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

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.

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..
Hello! I used to use iPhone3gs and loved it. Now I moved to another country (South Korea) and I am getting a new phone. My use of iphone3gs was quite limited:
1. Wikipedia offline
2. Google map (I often get lost.)
3. Dictionaries (I need good dictionaries of Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Korean)
4. Sync with Google mail, contacts, and calendar
5. Music (I listen 4~6 hours a day including podcasts and video watching), Podcast, and some videos (iTunes U was fantastic)
Now, I have two choices: X10 mini pro or Motorola Milestone. They cost the same, but Milestone comes with 16GB micro SD and a bluetooth headset.
But I love small and light form factor of X10 mini pro, and with smaller screen (resolution), I think X10 mini pro will run much snappier. I have not seen or used either mother, though.
I learned xda-developers site from my brother, and it's lovely and impressive! Maybe you cannot choose which to buy but I am sure you could give me some advice if X10 mini pro will do the job for my main usage!
Hi,
In terms of perfomance both phones are equally well but since u come from iphone so milestone would be better suited to u since it has a better screen than mini pro,moreover lots of devs have already customized the milestone, while for us it might just be the beginning of fully loaded roms....besides why dont u consider DesireZ or xperia pro as an option since they are new and somewhat more powerful and at this moment, milestone or mini pro are both getting outdated as I myself am gonna switch to sgs 2 or optimus 3d
All the best for ur new phone

Sorry for incomplete post,
1) If u use wikipedia apps then for reading, mini pro screen is not too well suited although not too terrible but its just ok. And reading pdf files might be a problm.
2) If u use maps too much then take another phone, mini pro is good for socializing but its battery drains a lot quicker when using data....
3,4,5 ) All these factors are easily met by mini pro.
If u have a well cashed wallet, then choose a better phone as android industry is evolving quickly and mini pro might suffer so its not the best bet to get a mini pro(not future-proof atleast)...but if u have are short on cash then blindly pick up a mini pro as it is every mans phone..

Thank you! I thought X10 mini pro might be a better choice because it probably be much faster due to its smaller resolution but after I considered your advice, I think Milestone may be the better choice for my use.
The reason why I don't go for the latest phone is because older phones like Milestone and X10 mini pro offer much better contract that they are practically free and they let you choose any kind of plan. I just can't be chained! That's why
But is there contract system in south korea???? Gosh I didnt know that,ur quite lucky I would presume
All the best then
Sent from my X10minipro using XDA Premium App
Yeah, people usually buy latest smartphones with 24 months contract. If you want a real good one, flagship models, they may force you to use an expensive data + call contract for several months. Of course, if you cancel the contract before 24 months, you should pay quite a fortune.
This may sound normal to some people, but I really don't want this kind of contract. 2 years with a same phone seems a prison to me. lol That was why I had to chose between Milestone and X10 mini pro since they offer a contract with only 12 months and you can chose any type of plan. These phones are also free, so if you cancel it before 12 months you just have to pay a commission, not the price of the phone. The problem is this kind of information is always internet only. Normal? people go to a shop to buy a smartphone and they pay a lot more! (and be happy anyway)
iPhone changed the ecosystem of mobile communication and this is the first time I try android. I am pretty sure I will be satisfied with xda-developers forum!! I hope that explanation of Korean cell phone contract system amused you a bit.
I ordered Milestone and am waiting now!! (It's Sunday night here)
Its quite amusing btw there are a lot of quality roms for milestone with iphone killing features.......hope u'll get an experience....enjoy ur new toy. ;-)

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
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...

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 all!
I'm an xperia x8 user with the basic (or some more) knowledge about Android. I really like MiUI, but my phone is weak to run a MiUI smoothly. Five or four weeks ago i saw Xiaomi M2' hw specs and price and found it awesome. My Q is: What do you think about this phone? Do you trust Xiaomi and shipping partners? (I wanna do)
Share your opinions please, I'll thank y'all.

I ordered from realpricesfromchina. Will let you know if I get scammed :laugh:
M2 looks really nice. So far this year I jumped from 4s > xperia s > one x > s3 > iphone 5 and now I want to go back to android. but i'm in love with MIUI and this M2 phone specs and looks are pretty good. Price is cheap for such a high end spec'd phone.

hey guys, I use the Xiaomi M2 and it is a great phone. It does not have google play on it but its easy to add and does not require root. The screen is crazy good (especially comparing to my Huawei Honor) and it's just so quick. I'm not a huge fan of MIUI but some really love it.
Anyway, despite the fact that it is currently sold out in china and unavailable for sale anywhere else, I got my hands on a few of those. So if you're interested you can contact me. I'll sell at same price as the website mentionned in the thread but you will not have to wait until March or something to get it and I can use paypal so that you are protected against fraud. I'm also a former powerseller on ebay and am selling in on eBay too but at a higher price to cover eBay fees.
Selling it for 450 on ebay, can do for 400 here.
I hope you don't feel it's a spam, I know how hard it is to get a hand on this phone...almost as hard as the N4...
