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..

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...

Mini pro easly.

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.

Mini pro beacause of the phisical keyboard and removable battery!

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.

hey all, just got my hands on an x10 mini pro (dirt cheap, 25 off a mate ) its for a xmas present for my big brother. im wondering what i should do with it. is it really worth rooting these? they are pretty nippy as they are, and i doubt my brother will use it for games, just as a phone, alarm and music player really. is it really worth rooting/modding these phones?
give me your thoughts please. thanks very much.

Go through the X10 Mini/Pro forums and read those FAQ, it's definitely NOT a bad phone IMO, I got X10 Mini, X10 Mini Pro, X8 and now Xperia Mini Pro, nearly all are great for their value, as 2nd hand phones.
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 was searching for a suitable phone for my cousin sister and was recommending her the Mini Pro. Now her budget is increased and we checked out the Ray as well as the Motorola Defy +.
Any advices on which is better. She will stay on stock ROM (maybe I can change it for her once in a while) and is going to be normal user.
Mini Pro seems good but Defy + is having larger screen at similar price. Ray also seems good but more expensive and screen in between.
Mini pro should be the best if she can accept its 3" screen.
Personally,I feel XMP's performance(stock) is better than defy+,such as playing games and normal use(smoother).
And maybe she relatively cares about photo function,then I think Ray is the one.
The mini pro are god cellphone has a keyboard , for write most faster , but the xperia ray have more roms , best quality of screen has a screen of 3.3 with fwvga , the defy has more big screen , but look the pros of a cellphone xperia:
You can overclock up 2.0 GHz

God quality
Is your desicion Men !!

I suggest you go for Xperia Ray
Mini Pro may be a bit small ,and from what I have heard girls like to have a huge screen. If you actually notice a common complaint from every Mini Pro and Mini users is that the screen is too small .
But if she is very much interested in having a physical keyboard then Mini Pro is the one .
Moto defy + has a dust proof screen ,better resolution than Mini/Mini Pro .But there are some bugs with it and I have heard of it switching off and freezing alot . Do check out a few reviews .
Personal Opinion- Xperia Ray
I'd say the mini pro or ray. They're both more stylish than the defy+ and seem less laggy. I mean, since when are benchmarks going to matter to regular users? If she wants a better camera, go for the ray. If she prefers a keyboard, go for the mini pro. To be honest you can't go wrong with all 3 but SE usually puts less bloat on their custom interface.

Bravia Engine,Good Proc,Slim,8mpx with Exmor-R and many others

Hi guys, After checking around, I decided to buy the Mini Pro for it's frontal camera, extra internal memory and keyboard.
But still have a question though, i don't care about typing messages with the keyboard, but I look forward to use it as a gamepad.
I just watched a youtube video where a user is playing GTA III using the keyboard as a game pad. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly1VVZfarLw )
So here is my question: Is it true for all games, some games, or rarely the case?
tnx.

Hi dudes, I have the X10 mini, and think of Buying the "Xperia MINI" for the 720p video camera, and the 1Ghz processor, as for the screen.
But I am wondering if it's worth it?
Or maybe should I wait for the "Xperia Mini 2"? Thinking maybe it will have 1080p camera and dual core processor?
I read about it here:
http://www.affineontech.com/sony-xperia-mini-2-the-successor-of-xperia-mini.htm
Tnx for answers and enlightments about the subject.
Hello,
The Xperia Mini (Pro) is the successor of the Mini X10. So, this IS the Mini 2, it's just not named like it (they removed the X10 from the name).
This article has to be older, because the new one does have a 3" Display, where the X10 just had 2,6".
The 1ghz processor is really fast, it's enough for myself.
Also, the Xperia Mini is just a few months old, so there won't be another new model that soon.
Get the Xperia Mini (Pro), it's worth it.
Edit: They're also talking about the Adreno 205 GPU, which the new Mini has.
Btw.: They're talking about the single core 1ghz processor we have right now, no dual core.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Just one final question, is the difference between the x10 mini camera resolution and the Xperia Mini Camera resolution noticable?
I mean, on the asus transformer, the 720p camera does not give the feel of HD, but more of a normal 480p camera when shooting.
tnx

this would probably makes you want to buy xmp even more!
I would say Xperia Active or the Live with Walkman. I enjoy dropping my Xperia Active in the water It would be hard for me to get a "normal" smarphone again... Maybe they make Sony Active this year?
Ok guys it's done, thanks for your help.
