I got the Aino becuase it only uses touch screen for some functions and connects to my PS3.

Got my Satio back in November (I think it was) just released as an upgrade option by the carphone warehouse and its absoloutly great
Would reccomend them to anyone. Takes awesome pics and the flash really lights up the room if its dark, makes it look like the lights could of been on. Access to the net is pretty quick and downloading isn't bad for a phone. I got one as I wanted to get a good camera phone again and I am not at all dissapointed!

The only pain is you can't hide the pen anywhere So I have mine hanging off of the bottom, but you can use your fingertips very easily.

If you want a good camera on a good phone, then you need to look no further

btw I am on o2 as I find the rest are absolout crap
