That looks really good. A2 has come a long way and I hope I have mine by next week. The white version looks so nice.

So if Opera mini 5 touch works good on Aino, it seems that people will make some use of the touchscreen except for the built in apps after all...
This
phone reminds me of my friend's LG Secret... LIMITED TOUCHSCREEN functions...
shouldn't had done that... It would be great to see the first A2 (non smartphone)
running with touchscreen...
But after all.... It's good as it is..

As I see from the pictures, SE were able to add 3.2 or 3.1 inch screen in that body. There is big black border around the screen, why
hadn't implented bigger screen? Something like this one:
It would be better for watching movies and for the touchscreen menus. Don't you think?

Eh 3 is enough really. Screens always have big black borders around them. If they made it any larger the phone would be hard as hell to use.

@Guys, your definition for DSP is one sided, DSP has two different meanings.
DSP -
Digital Signal Processing
DSP - Digital Sound Processor - Audio Acceleration Chipset for Decoding and Encoding audio
and Mind you guys, all phones have inbuilt Sound Processors inside their System Platform. and to achieve
better audio quality a dedicated Hardware and Software Sound Engine is used. the two should never be separated if we want true quality audio, but manufacturers tend to separate these two. we haven't seen a phone with both software and hardware sound engine installed. music phones like N81, N91, N97 have dedicated chip for audio processing but the bad thing is that it doesn't have a parallel audio software engine to maximize the utilization of the hardware to produce much better audio quality than it currently has. and here comes some walkman phones coming with clear audio technology which is simply a software engine but the need for a hardware acceleration is compromised. It is similar to having a powerful graphics chip but without proper driver engine to run it at maximum performance.

Interesting. So both hardware and software engines are required for the best results.

Exactly, this is why iPods never beat sony walkmans in sound quality. sony walkmans have s-master DSP (Processor and Amplifier in one) chips and clear audio sound engine.

@razec
afaik not all the Sony
's have the S-Master digital amps on board. I know the current x series do.
It's the chip Sony uses. They stick with the same (or same brand) with most of its products and it pays off!

Aino or Satio, can't decide. Satio is a bit too expensive for my tastes, but if i can find it cheap.
So which would you go for?
I'm looking at the two handsets myself right now. The price will fall on the Satio once it's officially released. I'm actually a fan of S60, so the Satio has my interest.
I'm going to read the reviews on the Satio and Aino and then wait for the "early adopter" pricing to drop before I bite the bullet.

How annoying, the phone is capable of using touchscreen yet SE have chosen not to implement it into the menus, 3rd party software is likley to be touch enabled as well. I wouldn't of minded if they just added touch and not changed the ui, it still would be usefull than no touch at all.
That is exactly one of the reasons the Aino is so appealing to me. I really like the UI where buttons is required, and I've never liked touch-screen much. I fear that implementing touch in the menus would only slow everything down.
It does however surprise me a bit that they seem to support touch in JavaME applications. I think that should be considered a bonus actually. Then the Aino will be able to run both touch-applications and games/applications that requires buttons. I don't think many phones can do that.
The only problem with the Aino is: It's not here yet!!!
I don't suppose anyone knows when it'll arrive in Denmark? The shops don't know anything. I'm close to buying one from ebay.co.uk.
