User experience-Bought for 18k

My experience with this phone has been between average and good ...the touch screen is reallly silky & sensitive and adds to the pleasure of the user while the phone is tough ,from tough i mean by build (i have dropped it once:ashamed:)

The keys are like any other mobile phone with nothing special in character.

The HD 8.1 Mega pixel camera is really awesome and overtakes any other phone in this price range,while the recording is also impressive....

The big size of the phone (lengthwise ) makes it look ilke a GPS system.

The speakers are decent with nothing like’loud’in them

The range of the bluetooth headset is roughly 8 metres..which seems quite decent to me.

yeah it's a shame

but for me i use my phone generally for multimedia purposes like MP,radio and camera which come with touch screen and even for picking up the calls i don't have to slide up that means i generally stay under the influence of the FTS!:)

for other features ..yeah i have to bear it:ashamed:
 
thanks for the kind words^^

The 3g connectivity is better than my ACER ASPIRE ONE netbook and it also has the autoconnect feature so when u are within a recognized safe network ,it connects automatically:)

The maximum speed is decent -7.2MBPS ...and even if having 7.2+ mbps router... i guess u aren't on a 7.2+ mbps connection:)

cheers,

In one word , I wouldn't choose Sony Ericsson Aino just because of 8.1Mpx camera. It has no Android or Symbian platform making it completely useless for custom applications.

Overall nice review M@crosoft but never miss out two important mentionable points when reviewing a phone

1. OS of the phone ( whether Android , Symbian etc )

2. Any Custom Applicaitions compatible with the phone
 
thanks for the suggestions ^^:)

and here is the answer of ur question

A java based platform, internally known as A300.
