Learn About The Xperia X10 Mini Pro
Global mobile manufacturers may be moving from large to LARGER touchscreen smartphones but Sony Ericsson has not forgotten about the compact smartphone market. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is a one of its kind with a compact 2.55 inch full screen display.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is very much similar to its thinner brother, the Xperia X10 Mini. They both come with a Qualcomm 600mhz processor that operates on the Android OS. The original OS that comes with the Xperia X10 Mini Pro is Android 1.6 (Donut). However, it is upgradable to the recent Android 2.1 OS (Eclair). The newer Android OS features fancy upgrades such as HTML5 web browsing and an upgraded virtual keyboard for faster typing.
With the release of the Xperia X10 Mini Pro, a common question roamed the minds of interested buyers. Why should I get the Xperia X10 Mini when the Xperia X10 Mini Pro comes with an additional slide out keyboard? The slight difference in thickness of the two phones measures 2mm, a figure that doesn't seem to make a difference.
One thing that made a huge difference though, is the slide out QWERTY keyboard. Sony Ericsson perfectly analyzed the ergonomics of a handheld QWERTY keyboard and strategically positioned the keys for an extremely comfortable typing experience. The effort has reaped them huge rewards, as positive feedbacks have been overwhelming.
The X10 Mini Pro interface comes with a "PlayNow" online store, a familiar Xperia gallery and Timescape for social network integration. In case you are not aware, PlayNow is Sony Ericsson's mobile store that sells games, music and applications. Timescape serves the same purpose as the HTC's FriendStream - It gathers updates from your friends in social networks and displays them on a timeline. You will also be able to link your address book with social network profiles.
As far as multimedia is concerned, Sony Ericsson has a long-standing reputation of delivering quality music. The Xperia X10 Mini Pro comes with a handsfree kit that removes undesired ambient noise, to provide you with an enhanced music experience. The phone also comes with a 5 MP camera for spontaneous image capturing. Video recording and camera modes also work to ensure that you are able to relive the memorable experiences.
Now here's the main question - Will the smaller screen of the Xperia X10 Mini Pro cause discomfort? We'll have to applaud Sony Ericsson for doing a great job on the interface of the cell phone. The navigation of the interface is well planned and you shouldn't expect frustrations from the smaller screen size. Most importantly, the adept QWERTY keyboard minimizes our usage of the onscreen virtual keys. On the downside, the lower resolution of the touchscreen deems the phone incompatible with a couple of applications from the Android store.
If you are on the lookout for an affordable smartphone that doesn't occupy much pocket space, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro will be a strong contender!
