Yay, I've just discovered a nice feature in Aino.
This was also possible in K700, but they removed the option in later models, until now it seems.

You can send a jar via mms.

That's great. That means you can send games and apps to friends via mms. Yea, I know, not usable for a whole lot of people, but for me it's great!

Well you need to have the jar in the Other folder or something. You can't send installed games (luckily, because that would make it too easy for pirates to copy games).
But if you download jar files from e.g. Getjar, copy them to your Other folder, then you can send them in MMS.
Mark the jar file in the file-explorer, and select to send as message.

In other SE models the "Send as message" option can't be selected, which I think is silly. I've missed this feature since my K700. Glad to see it's finally back.

Attempting to connect manually results in "Out of Range. Try Again" warning on phone. C905 was connecting fine to the same network. Strange!

Some thoughts about the Aino.

I bought it a week ago to replace my C905. i love the C905 but after it's 3rd earpiece failure I'd had enough! The first 2 were fixed under warranty, but this time around the warranty had ended and I thought "That's it, I'm over this!" I was waiting for the X10 to release, but it's still a few months away, so I needed to bridge the gap. After some research the Aino looked closest to what I wanted.

My impressions after a week:

I love the touch media interface. Works quite well and impresses those who've seen it. The smooth front of the phone and the large screen is a welcome change. I also like how compact and light the phone feels after using the C905.

The bluetooth range simply blows the C905 away. The bundled MH100 stereo bluetooth headset works very well and has great voice pickup in noisy environments. The Aino also works very well with my Altec Lansing Backbeat stereo bluetooth headset.

Battery life is awesome! I used to charge the C905 every night and even had a spare battery and car charger because after 7 hours of playing MP3's it would have used half the battery. The Aino has only used a quarter of the battery in the same time!

The loudspeaker works very well for listening to audio without using headphones, and the media player is a great improvement over the C905.

My only reservation is the camera. It simply doesn't seem as good as the C905. I'm running the newest firmware, but the photos lack sharpness. Almost like they were taken in a fog! The shutter button is hard to depress fully and I find it much easier to use the touch screen for capture. It's quite a neat feature being able to focus on a point on the screen and have the photo then automatically taken. VGA video size is welcome after the QVGA of the C905, but again there lacks the sharpness I'd come to love! And the sensor suffers from a strange effect of being over sensitive to vibration. Strong wind will make a video look decidly bad. The same thing occurs with the slightest of movement when taking a photo.

So, the Aino seems to be an upgrade in most areas over the C905, with the exception of the camera's performance. Perhaps future firmware updates will help. It's great that they included a torch function, but I'm disappointed they removed the Walkmate application! Bugger!

Yep, cam is the bad part of Aino. In SE's naming history Aino would be 1
Check the Aino FW overview for updates. We all hope they come. To make it an even better phone.

The camera can be way better thanks to modded Cam drivers and A2uploader, but till now The Laser (A2uploader creator) is not seriously working on a version for Aino because apparently Aino users are not very numerous

I don't even know where to look to change A2uploader so it supports Aino.

I've bought Aino two days ago, but I can't connect via Wi-Fi. When I turn it on it starts to search for network, and it finds nothing just displays search message. I used another phone (Samsung Jet) at the same time to see if there are any networks in vicinity and it finds several.

So... Any advice on this?
Repair service, replacement or that is common problem with Aino.

Thanks.
