I have been using the mini pro now for almost a year. Last week while browsing the net for a cheap contract deal for a relative, I found a very cheap deal for a refurbished x10 which I got. Been using it now With the official SE 2.1 firmware for a few days. All in all, I am quite happy with it. The fact it will get gingerbread soon makes it even better. My experience with it shows me that you can't really have a good smartphone experience (let alone a good android experience) with the minis. The screen size really lets down what could have been a true if somewhat humble champion. I believe a 3 inch screen should be the very minimum for a smartphone that's meant for web browsing, emailing, and running apps. SE made a mistake (one of many in what was a very poorly judged 2010) which they have rectified with the new mini range.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure there are a lot of folks out there who get a lot of joy from their minis. For me personally having used the x10 for a while, the minis just don't give a very good smartphone experience.
Share your thoughts.

I love my mini pro but I will love to try out different android phones like the xperia play since I'm a playstation fan all the way!!!
I might stay with my mini pro and I'm going to save money to buy a tablet or a new phone if my mini pro dies hehe (I hope it doesn't happen soon)

Zodiac, i couldn't agree more! I love my mini (not even pro), but the screen is really to small for sucha good and complete device.
My partner has an SE Arc and from the first time i touched it i was jealous, not only for the specs and speed (my lill mini on miniCM6 keeps up in performance amazingly well....lol...), but the screen looks and works so freaking awesome. I decided instantly i 'need' one too!
On the other hand, since the mini was my first android device, parting from it will be a bit hard, how weird can one be huhh......
Well, you are right about the tiny screen. It is like looking at the internet through a keyhole. My experience is that internet browsing becomes enjoyable at 4 inches and above. My previous phone was an HTC HD2 which in the last few months I used with a Gingerbread nand rom and fell in love with android. And the HD2 was quite a good piece of hardware. But...I dont regret changing for the mini pro. I find that the mini pro's camera is better and also sound quality is better than that of the HD2. I also love the hardware keyboard which I use heavily. Currently Im using the mini pro with the stock SE rom - rooted and with xrec and removed bloatware. Cant really make up my mind about going to a custom rom because I am afraid of loosing camera quality.
All in all the mini pro is a lovely thing. The only thing that really gets on my nerves is the poor battery life.
Soon will be released Xperia Mini with 3" display, and other upgrades. I had my last phone (W810) for 4.5 years. Now the X10 mini will last probably a few more months.
The minis would have been perfect (if such a thing exists) with a 3 inch screen and at the very least HVGA and not QVGA which limits the apps you can download. I mean how stupid is that.

Believe it or not, the mini sound quality is way better then from SE Arc too (when not connected to headphone i mean), but i can't beat the Arc camera though
hi its my first android handset from 2003 , i'm sony ericsson pocessor, in two months back i had vivaz U5i but i loved my X10 mini now with its functionality it's a good phone for me only SE wont upgrade to gingerbread (android 2.3) and i love stock menu's and functionality.
the dialer , the home screen , its icons , i search for anyone has ported any thing from stock rom to MINI CM6 or 7
I had been a Windows Mobile user for the last 5 or so years, but I wanted a change to the "future", to an Android phone, but I didn't want to go all out on a phone I could end up not liking, so last October I went with an x10 Mini Pro, not only is it a cheap device, but it packs quite a punch for it's size, there's pretty much almost nothing I couldn't do on this little one besides flash sites (skyfire with vid plugin solved it), and play a couple of games, (PvZ for eg, all others seem fine, even fps games).
All I can say is that this device gave me such a good impression and introduction to the Android platform that I'm waiting for a SGSII to arrive this week, as this shortie did it's job, for 139€, no contract, I can't really complain of any of the features, and while the screen might be small, well, it's a Mini version so I expected the short screen.

Hi,
I'm looking for a QWERTY Android phone and the Mini Pro caught my attention.
Should I buy one? Should I wait for some other releases (HTC) ? Any other suggestions?
Sidenote: Can I install the latest Android on it? 2.2 I think.
Only 1.6 available for it atm. I think SE wants to officially release 2.1 or 2.2 sometime in September / October.
And what's you suggestion? Should I buy it or should I wait for other releases/brands?
It's a cheap device. And it's not the best if you're a power user.
I'd say wait for the HTC Desire Z if you can afford it.
I need the QWERTY keyboard, which the Desire does not have, from what I can see.
Any other suggestions?
The "HTC Desire Z" is a new phone *with* a QWERTY keyboard, also known as the HTC Vision:
http://www.slashgear.com/t-mobile-g1-blaze-aka-htc-vision-spotted-again-2695266/
Any idea when it will be available in Europe? Or any approx. price-tag?
It will be a GSM device.
I'd say about £500 unlocked.
Same price as the Desire when it was released.
And probably released in Q4.
hi rad-misu, could you provide us with more information on what you actually want in a mobile phone?
the x10 mini pro is very small and i like to use it as secondary phone (and android toy), but i wouldn't want it as my main phone. Since i prefer a larger screen etc.
FYI US Version available.
Purchase online from mobilecityonline.com.
They also have a retail store in NYC.
just picked mine up.
If u r a power user, the screen will be small for your eyes. I am x10 mini user. I love the phone (perfect for me), coz all I did was to make and receive call with occational web browsing.
I'm coming from a 1st gen HTC Touch Cruise and am looking for a mid-range device, something decent, not a state-of-the-art-tons-of-money gadget .
Android, QWERTY, browsing, and yes, a bigger screen would be a plus, but I can't seem to find any device with this specs at the moment. Am I missing anything?
The new Desire seems to be more on the expensive side.
I had a Touch Cruise for a while, actually, but couldn't stand WM and even less not having a keyboard. Before that I had lots of Treo's, and after the Touch Cruise I had a Blackberry Bold followed by a G1 which I happily used for almost a year, until I switched to a Mini Pro last month. So I know my smartphones
I loved the G1 for everything except the size and weight, and it was lagging sometimes. The Mini Pro offers me all that the G1 did but in a much better hardware package: small, lightweight, plus it looks terrific.
I can't be bothered that it isn't running a more recent version of Android, frankly I don't miss any of the new features. And I do consider myself a power user that tweaks and bends the configuration of my phones all the time, and uses the Mini Pro as a phone, browser, mail machine (both Gmail and Exchange), GPS, MP3 player, and what not.
If you don't fancy a big screen, then the Mini Pro is the best Android smartphone available today.
Being an IT guy, and not wanting to travel all the time with my laptop in my backpack, I bought the X10m, and it's enough to do a little vpn/ssh to diagnosis and repair some common servers faults.
Although the screen is little, the battery ( provided you use data/3g/wifi/gps only when needed ) lasts good, and it doesn't disturbe my pocket to handle it
For me, the best android phone right now ( small, lasts long, works good ).
That's exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm a webdesigner and I want a small device for some debugging on the go, ssh and so.
How is the browsing on this device? Any problems with it?
Phone-wise: Any problems with reception and/or calling in general? How fast is email? Any lagging in general operation?
As far as i know the X10 mini pro is one of the few devices with Android ánd QWERTY so your choice is already limited.
I've experienced no reception problems. Wifi is a bit weaker compared to bigger devices such as my laptop etc.
The wifi "problem" is understandable.
What about the RAM? How fast is this device? Any problems on this side?
On another note: what about the multimedia? I won't be using the camera too much, but being a Sony I suppose it takes (at least) decent pictures. (?!)
How is the music playback? External speaker especially.
Thanks for all you replies! Greatly appreciated!
Camera: LED flash and 5 MP but the picture quality isn't as sharp as my SE K810i (3.2 MP+Xenon Flash )
Music playback didn't test, but the external speaker and ringtone volume is extremely loud!
The device operate very smooth, no hangups. The low resolution of 320x240 make the devices operates quicker imho.
specs and review can be found here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10_mini_pro-3147.php
On this dutch written site they review the x10 mini, it includes some benchmarks which speak for themselves.

From what I can see those are pretty good results compared to those pricey high-end devices. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hello all,
I have an x10i and im quite happy with it but am unsure wether to get an x10 mini for my missus any advice would be much appreciated.
it would be on an 24mth contract with 3 in UK.
Excuse the blasphemy....
I'm looking at getting a HTC wildfire for my Daughter... also on 3 in the UK..
Depends how "tech" your missus is... if she just wants a phone that runs well and does it's thing without too much intervention.. then you might be better off going for a HTC Wildfire or Legend - they're a lot cheaper on contract than x10.. and fit a ladies hand better too (!!).
and the 2.2 upgrade has just started being rolled out to the Legends in the last couple of days..
I hate to say it, but get her an iPhone...
In my experience, the added awesomeness of Android leaves the majority of the fairer sex with little idea what to do with it. (see note 1)
The lack of customisability of the iPhone seems more suitable in these cases...
Now aside from that, there are heaps of advantages over having two phones on the same platform (and/or by the same manufacturer) e.g. shared peripherals, increased communication options between the two phones, etc.
Now assuming the wife is a little more tech savvy than most, then get her the x10 mini - keeping her on the same platform is a good thing...
Now, with the daughter, still get her an iPhone - all her mates will have an iPhone, all kids do these days.
Note 1 - I'm not saying all the fairer sex have no idea what to do with the added awesomeness of Android - there are both men and women alike who are in the either category - this is just in my experience. The real question is whether Android is going to make things better or worse for this person...

To be fair, he said the X10 mini, which would work perfectly well as a phone for a nontechnical woman, and fits far better in the hand than any HTC.
mini just looks cute but is matter of tastes, I wouldn't buy any other SE

Are you sure? The mini won awards for the best phone released in 2010 or something like that, and is one of the best reviewed smartphones out there. If you're basing your opinion on only the X10i/a, they're not comparable products, not in the same target audience.

None of my daughters friends have iphones (yet!) they're only 11.. and apart from anything the iphone (on contract) is ridiculously expensive.. hence the suggestion for wildfire .. my daughter likes to take pictures and the mini pro doesn't have a great camera.
if she use the phone for the camera htc wildfire hill be a BIG disappointment, i had wildfire for a weak so i know... the display is horrible ... very pour detail, camera pics on pc not a big diferece =blurry
a lot of nonAndroid phones have a better camera Lg arena for example..
My suggestion better to get X10 Mini Pro instead of X10 Mini.
I bought one for my GF, which is not tech savvy.
I give her to play with my X10, then i found its hard for non tech savvy to typing in punctuation and numbers with android touchscreen keyboard.
My x10 got smashed and my wife is letting me use her x10pro small but nice keypad Ill be glad to get my x10 back but this is a great wee phone. So yes get your wife x10pro and your daughter iphone.

couldn't agree more, X10 mini pro is far better than the X10 mini, for a small screen it will be harder to type and sometimes annoying, but with X10 mini pro she'll enjoy texting/facebook/twitter more
I had an X10 but bought a Desire...not because I was fed up with X10 it's just how things played out. Anyway they're both great phones but i'd probably say choose desire because it's more up to date...also more widgets come with it and I just prefer the interface but your wife should really be happy with either. What I pointed out is just opinion based after all....maybe let her play around with both and see which she likes the look of better...

You should be extremely proud to have raised a child capable of free thought and not one of the typical sheep like youth of today.
And I say that with absolute sincerity
the camera on the X10 mini and Mini pro are in general better taking pictures than the X10, they get less blurry than the X10 and are way more fast.
I had by myself the x10, the mini and the mini pro, and I had both the mini and mini pro for taking pictures and recording videos, the video FPS seems higher than the X10 on both minis.
So go and get a Mini pro, because texting in mini is quite a hard task
X10 Mini is meant for people with very small finger.. hahaha
My company secretary also have X10 Mini, then i month later i show her my GF X10 Mini Pro before i gave to her.
I can still remember how she swears and cursing, hahaha..
...that the Xperia X10 is officialy the flagship smartphone of sony ericsson.
How many of you are planning to keep it, at least until the end of this year?
Also, is it just me, or do I like the looks of the X10 better. Although it's a bit 'fat', I like the layout of the buttons and how it's less curved than the Arc. I also do like them a bit chubby
Anyway, long live the X10! Hopefully there will be some devs who stick with this phone and keep it getting better, but it's now the end of quite a crazy era for probably the most controversial android smartphone ever made.
going to stick with it for a while but doubt to have it till the end of the year
I will have to keep it till the end of the year Im 15 and bought a stupid phone... I readed many reviews that said this phone is great and WOULD GET MULTi tOUcH. It's Dual Touch, and that sucks. Afterall we didn't get any upgrades. But since the x10 gets gingerbread i'm going to bay end this year/begin next year another S.E.
S.E. her phones are just fully functional. All apps work, great functions, calling is really good. They make phones + services that make a phone something you can call a ''phone''.
Im gonna stay with it till next year, thx to the devs of xda that made that phone a good android phone that will be able to keep up with other androids such as desire, galaxys and nexus, hope sony will really keep their promise for gingerbread on x10, i doubt it but hey long live the x10
staying with it till it drops dead! can't find a reason why i shouldn't...does what it has to do till know..
I'm sure that I'll stick with X10 at least until 2013 lol.
The design is just beautiful and I don't splash cash every one or two year to "update" my phone
Same with many posts above.
I will use this phone for a long long time. I may even keep it as an antique 20 years from now as this phone had a meaning for me.
I had doubts with this phone before, but the devs made this phone great.
Like they made it less sluggish and just much more brilliant than when I first got it on 1.6. I got this phone the first day it came out and sticked with it until now because I was a big sony fan. (i'm not sure if i still am, as it was a wild ride from the first day)
Honestly, I don't see the point of owning the latest phone out anymore. I mean they purposely make these phone less than perfect so you will buy another phone every year or so. It's called planned obsolescence.
The X10 looks great, the camera is good and it has decent capabilities. I don't have an incentive to buy another new phone for another couple years.
Ive got my arc today! ;-)
i think we will really have everything we need in a phone with the X10 after the ginger upgrade
i don't see a need to "upgrade" and pay for a newer phone just because it's newer
reasons:
the camera is not that much better, if better at all
bigger screen (and bigger phone) than 4" is a CON for me...
i think the X10 has a very good screen even with 65K colors (and that may change with GB update)
full multitouch - hm...i don't even use the dual touch and when i do, i use it on games and that works just fine
512mb of ram over 384mb - doesn't really make a difference, at least not on gingerbread
WiFi hotspot - barnacle works just fine and i think with GB it'll be native
front camera - not usable where i live so thanks...
Faster cpu/gpu - OK, MAYBE this will be one noticeable difference but still, i think when our devs polish SE's GB it'll be within 5% speed difference in real usability, maybe not in benchmarks, but i don't play benchmarks
i don't really use HDMI (nor do i have a TV for that matter)
i don't care about built in radio
we will also have flash on x10 with GB update
i don't know if i missed anything but that about sums it up that FOR ME, the new features are not needed so for now i'll stay on x10
I voted for option #2, but I'm getting the Galaxy s2 after summer, depending on how good the 2.3 upgrade is really
I was thinking of going to the Incredible S or Optimus 3d but with the X10 getting gingerbread and SE offering a version with an unlocked bootloader, I'll be getting neither the S or 3D and sticking with SE.
With that said, the Arc and Neo don't offer enough for me to replace the X10 (only considered the S because of its 768 mb ram, front cam, and rear cam that comes close to the X10 but not enough of an upgrade either).
I'll wait for SE to bring out a dual core scorpion or a single core Krait (with adreno 3xx series).
What makes this even more difficult for me is the whole AT&T and TMO-USA status. Are they going to share 3g towers (tmo users able to use ATT's 3g bands?). It would be hard to justify 5-600$ for a phone just for it to be useless on 3g the following year. The only pentaband devices I know so far are Nokia's S^3.
I will keep my x10 until my region gets covered with LTE, then i will change phone.

No reason to upgrade, the phone does what I need it to do, except be able to make calls in loud places!
I really don't see any reason to upgrade.
Granted, if I had money to spare, I'd certainly be tempted.
But if you combine my current unemployment with the upcoming GB update...
my X10 still has a long life ahead!
Getting the latest Google version officially from SE is plain AWESOME.
I do appreciate the effort put in custom ROMs and I have tried a handful of them,
but I believe that my device is at its full potential only on official firmwares
(at least until the bootloader gets cracked/bypassed).
i choose option 3!!
i'm actually looking to pass the x10 on to my wife, and get myself a Desire HD. there is just something about that 4.3" screen that is tempting me

I definitely won't have X10 till end of year as too many great toys will explode before then.
Somehow, I seem to have preference for SE designs but only Arc looks good of the 4 new SE phones that are announced. Arc has very little to offer in terms of hardware improvements over X10. That to me is a big let down by SE. Maybe, they are not targeting these new phones for current X10 user base. These new models might be more to attract new customers towards SE by keeping the phone price low.
I wish Arc had the specs of Galaxy S2. I might still end up falling for Arc when I get to see it in person but that is only because of larger screen and sleek design. Or I might go low and buy Galaxy S2.
Did anyone try Samsung Focus? I thought the 5MP camera on it actually takes much better pictures than our X10. I am hoping Galaxy S2 might also be having a camera as good as Arc if not better.
Guys, the BOOTLOADER HAS BEEN CRACKED
This means that the X10 CAN AND WILL be as smooth and as functional as the Xperia Arc! This is AMAZING!
I WILL be sticking with my X10 until 2013-2014, or until there's a major update that will revolutionize phones. The X10 is as good as any 2011 single core phone, and is cheaper, and still has a great fanbase.
Long live the X10!

What is the difference, in terms of what can be implemented ? (I really don't know, I'm hoping you do)
Well... just in a way out of curiosity - what made you think "This is what is missing in my life" of the X10?
For me it was a friend who showed it to me and I tried it - and almost immediately fell in love with it.
Actually this is the second best phone I have owned. The best is the Nokia 3210 - that phone could withstand some serious beatings and "falling-out-of-the-pocket-onto-the-asphalt"!
1. I'm 17
2. Need an upgrade from the LG Vu
3. The chick who sold it was hot
4. Phone looked sexy and was a MAJOR upgrade to a smartphone
I got conned into buying it by the rogers sales man, personally I would have liked to do some more research before buying the phone
I never had a smartphone before my X10. In the past I had feature phones from Nokia, Motorola, and then I had a Sony Ericsson Z525 which I liked.
When the Sony Ericsson X1 first came out, I was impressed. I wanted it, but it was not offered in the United States though one of the major wireless carriers here, so I just kept on using my Z525. When the X2 came along, I thought it was unimpressive so I didn't think about that one much.
I saw videos of the X10 around the time of its release and was impressed by the custom UI so that started up my interest in the XPERIA X-series again. Then as Android became more and more popular, I kept hoping that it would make it to the U.S.. When it finally did, I picked one up for $50.00 (U.S.D.) and have been happy with it.
It's a nice evolutionary kind of product for me. I used to use a PlayStation Portable for mobile gaming, listening to music, and videos. And I used a Sony NAV-U for navigation. Now my X10 is my main portable music player, it's great for watching videos, I have some casual games installed on it, the camera is okay when I'm without my usual digital point-and-shoots, and the free Google Maps/Navigation can't be beat. It's also great to have around for general Web stuff.
The only bummer about the phone is being tied to AT&T:
Who will never offer firmware upgrades to their Android 1.6 X10 customers
Who has no inexpensive unlimited data plan
I'm using the SE generic global 2.1 firmware right now which suits me fine, and I'm patiently waiting for the 2.3 upgrade. The phone may no longer be a high-end device, but it's still sleek looking, has good build quality, performs decently, and does what I need it to do.
1. Loved the design
2. I've been an Ericsson/Sony Ericsson Fanboy since the 90s.
3. I originally wanted a desire but that wasn't available on my network carrier.
4. I've wanted a smart phone. Could never afford UIQ phones (nearly bought an M600 once), never liked S60, WM or ios so Android on SE was a god send.
free and the camera
Its design, white color, and the "Sony" word..
1. Camera
2. Cheaper then the desire and sgs on craigslist when I bought it
Truth be told as soon as I'm eligible for a upgrade through rogers I'm selling my x10

Sony always works great for me. Since I bought my first Z500 almost 10 years ago.
i had a crappy galaxy i7500, needed a new high end smartphone, xperia x10 was a good choice, under circumstances had to get it used, it was the cheapest used high end smartphone i could get, at $200 for a pretty good condition, i'm pretty happy by my purchase

My first smartphone, and I knowingly bought it when I knew it was at its end of the life cycle because it was relatively cheap (350 bucks without plan) and was fast and sexy, and I saw the support XDA had for this smartphone.
It was love at first sight.
I would have gone for the captivate for ATT but it was too expensive at the time. So i got the X10 instead. I am glad i did it in the long run cuz of the upcoming release of gingerbread and the camera. I personally love my X10.

It never came to me that I need to buy anything larger than Sonyericsson T303, and never came to my mind to buy an x10 mini, but when I was looking for a new phone, I see a couple of good review about the x10 mini, so I bought one. after a month or two I find it hard to surf the web because of its size, and my Post paid plan contract is ending soon, so I aquire the plan with x8, which is like mini, only larger. I get used to it.
So I was thinking, X10 mini have decent camera, but small in size, X8 have larger display but lousy camera, so I trade it for X10. I was thinking of HTC Desire HD, but finding it too big. I was also eyeing for defy but x10 screen is larger.
So there, X10's journey to my life is not that easy nor complicated. I think this is what we call destiny.. hahahaha...
June last year i wanted one of 2 phones, desire or x10.
Was my first android phone so no research was done.... doh
I ended up getting x10 cus the desire looked so wide like a brick.
Now i wish i didnt upgrade on my exact due date, i should of waited till more phones were released.
However i still love my x10 but only thanks to xda community!

First, it looks cool and has relatively high specs.
Could've got a SGS but my mom has one already, and it's not as good looking compared to the X10.

hello guys, easy question
Are you happy with this phone?
I'm hesitating among several qwerty phones but the lack of development is doing me reluctant to buy any of them.
These are my options.
Anything important problems or issues not solvable i should know about this little device?
I love my mini pro.
I used to have a x10 mini pro, then when SE released the SK17i mini pro I brought one in black, but I dropped that and broke it and replaced it with a white one. I can afford to go buy any phone but I just like my mini pro so much I'm sticking with it.
Only negative point really for some people might be the screen size being a little small for playing games and watching movies.
the keyboard is perfect, I can easily type without looking at the screen. the phone is great for daily usage and some casual games. it can get a bit laggy while surfing on the internet though.
It's a great little phone. You can't really get better for the price.
The xperia pro would be a fine option as well, but it's just plain ugly, and I really think the Mini Pro handles tasks better because of it's lower resolution, which also means something for RAM usage.
BTW you've listed the Relay 4G as one of your options. I'd say go get it. As some member said, it's now officially supported by CM, which is way better than Samsung's Touchwiz.
