Hi!
I'm wondering about what phone should I buy, and I'm really intentioned to choose SE Xperia X10 Mini, but i'm affraid that the screen is to small to many of the apps and games.
Can you give me your feedback about it?
Thank's!
As far as I'm concerned, the size of x10 mini is ideal for a phone. Of course small design means small screen.
I've been using a lot of apps the last couple of weeks since I got the phone and I'm not lacking the large screen size. Of course this is a mater of taste
Depends on what you'll be using the device for. For me, I've never got in to mobile gaming so I'm generally not bothered how a device performs/displays games. Apps-wise, I've not had a problem with the screen size for anything I've wanted to load so far. It is a small screen and the resolution is low when compared with more expensive high-end devices, but it doesn't bother me.
Thank's!
My choice is done!

Agreed!
Get the Pro because the keyboard is great and the size is not much different. Screen is fine for everything. I watch TV shows on it and its great, also web browsing is easy and not hard zooming in and moving around quickly.
I hope to use this for GPS navigation in car, screen might be a bit small for that, will test and find out...

I am planning on getting the X10 mini pro this weekend. I had prevously been using a TyTN2, QVGA screen, but about 50% larger physical size. Let's see how it goes!

What kind of app do you use to watch tv-shows? Did you find it in the market?
Screen size, resolution and processor are an ideal combination if a succussful port of android 2.2 is achieved by developers.
After rooting the phone and removing the unwanted app's, this thing cooks. The only regret I have is not buying the pro, although the keyboard does look dorky.

End of September??
No, end of september is for androïd 2.1
Nope!
Screen size is really nice!
I like the sharp screens (big resolution for small physical size)
My previous phone was nokia 5500 and player was Sony Walkman NWZ616 with 2.5" screen with QGA(320x240). Image looks really good on all of these devices!
Pro with HW keyboard is very good and size of the x10 mini/pro is real size of a phone, not the big fat TV/game-pad.
EDIT: This is for X10 Mini Pro

So, I've looked around for a phone and while I can get other phones like the LG P500 (Android 2.2 capable) or the Galaxy 550 (cheaper 2.1), the keyboard, the whole design and all, it has gotten to me. I have a low-end touch only and it really annoys me to type with a touch keyboard.
So I've been looking around for all the goodies around and saving all the files on my PC, all organized and ready to be used. So far I've taken care of:
- Rooting the phone;
- Installing Link2SD, from what I read, 2.1 can't move an app to the SD;
- Installing Skyfire 4 so flash videos work.
Now, slade has a fully functional ROM out. How beneficial would it be to ditch the phone's 2.1 for this or any other ROM?
I've been keeping my eye on the CM7 ROM as it seems to be 2.1, right?
So, long post short, what else do you recommend and how beneficial is it for me to dive into the custom ROM environment?
Thanks

It depends on ultimately what you want.
CM7
Fast
Camera LED doesn't work
CM6
Decently Fast
Most everything works (except Google Voice SIP and Angry Birds)
Custom ROM also doesn't have the SE SMS issue when a draft exists, it crashes SMS with the keyboard out.
angry birds works on both cm6/7
also sms app doesnt crash on cm6 when keyboard is out.
which version are you using?
Well, from slade's CM7 post, the camera is stuck at 0.3MP, right? I mean, I will be paying for a 5MP one. Is it fully working on CM6? Cuz I don't really care for the radio or ANT, will not be using those for sure.
Yes cm7 camera is still bad. In cm6 which is froyo btw it will work.
Sent from my U20i using XDA Premium App
Your latest CM6 ROM is flawless, CM7 has bad camera, that's pretty much all I'd notice. So installing CM6 will give me 2.2. I guess that pretty much closes the deal, I guess I'll take your hybrid ROM and wait till CM7 is complete. CM7 is 2.3?
Slade CM6's ROMs (there's 2 flavours) are the most suitable for daily use IMHO.
The camera issues in CM7 prevent it from being a daily use ROM for me.
Almost everything is working perfectly in CM6... only bug i've found is when playing music for a while, sometimes phone crashes.
The great thing about playing with dev roms is that you can always revert back to your stock 2.1 backup (or any other backup) if you don't like it. So give it a try, if you don't like it, just revert back... takes a couple of minutes
The backing up of the original ROM, is it with xRecovery?

Yes, install xrecovery... backup your current install, then play with dev roms until you're happy.... if you don't like whatever you've installed, then restore your backup with xrecovery again
Ok, thank you both, now, on to get the little thing!

I've tryed only Slade's CM6 V2 rom and found that the camera performance is noteably inferior to the stock rom. I ll be happy if proven wrong.

Well, my previous phone was an HTC HD2 which I ran with an android nand rom. Although it was quite a machine I find myself happier with the mini pro, the key points being the hardware keyboard, better 5mp camera and better music quality. Low points are the tiny screen and that the mini pro is slower and also the inferior battery life. Still though, I dont regret the change one bit
I mean, maybe better phones feel better, but I guess I am one of those people that won't feel good without the physical keys. I've seen some differences in prices from shop to shop, I found it a little weird. Like, 20€. But it's okay.
And MT is being worked on, I think awsomeness is on it's way

I just notice that Mini Pro's keyboard perhaps seems to be too small but in real life it is flawlessly useable.
My second note is that: is OK for English only - special characters are pain in the @ss.
Third notice is that: HW keyboard usable only when You using phone "horizontally". In practice I using phone in "vertical" position and if want to type, I must to slide-out HW keyboard, type fast, then close HW keyboard and continue work in this comfort orientation.
If You type much SMS or e-mail, HW keyboard is a _must_. If You browse web-sites often in 320X240 and every time You visit totally different places, typing fast also would be good - but this is real?
For me, my any other uses in "vertical" orientation - so I almost no using HS keybouard
Considering I am Portuguese... I've looked around, special characters really are a pain, but I'll find a way.
I think I can combine horizontal and vertical, I don't really mind the little screen. Internet will be seldomly used, MSN and Skype mostly.
Well, after trying a few keyboards, im still on the hunt for a decent keyboard that doesnt lag or totally miss letters when typing, so far ive tried the stock one, HTC-ime, Gingerbread keyboard from the market, the only one i got along with was the HTC one, but even then it still misses letters every now and then.
So what do you find works well on the X10? 2.3.3.
Hands-down, SmartKeyboard Pro!
I've been using it for almost a year now, it's so good, fast, stable,
supports themes and has many many neat features that imho make it stand out.
Smart keyboard is probably the best keyboard out there.
But there are others out there like Swype (which you can get from their website) and SlideIt. With these keyboards you don't have to type, you just move your fingers over the letters.
Top two keyboards would be Smart Keyboard Pro and SlideIt Pro.

Add another vote for Smart Keyboard Pro. I tried a bunch of different keyboards including Swype but always came back to it.
Default is on of the bests

Cheers guys ill try those out later today, as for the last 2 that say they like the Gingerbread stock keyboard, its not bad but it lags abit for me and is probably a little worse for missing letters when im typing/tapping fast.
im usin slide it on x10
im usin swype on sgs2
once u get the hang of it
its fast
Try better keyboard 8 .. it is very cool and customisable...
i would recommend thumb keyboard
I don't even really find smart keyboard pro that good..
Swype for me is much faster and better

Of course you don't!
In my view, you can't compare typing keyboards with swyping keyboards.
They are two different input methods.
I like Swype too, but sometimes it suits me better to just type and that's where Smart Keyboard had yet to fail me.

I agree, but I use swype and after "training" it to learn the common words you use it is fantastic, and you can always type with it as well as swype it, so its the best of both worlds!

I love the customizability of it, but I just find that it gets a lot of words wrong still when I try to type fast.
All personal opinion, many people hate the swype method of typing so it is probably perfect for them.
I just think that after using swype, I tested this one out and it wasn't for me. I was typing slower and making more mistakes
SwiftKey #1
World record holder for words per minute. It learns your style and predicts not only the word you are spelling, but also the next word. Many times I only have to type 1 letter and can complete an entire sentence.
If you ever have typed out an entire paragraph and deleted/lost it somehow, all you need to remember is the first word you started the paragraph with. Then watch as the entire paragraph can be duplicated by selecting the middle next predicted word each time. Especially useful on xda when helping noobs with the same question over and over.
I've used all the others, better keyboard, smart keyboard, Swipe, HTC.
Hi all. Long time reader first time poster. Question to you folks out there. I've read up on the Xperia Mini (+Pro). I'm looking for a small form-factor Android phone with a snappy(dragon) speed processor, and want your advice.
1) Would you buy the phone today? If not, why? I know there's bigger and faster, but I don't see on the market anything faster that's as small. I know Sony doesn't talk, but do we think there's a refreshed model coming out soon in 2012 that I should wait for?
2) I'm replacing my Samsung Captivate- can I do these things that I liked to do: a) easy to root/sideload etc? I don't flash ROMs, but do some Rooty stuff.
3) I like swype. Does swype run on the Experia Pro?
4) Suggestions on Mini vs. Mini Pro? I like swype, but if this thing is as small as it looks, should I be looking to get the Pro/keyboard version?
5) GPS never worked on my Craptivate. Does it work well on this phone?
I've got more questions, but I'll start with that!

I have the mini and love it. I have had no issues with it at all. in reply to your questions:
1 - would buy again. the Processor is fast enough. I've never had lag. Also it will get the ice cream sandwich update so the software will stay current on the mini for a while.
2 - I rooted the phone using superoneclickroot which took 1 click. But the latest software update for the phone may mean that root might not be available ~yet~ (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455216 ). If you're buying current stock then more than likely the software update to 62 hasn't been applied yet, so rooting is easy.
3 - I use swiftkey as a keyboard replacement, you can use any android app so swype should work too.
4 - How much do you really use the keyboard? I figured that one of the main reasons in getting the phone was for it to be small & lightweight, so the mini was the smallest & lightest, I used to have a Droid with a keyboard, but now don't miss the keyboard at all.
5 - GPS works fine. I think GPS issues were a Samsung thing?
I'm a mini pro user and must say I'm pretty happy with my phone. But to answer some of your questions I wouldn't buy this phone if I were buying it now, and it's only because I'd really like a bigger screen and perhaps a longer battery as well but these are in no way reasons not to go for this phone. In all my time using it I really had no issues whatsoever and can't find any remarks why not to choose this phone besides personal preference.
The rooting is quite easy excluding the latest firmware which just takes some alternative methods to do, but is not in any way extra hard.
Swype can be used but if you take the mini pro you will most probably get used to the hardware keyboard and will at most times avoid using the on screen one as the hardware keyboard is way more comfortable and easier to use.
Also the GPS works really well, and the phone itself also includes a special module that allows the use of the new tracking technology implemented by the Russians (can't remember the name). So you will have acces to about ten or more satelites (compared to other GPS modules of other phones) which give you faster lock on and more precise measurements.
All in all this phone will not disappoint you, or at least it has not disappointed me.

Brov i would advice yu to get one... am planning of get one soonest too!!!
tha only hinderance about tha phone is dat its small but still handy!
1) Yes, I would. I really like my little phone... I have no idea if any successor is planned - but if so, I don't think it'll be as cheap as the mini/mini pro at the moment.
I also really like the stock launcher, I like the hardware keyboard, the form factor, the speed of the CPU. The camera sucks, the batterylife is mediocre and the display resolution could be higher but it's still a very good phone.
2) I'm quite sure yes. I broke my root with the newest update (but didn't really need it at the moment) but I'm sure the community will come up with a new root very soon.
3) I think so
4) AFAIK the mini does have fewer problems with overall reception (GPS, GPRS, UMTS, WiFi). But - I want the keyboard!! The screen really is quite small - I don't want half of it used by the onscreen keyboard. On top of it - I'm really a lot faster with the hardware one - feels good, works well. TBH, the mini never was a valid option for me.
5) Yes, it does work but compared to other phones the reception is quite poor in my opinion. I don't need it on a day-to-day basis so it's not a deal breaker to me.
Tha main truth is tha SUCCESSOR of dis phone cant be sold dat amount!!! i just love XMP.... I must get it!
If you are interested (and in the UK) I'm selling one. It has only 2 days use, and last night I unlocked the bootloader, put CWM recovery on it, and put NeoDroid's V4 ROM and kernel on it.
Advert here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477219&highlight=xperia+mini+pro
Indeed a nice little phone. Much much snappier since I put the custom ROM on it. Got it overclocked to a safe 1.2GHz and removed all the bloatware. Running it as my daily use phone for a few days to make sure there are no bugs.
I've had mine for a few months and would still get one.
The screen is small/low resolution, but it fits in my pocket and there's very little out with a keyboard here.
SE made it easy to unlock, so I have a custom kernel and have no problems with it set to 1.6GHz.
I didn't like the launcher at all with its corners thing, but that's easy to replace
Sorry- I'm in the US, would need a version that could run on AT&T's network bands

Custom kernels give a few more options, (Rage/KarmaRush) so something like setCPU or Tasker can set it to a higher CPU speed

Hello
1. I had an Xperia X10 mini pro, but bought an Xperia mini pro a few month ago. I am very happy with this phone and would buy the same again, if this one broke.
If you need a phone now, buy it now, It is a nice phone, the only problem I see is the that it can run out of RAM, but then get a kernel that supports SWAP, so you can get some paged memory.
2. I think that it is easy to root, even though it was easier on the Xperia X10 mini pro. The biggest problem is that you it is hard to switch back to the stock ROM. But Once you have tried CM7, will you never return (and CM9 is on the way).
3. I do not know about the Xperia pro, but I have not seen it on the Xperia mini pro, but there are very similar keyboards.
4. Personally I would never buy the Xperia mini. The pro version is not that much bigger and it actually has a very nice keyboard.
5. The GPS of the Xperia mini pro is working very nice here in Denmark. I actually use it as my primary GPS (even though I have a TomTom). I have seen some problems if I am too far out in the country and surrounded by big trees. But in exception of that am I very happy with the GPS of the Xperia mini pro combined with Google Maps.

You should try to install "GO Launcher EX" from the market.
hnl_dk thanks for dat info.... i think i ll buy it early nextmonth!
but yu talk bout Go Launcher EX, is it better dan tha ADW+??? but i thought Go Luanhcer EX is use for themes cos i use to see alongside themes.
Ok- I have to ask- what is with your grammar and spelling? I wouldn't mind if you said that you were not a native english speaker- where are you from? sorry.
I will start with the problems I have with Mini Pro
* Low resolution - You wont be able to play some games
* Small Screen -Nut can't take it as a big negative because its a MINI pro
As for your queries there is nothing in the current market which has the same or better hardware and is small .In the world of gadgets/technology it is normal for some product to be squished by a better one and it is inevitable so there is no use waiting for a newer one .
You can easily ROOT your phone ,there is a simple tool available - connect phone,click root and your done .
I don't think you will need swype because of the physical keyboard .But yes it will run.
Mini has no keyboard thats all .
GPS works without any issues .

They can both do themes, and I think there's free versions to try out. The difference is just preference, things like a few options or speed
I have no idea about XMP, I just used screenshot from the power button
I just recently got my SE Xperia Mini Pro, and I'm loving it. For the price I payed for it, I am surprise they are making a profit. My budget was around £250, I checked many phones and many didn't have the specs I was looking for. I needed a fast and good quality camera phone and the Mini Pro lives up to its standard.
Pros
Very fast phone, only crashes when you put it to the extreme
Camera is amazing, really surprised with the picture quality
Can run most apps and games without any problem
Hardware keyboard is really sturdy
SE has added Swype in the 2.3.4 update for the Mini Pro
Cons
Screen a bit small for typing
The outside feels like cheap plastic
This is a great phone for the price. If your budget is low, definitely get this one, If your budget is higher, a bigger screen might do better
anyone prefer the stock keyboard over the new SwiftX keyboard(the new Beta one)?
I have tried the Swift one for the last couple of days and couldn't bring myself to liking it... uninstalled it and started using the Rezoun'd stock keyboard again... much better....
(but I have long fingers... if that makes any difference)
i don't like swiftkey beta, and i'm a swiftkey user. i bought it when it was 99 cents and use it every day. i can't go back to the stock keyboard anymore!
Had swiftly on my dx. There is a density difference so on the resound the siwiftkey is so9 tiny. Stock is big with better voice typing and correction. Can I change long tap length tho?

The only keyboards I can ever manage to like are the stock AOSP Android keyboards. I really like the ICS keyboard.
I never really did like the Sense keyboard, I love the AOSP ICS keyboard though, it just seems to work so much better for me.
I didn't like Swiftkey. The autocorrection including spaces is amazing, but it is too quirky and needs more customization to fix the weird layout. I like Smart Keyboard Pro.
i have paid for swiftkey and i dont think its better than the stock sense one so thats what im using now.
I'm currently using the beta. I gotta say, I perform a little better on it, especially since I raised the height on the keyboard. At its stock settings, it definitely isn't large enough, so for people having that trouble, just raise the height, but otherwise, I find it autocorrects nicely. Since it learns over time, I save all of my text messages between builds, so then swiftkey can use all of that data to see how I write. When you give it time, it definitely becomes one of the best.

Me too, I've tried every KB there is and always end up returning to SKP.
Best keyboard I've found so far is the Go keyboard. It has "swift-like" functions, but I couldn't get used to it.
I like the HTC stock keyboard.
Coming from a DROID-X I find it is much better.

Stock HTC keyboard is terrible. I like Swiftkey a lot, I like the new ICS keyboard a lot too. Although the new Swiftkey beta doesn't seem to work well on XXX 4.0. Not sure if it's the ROM or the app.
SwiftX is scary good at knowing what I want to type

No kidding. I wish there was a way to combine the prediction engine from SwiftX with the keyboard from SmartKeyboard Pro. That would be the ultimate setup.

true, but even the large is too small IMHO.
I prefer the htc ketboard to any others. I've used swype, swiftkey, and ics. I was a longtime swiftkey user on my nexus device too.
The sense keyboard just works for me.
Rezound, rooted, loving it.
It's surprised me just how much I like the stock Sense keyboard. I usually don't use a stock keyboard, but since Swype isn't working for me I decided to stick it out, and it's really grown on me.
I'm on my DInc right now (only reason I'm on these forums is because I just ordered a Rezound ) and it's running Evervolv ICS Alpha 1, and honestly, I don't have enough extra RAM to run swiftkey :/
If it's a good day, after clearing processes I will have around 222mb free ram, and with swiftkey, it dropped to around 160 free, and Swiftkey ran sliggishly on my phone anyway, so I just reverted to the stock ICS keyboard .
Swiftkey is great at knowing words you use and whatnot, correcting misspells, but just too sluggish for me right now, I'll try it again when I get my Rezound...
Prefer the stock ICS keyboard
That and Google Voice Typing -- it's scary accurate and you can see it type what you are saying as you say it!
