Hurray! Not only is today “Droid Day”, but it also just so happens to be “New Sony Ericsson phone with a name no one can pronounce” day! Happy NSEPWNNCP Day, everyone!
Sony Ericsson’s present for today is the Aino, an 8.1-megapixel’d, WiFi’d, tri-band HSPA’d (so it should work with certain US GSM carriers – that is, AT&T), with a lowly 1000mAh battery and a 432×340 display.
Because $600 sheckles is a lot of dough to drop on a phone — even an unlocked one — by today’s standards, SE isn’t sending you home with just a phone and a smile. They’ve also packed in an 8GB MicroSD card, a stereo bluetooth headset, a dock, and a pony.
We’re lying about the pony.
You can find it in the SonyStyle store here, albeit currently backordered.

you got to be joking 600 dollars i wanted this phone
but not at that cost come on my ps3 cost that 2 years ago and thats a gaming console
We need some $600 dollar websites to go with that.
How funny. Don’t they know Aino sounds like “Ay No” in Spanish, which means “Oh No!” This is just as dumb as the legendary naming mistake years ago by Chevrolet, when they launched the Nova (”Doesn’t Go”) in Latin America. Brilliant job, Sony!
Oh nooooooez !!! I bought it for the pony !
I believe it is pronounced like “anal”.
