build quality on W995i/a tends to be not so good though.
I have to disagree here, my W995i has excellent build quality. The only thing worth complaining about is that the "8.1 megapixel" label at the back of my phone chipped away. Rest of the labels are intact though and the phone remains in excellent working condition after several months of pretty heavy use.

The issues are the same on both of them, and it is mainly concerning the slider.
My friends' W995i is not too bad and "only" have the one corner, but mine is wobbly all over the slider, and it gets pretty annoying after a while. Also, the back cover on mine is not sitting right and is a little squeaky.
When it comes to paint etc mine seems fine, none of the letters have disappeared yet.

I'm sorry but I can't keep quiet after reading this. lol.
W995's build quality is not as good as stated here, IMO. The top part of the phone is kinda shaky especially when opened. And also the letters "Sony Ericsson" (on the front) and "8.1 megapixel" (on the back) can easily come off just like that.
For Aino, well, I don't know anything about it as I haven't seen the real unit.
But my friends told me the slider is a lot more firm and solid.

Why not the c905? Better camera with xenon flash then the Aino and w995, same features, its only downfall next to the w995 is the lack of outside music controls (which might be a deal breaker for many people, like lack of xenon flash is for me) otherwise it is rock solid. The Aino has VGA recording, that is really the main thing it has going for it for me, but is lacking a lens cover and xenon, but the w995 also lacks those. If you don't give a crap about photos I would get the Aino over the w995 since it takes better video and has the larger screen.

Go with W995 and you will love it. If you go with Aino the touch implementation to handle calls and it's laggy interface might bother you. But if you first try out Aino and then try to go back to W995, it will be hard to like W995 because Aino:
- has great big screen with sleeker form factor than W995
- better email client which supports HTML
- great browser
- most of all it supports 16M colors colors unlike other SE featured phones that support only 256K colors. This means you can view all images when you browse sites from NetFront browser which I happened to like as much as Opera Mini on Aino.

I bet you that in 3 months those things will be flawless due to FW updates, I have always had to deal with bugs in SE phones at first, it comes with the territory.

If that happens, I might get back Aino for my wife. She really loved it but I told her to wait until the next version of this phone.

Kits, in 3 months they will have announced the "next" great SE phone and you'll wait for that one.

I'm heavily into podcasts & surfing and stuff (music for one) and being able to have the w995 on the breakfast table upright with stand, navigating web pages with one hand (coffee mug in the other) while listening to an Engadget podcast in clear stereo is something that makes my morning truly enjoyable. I guess the w995 appeals more to people who are really into the audio experience. Those buttons are a really big deal ,at least to me, btw
