Sony Ericsson Aino is a multimedia smartphone which features to be able to access and control media content from the Sony PS3. At just 104 x 50 x 15.5 mm, the 3-inch slider phone slipped easily into our shirt pocket and felt sturdy and solid in our hands. Slide out the phone and an alphanumeric keyboard will reveal itself akin to the Samsung UltraTouch S8300. What is peculiar is that the phone’s dedicated Call and End buttons were crammed between the keypad, which made it somewhat inconvenient when you want to make a call at a snap. The volume control, microUSB and audio jack is located at the sides of the phone. What’s sad is that the camera doesn’t have a lens cover. This means scratching the camera lens is a high possibility but then again, if it were to have a lens cover, the phone would have had to sacrifice its slim build.

The LG GT505 will come with WisePilot navigation preinstalled and quite naturally a built-in GPS receiver. Unfortunately the navigation license will be free only for the first month with a purchase necessary if you are to use it after that point.
