There is no walkmate app in Aino. I checked it on SE website and it seems Aino is not supported by walkmate.
Camera has Face detection, Auto, Macro, Infinite. Picture Size are 8MP (4:3), 7MP (3:2), 6MP (16:9), 3Mp (4:3), Full HD (16:9)..Pls mind this is the size of the picture, don't get confused in the Full HD thing. Its just the size. Theres no best pic in camera. But there is touch focus, in which you can touch the screen to take a pic or focus on a particular area to take the pic. There is Photo fix as well.
Google maps is available in the phone, it works very quick but its just an approximate.
My Aino came bundled with the following apps.
AccuWeather
Bluetooth Robot (No idea what it is for)
Facebook
Music Quiz
Photo Mate
Twitter
Wisepilot (30 day navigation)(I have not tried it yet)
Youtube

The so called "creaking sound" (I wouldn't consider) IS "not from the battery cover". It's from the keyboard. And once again its not a creaking sound (For me). Its just the keypad base which rests on a thin sheet as I said earlier. Its like a crispy sound but not annoying.
There is SIP too in Aino. Which mean you can make Voip calls from your phone.
Till now I have not experienced any sort of problem in my touch screen. I even tried swapping and tapping the screen very fast and not problems at all. Response was very quick and smooth.
0 freezes
0 Restarts
0 call drops
0 voice call distortion
0 video call disturbance
it's a really nice phone. after i bought it, my friends are talking bout it. u must buy this phone!!!
iam searching for telephone and i donot have money please help me i ask all the world to help me:P
-copy and pasted-
( i was in love with this se-Aino and was really disappointed when i have decided to say "yes, i want this phone" and saw this news all over the internet)
A spokesman for the world fourth largest manufacturer of mobile phones, admitted that “a number of users of the new smartphone Sony Ericsson Aino had experienced problems using the touch screen.” Obviously we’re working as fast as possible to resolve (the problem), “Sony Ericsson Mattias Holm said the spokesman.
He also assured that “Aino sold in limited quantities in the UK, so this problem only affects a very small number of customers.”
Earlier this week, Carphone Warehouse, Europe’s biggest seller of mobile phones, temporarily withdrew the smartphone from Sony Ericsson Satio also due to a software problem.
Holm said the software problems had affected only a small number of customers in Britain and had not damaged the Sony Ericsson brand.
“At the moment we see no harm or damage caused,” said Holm. “It’s an issue that affects only contained a small number of consumers.”

I have given my opinion already. But further more about the design. I am a person who sees every detail in phone whether it be a creaking sound, loose battery or misaligned body. Aino has no such disabilities its a healthy phone :-).
Secondly you said that SE needs special treatment and care, I don't think so. I have used SE phone and they are very durable and long lasting. Non of my SE phones had any sort of even paint peeling (unless a person has acid sweating hands...just joking). I had K810i no problem, W880i no problem, C902 no problem (which a such a beautiful looking phone), K310 no problem etc. But yes Nokia phones are more strong (than SE) even if it falls away from your hands on what ever type of surface. But who's gonna throw their phone anyway?
Lastly a comment was put up for the Creaking Keypad of Aino. I get that sound too and it is "not a creaking keypad" by any means. I have a Nokia N95 and can give an example of creaking sound from it and the slider touching the keypad while closing (N95). Aino keypads are very sturdy and well fit. I can enlighten what that sound is about. Every pad is stuck/placed on a flexible sheet (I don;t exactly know what that sheet is called) but its something like a soft papery plastic, and the sound it makes is that from the keypad base sheet and nothing else. I get this same sound from my other phone in Nokia E66, the keys which are on the slider near by the D-pad area. They make that sound too. It's to give a soft touch feel to the keypad instead of the tic-tic sound. I agree the keypad in quite narrow but I got used to it soon as don't have hefty fingers also the palm needs some adjustments when using the phone in open slide mode. Lack of front facing camera is the only drop away but Aino can make video calls.
Sony Ericsson bites more than she can chew all of these features are too much for the conventional software, even their older phones had issues , i am not surprised that this one has as well
hi,aino or gc900 or i8910?
