[Q] Choosing android phone with keyboard - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
I must replace my HTC kaiser with a more up-to-date phone...
I need it :
1 - to have a good replacement android rom
2 - to have a physical azerty keyboard
3 - to be configurable as a 3G modem for my linux laptop
4 - about 200$
I was thinking of Xperia mini pro
What do you think about it
Thank you, in advance, or your comment

SE xperia X1 with Touch pro interface : cooked rom

Hi guys,
This is my first post and I hope that my question is relevant.
As (probably) many of you, I am very interested in buying the htc touch pro. Nevertheless, I guess that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is also a good phone comparatively to the touch pro.
I like the touch pro interface and the Xperia finishing touches. A mix of them would be perfect for me!
Besides, the xperia has been manufactured by htc.
So my question is the following : would it be possible (for experienced persons), to cook a special rom for the xperia based on the htc diamond or touch pro rom ?
Thank you in advance for you answers!

this forum mainly focuses on HTC devices, but you never know someone may be willing to do so.

The Xperia is a HTC device hence why it has a forum here
We are more likly to see a Touch HD cooked onto the experia X1 as it is the same 480x800 screen as the HD. I don't think the touch flo3d on the touch pro will fit the experia X1.

Is it possible to migrate X1 ROM to Touch Pro so Touch Pro can use X1 interface? I'm using TaskFacade but seems it not quite smooth by experience. [Same questions of using Omnia Interface on Touch Pro]

[Q] Mini or Mini Pro ?

Hi
My question is : which is the best : the Mini or the Mini Pro ?
In fact, I can have the Mini Pro for ~250$, but I can also have the Mini for ~200$, both in black and ~50$ lesser than the Pro (during this week only, in belgium). What I'm afraid of is : with the Mini, the battery is not removable, and with the Pro...well I think i'll never use the AZERTY keyboard because I'm used to the T9 for sms and almost everything else.
So, What do you think ?
Thanks in advance for your advices
If you have small finger, go for Mini. But if you have big finger, go for mini pro. It's a little bit bigger than Mini.
I went for the mini pro and i've found that the keyboard is pretty good.
So good in fact that i've turned off the t9 input completely.. it only takes a second to slide out the keyboard and type what you need..
The SE t9 input looks nice but i don't think it is very effective, at least compared to the other t9 keyboards/keypads i've used (this is a personal opinion, some people love it).
So, i would suggest the mini pro unless you really need a slim phone.
I have both nd I find them both easy to use its all down to preference on which u choose but u will b happy with either one

So, don't you think that the not removable battery of the Mini is a problem ?
@stluciasound : No, my fingers are not big .
In fact, I've tried them both, I'm impressed of both, and the only two things that makes me doubt are the battery (not removable in the Mini) and the keyboard (in the Mini Pro), well and the price too, lol.

I have had both and i use now my pro, both phones is nice i only use pro because i write much and then is the qwerty keyboard best

thanks to all
my main issue is the unremovable battery of the Mini, because I think I'll never use the full keyboard of the Pro...
So do you have battery problem with the Mini ?
Finally, I'll wait about a month to buy the Mini Pro.
Even If I don't use the AZERTY keyboard very often, the battery is removable, just in case... (and the 2.1 should be out ^^)
i have both and mini is more beatiful , batery isn`t problem for flashing etc. if you don`t use keyboard buy mini !
go for the mini lighter better looking battery not an issue and why buy a touch phone if your gonna use a keyboard;

[Q] HTC Tattoo vs. Xperia X10 mini pro

Hi, I'm an old Imate JAMin user and I'm thinking about shifting to a newer device. I need a good WiFi connection, a touchscreen and decent battery timing. Can someone tell me how X10 mini pro compares to HTC Tattoo, I am being offered either at the same price. Which would you pick?
I know about Tattoo's QVGA display but do you think its worse than having a slider phone (I had to change my N80's slider strip thrice so I don't know if sliders are a good idea)
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help
Cheers
I Think
Sony Ericsson x10 mini pro
its will be better

I too am sick of fixing ribbon cables on slider phones.. so I wouldn't go for the mini pro (as this has a slider, sure to fail) the mini (E10i) on the other hand has no moving parts.. I think the Tatoo only has a 530MHZ CPU (the mini and mini pro are 600MHZ)
the mini and pro boot loader is locked down by sony ericsson.. so if you are really into hacking and modding I would go for the Tatoo (however we can do a lot of cool mods without a hacked boot loader)
Personal taste.. but I think the mini/pro is higher spec in just about every area than the Tatoo.. and designed much better. another option might be the X8 (a bit cheaper, slightly bigger higher res screen, lower MP camera but otherwise the same as mini and Pro) and seems to be heaps of DEV support on here too.
Good luck with your choice.. and if you go for a mini or a mini Pro we are always here to help out.

SE Mini Pro
Enough said.
I had both firs htc Tattoo and now mini and mini pro.
Performance: pretty much the same.In both cases Qualcomm processor (mini 600mhz,tatoo(530mhz)
Display: tattoo has biger one but display on xperia is better(24-bit 16.777.216 colors) and camera too
Physical keyboard huge advantage
Look: well its up to you, but my vote in general goes to xperia
Thanks guys, really appreciate your advice and help. Cheers.
