Does Sony Ericsson's Aino Try Too Hard to Do Everything?
Sony Ericsson is a long-lasting mobile phone producer. For a long time, their 
mobile phone design was somehow dull. Feedback received from their customers changed the idea of how a mobile phone should look from the developers' point of view starting with the Aino model.
You can see some of the repetitiveness in Aino's design still. The first part above the screen (where "Sony Ericsson" is written) is so much similar to other Sony Ericsson mobile phones like K750i, K800i, K810i, with minor modifications.
It's ok to keep the feeling of a series, but isn't it boring after 5 models?
Aino would have probably looked better if the upper part would have been rounded just to stand up from the crowd. But, if you look closer, they look mainly the same! The receiver bar could have been vertical instead of horizontal like the others...
Aino has a 3-in. touchscreen that has an overwhelming 8-megapixel photo-video camera and Wi-Fi. Although Aino features the 8-megapixel camera, the photos taken are not impressive as we wished.
Unfortunately, Aino’s touchscreen has limited utility because it can only be used when the phone is closed. Also, you cannot even access the Web browser using the touchscreen.
The coolest thing on Aino is its ability to be connected to a PlayStation 3, but the process of making the setup needed is very tough. Once you finish setting things up, you’ll be amazed by the results. Unfortunately, you can't say that you can get the best of Aino's PS3 Remote Play features as it mainly works on multimedia playback for now.
For instance, you can't play PS1 games on Aino like you do it on a PSP. You can use it to browse the PlayStation Store and chat on PSN. It is a first step, though. You can also take advantage of functions like GPS, LED flash, HSDPA, Google Maps and Bluetooth.
