The Aino is acutely a buzz that Sony Ericsson expects to do well. They've put a lot of agitation into the architecture of the phone, and alike added accomplishment into the advertising. So why accord it such a brainless name? We accept agitation adage the name of this buzz after sniggering. But that apparently aloof reflects the akin of ability in our office.
The Aino combines a touchscreen user interface with a slide-out alphanumeric keypad - rather like the Samsung Tocco Ultra. Cleverly, the aeronautics buttons accept been placed on the lower slide, which agency that there's amplitude for a big 3 inch touchscreen on the top bisected of the phone. It does accomplish the buzz rather continued back extended, but that adds to the glassy looks. And it absolutely does attending good. The Aino is tactile, with a beefy feel and a admirable bland finish, and looks every bit the high-end buzz that it is. However, the keypad is not the best acknowledging and is bluntly the affectionate of keypad that you'd acquisition on a account phone. It's a "couldn't be bothered" keypad that is actual abundant at allowance with the aerial affection attending and feel of the blow of the phone.
The Aino uses a aggregate of a accepted alphanumeric keypad and a touchscreen. This is a acceptable architecture form, but in this case the keypad does let it bottomward somewhat. But the touchscreen is good. It's a nice ablaze affectation with 16 actor colours and a beyond than boilerplate resolution of 432 x 240 pixels, due to its diffuse aspect ratio. At 3 inches across, this is a acceptable admeasurement awning for a bunched phone. The touchscreen user interface is bound in functionality, with some functionality accessible alone through the keypad, but what it does, it does well.
The Aino is the aboriginal buzz to affection Alien Play support. This lets you ascendancy and admission media agreeable on your PS3 from your Aino application the HSPA or Wi-Fi connection. So, from anywhere in the apple you can now about-face your PS3 on and off and ascendancy and admission the HD Drive?s media content.
Camera-wise, the Aino is able with an accomplished 8.1 megapixel camera with flash, 16x agenda zoom and face detection. We adulation the blow focus affection that lets you tap the angel in the viewfinder to focus the image. It works able-bodied and takes abundant pictures. The camera can additionally be acclimated for recording video at VGA resolution and 25 frames per second. Although the Aino is configured for authoritative video calls, the camera is rear mounted, so your addition can see you, or you can see your caller, but not both at the aforementioned time! Duh!
Music-wise, afresh the Aino delivers the appurtenances appealing well. It's arranged with every technology that Sony can bandy at it: stereo speakers, Clear Bass, Clear Stereo and MegaBass. But the abridgement of a 3.5mm jack in the accessory is a shame. You'll accept to use the angle supplied by Sony instead of your own, or use an adapter. Apart from that, the music amateur is excellent, with abounding touchscreen controls and accomplished complete quality.
As you'd apprehend from a avant-garde aerial end phone, you can do a lot added media actuality than aloof booty pictures and accept to music. Easy admission to Facebook and YouTube is included, as able-bodied as a congenital web browser that can download at aerial speeds application the 3G HSPA arrangement connection. The Aino additionally supports DNLA, which lets you allotment media amid DNLA certified accessories in your home, e.g. you can appearance video files stored on your Aino on your DNLA-compatible TV. The Aino is additionally able with assisted GPS and Google Maps. You can use the GPS to geo-tag your photos too.
When you shop for an Aino, you don't aloof get a phone. The box contains a distinctively advised charging angle and a Bluetooth wireless headset. Back the Aino is amid into the charging stand, the congenital Media Homecomputer application automatically pulls fresh agreeable from your PC via WiFi. The agreeable is organised on your PC application the Media Go software, which automatically formats all agreeable on the computer to be accordant with the Aino.
With all of this multimedia functionality available, the congenital anamnesis of 55MB is pitifully small. However, the Aino does appear with an 8GB microSD card, so we're not too anxious by that. Battery activity is average.
We like the Aino, but it's not perfect. Gripes accommodate the keypad, the abridgement of a 3.5mm audio jack, and the accepted activity of the buzz actuality overpriced. Attractive at the positives, you get a abundant attractive buzz with able multimedia features, alien Play abutment for your PS3, and affluence of added accessories for your money.
