Sony Ericsson has been having some major issues with its Aino series phones and the touch screens. The worst part is the news came just a few days after they found out about the same problems in their Satio devices as well. These phones have been taken off many of the shelves in the UK because of these problems.

A spokesman for Sony Ericsson was quoted saying “we are working on the problem as quickly as possible.” These devices were meant to revitalize and reshape Sony Ericsson’s catalogue. These setbacks are going to cause major problems for the company.

There are many features included with these touch screen phones once all the bugs get worked out. One such feature is the 8.1 megapixel camera all of which can be controlled right on the screen. You can also control the music and film features of the phone right on the screen as well.

For the PS3 fanatics, you will be happy to know that the phone has a remote play feature that allows you to interact with anything that is stored on your PS3.

The texting platform for this phone is a little off base as it is not compatible with texting slang. And being a touch screen phone it does not allow for the entire screen to actually be touch sensitive. The screen lock has a delay on it that can cause issues when placing the phone in your pocket, accidently starting an app or other tool on your phone without even realizing that you are doing it.

With all the features offered in this phone Sony Ericsson might want to think about going back to the drawing board and rethinking the way this phone works in order to get all the features in order.

The once leading mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson has placed huge bets on its recently released cameraphones, Satio and Aino.

Industry sources reported that Sony Ericsson’s lackluster developmental pursuits to offering high-end models could be the cause of its nose-diving losses. From a 21% share of the global market pie, it went down steadily and hit a mere 15% in the recent months.

The company seems to be openly struggling in their efforts to redeem it-self from continuing losses and nosedives of sales, as it faces stiff competition from strong rivals, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung. With the launching of both Satio and Aino, the Japanese and Swedish owners of Sony Ericsson are bent on cutting their loss as well as earning their once-large shares in the global market for mobile phone devices.

The question remains”: Will Satio and Aino deliver and redeem the company’s streak of losing?

It seems Sony Ericsson thinks so.

But more importantly, the remaining chunk of their market shares and many consumers demanding better camera phones see things at the positive light.

In a statement, Sony Ericsson said that Satio integrates the best in its pedigree Cybershot features with that of the Walkman brands, and offers the Sony-exclusive PlayNow; on the other hand, Aino boasts of the capacity to give the best mobile entertainment experience.

Satio comes with a 12.1 megapixel autofocus camera and twelve times the digital zoom. Indeed, more advanced than any other camera phone. More expensive than Aino, Satio also comes with a Xenon flash. It also has anti-shake filter, direct camera key, picture mode selection, geo-tagging with Picasa direct-load capacity, and passable video recording.

For the mobile device experience, Satio comes with HSDPA support, Bluetooth, GPRS EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. It also has an MP3 player, stereo FM radio, supports Java games and applications and is compatible with mobile TV.
