which phone is good? which one do you use? i cant make a choise (
Mini pro if love emailing and texting..
Mini Pro by far, the type feature on the mini is very unsuitable for a small phone and the actual qwerty keyboard on my Mini Pro is perfect, its one of the reasons i did not buy HTC... They are roughly the same price anyway. I got a Mini for my brother first, I liked the Mini so much and really wanted to buy the Mini but then the Mini Pro just came out and opted to wait for the price drop of the Mini Pro, after 2-3 weeks i paid the same price for the Mini Pro as I did for the Mini I bought for my brother. I have acess to both phones and think the Mini Pro is a much better option, another plus side is that Mini Pro's screen also has the hardware to support multi-touch which we currently do not have but may well be cracked by Owain very soon!
PS. Mini Pro is perfect for emulators such as Nesoid, Snesoid as you can configure button inputs and do not have to rely on onscreen touch buttons which will not work on Mini anyway as it will not support the multi-touch.
Mini PRO. Size is almost the same, but the advantage of keyboard is great!
You can play a lot of games from gameboy or psx emulators much better with HW keyboard then the onscreen one..
is there big size difference between them?
not really they're both tiny phones. the pro is slightly heavier but worth the extra bulk
Another thing is that there are no... I don't know the exact word... You know... The thing that covers back the phone and is colorful and also covers the battery... The back cover! xP
There are no back covers for mini pro included when you buy it... That's the only thing that 'annoys' me... There is a variety on mini's box... But I would definetely suggest you buy a mini pro, I am able to type superfast and as the other guys said it's a BIG advantage having a keyboard for emulators and chatting.
And... You can't take the mini's battery off! On contrary, with mini pro, you can. Imagine your phone crashing, you would be in trouble.
Sorry for my dislexia and stupidity, but I just got up! xD

x10 mini pro is a better choice. It has a hardware keyboard, which allows u type faster, more convenient. Besides, if u want to play games with emulator eg. snes, gameboid, GBCoid, PSX4Droid..., u cant play well with virtual pad since x10 mini doesn't has multitouch.
essentially i dont play games and dont type message generally.
Then if you are conserned about the money and don't care about inserting and ejecting the battery (something very important for me), then go on and buy a mini...

If you care about money, I'd think that the different in prices between mini and mini pro is not too much. I suggest you mini pro. I don't see any advantage for mini besides color backcovers
in Turkiye the price difference mini and mini pro is 10 dollars. so i gave order mini pro
Nice, make sure you install CyanogenMod when you come to our world! ;-)

but someone says there are some errors with that rom. reboot,battery,camera etc.
everything works fine for me flashing CM6 final and floyotweaks: battery is the same; camera/camcorder no problems; reboots fixed (people complaining probably have overclocked too high)
Anyway, any problems and you're sure to find a fix on the forum
The system is almost perfect... Of course better than the stock official. But if you don't like it, you can always go back to the official rom you had before you install it, simply with xRecovery. But to return, it must be the same version with the cyanogen version. For example, if you are on 2.1 and install cyanogen froyo (which is 2.2) you cannot go back to it.

No errors.... they need only to do a full clear installation of the 2.1up1 from PC Companion or SEUS, then clear the SD card...
Then install the ROM!
Maybe, at this point, that the phone reboot...
In this case reinstall .zip file and It will works!
Hey bro, i have the mini and i love it. But if i were you id wait until the new sony xperia pro comes out. Its a new version of the mini pro. It will be so much better than the mini and mini pro. And you will be able to unlock the bootloader through sony website so customisation will be better and easier. Anyway cheers, evilbarcode.

My friend has the mini, one of the firsts and the battery doesn't come out, in my pro it comes.
Pro is a little bigger.
Off course the keyboard, is needed if you type allot cause of the small screen.
I have also have the x10 and now i have mini pro and i will never go back to the big brother again, i think it's better then the x10

I have both, but i still use the x10 as my main phone
ui of the mini pro got annoying realy quickly i installed AWD launcher and its a lot better,
mini pro seems to be quicker in alot of things,
the flash works with the camera automaticly
keyboard is good but have not been able to map keys to and games yet
Hi
My question is : which is the best : the Mini or the Mini Pro ?
In fact, I can have the Mini Pro for ~250$, but I can also have the Mini for ~200$, both in black and ~50$ lesser than the Pro (during this week only, in belgium). What I'm afraid of is : with the Mini, the battery is not removable, and with the Pro...well I think i'll never use the AZERTY keyboard because I'm used to the T9 for sms and almost everything else.
So, What do you think ?
Thanks in advance for your advices
If you have small finger, go for Mini. But if you have big finger, go for mini pro. It's a little bit bigger than Mini.
I went for the mini pro and i've found that the keyboard is pretty good.
So good in fact that i've turned off the t9 input completely.. it only takes a second to slide out the keyboard and type what you need..
The SE t9 input looks nice but i don't think it is very effective, at least compared to the other t9 keyboards/keypads i've used (this is a personal opinion, some people love it).
So, i would suggest the mini pro unless you really need a slim phone.
I have both nd I find them both easy to use its all down to preference on which u choose but u will b happy with either one

So, don't you think that the not removable battery of the Mini is a problem ?
@stluciasound : No, my fingers are not big .
In fact, I've tried them both, I'm impressed of both, and the only two things that makes me doubt are the battery (not removable in the Mini) and the keyboard (in the Mini Pro), well and the price too, lol.

I have had both and i use now my pro, both phones is nice i only use pro because i write much and then is the qwerty keyboard best

thanks to all
my main issue is the unremovable battery of the Mini, because I think I'll never use the full keyboard of the Pro...
So do you have battery problem with the Mini ?
Finally, I'll wait about a month to buy the Mini Pro.
Even If I don't use the AZERTY keyboard very often, the battery is removable, just in case... (and the 2.1 should be out ^^)
i have both and mini is more beatiful , batery isn`t problem for flashing etc. if you don`t use keyboard buy mini !
go for the mini lighter better looking battery not an issue and why buy a touch phone if your gonna use a keyboard;
Just as the title...
Can min Pro have double touch??
Thanks for answer...
from what I've read from previous threads, YES, it can, but not just yet.
THANKS...you give me faith...

Can anyone confirm Multi touch for x10 Mini NOT Pro
Saw the blog here.. Seems Xda team did it again. Is it supported on X10 mini as well?
nope. mini and mini pro have different hardware on MT so there should be a different script for the mini

you mean X10 mini will never have MT? I think both have the same screens. Am I right?
I saw an article on endgadget but cant port links since my posts arent yet 10 but I will quote it
However, this one isn’t your usual run of the mill rumor. Our friend Michell over at se-blog did a little bit of research on his own. He managed to contact Synaptics, who are a supplier of touchscreen technologies and learned that the X10 mini sports a ClearPad 2000 solution, which means it supports dual touch, which is the basic form of multi-touch. It may not be available out of the box due to the device launching with Android 1.6 onboard, but it’ll certainly be enabled once the Android OS is updated.
Strangely, Synaptics is the supplier for only the X10 mini and not the X10 mini pro. Is it because Sony Ericsson thought that the mini would be crippled due to the lack of a physical keyboard and hence opted for the technology to provide a better experience? No idea. Sony Ericsson do have a knack of taking strange decisions, this one being another addition to the list.

I'm sorry, you will never have MT , engadget its the worse gossip publisher, and no, Mini pro have different digitizer (CYP-CY8CTMA300), better than mini, better than even big X10, capable with multitouch, and no dualtouch like X10 (Clearpad2000), or single touch like mini (Clearpad1000).. sorry, but let it die!

better than even big x10，capable with multitouch， meanting that pro can have more than two finger touch ？？？
Sent from my U20i using Tapatalk
? Why is Mini Pro capable of while Mini isn't?! I mean Mini relies only on its touchscreen whereas the Pro might even add functionality to some apps with the keyboard.
Anyone knows the answer why SE chose for that? (was mini released before the Pro i.e.? Or maybe loves the Pro more, like I do? ).
Hey guys, I have the choice to buy a Mini Pro for 90€ or an Arc S for 160€. Don't mind the details, just that I'm very tight on cash right now. Is the Arc S worth the extra 70€? Thanks
According to a gsmarena comparison, the difference is going to get you a better screen resolution, a better camera, a larger SD card in the package, a better battery.
However, the arc lacks a QWERTY keyboard, front facing camera, and has less internal storage.
They're both decent, but the choice is up to you.

If youre a ps1 and gba games lover, you probably want to take the mini pro so that you can play those games with the keyboard instead of a touchscreen

if you can afford it ... then buy it, its a flagship of xperia phone ( with all those ++ )
if you have tight cash ( like me ... ) ... there is Ray or Neo
if you have really tight cash ... then go for minipro, it's a good choice
it's simple as that ... just ask your wallet ....

They know nothing about smartphones, obviously.
Go for ARC S only if you want to play games on your Xperia
If you are not big fan of gaming but want fast performance then choose Mini Pro
As mini pro is faster than Arc S.
Only problem is Mini Pro is HVGA Device so inspite of the fact that its faster and powerful than Arc S,it will not be able to play WVGA resolution games.
I myself had to choose anyone of these and i choose Mini Pro
And m extremely happy with my choice

I want to have many apps on phone and install roms,play games and browse internet.So what do you recommend?
Sorry for my bad english

sorry for my second topic

They are very similar in terms of hardware. I think it all comes down to personal preference.
Just by the New Xperia Mini or Live with Walkman they aren't expensive.. the x10 mini has a better camera than the x8 but smaller screen size.. x10 mini is a great phone.. but by time it is becoming underpowered. x10 mini still great phone though

Don't know about CSmini but sure you can play pes and fifa and for gta 3 you get fc.
On mini pro you can play pes and gta 3. On the x8 you coulnd play gta since there is no real multitouch. On the mini pro its hard to play becouse of the small screen.

Buy Xperia Mini!
Wait for some time till u have enough money! Its worth waiting!
Xperia mini has both goods of x10 mini and x8 and yet more powerful with its 1ghz processor , multitouch, braviaengine and updates of future android versions!!!!!
Due to small screen the games on x10 mini is not a fun!
So i personally recommended u to wait for some days and buy a smartphone that u wont regret in future!!

It's a stunning little device... but budget may be a issue.
If you need MT you may get lucky with a x10 mini pro with Dualtouch but the screen and keyboard are horridly tiny.
The x8 is better if you just need a phone to mess around with.. take calls ect.. watch vids or listen music basic touch games.. if your lucky BuggyDualTouchTM
Screen is a bit bigger but has the same cpu as x10MP or X10M.
If you have the cash Xperia Mini PRO...
same Xperia ARC chipset. bigger screen ect..
XD That is pretty much big power..
