I hope that the remote play function will appear on Android with the release of the Experia X3 “Rachel”… I’m very interested in an android phone.

I’m not interested in an iPhone as it’s locked down and only any use if you’re happy for Apple to take control of your media with iTunes.

As far as using 3G instead of wifi is concerned, the only other option would be to use a PSP and bluetooth tethering to a regular phone. I’ve been considering getting a second-hand PSP for this.

PlayTV on PS3 is a fantastic product, so please please please Sony, please widen the facility to other’s.

I bought the phone unlocked here in the USA from CTINYC. I have to tell you I absolutely love it. I went to Tmobile to get a flexpay acct and sim card and a smartphone plan and its frickin sweet. The only though Tmobile does NOT have 3G with this phone as opposed to ATT. That said, I clicked the setting in the phone to get the MMS and the INternet to work and it synched with SOny Ericsson to get the settings right. I can now do text, MMS and Internet (Edge).
Everything else works on the phone and its frickin fantastic. I did change the SOny Ericsson page to read UK so I can keep up with the phone support etc. The USA Sony Ericsson page doesnt have the phone in there so you have to look at the UK page.

I like the look af the phone, but right now i have a iPhone, so i would be so cool if Sony made a Remote Play app for the iPhone..i really think i would be a hit if it would come in the near future.

So PLEASE Sony, make a iPhone Remote Play App for the iPhone.

James,

I’m pretty sure I have set up my Aino with my ps3 but when trying to connect (and turn on)by remote play via wi fi, I keep getting a ps3 connection timed out message. What could be causing this ?
Only got phone today and this problem is driving me mad.

Great bit of kit though !!

HELP ?

Any chance you could stop ignoring the iPhone questions???

How about saying if there any plans for an iPhone app etc?

Sony could sell an iPhone app for £20, £30, £40+ and a lot of PS3 owners would go for it.

If people already have an iPhone then they arnt going to buy a Sony Ericsson phone anyway.

And the comment about touch screens not working with remote play, that has to be a laugh doesn’t it? im a programmer and im pretty sure anything that acts as an input device can be programmed.

PSP phone, no chance, Sony is all over the place as a company, the departments dont co-operate and interact with each other very well, i was amazed when SE announced the Aino, maybe its a sign of better things to come from Sony….

Hi, so can I get this straight…you can or can’t stream movies from the PS3 to the phone? If you can, what codecs are available? I have quite a few movies on my PS3 that I’d like to be able to play whilst on the move. Cheers.

I already own an iPhone 3GS. This phone looks cool and all, but the fact that it’s able to message friends on the PS Network makes me a bit upset. How come we’re not already able to do this on PlayStation.com?

Oh i want this phone! But i bought a SE Experia X2 not to long ago!
Beeing a Sony fan costs a lot of money…
But it will look good next to all my other Sony stuff
I’ll buy one for X-mas.

Nice as Sony Ericsson OS phones are (and they’re seriously nice as far as Java phones go) my next upgrade’s going to run Android. Are there any plans to provide this sort of functionality on the SE Rachel?

I have been really looking forward to the release of this phone. To think I can stream the live TV through play TV over 3G is just awesome.

Just need to find a good deal now…

I really wish I didn’t buy my stupid Nokia. A week later I saw details for this phone. Hopefully 3 will stock this phone and I can blag an upgrade before one’s due
