Which one should i get ?

my contract is running out at the 5th of December and i don't know which phone to get, i have seen the sony satio and the sony aino, i know the aino is not fully touch screen just on the media player, I also know that the satio has a 12.1 meg cam and is full touch screen, the only thing that sways me toward the aino is the fact it can connect to my ps3 via, the remote play service, does anyone know if u can do this with the satio ? And which one would be better to get?

they are both v.good phones and the ability to connect with remote play is amazing, but the 12.1 meg camera is outstanding so i was just wondering which one you guys would go for =]

don't get a phone because of it's camera, ultimately, a real camera is 10x better

so which one should i get then ?

TBH, you've got a good month or so before you have to do any real thinking, so why not wait for the phones to be out for a bit and see what the consensus on them seems to be?

I think I'd go for the Satio, I don't think I could live without a smartphone now.

There's no standard definition, but the distinction that I was trying to make is that the Satio runs a powerful OS (Symbian S60 v5), which you can get applications for, multitask etc.

The Aino is a phone with a great featureset, but you're more or less stuck with the features it comes with.

Obviously, but if you are out and about, there is nothing better than a combined phone and semi decent camera. N82 does rather well in that regard.

Id try both phones out when they come out.

What features are you looking for in a phone?

i would like a good camera, one has 8.1 and the other has 12.1, so they are both good, but what made me look at the aino is the fact of remote play with the playstation 3 (which i have) =], but if the satio has the remote play then i will have the satio

edit * i still might go for the satio depending on the apps it can have, if it can have apps. But something that puts me off is the aino's half touch screen i had a phone like this the lg secret and it was teribal so it kinda puts me off
and a quick question smart phones do hyave apps don't they ?

Satio doesnt support the PS3 remote play so looks like if you want that option then Aino is your only option.

Jobey292 · 6 Oct 2009 at 13:39

hmmmm. why don't sony just make all new phone compatible because this know put me in awkward situation because i want it to connect to my ps3 but reading up on that os the satio uses i think that will be best option
