Reviewer: Vitor Gatti - UK
Date: 24th Oct 2009

This phone is awesome. Can do almost everything (great 8MP camera, plays music, a lot of videos formats, java games using touch screen, WiFi, 3G, GPS, etc).

Only bad thing is that the UI is a little bit laggy & the camera is not a Cybershot, but the quality & its features are very good. 8MP is awesome.

Its default browser uses Google to turn any site into mobile mode, so it good to access any site. Also, you can install Opera Mini (version 5 beta is out & uses Aino's touch screen to type).

Very nice phone. Buy it now! :).

I have to say this phone looks very nice. I am looking for one right now as I am due an upgrade but after coming across this I may wait a bit!

Only question, as the touch screen only partially works does this mean it still works with web browsing? i.e. can you click through links & move around the page like on the iPhone? That would actually be a deal breaker for me.

You might like to know this phone is not fully touch screen. It uses the touch screen while in the multimedia menu but that is it. I find it a waste as it is such a great phone.

I haven't actually got this mobile yet but 3 months ago I saw the Sony Ericsson Satio (idou), & I said to myself that would be the only mobile I would upgrade to from my current C902 but now that I've that seen this mobile I am beginning to change my mind. Sure Satio comes with 12MP but this phone has got the looks & from what I've read it's also more about the entertainment, just like the Satio but better the only under liner is the 8MP camera but apart from that I am seriously cannot wait to get this mobile in October or November. On O2 hopefully.
