Well, the Sony Ericsson Aino surely did surprise it. The very concept of it is so un-Sony-Ericsson-like. You've got a huge touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all of the other the well-known goodies. We've gotta say that the microSD card support is more than welcome as well.

No longer do you have to choose between a Cyber-shot and a Walkman, and no longer should you go for other mobile phones when decent video recording is a must. It seems that Sony Ericsson are changing their game plan and thus they may be even changing the game itself.
