I've been looking at this phone for a while now, especially since my SE w760 has run out of its warranty in the past couple months. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on it, good or bad.. along with a few questions (always the questions!)

I've always been quite fond of SE and now that they're coming up with more updated technologies on their phones to keep up with the market is definitely making me keep my eye on them. =D

1. Does it have Smartsearch?
2. Are the buttons difficult to press (ie. too rigid?)
3. Does it look like the camera lens can get scratched very easily?
4. How long is the battery life?
5. Any lagging at all?

All i know is that sony ericsson phones have godly battery life in general. I'm using my 3rd one right now. And I've been keeping my eye on the aino too!! it looks beautiful

it looks really nice
i've had an SE phone before and i had no problems with it
SE phones work great

I'm using my third SE phone too. I love SE<3 I agree.. their battery life is really good!
This looks sleeek!

Here are the specs. Judging from the specs, the phone looks awesome. I love my w580i...I hope the price gets reduced soon; I don't think I'd ever pay for a $600 phone T_T.

Since the unlocked version just came out there aren't many reviews on it, except for one that wasn't in favor of it. I'd wait for a few days/weeks until more reviews come out before making a judgment.
I hope this helps a bit .

I've also seen the specs provided by gsmarena.com, as well as their full review - which has me feeling so amped for this phone haha. I just wanted to know if anyone had personal experiences with it. I'll likely wait until after the Christmas rush before I get it - that gives SE more time to work out any bugs, and after too the price should drop. At least, that's what I'm hoping for!

I saw it at pmall the other day [a mall in Toronto] and held it in my hands.. I think i cried a little tear of joy. And then clawed at the display case before my sister pulled me away. I'm not totally enamored, I swear..
