Sony Ericsson recently announced the launch of three brand spankingly new handsets. Each one with its own functionality and purpose. The Aino; 8.1 megapixel camera and remote access to your PS3! The Satio; 12.1 megapixels of camera magic and last but by no means least the Yari, the “gaming-centric” handset with motion controls.
Today however I’m just going to fill you in on the Sony Ericsson Aino. The Aino features both a 3-inch touchscreen and a slide-out keypad giving you the best of both worlds through either its keypad or its intuitive touch UI in media mode. With a focus on multimedia capabilities, the Aino lets you connect with your PS3 remotely! Remote Play with Playstation 3, initially developed for PSP, enables users to control and access media content on Playstation 3 from their phone. This can be done via a local network between Playstation 3 and Aino in your home or via th
e internet from anywhere in the world. For TV lovers in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the UK you can also enjoy the PlayTV™ service on Playstation 3 via the Aino. Watch, pause and record live TV from a huge range of free channels via Aino on the go.
As well as TV you can also watch movies on a crystal clear 3 inch screen and listen to music in superb quality and with increased freedom - thanks to the stylish Wireless Stereo Headphone MH100 and matching Charging Stand EC100 designed to match the Aino’s stylish looks. The Aino also boasts an 8.1-megapixel camera which is quite impressive considering it isn’t on its list of top priorities.
The Aino also introduces Media Home, an application that pulls media content from Media Go™ on your PC over Wi-Fi™ to your phone automatically. Users just insert their Aino into its charging stand and it automatically synchronizes with all the latest media content on their PC so you are always ready to go with the latest content on your phone. Sony Ericsson would like to remind us that “No more wires, no more searching – always the latest fun”.
Overall the Sony Ericsson Aino looks set to be a good addition to the already busy summer though the question that springs to mind is, do the existence of the Aino and the Yari finally put those PSP phone rumours
to bed? With Sony recently unveiling the new PSP Go at this years E3 it certainly seems that way. This will come as disappointing news to some as the much rumoured PSP phone had always seemed like the perfect marriage of one of Sony’s top brands. Having worked so well with the Cyber-shot and Walkman phones, it certainly would have been interesting to see what could have come from Sony Ericsson.
Still, with an excellent camera and more than enough going for it in the media department. Pencilled in for a Q4 launch id say we could expect to see it on the shelves around October.

Between the N97’s and the iPhone 3GS’ you’d be forgiven for thinking there aren’t any major new phone releases due within the next week but you’d be wrong, very wrong. Why? Because the Nokia N86 8MP, Nokia’s first entrant into the realms of the 8.0 Megapixel camera phone, is due to launch on Friday the 26th of June and, more importantly, is now available to pre-order. In the midst of the aforementioned touchscreen heavy weights, you may have forgotten what makes the Nokia N86 so special so, if that’s the case, read on and let us refresh your memory and remind you why you should be excited about the Nokia N86.
ince the first 8.0 Megapixel camera phone launched almost a year ago, the most noticeable absentee has been Nokia. So, when Nokia finally got round to announcing an 8.0 Megapixel cameraphone, you know it’s going to be a bit of a big deal. But not content with releasing an ‘also ran’, Nokia set their sights on making the best 8.0 Megapixel camera phone available on the market. And so we get variable aperture levels; letting you alter the amount of light that the lens lets in, a powerful Dual-LED flash, a 28mm wide angle lens which helps you get even more into each photo, a great panoramic feature that lets you take multiple photos and then stitches them together into one image and finally a Carl Zeiss lens, as was expected in a camera phone of this caliber.
Of course the N86 8MP isn’t just about the camera. Featuring the excellent dual slide design found on the N85 and N96, the N86 is perfect for mobile gaming and is fully compatible with the Ngage gaming platform with games available through the Ovi store. As a Symbian handset, the fun doesn’t stop with games as you can download and install a range of different applications, not to mention customise your phone to suit your needs. HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity compliment the excellent pre-installed web browser and GPS not only lets you Geo-tag photos but also serves up a range of location based services and navigation tools.
And finally, rounding off the package is an excellent multimedia player, supporting a variety of video and audio file formats and an improved kickstand that transforms the N86 into an excellent portable movie player. Available to pre-order now with stock already in and waiting for the 26th of June launch date.

The Nokia 6303 is the newest mid-level candybar in Nokia’s ‘Classic’ range. Running on Nokia’s S40 6th edition operating system, the 6303 Classic is a tri-band handset featuring a large 2.2″ screen and Nokia Maps for GPS navigation.
Whilst in the wake of the recent 8.0 Megapixel wave including the excellent Samsung Tocco Ultra and the new Sony Ericsson W995, you may be wondering why there is so much hype around Nokia’s latest gem. Well, simply because it is the successor to the massively popular Nokia 6300. The 6303 definitely has some big shoes to fill as people including myself loved the no frills direction of the 6300, with excellent build quality and unwavering reliability.
So what are the main differences?? For a start the camera gets a boost from 2 to 3.2 Megapixels and is complimented by autofocus and an LED flash whilst the dimensions remain largely unchanged (the 6303 is slightly wider and a few grams heavier than its predecessor). Stylistically, the 6303 shares much in common with the 6300 with both taking a candybar form factor and comprised of a blend of high quality plastics and metals. The
6303 Clas
sic is slightly more rounded and does benefit from a more user friendly keypad thanks to better spacing between the keys.
Elsewhere, its more a case of evolution over revolution; video capture, a built in MP3 player, 70MB of internal memory and a memory card slot all make the cut. While this may not appease the tech hungry keen for the next 8.0 Megapixel-Wi-Fi-HSDPA-wonder phone, the 6303 is the natural progression for those who fell for the 6300’s considerable charm. What’s more, those of you still sporting the two and a half year old 6300 are probably in need of an upgrade!
The 6303 is available on O2, Orange and T-Mobile with a range of fantastic offers. We have it in both the standard Silver and the exclusive Black variant. Click here to check out the latest deals, order now and get your Nokia 6303 classic tomorrow!

No not according to us, though readers of the Blog will know we’re massive iPhone fans. Mobile Today have announced the big winners at this years Mobile Industry Awards and the top gong for best phone has gone to Apple’s touchscreen masterpiece. Whilst you don’t have to look very far to find someone singing the iPhone 3G’s praises, the Mobile Industry Award bring together the biggest names in the industry in a rigorous and challenging process, from sales directors of the six operators, to the heads of major network and high-street retailers. The Awards begin with a survey of both independent and big store retail staff to find out what they think has made the mobile industry sing.
The next stage is the insight of no fewer than five panels, populated by big names from the industry itself, as well as retail experts. Panels are drawn from the chiefs of big retailers, operator retailers and independents, right through to smaller dealerships. It’s an exhaustive process, but one that ensures the Mobile Industry Awards deliver The Industry’s Verdict on excellence. Enough about the awards process, what about the winner? The fact that the iPhone 3G has won against some stiff competition is impressive as it is but considering it has been voted for by a multitude of retailers and networks that don’t even stock the phone is the really impressive part.
But there was only ever going to be one winner really. The iPhone 3G features arguably the best touchscreen experience found on a phone coupled with a slick user interface and the all conquering App store that has revolutionised the way people think about downloadable content. Web browsing on the iPhone is also in a league of its own with the excellent pinch to zoom feature ensuring even text heavy sites are perfectly legible on the 3.5 inch screen.
So with another accolade in the bank, what’s next for Apple and the iPhone? The rumour mill is currently working over time at the moment hinting at a new iPhone which is, apparently, set to be announced on Monday. Can it equal or even surpass the success of the excellent iPhone 3G? Only time will tell. As soon as we hear anything on a new iPhone, you can read about it first on the Blog.

The latest in a very long line see’s the Sony Ericsson C510 join the illustrious Cyber-Shot family. The Cyber-shot brand has become a Sony heritage, it guarantees picture quality! The camera system is tried and tested to fulfil the requirements for a true Cyber-shot device. Stylish design and reliable performance come with the territory, too. So just bring your Cyber-shot phone, and you’re always ready to catch that special moment.
The brilliantly clear 2.2’’ display lets your images shine. To switch between landscape and portrait mode, simply rotate your phone and the display will automatically change thanks to the on board accelerometer which comes in particularly handy when taking photos or playing games.
A new feature available in the C510 is the Smile Shutter technology, which detects a person’s smile and automatically takes a picture. This feature is also part of a firmware update for the 8.1 megapixel C905. Simply press the Smile Shutter shortcut key, and you’re guaranteed to have happy people in your pictures. Your C510 waits for the smile to appear - and when it’s there, the camera automatically snaps the shot.
The C510 has a whole list of camera extra’s such as photo fix, a feature that allows you to improve under exposed photos by adjusting light and colour contrast. Video blogging which allows you to upload any of the videos on your phone straight onto any personal sites you may have and last but by no means least face and auto focusing. Auto focus allows you to take sharp pictures with no fuss. Just let your camera automatically home in on your subject and snap away. Face focus as the title suggests works as a face detection feature which recognises up to three faces in any picture, and automatically sets the focus on them. The Face detection function automatically controls the exposure, too. There is also a camera light and LED flash.
Get quality prints of your pictures delivered straight to your door via Snapfish. You send the print order directly from your phone or skip the online orders and computer and photo editing software. Just connect your phone to a printer, choose an image and print. Simple as that! Alternatively you can take a picture and send it straight to your own personal Web site/s. Friends and family can see what you see - instantly. Ideal for sharing holiday snaps quickly and easily. And you automatically build up an archive over time. Not to forget the C510 also comes with Facebook integrated, which makes staying connected to your friends even easier no matter where you are.
Despite not being a Walkman-branded handset, the Sony Ericsson C510 is still a capable multimedia phone. It uses a tiered media interface similar to most of the Walkman handsets, incorporating photo, music, video and Web feed menus. It even includes a YouTube application in its video menu. Sony Ericsson’s TrackID feature is also present. A2DP Bluetooth and an FM radio are also available, though the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack or adapter does put a damper on things. For extra storage, a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot is included, though there is no card in the sales package. The Sony Ericsson C510 is also HSDPA-capable and includes Bluetooth and USB connectivity as you may have guessed through all its online extras. The C510 is available to buy now on Orange, O2 and 3, so click here for a closer look.

While the photo makes it look like the new Nokia N97 has fallen off the back of a lorry, this is arguably the most stylish N Series handset the Finns have ever made.
Supposedly a step down from the two way sliders, the N79 is a fine slab of technology WITHOUT the sharp edges that many people find offensive about the more angular N Series phones.
It is also as feature laden as any of the bulkier N Series handsets, such as the N95 8gb. The onboard camera is of the same standard as the chunkier handsets and has the added advantage of a lens cover (which is sadly missing from the N95 8gb). The megapixel count is high (five) but, as ever with these Nokia cameras, what is really impressive is the quality of the images produced.
I guess the only area where this handset falls down a little is in the size of the display, which is significantly smaller than the top end N Series phones. But then did anyone actually watch Spiderman 3 on their handsets anyway? I doubt it.
All in all, a great new addition to the Nokia range and well worth considering if you are looking for a practical compromise between form and function.

Nokia recently announced the N97, which is the latest in a long line of business phones from the Finns. The most notable thing about the handset is the great touch screen (which Nokia finally appear to have "got right") and the raft of features that put the handset up there with most mobile internet PCs like the Eee and its raft of imitators.
Nokia Maps has had an upgrade. This was perhaps inevitable, for two reasons. Firstly, people love the GPS functionality. Personally, I use Nokia maps regularly, especially when stumbling around a big city like London, or when sitting on a train and curious. The second reason for stronger GPS functionality on phones is probably more significant.
Location based mobile marketing is being touted as the "next big thing" in advertising/marketing - just ask NMA magazine (not to be confused with the rather less rock 'n roll NME). It has, of course, been touted as such for about five years but the technology is finally reaching a point where people are regularly consulting their handsets for directions. "Wow" say the marketers, "if people are looking for directions, what better time could there be to shove advertising down their throats? GO TO CAFE NERO. GO TO CAFE NERO". This is, of course, a dramatisation, but the techology is becoming more and more popular and mobile marketers are pushing clients hard to go down this route.
Back to the handset. Good camera (same as the N95), good keyboard (nicely spaced), useful tilty screen (to help with glare), good MP3 and video compatibility and 32gb of internal memory make this an attractive proposition. The digital compass is a nice touch too.
All in all, another strong offering from Nokia.

to bed? With Sony recently unveiling the new PSP Go at this years E3 it certainly seems that way. This will come as disappointing news to some as the much rumoured PSP phone had always seemed like the perfect marriage of one of Sony’s top brands. Having worked so well with the Cyber-shot and Walkman phones, it certainly would have been interesting to see what could have come from Sony Ericsson.
