  The Good: The Sony Ericsson Aino has a beautiful display, an intuitive interface, great multimedia features, Remote Play compatibility, Wi-Fi, GPS with Google Maps and geotagging, and good call quality. We also like that it comes with a desktop charging dock plus a stereo Bluetooth headset.

  The Bad: The Sony Ericsson Aino's touch-screen interface is limited to the media browser, it has no 3.5mm headset jack, and the navigation keys are a little small. Some may find the price tag a little steep.

  The Bottom Line: The Sony Ericsson Aino's luscious display and multimedia offerings make it one of the better unlocked phones we've seen this year.

  Review Summary: Ah! No!

  The Verdict: An awkward mixture of half-baked ideas and poor design, the Aino attempts to be all things to all men but fails to bring together its grand vision into a cohesive whole

  Review Summary: After a rocky start, in the market the Sony Ericsson Aino has looked to offer more than your average phone, being PlayStation compatible and featuring everything we've come to expect from a new phone- good camera, plenty of storage and bits to keep us...

  Review Summary: It's been a long time coming, but Sony Ericsson has finally released a handset outside of Japan with a tall display (240×432 pixels) that gives the models based on the traditional user interface a bit more life. In fact, with the larger display, the...

  The Verdict: 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 expansion or...

  Review Summary: The far from convincing ‘remote play' and touch performance badly let down this otherwise capable multimedia slider

  Review Summary: The Sony Ericcson Aino is an unlocked phone with a superb design and an even better set of features aimed at multimedia fans. Its unlocked status does come at a premium price however, but some may be willing to make the financial sacrifice necessary to...

  The Verdict: You can either use one of the phone's 30 polyphonic ringtones or use MP3s as ringtones as well. If you happen to have over 1,000 contacts, you can fit up to 250 more on the SIM card. Also available for download is a variety of wallpapers and themes to...

  Review Summary: The Aino gives good results for making and receiving calls. With its slide out screen, the mic is very close to the mouth. It's also beside the numberpad which means it's better protected against the wind and exterior noise than if it was on the edge...

  The Verdict: The Aino is on the right track to catching up with the competition, in terms of multimedia at least. A nice interface and features, it promises worthwhile future versions for those who don't want a smartphone. It's a shame that on this model too many...

  Review Summary: It may not be top of the Sony Ericsson range but it is one of the best.

  The Verdict: The Sony Ericsson Aino doesn't have any major headline grabbing features but it certainly makes for a very accomplished slider phone. It's well built, looks elegant, is easy to use, and has a multitude of features including GPS, push email, an...

  Review Summary: Its semi-touch operation feels awkward, but for PS3 owners the Remote Play console integration has definite appeal.

  The Verdict: We entirely see the point of a user interface offering quick access to media features, but surely this could have been coupled with full touchscreen access for all remaining features. Being neither fully touch nor fully non-touch is just irritating....

  Review Summary: Sony Ericsson's Aino is a great looking feature rich handset with a few quirks but a little bit on the pricey side.

  The Verdict: The price tag on the Aino is Rs. 28,950 which may seem a little steep considering SE has the W995 a far superior 8MP camera handset on the market that costs a lot less. The MediaGo and PS3 connectivity is not enough to justify the additional cost even...
