Sony Ericsson have always annoyed us and pleased us in equal measure. But with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3, it looks like they’re heading towards pleasing us more than annoying. Which, well, makes us happy.

For so long they’ve created phones that are really great in some or even most areas, but that have been crippled by annoying quirks that we just haven’t been able to forgive them for. A phone of there’s might have a fantastic music player, for example, but then it’d have no 3.5mm jack socket and you’d have to use and/or buy Sony-specific headphones. Or another model might have a superb, high-mega-pixel camera, but then you’d have to buy Sony Ericsson memory cards (at a far higher cost than the industry-standard microSD cards). Not so, in both cases, for the Sony Ericsson xperia X3. Quite why it took them so long to realise that it’s a good idea to allow the use of the kind of technologies the rest of the industry is happy to support is beyond us. Actually, it’s not: is what simply about them being greedy and wanting more profit for themselves, but let’s not hold that against them.

Oh, and did we mentioned that the X3 is a Google Android phone… well, it is. And if you follow this blog regularly you’ll know how happy that makes us. So, all looks good for this little beauty, as is expanded on in this Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 review. The sad thing is it’s not due out for a few months yet, but you can still have a look at these Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 deals in the meantime, or take a sneak peek at what the UI is going to look like.

• 3G
• WiFi
• 8MP camera
• Very decent battery time

…start as you mean to go on is something our gran always told us, and seeing as how the only way we’ve been able to get our head around the sheer number of things the Sony Ericsson Aino’s promising is to listulate it (that means to make into a list, obviously), we thought we’d do just that. Anyway, the more vital list runs as follows:

• Remote Play – Basically, Remote Play gives you access to all your PS3’s media content on your Aino. Whether at home and linked in to your usual network, or anywhere else in the world where you can get a decent internet connection, you can access all that stored PS3 goodness in an instant
• PlayTVservice – Again, a PS3-owners one. You’ll know that you can watch certain free TV channels on it , but now with the Aino you can watch these channels on the phone itself, just by hooking up via the internet. Impressive
• Media Go – A simple way of controlling (i.e. watching / playing / transferring) all the media files on home computer using the Aino itself as a kind of funky little remote control
• Media Home – a means of Synchronising your PC with your phone to make sure you’ve everything you want with you, wherever you go.

The Sony Ericsson Aino, then is about as media-tastic as it gets. And luckily, as that first list at the top suggests, it ticks all the other boxes you might want ticking too. Keep an eye out, but this should be released sometime in the autumn. In the meantime, check out the teaser of a video below, or just have a look at this Sony Ericsson Aino review.

Sony Ericsson seems to be doing pretty well in the looks department as far as mobile phones are concerned. The announcement of the Sony Ericsson Aino marks yet another handset that is destined to become a firm favourite with Son Ericsson lovers everywhere.
So what is so special about the Sony Ericsson Aino? Well it seems that Sony are keen to create a phone that will work alongside its PS3 console. The Aino does just that, allowing users to control their PS3 remotely using their mobile device. So is this the rumoured PSP phone? Sadly not, although it will allow users to interact with their PS3 when they are not in the room. The only feature that I have found so far is the ability to turn your PS3 on or off, but I am sure that plenty more features will be announced in due course.
But what is you can’t wait for this handset to be released? Then we suggest you try one of the Sony Ericsson W995 deals that are available to consumers right now. Okay it won’t turn your PS3 on or off, but you do get an impressive 8.1 megapixel camera and all those great walkman features that we have come to know and love from Sony Ericsson.

Yawn…. Another handset trying to grab market share by adding a better camera. I don’t know if it’s just me, but bolting on more megapixels onto an old model doesn’t really do it for me. Yet that is exactly what Samsung have done with their “all new” Samsung Pixon 12. It seems that in a bid to increase market share, Samsung is releasing the Sony Ericsson Satio which is expected to be released later this year. Overall both handsets promise to offer great image quality, but is there really much more room for increased pixel quality images on your mobile phone. I feel that we should now be looking beyond purely just megapixels. We should be looking at optical zoom, new filters, better flash quality and more besides. 12 megapixels is great, but without a high quality lens, you will not see a marked difference image quality. I have mentioned before in other posts that we may not be far off a truly universal device that will allow users to leave their digital camera at home and just take a phone out with them. However if handset manufacturers are determined to simply increase the resolution on their handsets and not offer other features, it may take us a little longer to achieve this. So can we say that 12 megapixels is going to be the highest spec? I very much doubt it!

The Sony Ericsson Idou, though it did face a bit of competition from the Samsung OmniaHD, seems to have come out trumps during the MWC 2009 mainly due to the magnificent 12 MPIX camera. Let’s have a deeper look at it.

Though the Idou which was shown at the MWC 2009 was just a prototype (meaning it’s not the final version), it did have enough to get a lot of people excited.
The new interface of the Sony Ericsson Idouis something that is bound to wow people considering that it’s the first time that SE have gone away from their boring old UI.

The slickness of the touch UI on the 640×360 3.5 inch screen is what grabs most attention, having no lag when switching between apps. Since it’s just a prototype, it makes it all the more interesting. Contacts can be customized in such a way that favorites come first. The homescreen has a media player plug in so that the music player or the video player can be accessed with a single touch.

The phone has an M2 memory card for expansion, and also makes use of the new SE features set i.e. the PlayNow Arena and the MediaGo software which enables the user to sync easily with a device on the home server. Sony Ericsson is really stretching the limits and competing with the likes of PS3s and the Bravias, but it will also be compatible with any DLNA-enabled server. The Telegraph has a point when saying that the phone does spell the doom of the digital camera with a whooping 12 MPIX camera.

The Idou is expected to make its appearance in the spring, although it should not be counted on as the Xperia launched nearly 1 year after being announced.

Once it does come, you should look for some good mobile phone deals so that you will get the Idou at a great price.
