It’s been a long time coming, but Sony Ericsson has finally released a handset outside of Japan with a tall display (240x432 pixels) that gives the models based on the traditional user interface a bit more life. In fact, with the larger display, the Ai...
The new ‘Entertainment Unlimited’ range from Sony Ericsson is looking like a very exciting competitor to Nokia’s Nseries range. The Satio may be the flagship, but the Aino is the jewel in the crown. It may not have the same potential for...

Sony Ericsson's latest marketing wheeze is to release a slew of new handsets with seemingly meaningless names. Satio, Yari, Naite and the handset currently under scrutiny, Aino, are models the company has lined up to compete with Apple and Android. The...

for Sony Ericsson Aino Review We know that Sony Ericsson does camera and music phones extremely well, and the Aino is no different. We were disappointed by the movies, though. While those on the phone look great, downloading more is a slow, laborious...
Watching and listening to media is pleasurable, and the bundled Bluetooth headset is a handy addition.
Video streaming is slow and jerky and the PlayNow Arena needs some work to make it a viable option.

Sony Ericsson does have a knack of pulling out a rabbit out of its hat when one is least expecting it. The K750i and the W800i, which were launched way back in 2005, came as a surprise to most of us and that too without any warnings. Both were runaway...
Our verdict? The Aino is a good buy for those who care more about form than functions. At a price close to $450 internationally and in US(approx), it is retailing in India at around Rs. 23,000 and at this price there are a number of better options out...
