Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

“Overall, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini will appeal to some, but we don't think it will be the typical Android user. As you can get this phone for free on low cost contracts, it is likely to appeal to younger users and we feel that Android makes it much more versatile than other low cost feature phones. However, you have to really want a mini phone, with low cost Android options starting to appear more frequently given you more variety in this area.”

“The X10 mini pro with its keyboard costs $46.71 more than the mini. But like the latter, the mini pro has great usability, snappy performance and a well-designed user interface for the tiny display. Some may say it doesn't provide the whole Android experience, but for a tiny phone that can easily slip into any pocket, we haven't seen anything else on the market yet that comes close to what the mini pro provides.”

“At the end of the day, the X10 Mini is a great device that certainly will meet the needs of many users. If you are after small form factor, this device is perfect. If you also find that you aren’t going to be writing lengthy emails or text messages, once again, this device may be for you. However, if you’re looking for a full qwerty keyboard, you may want to look elsewhere.”

“If you’re looking for a tiny phone, packed with enough power to glance at what your friends are saying, and pull out Google Maps or another app in an emergency, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini is right at the top of the pile. It’s smoother than anything from INQ, Nokia or Motorola for a similar audience – it’s just a shame that you’ll pay a fair whack for the privilege, when you’ll have to squint more.”
