The Sony Ericsson Satio and Aino were Sony Ericssons flagship handsets on the run up to christmas supported by a huge marketing campaign when they were launched in October this year.
However, Sony Ericsson was forced to pull the high end Satio handset due to high levels of returns at both Carphone Warehouse and Phones4u.
And the trouble doesn’t end there for Sony Ericsson as they have now had to pull its second handset this week, the mid-range Aino due to software issues.
This is a shame, and just follows Sony Ericssons current market trend of recalling products, last year alone they had to recall the K850i, W910i and C902 due to crashing and software issues. As a former Sony Ericsson fan boy myself, I have never bought and never will buy another Sony Ericsson handset since the K850i.
Sony Ericsson seem capable of building solid handsets, but just cant handle the software side of things anymore with the fast advancements of the mobile phone industry. Who knows, Android might be there saviour, it certainly is for Motorola.
