does the controls on the BT headset work on videos? Meaning, can you play/pause a video by using the headset alone?

a review on the Aino from an 8 month owner passing by all the questions have been asked 2 me...

i bought the full gadget Aino...the one with the BT headset & stand charger plus 8GB micro SD MC.(now there's been an Aino classic with 2 GB MC & without the headset & the stand charger but all the same phone)
i'll start with the software...it runs on Java..the well known SE smart OS...that's a huge benefit cuz it's very very smart among the handling ur contacts, ur messages, the file manager, the BT connection,music arrangement with the album arts ,the 3G internet connection even the USB connection etc...all of this has been upgraded in this phone rather than the other older SE phones with more options to facilitate many many things for u as SE has merged the smart options of the K-series with the specs of the W-series which make it a unique SE phone...that beside it's fast, & esp. in the Aino the touch screen is very responsive & smooth & in the 8 months i remember it hangs only twice at first yes only twice...
on the other hand when u put ur hands on a Symbian(i put ma hands on these phones) phone like for example the the nokia, some samsung phones & the satio & the vivaz...u'll know the difference..it hangs really a lot...very slow...the screen isn't smooth at all..plus it's not smart at all.

the Aino's shape: the phone is really slim with a smart art to make it with this size & with these specifications...when u compare it wid other phones with the same specifications...u'll know wut i'm talkin about...the white color of it is very stylish...the black is very elegant..a piece of art

the touch screen: some say it's limited...i say it's not...may be u can't dial or send a sms with it but when u can take photos, go through all ur media, answer-mute-open loud speaker-cancel the calls, with the opera mini 5 surf the net with only the touch-screen & a QWERTY keys on the screen & that all plus the applications which is compatible with the Aino..most of them work by touch...like nimbuzz, ebuddy, UEFA app 2 follow the championship matches & many other..4 me that's more than enough.

the battery life: many ppl talk about it...i'll tell u my experience with it....one day there's only in the battery 20% & i had a travel for 150KM that is one & half hours ....i connected it with the BT headset which i connect it to my car by the 3.5mm in it listening to my music all the way...plus i made a couple of calls & it stayed with me all the way till i got home. is that a bad battery?? 4 me it's a powerful one...in general it can stay for more than 1 day with minimal use & with maximal use (calls - wifi - bt connection- play some music)it can stay for 1 day(13-15 hours)..it has been improved a lot with 2 updates released by SE.
the output sound quality: when u connect the Aino 2 SE PC suite...it'll read it as Walkman phone...so the quality is unquestionable i guess...it's really amazing with many equalizers 2 choose between & Clear- bass™, Clear stereo™ , Sense ME™ & Mega Bass™.

the BT headset & the Stand charger: the BT headset is a whole new experience for music lovers..this set is amazing...wut can be better than enjoyin ur music wireless & u don't have to keep it beside u or holding it with an astonishing sound quality...plus it got a 3,5mm which means u can connect it 2 a stereo & play ur music..connect it 2 ur car stereo..connect large headphones...all of this wireless.
abt it's battery...i connect it every day i go out with ma car...i play music all my way..for hours...& it stays for DAYS..3-4days & maybe more in cold weather cuz the hot weather weaken the battery...i'm in love with this set.

the stand charger is also a cool accessory..u plug the charger 2 it & u can also connect the usb 2 ur pc in same time plus u can connect it by wifi...& watchin movies when its plugged in it is very amusing.

the 8.1MP HD cam: it's not a cyber-shot but it still a SE cam with almost all the specs of the cyber-shot...outstanding shots at day light more than dim light or darkness cuz of the LED flash but still will satisfy u. video recording (nHD) is amazin with very smooth playback.

internet connection: HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, DLNA...really fast with good coverage. that plus its satellite connection for the location service Google maps - tracker - navigation)was a surprise for me 2 find it that fast.
the remote play (for PS3): u can stay connected connected with ur PS3 xmb menu wherever u go using wifi or 3G connection & enjoy all the media u save on it..really amusin & it's like u have a 60 or 80 Gb phone

the applications: Facebook..Twitter.. you-tube...Accuweather. all of these apps will make u stay connected & updated all the time..as of course u can download many other compatible apps.

i used before many nokia phones, plus the K750i, K810i & many other phones i put ma hands on through my friends the Aino now...it's the best phone i had put ma hands on..best for Entertainment..for Business...for communication...very recommended. for those who bought it ...enjoy...for those who didn't ..u r missing a lot

Hi Guys!!!

Just got this W995 phone yesterday from a dealer, i should say this phone is awesome in terms of everthing. Earlier i couldn't make out between Aino and W995, as Aino got 16k colour resolution, BT headset. But a real Aino User was complaining to that dealer stating that his Aino got affected with virus within 3 months of time,

Aino user told me that the phone was initially good but it stays as long as you install F-secure antivirus on it. BT headser battery dries out so fast that he has to charge it everytime. I checked for the specifications of the phone, everything is just similar to this W995.


OK. coming to my experience to this phone, this phone is just AWESOME!!!, the best thing about the phone is the walkman it sounds too clear and loud, the equalizer is also too good.

Camera with 8.1MP features are good too, which taking snap is daylight it feels like the colours are faded away, but change your White Balance to Daylight, it takes clear pic. Even the video record quality is good. The front camera is too good to use

Coming to the Location Services, this is the best, as this phone is Edge Enabled you can lookout for any location in and around your area, the Wayfinder is the best application, it calculates everything and you will reach your destination is no time

Now to the appearance, the screen is large and the colour pattern seems to enhance teh look, the keypad is just great, the body comes with fine brush metal panel, easy to hold and access. It also got dedicated Walkman key to go directly to play your songs. the shake control, volume change control is good. When you turn on the walkman, the additional light on the sides of the phone just enhances the beauty of the phone

The speakers are loud and clear, the headset you get is like real treat to your ears. Even at noisy places you can hear your caller. This phone includes other applications like, Music Mate, Youtube application, Facebook, IM --- using IM you can start using your messenger

It also comes with 8 GB memory card, for most of the people i believe 8GB is much more for their regular capacity. Also you can install your own software, yesterday i install Operamini 5.1 and few other applications. So Overall i am extermely satisfied with my phone, people who really want to buy a phone worth for your money, go for this one. I am sure you will not be dissatisfied

Any feedback and queries are always welcome

its really sad that the phone doesnt have a cam in the front for facilitating video calls.pls try to release the same phone with a secondary cam in the future.other than that the phone is exceptionally good.

I have a C905 for almost 2 years now. Its great and I have used almost every feature in it. But now I need an other phone as good as this or better.
I need the camera and Cyber-Shot plus the multimedia features.
So which phone is a good replacement in your opinion?
XPERIA, Satio. Vivaz or Aino?

I really could use a professional user opinion. thnx
