Cons

Screen is not crisp and vibrant, small screen and low resolution, inconvenient for long text input, old Android 1.6 OS
The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini lacks camera editing options and its small size can hamper usability. The volume level is rather low.
Limited screen size, Timescape UI is passable, Not for power users
Couldn't use other handsfrees with this piece, Camera settings were inaccessible on this particular device
Despite the inclusion of a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, the X10 can at times prove rather sluggish especially when auto-rotating.Look and Feel...
A bit too small for some, non user replaceable battery
Small display, Nonremovable battery, Too compact for large hands
Small screen makes some tasks fiddly, Text entry will be difficult for the stubby fingered.
Small screen is not great for browsing
No QWERTY, Messaging characters limited to 160, No flash support, Battery is irreplaceable, Video recording needs improvement, Relies on Zoom due to very limited screen size (web browsing)

For a box price of just over Rs 13k, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini is a phone worth considering. Assuming of course that you are comfortable with the tiny (well, we are being spoilt by those 4-inch displays) display. The performance is very good. The...

It is one of the cheapest Android phones which will compete directly with the HTC Tattoo, Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 in the budget end of the market. It is a decent buy, but on that budget, I would be leaning towards the Samsung Spica...

I like the X10 mini solely because it bucks the trend of giant, 4+-inch devices and is proof that if we can have big devices on the market, then we can have equally tiny devices. Having used the XPERIA X10 and X10 mini, I prefer the X10 mini. It's...
