yeah as above, a thousand dollars for a cell phone; nice but no thanks. I'll take a new 42 inch lcd for that.

Thats about what any new phone cost here.

But no one buys them, you get them on a contract or some kind of prepaid deal. iPhones were the same.

PS
This is a feature I have been wishing for. PS3 should connect to any blutooth phone to use as a remote or simple browse pix and music. They need to do more to push the advantage of having 7 built in blutooth controllers.

Maybe apple should have a word to Sony as a way of sticking it to M$.

bring this feature to the x10 (rachel) i'm seriously considering picking it up, that and the HD2..goodbye x1..anyone interested in a mint condition x1?

I just got my DROID, which looks a bit like this one, except better...:) for $700 less.... Sony thinks everything they make should be over $500 even if it's a plastic spork.... that's why I waited for the PS3 price drop...greedy bastards.

No Touch, No Party.

Anyway, is a good phone.

in theory but anyone else in the UK find we have a distinct lack of wireless hotspots? When I bought my PSP 3000 last year, the pairing function with my PS3, when out and about , was a big selling point for me. Still never found anywhere (East Midlands) I can use it.

Same story with 3G coverage . Facilities such as mobile TV on my Vodafone Sony Ericsson are frustratingly pointless until the UK becomes less of a third -rate nation in terms of implementing these public services.

"The Aino has a recommended retail price in NZ of $999."

Lol?..

.

All good phones are around 1000 when they come out that's why people go on plans sounds great to conect to ps3 I will prob grt 1 when current contract ends

Right now its $480 USD

nothing great about this phone got my hands on it here in Singapore. it's such a rip-off. you only access the xmb to view photos, play music and playstation store thats it, might as well get a iphone and psp with that much $$ and still have remainder to spent on other stuff. btw ericsson s*** at making phones

Guys Is New Zeland Currency not U$S or €, the best phones are expensive, but I'll wait a little for this one

hahaha thats priceless $700 for a phone!!! a ps3 is half that price who in there right mind would ever pay that much for a phone???
dumbassess thats who

I got this phone on contract in Aus! luv it! PS3 remote play is awesome!! Didnt want an iphone, cant stand Itunes, you can just drop and drag this! and the 8.1 mp Camera is another bonus

BTW outright the phone is closer to $500
