So i've had my mini pro for 6 motnhs ar around tha and it got stolen not long ago. no trackings apps althyough i have contacted operator and had it blocked. My next phone may not be mini pro so i'll see you guys around. Thanks to slade, d4, emaya and the rest of you guys. loved it to bits but gone now
sorry brother! good luck for the next time
sorry to hear that mate, well, new adventures I suppose!
that was sad
Just to sort of update you guys... Got myself a new Galaxy Ace, i'm not sure why but i'm sort of glad i lost my mini pro now, got a slight upgrade and only paid £80 for it
And luckily for me, ICS is a bit more stable on this one. One of the devs might wanna take a look there. HW Accel. is working

sorry for my English (Google translator), but too early to bury our phone
Really unbelievable, dude!
I have done so many bad things with this phone: experimenting with drivers, flashing and nothing happend during more one and half year.
I had in my hands Glofish x700 that was bricked on 2nd day, fortunately had jtag guys closeby
I think during production of i780 was diversion from htc that they put malitious code and many of "Mirage" (i780 factorys name) became timebombed and spreaded around the world.
Actually i780 was first Samsung sized 320x320 with ts and keyboard , so I can imagine its more experimental and same time EXPENSIVE looking model in old samsung style "business. made in korea. battery made in japan", thats upgrading was broken up by world crysis company project...
Omnia I and Epix, young american i780 brother, came later and more developed than i780. But whats wrong with epix? It has new keyboard shortcuts but doenst has samsung task manager poor at&t capped, if want - was a nice phone!
Just seen many Omnia 1+ till upcoming Omnia 4 they are not standing close by impressions(toy looking, cheaper materials, samsung/msm processors- economy class with "Pro" preffics?). Sure bigger amoled screen is part of deal!
Dude Im not about your choise. b7610 is really nice phone. But question how do you answer palringo when driving? Its so hard to slide and write on it with one hand
I love this small smart more than phone speedy undead handy and keeping waiting for wm7 phone
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.

My daughter and many of her mates now use android. They seem to be switching as they get older lol maybe they need to use a grown up os.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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...

Thanks for all your responses looks like it will be the X10 mini pro

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..
Okay, there are two things I need to straighten out with most of you, and that is "2.3 official ROM" and "Multitouch"
An actual official 2.3 Gingerbread ROM? Keep dreaming. Ain't never going to happen. Custom ROM's are the ONLY WAY you'll ever see a 2.3 ROM on these phones.
Multitouch? Sure, change the hardware in the Mini (and Pro)(mostly the digitizer, but could be more) and you can have that multitouch. There was one reason why Sony Ericsson chose NOT to throw in better digitizers on these phones: it's size. Try squeezing two or three fingers on these small 2.6 inch screens and play a game with it. Next to impossible, right? Yeah, there's the answer. If you really want Multitouch that bad, sell that crap phone and buy a ZTE Blade for near 100 bucks.
Read it, understand it and accept.
If you don't know what I mean or what I say here, then don't waste your energy writing a reply. Kids these days..
someone is frustrated and is regreting buying their mini pro?
c'mon man, most people here know why they bought their minis/pros, they are pretty decent phones, in my country it only came to the stores about a month ago (i got mine in april), and its a great offer compared to other phones.
i see you regret you didn't buy zte in the first place. well, those aren't very similar phones (yes, zte is better), so i guess you haven't done a lot of thinking before buying mini pro. so now you're mad cause people ask these things, but not everyone is so informed.
but instead of freaking out, you should have told them that there are several very good working custom 2.3.5 roms that are way better than stock, and are a perfect way to turn a nice phone into an even better one. when i show my friends my phone they ask how i've done, so they start to mod their own phones. a couple of nice vibes is a good way to broaden the android community, and we need that.
no hard feelings man, but i thin you're making an unnecessary fuss...
Why do you need to speak that?! There are too many people happy with their x10 mini (pro), with custom roms the experience feels much better. Why do you speak like that?! If you are furious with your phone, just throw it on the wall and it will break, but Im satisfied with it and I think you should close this thread.

yup....GB officially is NOT comin 2 the little ones!!!...i thrashed SE on their FB page for this and they took down the post within 30 minutes!!! and guess wat, it had more than 1000+ "likes" hits within dat short time!!!!...dey r pulling dere hairs off updating the bigger x10 2.2->2.3->Multi touch -> FB inside xperia and wat not and left us out in the wild just because those di*kheaded morons thought of a sequel ....samsung's service is WAYYYYY better!!!!!
Yes, I must admit, samsung's support is way better than SE
It's obvious because samsung is a giant electronic company compared to SE
I'v been SE fans since their K500i released
And the mini, is not that bad, I buy it because it's fit my needs, it's size
And I too a little bit disappointed because no further support for mini, but fortunately this site is giving me a cure, so kudos to nobodyAtall
And my future phone would be the xperia mini I guess.. well who knows I'll change my mind and pick up samsung's android
We have dual touch in the Mini Pro. 3 fingers on its tiny little screen is just impratical. Its hard enough playing fruit ninja with 2 fingers on it, talk about 3!
Hi all,
I did not see a thread on this when posting, if there is, it's labelled as something very different...
I've the 2010 Mini and want to buy the 2011 Mini - the one you guys have. It's useful to ask around for problems/happy features about the phone first...
So what do you really like/not like? Your phone is getting upgrade to ICS as well...with decent specs like that you might make the next update, Jellybean too. But how's your phone going?
Thanks

If you want to buy xperia mini then go ahead buy it..it's a great device for a price..you are coming from smaller display..so you are not going to have any problem with 3 inch display..display is awesome..so do other things are..keep in mind that some minis were defective so get new stock they are not defective..if you get defective model then go to service center they will fix it..now there are plenty of roms to try..so if you get boar to stock rom then there are plenty of Roms to try..in my opinion you should buy xperia mini....

ya the problems that mini had were fixed by the calibration fix Sony brought out promptly. and it's much better than the competition, you know that from your research!
That's great to hear...that's exactly the kind of stuff I've been hoping to hear!
Yeah it's a 3 inch screen and my bro has the Xperia X8 which also has 3 inch. but it's so much more compact in the Mini...and the Mini is so hot! Nevermind the upgraded features and good specs for future updates...
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=19513
i don't know whether you realize it or not, the mini comes without the front facing camera.. first i thought it was a standard spec of all 2011 xperias, luckily someone point it to me just before i decided to go with cheaper mini. i use skype a lot.
Yeah it is a shame it doesn't have the front camera. The Xperia Ray does, and when ICS comes out for these devices, we can use that face-unlock. The thing is, that is really a gimmick. As fun as it is, as much as we want to show everyone the face-unlock, I don't really need it, though it is cool.
Good point about Skype though. I use it on my laptop but not on my phone. I'm interested in the extra camera etc. on the bigger Xperias but some of them are a bit pricey here and all of them have the same core features e.g. the CPU, GvPU, RAM etc. and I like that about the Mini, a lot of power in a decent 3 inch screen!
hi guys,
i want your advice...
i've got a chance to trade my x10 mini pro to a new in box Xperia Mini Pro and pay a 150$ in difference?? do you advice me to go for it ??? please advice ASAP in order to not lose the deal
thank you all!
This is my idea (please listen to others' advise before you continue)
Now at the moment a X10 mini pro costs about 60-70US$ (just an approximate)
because you are giving a used one so it will come down near to 40-50$
So how much is the new Mini pro? (checked out @ gsmarena that it is about 130$)
So.......you do the rest of the math and decide if you really like to go for it or not.
Absolutely my idea my thought, let someone help you on this.
Regards and congrats!

well they will buy my x10 mini pro for 75$ here and they will give me the mini pro for 240$ which means 240 - 75 = 165$ to be payed!
you cannot apply gsmarena prices in my country as we have a lot of high taxes on everything! so 240$ is the real price in Lebanon for the mini Pro and 160$ the brand new x10 mini pro.
what do you think mate ??
That is a big holy cow to your price! Hmmmm..... i dont know bro. but if you are paying less than the market price then ok. Is that new pro a used phone? then it will be less than the market price.
Someone here might have some answers. because i can't tell you how exactly this will work. and i have no idea on swapping phones.
Sorry on that part.

that is a new pro bro! i'm almost convinced of buying it soon i'll join the 2011 mini pro community but i'll miss this community
Don't think twice bud,just buy it
personally i will get it if its brand new. reason is the x10 minis dont have ICS not even GB, better specs(?) and a new toy to play with.

I agree! go on it minachvim
hmm the mini pro actually has a great, in progress, ICS rom by paul-xxx now.
I think it would be worthwhile to keep the mini pro and maybe get an amazon kindle fire instead. So u can have the best of both worlds. Small screen, ICS, portable mini pro and a large screen, multimedia tablet kindle fire
