Sony Ericsson Aino Black

Sony Ericsson Aino Black Review

The Sony Ericsson Aino Black is an innovative phone that brings PS3 connectivity to the mobile handset. Although the Aino has a variety of features, its main focus is its PS3 connectivity. Aside from these new PS3 capabilities, this phone from Sony is much like the Sony Ericsson W995.

Some of the features of the Sony Ericsson Aino Black include BBC iPlayer support, as well as the 8 GB memory card. Even though the Aino has many of the same features as the W995, its outside design is very different. The Sony Aino is a little longer, plus you get a 3-inch touch screen, in addition to a slide out physical keyboard.

Most Sony Ericsson mobile phones provide easy access to your phonebook so that placing calls is quick and simple, as is the case with the Sony Ericsson Aino Black. You can easily reach your contacts to make calling almost effortless. The call quality on this phone is about average for mobile phones, not superior but certainly not the worst available.

Communicating through text messages and email is also easy with the Sony Ericsson Aino Black. The only problem with these features is that incoming messages appears to slow down the operating system a little. The Internet features of this mobile are great, you get a full HTML browser, and with a larger than average screen its almost like surfing the Internet from your home computer. Your connection options include 3G, and WiFi.

With so many superior features included with the Sony Aino it’s not too surprising that they would add a great camera to this phone as well. You will get an 8.1-megapixel camera that includes auto focus and LED flash.  The Aino’s camera has several photography functions that make taking pictures fun and easy. Additionally, you can also record video with the Sony Ericsson Aino Black. The video recorder is very good for a mobile phone; you can record in VGA and at 30fps.

With this handset you can take your music with you wherever you go; it includes a high quality music player, plus you can also watch video as well. Some additional features that come with this phone include GPS navigation, a built in FM radio, as well as the ability to play games. To download games to your phone all you have to do is visit the PlayNow Arena; this is a storefront where you can buy games and download them directly to your mobile.

This is a solidly built phone that offers a variety of high tech features, but there does seem to be some lag with the operating system at times. Aside from this, the Sony Ericsson Aino Black is a great mid range phone that will be sure to please those who like a lot of multimedia options with their mobiles. Although this phone is reasonably priced, you could probably get it for a lot less if you can find some Sony Ericsson Aino Black deals.
