The Sony Ericsson Aino is a slider phone that comes with lots of multimedia features. You can see from their design that this something that Sony Ericsson are expecting to sell really well.
Quick Spec – 8 megapixel camera, WiFi and GPS FM radio with RDS (see full specs).
Besides having a bit of a silly name which is one that we find quite difficult to pronounce it does have some nice features. It comes with feature Remote Play support and this has been designed to help you control and access media content on your PS3 from your Aino using the HSPA or Wi-Fi connection. Basically, you can be anywhere in the world and access the media on your PS3.
It comes with an excellent 8.1 megapixel camera with flash, face detection, 16x digital zoom. It has a touch focus feature which will allow you to tap an image in your viewfinder to focus the image correctly. It can record video at 25 frames per second.
As you would expect from Sony Ericsson the music player delivers good quality clear music using stereo speakers and it’s jam-packed with music technology as you would expect from them. There is a slight little problem with the 3.5mm jack because you need to use the one supplied from Sony Ericsson or use an adapter if you have your own.
Another thing that is slightly disappointing is that it only comes with 55 MB of built-in memory considering it is aimed at the multimedia market this is slightly disappointing. However, it does come with an 8GB microSD card for storage of all your music, video, photographs etc.
Overall there are many positive reviews on this phone and it seems that it is a reasonable handset for the price you can check out more details over at O2

We know that Sony Ericsson are slowly moving their operating systems over to Android on some of their higher end phones and this is something that many users are definitely looking forward to or so they say. Something else we are definitely looking forward to is the yet to be announced Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 which was leaked back in July.
The funny thing is that this phone is rumored now become available in January 2010 animals roam the same operating system as the Xperia X2 and use windows mobile OS. It’s kind of interesting this because back in May Sony Ericsson announced that they would be putting more focus on two the Android OS moving forward. Back then their vice president of marketing Peter Ang, talk about the development of Android smart phone and said that they would be putting more resources into the new Android smart phone. So it’s quite interesting that we are starting to see them still using the Microsoft platform on some of their upcoming phones.
The Xperia X3 is set to comes with a fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and possibly an eight megapixel camera. The phone will also comes with WiFi, GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to music.
I’m a big fan of Sony Ericsson mobile phones so it will be nice to see when they finally start moving many of their phones over to the Android operating system.
