does the mini pro have the email view where half the screen is for email text and the other half for list of emails ,like the neo pro?
Considering how small the screen is, do you really think the split screen mode would actually work well?

@caubethach Neither the Mini Nor the Mini pro supports the multitouch. That is the reason why it is not mentioned. -Josh

@HxH
The comment of caubethach on youtube is stupid.
Watch Rogs handson video 1.28 you can see how multitouch is here.

No multitouch support for Xperia mini and Xperia mini proWTF????
??
But in Rogs Handson video he did show us that Both Phones have MultiTouch
Confusing
Posted by odoylefm
They both have multitouch according to gsmarena:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini-3947.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php
Would find it hard to believe if they didn't - this is 2011 and these are feature-rich phones.

Thanks, I knew it have
I wouldn't believe my eyes if it actually was an answer from
correspondent team.

with right rendering and text reflow it would be very possible

For anyone who was still in doubt:
Comment from SE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM4NiWitX7U):
@Katsis68 I previously posted that the Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro do not have multitouch. This is was not correct. The phone you see in the video above does have multitouch support. Our Xperia X10 mini and Xperia X10 mini pro do not have multitouch support. Sorry for the confusion -Josh
Posted by HxH
Oh! I think that possibly someone inside
must observe this site, that answer was posted 6 days already and until I notice it couple days ago and they just finally get it fix.
Thanks for report

Can you not read two posts above you?! Apparently it supports MT, he mistook X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro for the new Minis!

i think xperia mini has secondary camera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDDpN0PF9nY
look at its camera interface. there is an icon to switch camera at 4:57
Posted by tranced
Apparently there's one. Even it can be seen. I was gonna say that was the led indicator, but the indicator is located at the top.
This feature is just mentioned in the Xperia Mini Pro white paper. Don't know.

I'm going to have a hard time deciding between the Xperia Mini Pro 2 and the upcoming S2 tablet. I've already decided that I don't really need an Android smartphone *and* a tablet - so it's going to be one or the other
Posted by aaliyah15
Sony Ericsson do have some good news with mini and pro to rejoice after all that loss

German recommended retail prices for mini / mini pro are 239 / 269 €, so it's safe to assume they will launch at a market price of just over 200 / 230 €.
Very good price for these phones I'd say.
Posted by Alihosny
No News?

Nada.
Other than the price... saw it on play.com today for £240...
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/M[....]/Product.html?searchtype=genre
Oh yeah... and they say an August 5th release date. Not quite the June date that O2 are still promoting

How is the video-recording quality?
Is it Neo quality or Arc quality? Can someone please test?
Posted by tranced
These phones don't have Exmor-R sensors. So the quality is not the same.

FCC has just published test results of Xperia Mini Pro.
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=339197&fcc_id=%27PY7A3880104%27
The Startup Guide is one of the published materials (08 user manual part 1). The phone overview shows that Xperia Mini Pro has the front camera.

The debate was whether the mini has one or not, not if the mini pro has one or not, since SE has already stated that the mini pro has one.

Sony Ericsson and PopCap Games had made an agreement, that they'll give preinstalled games for the later manufactured Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro smartphones.

Congrats ,first impressions.
Posted by kewsvnet
mini pro or mini??
would appreciate it if u could do a quick review on it when u get the time.....i really wanna get the phone as well
Posted by hihihans
Tell us all about it!!!!!!!!
Posted by yuunanase
Here are some images.
Some first impressions:
1. The screen is really nice and bring. It is on par or even better than Arc/Acro.
2. Speaker is loud, louder and less distort than Arc/Acro, about the same as X10/mini
3. When connected to the headphones (I use a pair of ATH-CK100), the amplifier is better than the Arc, which does not have enough power to drive them.
4. The feel of the keyboard is great, much better than the old minis, however, the spacing on the top row is not quite enough.
5. Ran Quadrant tests, constantly getting 1500+, where my arc only reaches 1300~
6. Touch screen sensitivity is excellent, even more responsive than Arc/Acro.
7. Front camera is ok for taking photos, haven't really tried video calls.
8. Not really much improvement in the camera department. It is about the same as the Play/Neo.
9. The LED notification is ok, but really wish that it is on the light ring like the Ray.
10. The feel of the keyboard is great. Much better than the old mini Pro, however, the space on the top tow is still too small.
11. Really love the screen off animation.
Firmware 4.0.A.2.335
Posted by kewsvnet
wow...i m really loving the sound of this!!!!
could you try and test out the camera perfomance a bit more compared to arc / neo especially in low light coniditions...and may be post some comparison shots?
as that is probably the one factor i m looking for deciding between this phone or waiting for xperia pro
