& the applications u better save it on the memory card...these things will keep ur phone fast yes deleting the chinese opera mini app is enough when u delete u uninstall it in the same time.

  • I love wave for the gaming alone, but as per the users reviews BADA sucks, and wave have a easily broken display. I was initially thinking between, jet, wave, aino...and I'm happy with my final decision.

  • Hey hari, it plays MP4 and 3GP files. Use a better converter(4media, xilisoft) to covert the video files and enjoy it in the vibrant display :)

  • Aakash, are you serious? The sound quality on the headset is really great man. I'm using the latest updated one and it never sucks. I tested myself the sound clarity with some of my friends who are using wave, jet, w995, and AINO beat it all. And no any problem so far hope there wont be any. May be its the fault with your update processing....

  • I own this phone and I hate it!! i mean it was all awesome in the beginning but it sucks now... especially after the software update!! i mean its stable and all.. but the cam app automatically closes on its own and sometimes only a part of the recorded clip is saved and the volume of the music is decreased to really bad. I mean if I try to connect anything except the headphones that came with it... the volume sucks!!

  • guys,use flash menus to make aino more stylish

  • great phone but so much costly

  • i have copied MPEG4 video file to my aino. But it's not working. Anybody know which all format will work? will 3GP work in aino? Thanks in advance......

  • hey michael! its me again, jerry! just want to ask if this aino will run smoothly on 16G? coz the mc card in it is only 2G. you see to tell you honestly, compared to my prevous SE phones (k800, c901, w995) this aino is a little slow but, compared to nokia, aino is fast. so i'm just wondering if it will run slower or will not change if i put 16G on it. do we have a software i can install for aino that can EDIT PICS & VIDS? most important - how to UN-INSTALL APPLICATIONS? (like MINI OPERA CHINESE)is it enough to JUST DELETE THE FILE/S?? Thanks again michael

  • whats the cpu, ram n os of aino? Can anybody tel me correctly?

  • is aino better than samsung s8500 wave in today's date? Rep soon al buddies

  • nice one...i like

  • A - Awesome Sound I - Incredible Design N - Nice Display O - Overall a Gr8 phone

  • The Aino isn't a full touch-screen phone u can't dial or send a sms (w/QWERTY) with it but u can take photos, go through all ur media, answer-mute-open loud speaker-cancel the calls, with the opera mini 5 surf the net with only the touch-screen & a QWERTY keys on the screen & that all plus the applications which is compatible with the Aino..most of them work by touch...like nimbuzz, ebuddy, UEFA app 2 follow the championship matches & many other.. so if u r looking for full touch screen phone u have 2 take a look at the satiou, vivaz or the xperia

  • hey Hari, u r welcome....u have 2 make sure of couple of things... 1.make sure u put the settings in the USB internet access to connect "via computer". 2.make sure that ur pc is connected to the net (before u plug it) 3. make sure u switch off the wi-fi & i'll be honest wid u...sometimes it doesn't work wid me but the best way 2 connect is by wi-fi.

  • For about 15 years, I was a big fan of Nokia. I recently changed my brand to Sony Ericsson. I WILL NEVER BUY another phone again. I have not experienced one problem with my AINO, and will recommend it to anyone. I have only one CELL in mind�.and this will be for the years to come. SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ERICSSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Im planning to get an AINO.right now i have Nokia music xpress 5530.im very comfortable with the touch screen(specially,while using web,the Qwerty pad).now what i want to know is--is the aino fully touchscreen system(so the number pad need not be necessarily used for everything!)

  • only specific function

  • Hi michael!! Even i have the smae qstn what jerry asked to you.i bought my aino on last thursday(04-Nov-2010) and its software version is 1223-3004 R7AA071 091124. i have seen lot of discussion in the sony sites regarding the update of firmware. lot of people are experiened freezing the phone,slow and all. Please let me know do you have any prob like that after update and do i need to update my firmware(what are the extra application will we get after update)? Thanks in advance.....

  • hey michael!! finally!! i got my AINO last saturday from HK. its software says 1223-3015 R7BA084 100323. do i have the latest already? there are many apps in store including opera mini but upon installing it, its in chinese version. can you help me find/install english opera mini?? you might be receiving concerns from me again from time to time since i haven't explored in yet and your the authority in AINO. please remain patient and helpful! (glad to have someone like you here man!) thankyou so much!

  • u can't adjust or remove it...it takes only sec & it lock the touchscreen...but it's not about lockin it's about that the screen does show me the option 2 call again very single time the no. is busy or no answer..& it gives much time 2 decide.....u should first put the slide to not 2 end call when closed & update ur phone software if u didn't...& wut i'm tryin 2 say...THERE IS the option 2 redial through the touchSCREEN.

  • yes Michael, the re dialing option is there :)Ty.. But how do I remove the automatic lock or can I adjust the sec before automatic lock? Cuz once there is no answer it locks itself. As such,I have to tap it to keep it active to see options like "redial" before it locks.

  • Aaron, i told u wut i experience wid my phone every single day...i set up the slide to NOT to hang up when i close it i.e when i close the slide---it doesn't end the call..so when i call someone i open the slide to dial then close & have my call...i mute, open loud speaker or end the call by the touch screen...if the no. was busy or no answer...it shows me :"busy (no answer)--call again ---yes---no ? on the screen...that's how it works wid me

  • i guess? i quite love my aino..it's more about what features you need in a phone. this phone is geared towards media loving people but i only seem to use the music player the most..the camera is not too bad, but when u zoom to the max it gets a bit grainy, but mostly the high talktime and high music playing hours are a plus for me, compared to most smartphones nowadays. In addition, it seems to be the only phone around that sports a full touch screen with a hidden numeric keypad. Cant get this design elsewhere. Companies assume that people only like full touch screens or qwerty keypads..

  • No Michael I checked if the line is busy or there is no answer it goes back to that default screen only no any options like you told?!? And I need to slide it to call again :( Guys, regarding games, theme, wallpapers I found this site to be helpful...check it out it has some good flash wallpapers and other things on aino :) se4ever.com

  • can i know this phone also can video call or not

  • hi frnds...i bought an aino classic(black)today from uae for AED.1199

  • I have a Sony Ericsson C902 at the moment and I LOVE it! Would the Aino be a good upgrade for me?

  • hey.aaron......yes u can.. if the no u called is busy or there was no answer...the touch screen will show the option to retry calling again.

  • Hi Michael, Can I redial a number using the touch screen???

  • Remote play for Playstation 3

  • does this phone has a Andriod update ?

  • u can't dial, send sms, or find a contact with it but u can take photos & videos, go through all ur media, play the radio,review ur photos PLUS u can answer-mute-open loud speaker-cancel the calls,& retry calling..PLUS with the opera mini 5: surf the net with only the touch-screen & a QWERTY keys on the screen & that all plus the applications which is compatible with the Aino..most of them work by touch...like nimbuzz, ebuddy, UEFA app 2 follow the championship matches & many other..4 me that's more than enough.

  • update its software....go 2 settings--general---update software

  • hey jerry, abt the firmware updates...yes SE released 2 updates...but most of stores sell it now updated....but IF u didn't get it updated, YES IT'S VERY IMP 2 update it & it's simple as the other SE...& when u r gonna update it ..u'll receive the latest update only which is enough 2 improve ur phone... the 8.1MP HD cam: it's not a cyber-shot but it still a SE cam with almost all the specs of the cyber-shot...outstanding sharp HD shots at day light more than dim light or darkness cuz of the LED flash but still will satisfy u. video recording (nHD) is amazin with very smooth playback. but let me tell u something...the 12,1 MP cam od the satiou is a powerful cam but the software (symbian)which different, not smart...full of problems (lags & hangs a lot...touch not smooth at all...NB these r not my words) but a powerful cam...so u decide...hope i could help

  • please help, mu aino freezez all the time is there anyone who can help me with this its driving me up the wall

  • Hello I'm thinking to buy this mobile phone , but I just have a question, can i do everything with its 'touch screen' ?? ( adding contacts , finding contacts, writing messages, playing music...etc..)or the touch screen is for some specific functions only ?! ..Thank you..

  • hi michael! seems ur the authority here re: AINO! and i'll be having my aino classic in a few days from HK after a year of drooling for it. i'm a SE phone user ever since. k750, k800, c901 & w995. I'm more of a camera phone person and i'm not satisfied with the camera of the w995. i just hope that the AINO has better pic/video versus the w995 or can i say better or at par with the 901?? may i also ask the PROPER WAY TO UPGRADE? how many times you must upgrade? (i've read that there are 2 firmwares available) should you upgrade the 1st firmware or should i go directly to the newer version? does it have the same simple upgrade like other SE phones?? i was the one who upgraded my 901 but it did not made any difference. (w995 says it has already the latest firmware). IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO UPGRADE FIRMWARE?? please give me other tips i forgot to mention. tnx michael!!

  • Hi Michael, Can you send me the websites to [email protected]?Thanks in advance. Also can you tell me the exact video settings for AINO? Some mp4 files don't play on my aino. Its like lil bit dragging because of the high quality video.

  • The player that should come out when the screen is locked. It was stated in the review, but I cant make it appear

  • wut do u mean by the mini media player?

  • Hi Micheal, How do you activate the mini media player?

  • juz bought it.. N i am using the hp to type tis rite nw! Bt nw black aino moz of them is classic version.. So no bluetooth headset.

  • Who knows? Probably I would buy this phone instead of Nokia X5 or Sony Ericsson X10...

  • u r welcome Aaron, it's my pleasure....i got a couple of sites jsut for games...but here they don't allow anyone to post sites on this forum.. every time i post something they delete it..so u have 2 search on google...& search for "digital chocolate" games...these r the best & most of them work by the motion sensors & few by touch.

  • hi ,if anyone know is the arabic language on the browser or in chatting are right ? pleeez

  • No..the aino is good phone with all features adapter works perfectly....it has impressive sound quality both on stereo speaker and handsfree...

  • Thanks Michael for the gaming suggestion. But I can hardly find any games there. You have been really helpful for people on this forum

  • of course the Aino...compare between them & u will see.

  • I see. Thanks for clarifying. But does the adapter cant really connect? Cux i had a W595. I always have problem listening to music unless i move the adapter up and down till there's sound.

  • satio total talk time cheking code plz anyone if u know help me guys i need it

  • i searched before for many sites which provide games at different dimesnsion till i found this site..umnet.com...just set up the phone type & u'll get many games..the touch games aren't not much...but there r many work by motion sensors & in full screen

  • Michael, is there any full screen or TOUCH GAMES available for AINO? Why I cannot find a single game working on AINO out there whereas more number of games available for other brand mobiles released along AINO?

  • Hey aino, the Bt headset just transmits the sound alert of incoming calls...it doesn't transmit messages sound alert..& that's normal.

  • Hi Michael, I just bought my aino last week and I have a problem redirecting the sound alerts of messages from the phone to the bluetooth headset. Is there anyway to do this? I dont have a problem when listening to the radio or the media player. It's just that the sound alerts sound from the speaker of the phone and not on the headset.

  • No there is no 3.5mm jack on Aino but it comes with the 3.5mm adapter..

  • May i know whats the audio jack for Aino? 3.5?

  • I've had one for almost a year now, and can only criticise the keyboard by being a tad too close to the bottom rim of the sliding pad. Excellent to the touch and the key bulges are just right, for my fingers anyway.

  • Just try Format Factory its URL is www.formatoz.com its awesome converter for Sony Ericsson Aino and I say in the end that Aino ROCKS!!!!! There is no other phone like AINO..This converter converts video to 432x240 easily and with high quality and its also free..

  • Hey... I heard that the keypad of the aino is hard and small... is it true?

  • sorry man i can't help u wid this. better 2 seek help in this issue from any SE support service

  • to convert ur videos or movies to MP4 format use "Any Video Converter"..it's free & easy 2 use

  • hey man, this is for all Aino owners... use Media GO software for ur SE Aino (any SE phone)...it's the perfect media organizer for ur Aino..it's very easy 2 use...easy media transfer 2 u r phone..it's amazing.(for music: make ur playlists for better organization & easier transfer) for the videos or movies...u don't have to convert ur videos to that specific frame 432x240...u just have to convert it 2 MP4 format if u have it in (WMV or AVi)& it comes perfect in ur phone in full screen or normal mode...play it in touch screen mode & enjoy.

  • hey Aaron, remember that SE released the "Aino" with the MH 100 BT headset with amazing sound quality before they release the classic one with the normal earphones...i don't even know until now they release the classic & stop releasing the original one with all its accessories?? may be to decrease its price? although it's price wasn't high at all regarding the accessories.. at least SE could keep both in market.

  • Hi Michael, I really appreciate your patience in helping us with the facts about the great AINO.It is indeed a great phone. I just had a question about the videos?. Do you know any free software which can convert videos to 432x240 resolution. I have tried with couple of softwares but those couldn't actually convert videos/movies to 432x240 resolution. your help is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance

  • Thank you Michael for your answer. My software is up to date. Version: R7BA084 If you know how to reinstall the software can you show it to me please?

  • Like Michael said, the sound quality is awesome cannot be compared with other phones. As always SE rules. But why do they put a cheap earphones with AINO? It woulda better if it includes hpm70 or 77 or 82 ;)

  • Camera quality is awesome...it records video as they are, takes pictures brilliantly. Who ever complaints about the camera quality get a life guys. During day time its perfect, even at night in well lighted place if you adjust the settings to portrait,it takes pictures like that of during day times. And while it is dim light adjust the settings to 'twilight (having mountain on the back) I love my aino )))BTW, No greenish pictures as with other low range SE mobiles....)

  • about to get the phone.... hope you are all right!!!! :-)

  • u welcome Alamir, didn't i tell u that? it's about the signal of ur network operator in ur location...it differs from place to another if ur network isn't covering all places equally... & yes Aino rocks

  • update ur phone software & if it's up to date...so try 2 reinstall the software by help of a pro...this issue is very strange to me & i recommend u also check other forums to know the reason behind this error or get help from SE support service.

  • the sound quality of this phone cannot be compared wid other phones...cuz it beats any other phone when it get 2 sound...just try it with Hpm 82 (for example) earphones or with BT headset MH 100 or MW 600 & check it again.

  • hey Aaron, about the youtube, u just need a high speed internet connection 2 view youtube videos on ur Aino...it happened wid me before & when i connected the phone 2 a wifi connection with high speed..i got the videos... about the videos why u want 2 convert them 2 432x240? the movies i got aren't in this resolution & i put them on the Aino & they just fit on landscape with full screen mode just needed 2 be im MP4 format.

  • Any advice guys? I cannot find any video converter that converts file in 240x432 resolution? Any one tried, if so can you tell me the name of the software? I'm currently using SUPER though. Thnx

  • Hi Michael! I have some problems with trackId. I run it om my Aino u10i classic, it records for some seconds then starts the browser and shows this message: TrackID(tm) is a Sony Ericsson and Gracenote service. Due to terms & conditions, we can only allow Sony Ericsson phones. sonyericsson.com. We too think it's a great service :-) looks like this: Can u help me please??? :(

  • Hi michael, I tried to send it to service and there found the signl full bars!, do you magine this?!! any way, it is working for now even with one bar signal and I realy liked the phone so much. and if the problem still exits then I will send it back to service to check. Thanks Michael. Aino Rocks. alamir

  • Nice..once again Thank You )

  • hey Aaron, u r welcome. the MH 100 is apparently not in market...SE only release it with The Aino before the Aino classic was released...so there's the "MW 600" which is in market it's the same as the MH 100 BT headset with same quality & with a display which isn't in the MH100 ;)...it starts with 45 $. it worths it as it has 3.5mm jack which allow u to listen 2 ur music wid headphones or connect it 2 a stereo or a car stereo & hear as loud as u can.

  • Thank you very much mike, for answering everyones's queries on this forum. Mike, Can you please tell me how much that "MH 100 BT" costs? I cannot find it on amazon.com?!? Also is there any touch games for this may be fully touch or partially? I like to play games ) Thank you.

  • i decided to repost this review on the Aino (from an 10 month owner) passing by all the questions have been asked 2 me... i bought the full gadget Aino...the one with the BT headset & stand charger plus 8GB micro SD MC.(now there's been an Aino classic with 2 GB MC & without the headset & the stand charger but all the same phone) i'll start with the software...it runs on Java..the well known SE smart OS...that's a huge benefit cuz it's very very smart among handling ur contacts, ur messages, the file manager, the BT connection,music arrangement with the album arts ,the 3G internet connection even the USB connection etc...all of this has been upgraded in this phone rather than the other older SE phones with more options to facilitate many many things for u as SE has merged the smart options of the K-series with the specs of the W-series which make it a unique SE phone...that beside it's fast, & esp. in the Aino the touch screen is very responsive & smooth & in the 8 months i remember it hangs only twice at first yes only twice... on the other hand when u put ur hands on a Symbian(i put ma hands on these phones) phone like for example the the nokia, some samsung phones & the satio & the vivaz...u'll know the difference..it hangs really a lot...very slow...the screen isn't smooth at all..plus it's not smart at all. the Aino's design: the phone is really slim with a smart art to make it with this size & with these specifications...when u compare it wid other phones with the same specifications...u'll know wut i'm talkin about...the white color of it is very stylish...the black is very elegant..a piece of art the touch screen:smooth..highly responsive & sensitive... some say it's limited...i say it's not...may be u can't dial or send a sms with it but when u can take photos, go through all ur media, answer-mute-open loud speaker-cancel the calls & recall,plus with the opera mini 5 surf the net with only the touch-screen & a QWERTY keys on the screen & that all plus the applications which is compatible with the Aino..most of them work by touch...like nimbuzz, ebuddy, UEFA app 2 follow the championship matches & many other..4 me that's more than enough. the battery life: many ppl talk about it...i'll tell u my experience with it....one day there's only in the battery 20% & i had a travel for 150KM that is one & half hours ....i connected it with the BT headset which i connect it to my car by the 3.5mm in it listening to my music all the way...plus i made a couple of calls & it stayed with me all the way till i got home. is that a bad battery?? 4 me it's a powerful one...in general it can stay for more than 1 day with minimal use & with maximal use (calls - wifi - bt connection- play some music)it can stay for 1 day(13-15 hours)..it has been improved a lot with 2 updates released by SE. the output sound quality: when u connect the Aino 2 SE PC suite...it'll read it as Walkman phone...so the quality is unquestionable i guess...it's really amazing with many equalizers 2 choose between & Clear- bass�, Clear stereo� , Sense ME� & Mega Bass�. the BT headset & the Stand charger: the BT headset is a whole new experience for music lovers..this set is amazing...wut can be better than enjoyin ur music wireless & u don't have to keep it beside u or holding it with an astonishing sound quality...plus it got a 3,5mm which means u can connect it 2 a stereo & play ur music..connect it 2 ur car stereo..connect large headphones...all of this wireless. abt it's battery...i connect it every day i go out with ma car...i play music all my way..for hours...& it stays for DAYS..3-4days & maybe more in cold weather cuz the hot weather weaken the battery...i'm in love with this set. the stand charger is also a cool accessory..u plug the charger 2 it & u can also connect the usb 2 ur pc in same time plus u can connect it by wifi...& watchin movies when its plugged in it is very amusing. the 8.1MP HD cam: it's not a cyber-shot but it still a SE cam with almost all the specs of the cyber-shot...outstanding shots at day light more than dim light or darkness cuz of the LED flash but still will satisfy u. video recording (nHD) is amazin with very smooth playback. internet connection: HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, DLNA...really fast with good coverage. that plus its satellite connection for the location service Google maps - tracker - navigation)was a surprise for me 2 find it that fast. the remote play (for PS3): u can stay connected connected with ur PS3 xmb menu wherever u go using wifi or 3G connection & enjoy all the media u save on it..really amusin & it's like u have a 60 or 80 Gb phone the applications: Facebook..Twitter.. you-tube...Accuweather. all of these apps will make u stay connected & updated all the time..as of course u can download many other compatible apps. i used before many nokia phones, plus the K750i, K810i & many other phones i put ma hands on through my friends the Aino now...it's the best phone i had put ma hands on..best for Entertainment..for Business...for communication...very recommended. for those who bought it ...enjoy...for those who didn't ..u r missing a lot

  • hi michael....wanna buy aino.pls tell me abt its performance.......abt its speaker quality and most importantly abt the battery life...... thanks in advance sushant

  • hey Aaron, congratulation...good 2 know that u like its sound quality... ok i look up in the net for ur question cuz i have the MH 100 BT headset & didn't try the earphones... i found many ppl recommending the HPM 82...cuz the play/pause control integrated in the set. and it looks much better but it's more expensive ...some say the quality is better & some say it's the same !!!..& u have 2 make sure that's its compatible wid the Aino before u buy it...for me..i totally recommend the BT headset (yes it's expensive) but it's an amazin device wid high vol & quality sound..a new experience. hope i could help.

  • Okay..Mickael I got the mobile on hand. The audio quality of earphone is superb clear and awesome. My question is I feel it to be little bit I mean lil bit low, is there a way to increase it? I got a earphone that says 60, is this good? or as some people say I should go for 70? 82? which one can give me extradionary sound? Thanx

  • The "Aino U10" which released before the "Aino U10 classic" if it's still in market in ur country u'll find the accessories in the box plus 8GB memo included.

  • Then what does actually include that????

  • Nope. Aino Classic doesn't include the stand, headset and only has 2GB sd card instead of 8GB

  • Hi, I'm getting Aino U10 classic tonight. Which one actually includes Blutooth headset, and that stand? Is classic do that?

  • hey Riaz...R7BA084 is the latest update which u need for ur phone..when u perform an update u will receive this update & it'll improve ur phone.

  • hey Sam, u welcome....i'm sure ur phone now will be just perfect after u updated it.... any phone get slow when u fill up the Phone memory up to its limits. for the memory card it's recommended to leave at least about 10% of it empty for better performance.

  • Can any one mention which are two updates(softwares) i need to perform for SE Aino.

  • Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for your response. I just got the latest updated today and try to follow the tips, that you gave. Hope it stays quicker from now on. One more question - Do you think the size of the content on the memory card makes the phone a little slower too? awaiting your response... cheers.

  • hey sam...i owned the Aino 10 months ago...i experienced lags & hangs BEFORE the release of the 2 updates by SE...after that the phone is workin perfect wid me...& i rlly mean it...no hangs or lags...the batt improved...the touch improved every things is just workin well... u should try 2 erase ur calls log and/or ur sent messages....plus restart it every day just once...that should make it faster..i hope i could help

  • hey Alamir, u r not disturbing me at all...i'm really wanna help u...but i think u should take it to the cust. service & they will tell u wut's wrong with it if there's really something wrong wid it cuz it's a critical issue 2 u. hope i could help

  • I have been using Aino for over 10 months and from performance perspective, this is by far the worst phone I ever had. It's sluggish and it hangs very often.. I need to update the service at least once a month to get the phone quicker. I am surprised to see that not many people are reporting this issue. Is it really as good as the review (Performance - 8.5) says? Or is it an overrated one? My intention behind asking this question is to understand if there is any manufacturing glitch in my handset or is it general. Would appreciate your experience and the comments to my question. Thanks - Sam

  • Dear Michael, Thank you so much for your reply, how nice and helpful you are. I need to check one small thing, did you encourage one day that there is no signal on your mobile, while there is a signal in any other mobiles brand? Also what about if I got a cover for him, is this will solve the problem ? what I feel now that signal stength is this mobile is less than other mobiles. sorry Michael if I disturb you with my question, but this is critical for my work. Thank you again for any reply. Alamir

  • hey Alamir, u said it works well in the elevator & even at work...& u only complain about it when u r home....so i think the signal at ur home is weak. and yes it's normal when u hold it or when u move the signal keep changing in strength...& if u didn't find any signal..just restart the phone...it's normal as long as the phone gets a full 3G signal in other places other than ur home.

  • Yes the software is updated to latest version. do you see the same problem wih signal in your Aino? Appretiate also your response as this will hlep me more. Alamir

  • HAve you updated the firmware? If you haven't go to the SE site for further info...

  • Hi Michael, I want to say that in my home is it two or one bar,however 95% of time, I recive signal, only two times I found there is no signal at all. compared to samsung Omnia Pro, samsung has more signal. the strange thing, that when I put it in my pocket, it works even in elevator and in my work, it works well (does interacting with body makes signal better?). the strange thing that when I hold it, the signal varies, somtimes it gets up and sometimes it drops one signal .. is this normal? Please answer me as I am thinking to send it to service center. Also I am asking, what if I purchase a cover for it, will this improve the signal performance, make it lower or no difference? Appretiate your response and your wonderful support. Thank you my friend. Alamir

  • when i talk about The battery life...i should consider the phone's specifications...high specifications..the battery will last for max. with minimal use(22-24 hours) ..low specifications...the battery can last for days. my experience wid the Aino's batt..only 20% left in the batt. & i had a travel for 150KM that is one & half hours ....i connected it with the BT headset which i connect it to my car by the 3.5mm in it listening to my music all the way...plus i made a couple of calls & it stayed with me all the way till i got home. is that a bad battery?? 4 me it's a powerful one...in general it can stay for more than 1 day(24hrs) with minimal use & with max. use (calls - wifi - BT connection- net surfing - gaming)it can stay for 13-15 hrs.

  • hey Alamir, the signal strength depend on many things...ur operator network strength, ur location (if underground or in an elevator) or simply in an area which is not covered well by ur network...for me when i'm home the signal isn't full 3G but when i go out 2 different places i find it full 3G..& also in some places i find it weak..so try 2 see the signal strength in different places...plus make sure u updated ur phone 2 the latest update.

  • hey Michelle, that was also one of the main reasons i bought this amazing phone cuz it's not a full touchscreen. yes u can access all ur media & the gallery using the keypad as other SE phones...but for the camera u can't use the keypads...u can only use the touch screen & the shooting button plus the volume buttons for zooming on the side of the phone.

  • I'm planning to buy this Aino....I heard its battery life is so poor compared to Nokia. Can any one help me in this regard & let me know if there are any other issue...immediatly

  • My friends, I got a new Aino and it is realy fantastic with Media. however I see that his signal stregth is very week (most of time two or even one bar )? does anyone has the same problem? Dear Michael, as I can see how much you are helping poeple here, could also help me if you can? Thank you for any response. Alamir

  • thanks for answering,one more question. many people love to use the touchscreen for camera and music. for me,i'm not so into touchscreen phone but i love this phone for having limited touchscreen. so can i use the manually keypad to go camera,music,gallery using the keypad(the phone slided up) just like normal se phone?

  • Hi! I have some problems with trackId. I run it om my Aino u10i, it records for some seconds then starts the browser and i shows this: TrackID(tm) is a Sony Ericsson and Gracenote service. Due to terms & conditions, we can only allow Sony Ericsson phones. sonyericsson.com. We too think it's a great service :-) Anyone can help me please??? :(

  • hey nadeesh, u can't change these icons...they r permanent.

  • hey girlie...i can't guarantee u that when u buy it u'll find it updated already (most probably u'll find it updated)...but u can simply check it ur self when u r there at the shop..go 2 settings - general - update software - software version - if it's "R7BA084" so it's updated 2 the latest one...& if it's not...update it.

  • i'm not very good at these settings but i have the address is pop3.live.com (i think it differs from operator to another)...try it & if it didn't work..seek help from ur operator or by searching on google or something.

  • don't worry mark, it's nothing...may be it sounds scratchy but it's not scratching anything...just don't press the slider when opening it.

  • hey nobody, u can install opera mini 5 by The easy way which is...type in ur mobile browser: m.opera.com - then it will automatically detect ur mobile model & u just have 2 click the link down to download it on ur phone.

  • hi pz tell me cant we change the touch icons in the screen i mean cant i get the other opctions by touching is it only camera / radio & media only

  • hey michael, i have a question :) if i buy this phone today, is the latest update already installed or i should still install it myself or can i just ask it in the store if they can install it for me? :D thanks!!!

  • Is the Aino slider supposed to sound a little 'scratchy' in the slider opening and closing process? It 'clicks' into place nicely, but it makes a slight 'scratchy' sound as it opens and closes... Please advise... Thanks.

  • how to install opera mini 5 on the Aino?
