As far as feature phones go, the Aino has pretty much everything - excellent connectivity, full-featured navigation, a great camera, plenty of internal storage and a simple-but-snappy touch media menu.
By the way, don't let anyone tell you touchscreen functionality is limited to the proprietary Sony Ericsson multimedia menu. We were pleasantly surprised with Opera Mini, which seemed to quite agree with the Aino touch system. Touchscreen navigation is all there and it performed very smoothly. This means touch controlled Java games might work as well.
The Aino follows in the footsteps of the C905 and W995 but tries to play its own game. The complete feature list, the PMP skill and styling and the great set of accessories are tempting enough. There are things we didn't like of course. The touch thing is perhaps not the best they could do. And while the standard interface makes up for that most of the time, the limited touch control does an otherwise excellent camera no favor.

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago from an online store in manhattan. I took it to Tmobile and added a flex plan with data. Tmobile does NOT have 3G with this phone like ATT does but that said it works just fine with EDGE. The remote play is fantastic with wifi anyway and the 8.1 camera is great. i highly recommend it. To get the web settings and mms to work with tmobile you just connect to sony ericsson's website and they sync automatically to the phone with Tmobile so you dont have to screw with the settings.
Glad that you liked the device. Thanks for dropping in.
