Sony Ericsson Aino review

Will PS3 connectivity make this a mid-range media marvel?

Good GPS signal ; Easy to use media interface ; Decent build quality ; Well laid-out interface ; BBC iPlayer included in the box

Laggy operating system ; Poor battery life ; Sporadic PS3 connectivity ; Constantly updating memory card ; High price for a feature phone

A phone that looks great on paper, but a large number of bugs scupper it in actual use

Sony Ericsson U10i Aino

Back at Mobile World Congress 2009 Sony Ericsson introduced us to the concept of Entertainment Unlimited, typified here by the Aino. The phone drops to the Walkman and Cyber-shot branding, but punches hard in both the camera and multimedia sectors,...

Build and hardware design, BBC iPlayer, PS3 link, DNLA certified, dock and MH100 Bluetooth headphone adapter

Operating system looking dated, lacks customisation and app options that rivals offer, battery life, 8MP camera flawed

The Sony Ericsson Aino offers features galore, but fails to wrap them into a package that really wows. There is a lot on offer here, but you feel like you have to work for it at times, finding the best route to get to the content you want. The link to...

Sony Ericsson Aino - First Look

Wouldn't it be good if you could catch up on all the video content on your PS3, even when you aren't there? You've been able to do that for some time on Sony's PSP, but Sony Ericsson has now taken the Remote Play feature found in the PSP and brought it...

Remote Play content from your PS3, easy to use keypad, slim and small, Media Go function lets you easily sync your handset with your PC, 8-megapixel camera

Touchscreen isn't touch all the time, you can't access games via the Remote Play, beyond the Remote Play it's just another Sony Ericsson handset

Sony Ericsson Aino Review

There are features aplenty in the handsome, cool-looking Aino, from strong video playback, an excellent touchscreen and a decent camera to working as a remote control for a PlayStation 3, all crammed into…

Sony Ericsson Aino review

Unfortunately, a top heavy design, the touchscreen's a perplexing limitations and a frustrating implementation of the Remote Play feature make the Sony Ericsson Aino difficult to recommend.

The Sony Ericsson Aino's ability to wirelessly connect a PS3 is a great feature, but the limited touchscreen functions and its top heavy design diminish its wider appeal.

Good audio and visual quality, plus bundled Bluetooth headset

Jerky video streaming, and PlayNow Arena movies service still in foundation stage

Sony Ericsson Aino: Review

The Sony Ericsson Aino handset follows on from the company's flagship handset the Satio , and first impressions are generally positive. The Aino is a reasonable size as it fits nicely in the hand, and with dimensions of 104 x 50 x 15.5mm it doesn't...

Sony Ericsson Aino Review

The Sony Ericsson Aino is definitely suited to people who currently use this form factor of a slide out key board. It's jam packed with features and seems to perform fairly well. As you have probably gathered it's not my cup of tea but like most...

Sony Ericsson Aino U10i

In late 2009, Sony Ericsson top managers made a frank confession: the company missed the boom of touch-sensitive phones as it was expected to occur much later. There was much more wickedness in these words rather than the truth. The company had headed...

The model was planned as a gaming one; in particular, it was supposed to be one of the first devices featuring the PlayStation 3 support and being actively promoted by the game content. What seemed interesting to the company marketologists on the stage...
