Originally was reviewed that u can onry use it for multimedia functions and the rest is not touchscreen capable.
But somehow from taiwan review, it can fully function with touchscreen for surfing net when install some application.
But to be precise , i have no idea y SE wants to make something like that.
A non smartphone with semi touchscreen .
It seems to defeat the purpose of having a phone that requires button just to function the touchscreen.
The phone's design have truly improve. But the features still remains clueless to consumers.
It's like Solar powered torchlight which requires the help of another torchlight/ Sunlight to power it but yet render useless in a place without light.

I've downloaded Opera Mini 5 (Beta) into my Aino and the touchscreen worked fine.

Dont mind sharing how much did u paid for it???? Ebay can trust mah???

Got it for AUD$600. Warranty isn't much of a problem to me as I change phones occasionally. (:

the dummy phone is on display @ sunway pyramid SE centre already.
the guy say the phone will be RM2k + and it will be out next month. dunno true onot.

So anyone going there this Thursday??

2499 for Satio and hopefully it launched before 12 Nov....hehehehe

my source also said Satio price is unexpectedly cheap

yup, around RM2499 range.

haha FayeChan, nothing comes free in this world.

you sacrificed your time, but you get some rebates (but no guarantee coz i'm sure alot of SE fanatics will camp there overnite)

so whos gona camp?
I might go..

so no one gonna camp? i really hope the price drops quicker

Look-lah, it'll be cold, windy, not to mention dangerous in camping out at the venue. You could be assaulted by drunks, foreigners, beggars, etc but yeah whatever rocks the boat of those willing to brave the elements.

Such a similar situation happened for the X1 launch and to an extent, the launch of the PS3 at One Utama (whereby I think it is a much more safer venue! XD).

I'd rather wait for my employee bonus next year and purchase the phone once it is down to a certain price level acceptable to me. So good luck to those choosing to camp out there.

You sure you're not saying this to eliminate your competition? 

lol someone selling AP set for RM1650 : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1204587

in lowyat plaza the prices are unreasonably high. 1 shop selling for RM2150 original set. madness. even higher then the RRP -.-
