Black is rubberised? I'm picking up my white tomorrow so I'm going to be an immense hypocrite and say rubberised is rubbish! hehe

In all seriousness, I had K800 in black, K850 in black/blue and C905 in black and everytime I wished I had the rarer white or silver versions. Exclusivity is why a lot (before you all come in and say 'Well I buy for design..' or 'I buy for functions..' I didn't say 'all') of us here buy the newest highest tech phones and Aino in white is more exclusive. Period.

If I will buy AINO I would pick White too same reason with Ricky, White is simply sexier than Black IMO.

GPS is the same as every other SE feature phones. ie: Not really good/quick to get a fix.

I don't know if I just had a lemon, but the GPS on my w995 is MUCH better then on my c905. The w995 gets signal quickly and holds it when outdoors, the GPS on the c905 was simply horrible, no matter what firmware

Review up at Tech radar, rated 3/5 and would of been 2.5/5 if they didn't like SE

We liked
We liked the simplicity of the layout and what the phone is trying to do - it's got a fairly solid build, although it feels a little long in the hand.

BBC iPlayer is always a plus, and the easy-to-use touch media interface is nice. We like the included stand and are big fans of the bundled MH100 headset, and the GPS system with a number of location based services is a nice touch.

We disliked

Sadly we disliked a great deal more about the phone, from a laggy OS when multi-tasking to an odd touch/non-touch combination.

Elements like the touchscreen seizing up, the camera taking 15 seconds to move from one picture to another and the fact the PS3 connectivity doesn't work regularly make it hard to love this phone, especially when the battery dies for the umpteenth time.

Verdict

We liked the Aino a lot when we got it out the box, and our opinion dwindled downwards from there. When the main selling point isn't fully functional (ie, the PS3 compatibility isn't up to speed) and both the camera and media player are slow to react, we're struggling to find a reason to recommend this phone.

The Sony Ericsson W995 has the same UI, but is a lot faster, and comes in a nicer chassis, has a faster camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack and crucially is around £120 cheaper to buy.

We would have given the Aino half a star less than we have, but we're still fans of the simplistic Sony Ericsson interface, and the overall package doesn't deserve to be among the worst phones of the year - we're just disappointed with the effort.

today i noticed that two guys are selling the phone here in DR and it looked very strange to me. well, one put up some pics, but the other didn't. the prices are quite cheap for what the phones are. even cheaper than the c905 which is not cheap here.
