  • I experienced differnt btwen SE and Nokia. SE the best and user friendly. Music quality even picture are vry high. In NOkia all 4ns hv some missings such as no flas, pic and video in same folder like that SE's battry life is superb wen comparing Nokia.

  • ya! nokia is beeter,but only for battery.it will never compatate to sony's music and camera and fast opration.

  • To know Sony Ericsson we should use xperia series the smart design, powerful hardware, amazing features and photo and video quality just made the brand unique. So SE is the best from quality & performance. But SE manufactured some less configured mobile to make them more affordable like Xperia x8, W8, and this one (A8i)is just android based java mobile, there is no processor. So this is wrong choice to measure the quality of SE. I just love SE mobiles because they have extraordinary features and stability for long time.....:)

  • Not a very good phone.Nokia phone is very much better than all Sony phones in all respect.... even sony phones are not comprable than Nokia phones... so don't compare thesd two phones.

  • no frnt camera!

  • sony is expensive than nokia?? its not so buddy. if you buy sony all the accessories headset,datacable,microSD....are of top quality each priced around 850rs. whereas in nokia every thing is very cheap.available for a max 500rs in the market.even x6's headset is of low quality....cheap stuff

  • ya ur right man

  • I think sony ericsson is better than nokia...

  • sony Ericsson is really a goog mobile phone. it satisfy the owner and the quality they have in making this mobile phone is great. make more good quality phones for everybody god bless Sony ericsson.

  • display 256k:))=))

  • SE makes good looking but worst phone........

  • sony is the best among the rest....its a smart phone and nice

  • Ru mad mr.dm

  • nice phone

  • Sony Erricson makes some of the most good looking useless phones in the mobile industry.......8-))

  • SE is best

  • A8i so nice phone . I like it very much. I love sonyericsson.

  • Do U want to know y sony have alot problem cuz their company sell it to T-Mobile wtf no sony for my life

  • is this A8i ?

  • Only minus for this mobile is that, it is specially and only for China...

  • There are SE mobiles with same design and OS (Xpheria for example). So please do not complain that this mobile has no OS. I always wanted to have widetouchscreen mobile without OS. So this is definitely my choice. Beside this, it has WI FI and 5 MP camera, E-mail client, GPS, GPRS, WAP so perfect mobile for me. Only difference is that it has no OS. For me it is even advantage than disadvantage.

  • without front cam hw can v use video call.......

  • No OS? What the hell are you talking about?

  • Worst phone. No OS. What wrong with SE. Look at Nokia and Samsung.

  • I uses,I love Sony Ericsson, but they should improve on the life span of their phone battery so that more people would be attracted. And in the nearest future they will dominate the market.

  • There are people that don't need smartphones,but would like to have affordable touch-based mobile phones. What's wrong with Java?

  • i us the phons k750i,k810i,s500,k850,w705,and now my beatiful vivaz pro,i luv sony.....se need to pay money for os like symbian,android etc.but sony has only java.if this problem is solved sony wil be the first.and the price must be redused.

  • i am expecting this coming year that sony ericsson will come up with an eye popping & high end phone that will make samsung, apple & lg to scream & shout!!! i love sony..

  • Sony have really put out some pointless s**T this year. What was the point of releasing this handset. Its just an average quality phone with the average specs for a touch phone nowadays. And no O.S. This phone is basically a sony's version of the samsung jet. A feature phone that is gonna be eaten alive by the big smartphones. It cant compete. At least the jet stacked up pretty well against its competitors. This couldnt hold a candle to the galaxy s

  • how much is this a8i?

  • why is it that GSM arena hasn't updated the product line up of sony ericsson. based on their news, several handsets have been confirmed by the company and yet no update or whatsover.. sigh...

  • its really a nice phone all sony fan love this phone like me,its rock. MAKE IT. I LOVE IT

  • really?

  • its really nice phone compare to nokia n8

  • i m using it and dis phone really sucks !! xD!!

  • it make sense now,Sony killed Ericsson. I loved old Erisccson mobiles,have allways been for my expectation.first series of sony-ericsson were very good like P-series,and after that nothing looks like good quality,not even x-peria made by htc....very sad i lost may favourite brand.will go for htc now...

  • nokia?????? mmmmmmm best 4ns in da world

  • nokia the best

  • Hey kid symbian sucks n Android hands on..

  • y not android....SE always go if 1 step forward then 2 steps back....

  • is itgood for comunicator style

  • y its have only 200mb internal memory n y we cant secondary cam used for take pix

  • Nice

  • 5 mp c'mon everybody knows this advices has a lot of technology ...why so few mp=?

  • It is very look and nice to me.But I can't get in KOLKATA . But also i Could not find this model secondary camera.

  • this is a grteat phone

  • who the hell says symbian is bad Lads get your top stories checked by a doc

  • y 5mp only??? change to 15mp more better.

  • dude..... age old thoughts.... use android once and then talk.... the baby pants has already become jeans.... get ur eyes tested.....

  • which world do u live in....... symbian is a thing of the past......... ohhhh.... maybe now i understand ........ ur stuck with a symbian phone and u can't do anything about it..... maybe thats why such comments....... my sympathies with you mate!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Huh? What you want Infra Red for? You going to be bar code scanning or something? Or controlling TV's etc.. etc.. Or why don't you just forget about it eh? So Sorry My manners escape me sometimes. Such a shame that Sony Ericsson can not create a decent mobile. You know like Nokia an all. So when it all comes down to it. Who's the Daddy? then Yes that's right. Who's the Daddy. So yes all you sony fans, you think your Mobile is better than mine. So who needs Android. SO who needs SE when you have Symbian. When Symbian is The Daddy of all OS's. It's fully feature rich & isn't a wannabe OS. yes that's right Android fans, Iphans. Wannabe OS. When they were in their infancy baby pants- Symbian was smoking pipes & doing things seriously that they were just too young to understand.

  • Android 2.2 or Android 3.0

  • This phone is for china mobile

  • sell mobile phone with a cheap price to let a lot of interest with products sony ericsson

  • this phone is unknown os yet don't just determined it by urself tq ~

  • whn is this phne goin to arrive in india and is this phne having android operating system?

  • I think SE these days, never fail to disappoint their fans and supporter...first X10 with no OS upgrade then this phone with no Android at all...

  • never think of infra red in thig generation..for seeking that option, you could buy an ordinary mobile of worth 1500/-...dont tell such childish options as demerits..

  • It look like X10 for japan.I like A8i..it's good.I like the 5MP camera and the other things.

  • Its screen shoul be 4"inch same as it Xperia X10!camera 5 mp is ok

  • Oh my gosh, it's full of it

  • all are good but for camera (5mb), it isn't so good

  • all are good but infrared is not there

  • Where are the great specs????? The 5MP camera?????? The LED flash? The 14mm thickness???? NOW I want less than 10mm thickness. You will feel the differens. After a 10-11mm thin phone a 14-15mm feels like a brick!!!! HD video???? Battery? no specs on that!!!! SE loves to release phones wiht lousy battery! So, look back and you will see 2 years ago you could almost buy the same phone. OLED is out for long time. 8MP HD camera also. Multi-touch screen with 8-16GB internal memory is out alos for long long time! battery should be 1700mAh by now at least!

  • Great spec.. Hope to have reasonable cost

  • knock knock... Multitouch?

  • Does it support Arabic Language?

  • Hi you is the buy of the phone ??

  • Who told you that Wi-Fi is illegal in China? ... my Mainland China business associates use Wi-Fi all the time!!

  • Up to 5 h (2G) / Up to 7 h 30 min (3G)...As per gsmarena. Is it a Typo or its true? However its unbelivable if its true.............:)

  • Hi Michal, This phone have Wifi (Wlan) Please see before you post.

  • Which os does it run on?

  • Why is it that Sony Ericsson can put put a generous 8Gb of internal memory in their W980 Flip Phone & yet put a measly 200Mb of Internal Memory in their flagship device A8i? If only Sony ericsson came out with a nice multimedia phone with plenty of internal memory, external MicroSD card, good 720P video camera, larger touchscreen capacative & stereo music chipset & loudspeakers with good HD video playback.

  • Its for CHINA ONLY! That's why there is no Wi-Fi, which is illegal in China and the TD-SCDMA.

  • its wondeful but expensive

  • Can i ask u all something hurmm about this phone camera ... it is 5mp or 3.5mp ... other webs that i found says that this phone camera ar 3.5mp ermmm but some of the webs says this phone is 5mp ... could u guys tell me which 1 is the correct answer ???

  • Defaults to lowest speed? B#llocks! i have all N and G they all run full speed!

  • all r gud but the prob is money sir............ what u thing .........

  • Good :)

  • no front camera for video calls what a shame..

  • Wifi is awesome and you can use it anywhere in youre house if you have a wifi addaptor that connects to youre devices. Then you cas whach tv and go on youre computer with youre phone dummy. try to find more out and you will see how nice it actually works.I have it and it is amazing. and it doesnt cost alot to be able to do it...

  • this is a 3rd class phone...

  • Y they rn't announcing it ....and i think it is not tht different from Xperia X10...just about resolution ..I love Sony ericsson ...but they r moving sooo slow....not in the lead. :(

  • why price is not included in the profile

  • Who uses wifi-n because i know no-one thats remotley interested even techies,,did you know that the WHOLE of your house must run on N for it to be of any use because if any other device runs B OR G then your router defaults back to the lowest denominator..Its just a fad cause at moment G supports 545Mb/s ..The only reason i would buy N is to increase range of sig nal which N does or to stream hd round the house but thats really big files etc..S o your comment is invalid.

  • what's the OS of this phone? why aren't they announcing it?

  • they must add call rejection facility, as availabel in samsang. up 10 unwanted phone number can be added to reject list . the calling part will get phone busy tone. which has to be added in sony ericsson

  • sony ericsson is excellent with the models designs interface and camera audio keep goin se u will rock again

  • more pics

  • Its capacitive

  • WIFI should be b/g/n.....SAD: (

  • what sort of touch screen is this,resistive or capacitive?

  • same here

  • the OS is Ophone 2.0 (android's customised by china mobile) source :

  • Im pretty sure its going to be an ANDROID phone

  • Why SONY ERICSSON not launching this phone I n india mkt. Sony ericsson have to launch a maximum no. Of touch phones and qwerty keypad phones in low range with high quality disply.

  • Everything is perfect in this phone except for the all important OS. Hope to see an android or Symbian version on this phone. Then i'll ditch my mobile and buy it.

  • sony ericsson has a class of its own. i myself being a multiphone user, SE by far tops them all in terms of design, quality, & innovation. any fool would say that the phone that they are using right now is the best. no offense to other phone manufacturer whom i appreciate with what they do best like samsung & LG that produces competetive phone yet affordable phones, nokia who was once a trend setter and has released the most number of style & design, motorola that has been my personal favorite (razor series). but i say try to use all the brands available there is and see for yourself why SE is still by far the best in the market.

  • wkwkwkwk You are antiquated man.. dont bring up the past. you can see what happen with SE now? Please check out the brands upper left side of this site then open your eyes and open one by one between samsung,nokia,motorola,LG and SE then compare. You fall asleep

  • Agree.. I believe that 265k color display of sony ericsson can match 16M color of other brands Even better.. So I think does not matter

  • OS?

  • Agree!!

  • Thats ok..eventhough sony is using 256k or 65k they match 16M of other brands..sometimes visually better when it black its really black..downside when d background is light or white..den its downside reveals

  • I don't understand one thing, TFT Screen, 256K Colors, where sony ericsson is going? Its the world of LED displays and 16M colors, seems like they don't wanna survive in the market !

  • I can't wait for it to be realeased.

  • this seems a good mobile.

  • i think why sony ericsson will be naver relased in the world they futer u can see the nokia there will be marketin very good phone and they have more futer and camera pixsel also high but i need sony ericsson but your camra is not high than by nokia

  • Hahaha...don't underestmate any sonyericson, big or smal don't!!! Jst compare sonyericson k530i wit nokia n70 or n72 and u'll knw what im talking about.

  • Sorry for that,, I mean Nokia-X-6

  • sorry for that, its Nokia X-6.

  • Shelton, you love sony ericsson but you mentioned nokia x10. is there such a phone? just asking!

  • Where did you find X10 by Nokia???

  • I think Nokia X-10 is much better than this modal.I dont want Sony Ericsson to go behind all another Mobile companys in the world. Persionaly i love Sony Ericsson.Please introduce minimum one modal with more specifications& on little cheaper rate.You people can do it.

  • extra:)

  • hey sony pls launch the products that will beat all others competitors show the power of ur technology to the world. not just make sch orthodox products give the world something new otherwise nobody can save u not even dedicated se users like us.

  • Samsung,Nokia and LG faaaar ahead. Sony Ericsson drop behind SE SLUMBER

  • Not just 1st launched in china, but this phone will be released for chinese market only, what the use of having 3G T-CDMA technology if you're not leaving in china?

  • to those has a comment on se market, this is a market not a phone show like the other brands that will launch thier products against competitors. ---se has a marketing strategy on how and when to launched its product effectively (solo launching attracts more customers).

  • CHINA MARKET. means that this is made in china under SE license and supervisry. and was 1st launched at china.

  • SE are u going to close ur mobile making? A lot of nokia,htc,samsung phones is going to launch with new technoliges 8mp camera,3 blutooth,hd video recording,better os 2.2 froyo,fast internet,tv out,new graphics What r u doing- Lazy or no idea Shit too bad

  • hi rajeev did u see the se a8i handset if u dont like se phone dont give bad opinion ok, basted

  • :) impressed from your comments another thing for those who did not see whole specs we should see first for which market & for which segment product is made and I think we should not comment if something is not relevant to us sorry for any hurt feelings

  • Dude, no one forced you to stick to SE... neither did SE... If you dislike the design, I'm pretty sure SE has over 200 phone models to choose from. Be positive, keep cool! :)

  • it's looking a good phone

  • sony same design and please 16million color, ? nothing new.

  • Is Sony going Backwards in terms of design and competency?? They don't have one decent phone which can make a chap happy enough to carry around. I have been stuck with Ericsson since 13years and I would be changing my loyalty soon. If only this phone can drop 25grams and cut back length by 15mm, width by 7mm,thickness by 4mm, this is just another box.

  • Good screen size and not too big. SE should think simple and just put plain Froyo in it.

  • Uhhh... What did you say? Was that even English?

  • bad its a waste os dont trust on that os

  • we on 4G already dah!

  • So far so good

  • CHinease stuff.!! guyz nw only samsung is thinking for indians.!! nokia is also trash nwadays who gonna buy symbains bricks..!!in android window nd bada world.!!

  • android missing

  • its for china ppl

  • who uses videocall today, outside usa ?

  • which os? Its not android? Proprietary?

  • Why Sony Ericsson Is not Intrested in Video Calling Feature in all Handsets like X10 This A8i Etc....

  • so expensive but no video call...

  • come on grow up SE this is 2010 and it is era of super amold multitouch and os. which idiot buy ur java phone without any os

  • pls. try to reduce thickness from 14mm to 10mm Max. thanks

  • In reply to meme @...if yu can't afford dont come to this website man!!!simple

  • if thats wat u think thn u shdnt look or these sorta phnes.. u shd jst chek out the easy phnes lmao.. peace..

  • if sony use amoled screen, the battery will be bleeding.. hahaha.. sony will use Sony super LCD

  • This is what the Xperia X8 should have been. Pity it is rumored to only be released for the Chinese market. If so, why the discrimination? Hope its can be under 300 Euro purchase without contract.

  • please where can i buy sonyEricson charger xperia 10i please

  • Sony Ericsson should have an AMOLED LCD screen, Most Samsung models using the AMOLED LCD with a good feedback that is really damn save the battery peformance. One of my friend selling Samsung models with AMOLED LCD screen, their customer feedback said that it can last for 3-4 days. Wow, it's owesome right! Then, the customer bought another one set for his wife. So, i also hope that Sony Ericsson can have some models with an AMOLED LCD screen running with Android OS. It will be popular, if really need it now & go get a Samsung models. ;D

  • Why don't you tell us more about chinese phone's markets, Wong Fei Hung, what's your people want in their phone...

  • TOUCH PHONES ARE SOOO EXPENSIVE! I HARDLY CANT AFFORD! well i guess ill just have to be satisfied with my P1.. new fones today are all thesame, they only differ in names.. whats important about having a mobile phone is that you can make calls and text and communicate.. thats it! cut out the touch screen! WE NEED UPTO DATE AFFORDABLE PHONES THAT CAN FIT OUR BUDGET!

  • i think sony are catering for people on budgets. 5mp sony phones still have good cam qualities :-) peace!

  • Wow... a new blast by sony ericsson gr8!

  • pls come out with android os.. java has very restricted features..

  • okay seriously, is it me or does it look almost exactly like the X10 with worse features.

  • hey @a,,u dont want 256 k ?? then dont comment here ! y dont you look 4 s003,,then buy it??

  • wow, unlike the Samsung, se try to keep its traditions, except the touch screen, it is the old SE DB phone, except their old phones have keys too.

  • Thats a pretty good screen... it does wat it has been made for...

  • still no multi touch?

  • mobile war lets begin now nokia is finished >>>

  • a good phone but unfortunately for china market!

  • another 256k screen???!!! where`s sonys amoled screen phones? they care evrything but screen

  • why are phones still coming out with only 5mpxls,surely its about time more phones featured at least an 8mpxl camera?

  • WOW! another huge one!! u know its a threat for all other brands like nokia. i love u SONY

  • This is the best for you?

  • rats! why do they release the best for the chinese market? Good phone really.

  • It runs OPhone 2.0 (Chinese Android spin-off)

  • it is new look like new mobile

  • Sony Ericson Rockz.....

  • this model is fine ............were is the dual sim phone in sony ericsson........we are looking to tat dual sim phone...........

  • great phone......looking forward.......drabag is price...

  • this could have been great. if not just for china. i hope SE will release a worldwide version /:D

  • I wonder why 'A8i', instead of 'X8i' or simply, 'X9'!

  • im first who leave comment :) , this phone will have good price . i hope that will work better than my XPERIA X2 .

  • This is the best size for a touchscreen phone! The X8 should have an 3.4 inch screen not a small 3...

  • This should of been the x8! I like this to be my second phone. Will this support sim card?

  • :( chinese only

  • This phone is an X10 clone and lower spec for Chinese market. This should be very cheap maybe around US$50 max...

  • nyaaaah,, they should put the zenon flash for it, to compete the brands of nokia,,

  • looking good...am i the first man commenting???

  • congrats dude.. where r u from?

  • It doesn't says it runs on Android...

  • Yeah the phone is only for Chinese maket. It has android 1.6 (no mention of update) For specs it's in beetween the X8 and the X10i. Only for china ... so absolutelly no interest! Sony really release crap phones latelly ... They need to realize that they can escape Android ... I mean windows phone 7 will have a buzz when it will come out but Im sure its gonna die real quick! Symbian is old school Apple and Nokia are blind .... So the best alternative is Android but they have to step up their game!
