Many analysts have predicted that 2009 will either make or break mobile-phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson. To cure the red ink from the financials, Sony Ericsson announced the Aino and Satio. Unfortunately earlier this week Satio sales were suspended after a software glitch was discovered that caused the flagship device to power down when users were trying to access certain applications. This was only the beginning as other users reported constant freezes, crashes, under-performing batteries and bizarre interface behavior.
Fast forward to Saturday and now we’ve been told by Carphone Warehouse that they are suspending sales of the Sony Ericsson Aino. The only good news for Sony Ericsson is that only a limited number of Aino’s have sold in the UK so volume of affected devices should be minimal. Meanwhile here in the U.S., SonyStyle continues to hawk the $600 Aino so we are not sure whether the issues are localized to the UK or whether the news hasn’t traveled West yet.
