In the beginning I had not much love for my x10 mini pro (coming from a p990i).

But now I know the phone more and with the android 2.1 update + cool applications from the android market I can say:

YES, this phone rocks!

but I must admit I took me almost 2 months to get this far


grtz

I never got the chance to own one since after the X10i I bought from timtechs I have replaced it with the Galaxy S. My friend told me though that his X10 mini pro rocks and how the regular X10 mini can't compare to it

I'm loving 2.1 so much.... I can leave wifi and GPS on ALL DAY and it hardly eats up any battery! Camera's Twilight mode improved too!

3G/HSPA still chews up a lot, so I still need Juice Defender for that. But it's so nice to be able to actually leave on all the functions of my phone now!

Not on my non-PRO mini. Even with around 30 min talk per charge I still get 3 solid days on a single charge even with 3G+Data enabled. Depends lot on the signal quality you get (I guess mine is much better than yours).

Hey Arne, ya, I've noticed very good battery improvement... I've gotten rid of Juice Defender and I seem to get the same battery life anyway.

I have to note that I am on push email for 3 of my GMail accounts, as well as Facebook & Twitter updates. Kik and YM are also active. I get quite a few emails per day so it does eat up battery quite a bit. Calling isn't as bad as anything else that needs the screen.

Autosync for all Calendar accounts and full contact sync is also active.

So my data connection is in use most of the time.

I guess if I disable background data, that would really extend battery life.

It's nice cuz the 2.1 update has really boosted the usable battery life of the phone.

I still need ATK however, I tried uninstalling it but with the background services, it really helps keep some of them in check.

Why do you need to sync your contacts on a daily basis ? Loos friends frequently ?

With or without background services, that's not a good sign. No ATK shall be needed unless you have installed buggy apps,
Never used an ATK and haven't had any issues related to memorymanagement at all.

Oh, I manage my contacts on Gmail. I rarely enter a new contact or appointment on my phone directly. Everything is managed from Gmail. And my friends change phone numbers often... bad habit of prepaid (PAYG) culture here in the Philippines... everybody keeps hopping SIMs, it's annoying. So when they change their info in Facebook, I don't have to ask for their new number anymore or edit their entry

When I receive an email on my desktop for a new appointment, I just click accept and it syncs with my phone. I don't like having to manually sync calendars when a new appointment is made. I just manage all my appointments from my desktop/laptop

ATK is just there as a desktop widget in case certain apps hang or start eating too much memory. It's my Ctrl-Alt-Del ... or Apple-Option-Esc

Yeah it took a lot of work and software upgrade for me to be happy with my Mini Pro ...

Finally ... I'm happy now ... the phone rocks ... just need to be careful of what applications I download ...

Applications have too much access in the android system ...
