but what the use of putting a touch screen and not using it?
It already has the hardware.....it can be a full touch screen phone with keypad!

correct me if Im wrong....
this phone has almost the same features as the c905 except for the playstation control thing which actually is only some extra software....
Ur gona pay 800 bucks more for the program and the semi touch screen which doesn't matter!
unless u can use the touch screen for browsing and GPS,I dont think its worth the price.

Let me present to you solar powered torchlight. In order to power the torchlight, you'll need another torchlight to power it.

Is this relevant in any way?

what this??

What a drag.

What Sony is trying to do is to fill a niche in the market, and this is the phone that does the job. It's to satisfy those who like the idea of having a simple OS while still maintaining its functionality. You do not need a touchscreen to do simple tasks such as switching on your alarm and typing out a SMS. And if you really need the touchscreen for browsing the web, there is the Opera Mini 5 Beta.

I love this phone to bits and have no regrets in paying the price for it. For me it is worth every single bit as I am pretty sick of using a touchscreen without a physical keypad - especially with WinMo as an OS.

Edit: Sorry, just noticed the comments a few pages back. Will try to snap a few shots of the phone, although I'm pretty sure most of the people here have already seen it in SE centres. (:

^^^^^^I agree

yup....that makes sense..
but i think the market for this kind of product is small.. something like the LG cookie last time. The touch screen was very limited. but of course that one was completely useless...what about the GPS?
is it good?

how bout the camera?
is it as good as w995?

oh and the speakers?
does it really have stereo speakers?
how does the speaker output sound?

ya~~ i also wan to know

Put it this way...

Treat this phone as a non-touch screen phone.. a normal SE phone.. standard 'dumb' phone... ok?

The fact that you can touch the screen in some menus... that is a bonus feature..

Tada.. nothing hard to understand at all. =)

I know using Opera on it is easy with the touch screen.

Regarding stereo speaker, the audio source is at the bottom, so I would consider it as a no. Think about it like this, the iPhone has stereo speakers at the bottom, but because they're so damn close to each other, most of the time you can't even tell.

Speaker output sound is decent, nothing much to compare it to, but I have no complains. I just won't use it as my primary source for music. That is what I have my Logitech Z5500 for.

haha why everyone complaining about the non-justifying price issue?
its still a great phone anyways and im sure price will drop pretty fast.

yes the price will definitely drop by january!

The better features compared to C905:
-Better Processor
-Bigger RAM
-Much bigger screen with superb resolution and 16m colours
-Brand new media interface
-Touch enabled media
-7.6mbps HSDPA
-2.0mbps HSUPA
-Walkman 4.0
-Touch focus camera
-VGA 30fps video recording
-Superb audio with Clear Bass technology
-Better GPS receiver
-Charging dock
-Bluetooth handsfree headset
-8gb memory card bundled
-PS3 compatible media sharing
-touch web browsing
The list goes on if we look even closer bro, and I personally won't be attracted if it was a touchscreen phone (which it isn't, so you should probably just look elsewhere) just like so many other touchscreen mobiles out there. And to cap it all off, I remember sellers charging 2k+ for C905 during its release and it has build quality issues while the Aino has more solid construction. So seriously, do you still think Aino has little over C905? Apparently not

before December 31st sure the price remain I just confirmed with them

The GPS for this phone is it free or just A-GPS??

the shape n soft touchs of the phone attracted me- i ady saw it in SE centers, dummy sets la- but real set not yet lo

i think for this price- can get omnia or sum other pda phone...dunno leh

Its A-gps, not GPS itself, wat a dissapointment actually

I am looking forward to get this phone sometime next year. Me running low in funds.
