Sony Ericsson Aino pulled out from UK stores just after Satio

27 November, 2009
Only a week ago Carphone Warehouse pulled out the Satio from their stores due to software issues. Now the not-so-touchable Aino followed its Symbian sibling with complaints about touch performance...

The quality of Sony Ericsson phones have always been poor. The labels on the buttons wear out in a few months, which is a joke. This happened to my K800i, K660i, W995, C905, etc...

I switched to Samsung U600 and after two years, it still looks like new. No wonder SE are making a loss every quarter. Sony Ericsson = FAIL.

            I had a W580i for two years and it worked perfectly throughout. Since four months I have a C901 and no probs with it as well. I love SE phones and my next phone will also be a SE probably X2 or Aino.

                      i thought the w910i was already the lousiest phone n most problematic phone ever. Besides auto restarting on its own like forever n now it switches off when i slide open the phone. What cool technology from SE. And now Aino. Whats happening to SE ? Im dying to change mine soon. Think twice b4 buying SE phones.

                        Sony Ericsson have been loosing money for a long time now, seems to me they were told to release these quick by managment you can tell they are not as profesional as Samsung and LG. I rate Samsung and LG pretty much on par with each other they are definately the best touchscreen manufactures although LG does have nicer UI, and lately more inovative, samsungs have the better camera quality. nokia touchscreens phones are also no good poor blocky UI, buggy web browsers, poor touch screen implementation. Look how long it takes sony ericcson and nokia to release a new high end phone and they make such a big fuss about it when they do. Samsung and LG release a slew of high end phones like its nothing.

                          ALL this is small stuff that will get sorted out quickly! I wish my company would learn from SE! I'm drowning in N97's.

                            sorry this is only happening in two supplyers not all over UK and all over the world so SE isn't junk or something else worser. So pls stop judgeing on one tiny thing where were u whene nokia had problems with bad reception or soun or ever bugs ?! so every phone isn't supream because peaople aren't so deal with it.

                                I work in a phone shop I have been amazed by how manyh returns we get of SE handsets over the past 2 years. Barely a single w910 didnt succumb to the inevitable software issues, k850 was even worse and we still get c905s comming back with faulty speakers.
                                I used to love SE but I have disallusioned by such occurences and theis latest news only further proves that SE need to sort out their quality control and testing.

                                Remember the keypad on the w580? Shocking.

                                    shine, 28 Nov 2009SE UI sucks... Symbian will fix Satio for sure.. But Aino...sinkthe proof that Aino hasn't been removed from the market is

                                    also there have been many webpages saying that also N97 and satio are pulled from the shelves due to problems.

                                    Aino problem will be fixed very soon, you can check the se website about support update and you will find that firmware update is coming very soon.
                                    there is no similiar thing on the satio.
                                    seem satio is having major problem, while aino will be fixed very soon

                                      I believe one of the problem was when se started shipping bulk of their production from china. Other manufacturers did that too but they have very good qc controls over there which se does not have. And most of their handsets are being outsourced to save manufacturing costs and that results in decreased quality and reliability. Also se is not as u say ''in the zone'' these days as it is not offering innovative products. Having said that se has made some amazing fones in the middle range in the past with great cameras....and those cameras used to work as advertised...i have a nokia e51 at the moment and its camera is so bad that whenever i try to take a picture i feel this strange urge to smash it to a wall whenever i see its result..:(
