Sony Ericsson Aino

Sony Ericsson are on the move recently and the Aino is very much part of the agenda. But living in the shadow of the Satio and X10 is not much fun we guess. So, the Sony Ericsson Aino is keen to live a double life. At first glance, it's a touchscreen PMP, but on a second look it's a regular slider phone with an extra big screen. It's not the ultimate PlayStation phone but it does have Remote Play, to wirelessly pair with Sony's PlayStation 3.

As far as feature phones go, the Aino has pretty much everything - excellent connectivity, full-featured navigation, a great camera, plenty of internal storage and a simple-but-snappy touch media menu.

By the way, don't let anyone tell you touchscreen functionality is limited to the proprietary Sony Ericsson multimedia menu. We were pleasantly surprised with Opera Mini, which seemed to quite agree with the Aino touch system. Touchscreen navigation is all there and it performed very smoothly. This means touch controlled Java games might work as well.

All right, this was just a single little secret revealed. Let's take a closer look at what else the Aino may be hiding there.

Key features

• 3" 16M-color capacitive touchscreen, 240 x 432 pixels
• Quad-band GSM support
• Tri-band 3G with 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 2Mbps HSUPA
• 8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash; geotagging, touch-focus, face detection, image stabilization; VGA video recording @ 30fps
• Some degree of touchscreen functionality - touch-enabled media and camera interface
• Touch works in Java apps as well, e.g. Opera Mini
• Built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS; Trial version of Wisepilot navigation software
• Wi-Fi with DLNA
• FM radio with RDS
• Stereo Bluetooth 2.1
• microSD card slot
• Wireless Bluetooth headset with 3.5 mm audio jack and nice headphones, desktop docking station and 8GB microSD card in box
• Remote play for Playstation 3

Main disadvantages

• No standard USB port
• No 3.5mm audio jack (but there's one on the Bluetooth headset)
• Touch control is limited to camera, gallery, multimedia players and some Java apps
• Media library updates very slowly in the touch media menu
• No DivX/XviD support
• No xenon flash
• No camera lens cover

The box contents are a sweat deal too - the matching desk stand and wireless headset would fetch a pretty high price as a separate purchase, but with Aino they are part of the experience. And the 8GB microSD card in the box should be enough for most people.

Uncomfortable questions start to emerge though - the Remote Play feature doesn't really do much more than DLNA and is useless with anything but PlayStation3. The touch functionality sounds great but not having it in the built-in browser sucks.

But asking these questions is missing the point. If you owned the original PlayStation, then upgraded to PlayStation 2 and have the 3rd version sitting next to your BRAVIA set, well this love letter in the shape of Sony Ericsson Aino is addressed to you.

Samsung Corby S3653

Samsung Corby S3653

After the huge success of Samsung Star & Star 3G Samsung India has launched another feature rich full touchscreen handset - The Corby S3653. It is an incredibly compact and likeable device which features a 2.8" QVGA capacitive touchscreen. The deisgn of Samsung Corby S3650 is very youthful and cheerful from the flashy-colored back panel to the sleek and smart looking front. Moreover, the rear panel can be easily replaced if you feel tired of the current color and the manufacturer has promised the phone will come with two extra panels, so you can personalize the color to suit your mood. This focus on cutting-edge design extends to the user interface through a Cartoon User Interface, a highly stylised graphical menu and wallpaper that adapts according to handset functionality

Aside from send and end keys, there is an interestingly shaped button located below the screen that gets you one step back into the menus. Unlike the high-end Samsung handsets, the Corby doesn’t have a multitasking menu. Moreover, it comes without 3.5mm jack and microUSB, so you charge the phone using the manufacturer´s proprietary port. A lot of communication options are available in Samsung. You can update your current status and access friends updates and live feeds via Facebook, MySpace and Twitter through a simple Pop-up SNS (Social Networking Service) notification feature. The handset also supports various community sites by integrating leading user-generated content sites such as YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket and other popular SNS sites directly into the handsets user interface. You can also upload photos and videos to these sites through this Communities solution.

Samsung Corby incorporates Samsung's new Touchwiz User Interface and haptic feedback system making touch screen operations simple and easy to use. You can further customise the handset and interface with useful applications and widgets that move with drag-and-drop ease. Corby also supports one finger zoom and smart unlock. These are Samsung's own unique technologies that are incorporated in most of the company's premium full touch devices such as the Samsung Jet. One finger zoom enables consumers to zoom in and out with one finger while Smart unlock is a feature which enables users to unlock the phone and use the menu by drawing a letter on the screen.

Main Features Of Samsung Corby S3653

- 2.8" capacitive TFT touchscreen of QVGA resolution
- 90 MB internal memory, microSD card slot (up to 8GB)
- 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera with smile detection, QVGA@15fps video recording
- FM radio with RDS
- Find Music recognition service
- TouchWiz and Cartoon UI
- Social networking integration with direct file uploads
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB v.2.0
- Office document viewer
- Smart unlock

But there are some major drawbacks in Corby like it has no accelerometer, no on-screen QWERTY keyboard and the shiny screen reflects in the sunlight which makes almost impossible to read text. Also camera has got no flash and autofocus. But overall Samsung Corby has a satisfying performance, its widget-ready user interface functions well and camera interface is easy to use and is quite user friendly. It uses a NetFront web browser which runs fast enough on it. It seems like Samsung India has another winner in its hands. Samsung Corby is priced at Rs. 9600/- which is very affordable and value for money deal in comparison to features it offers. It is expected that Corby is going to be a hit among students and young buyers who prefer a cool looking touch screen mobile phone.
