you're welcome @iamstevie
there are a few things I'm a bit disappointed in... but they seem to be (hopefully) addressed in the upcoming 2.1 and 2.2 updates.
most of them are software related.
I've also been testing out Google Voice Search and it's pretty decent... it plugs into other apps as well, which I will be reviewing next to really see how reliable and practical (the key word is practical, and not just to show off that your phone can do it when you wanna show your friends how cool your Android phone is... hahahaha) it really is.

Is there any way of making direct dial shortcuts to the homescreen on the X10mini/pro?
The X10 Maxi has this feature but can't find it on the mini. |

@angryman, I haven't found an app for that yet... the closest thing is the 'favorites' in the phonebook. You can place the phonebook in one of the corners and assign your favorites. Not quite one-touch, but it's the closest I've found so far. I use Phonebook 2.0, and even though it's a better phonebook... it's not as quick as the default phonebook (as ugly as the UI is) in terms of speed-dialing.
You can try searching the Marketplace using the keyword "Dialer" though.

You can use ADWLauncher on your X10 mini, since it brings the full-fledged Android home screen with many widgets and shortcuts.
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

Its a great app.

@mediar, thanks for the ADW app tip... very cool home screen replacement... I do miss the corner buttons though.
still testing it out... makes the Mini Pro a bit sluggish... but still observing if it's ADW or the app itself.
I do like the option of many desktops and widgets...
I do not like the fact that it makes the screen look extremely cluttered.
I do prefer the vertical app drawer scrolling more than iphone style horizontal one... what annoyed me with the iphone style "dots" is that you can't skip a screen. Vertical scrolling is way better specially with one hand.

you can edit the scrolling direction by going into the adw settings.
press menu in the home screen and drawer settings.
there are a dozen different settings to configure and also different themes. |

@angryman, thanks... I found those settings.
I currently remapped the home button to toggle between the app drawer and the home screen.
I only have 3 desktops, default desktop is the middle one, so that I have quick access to the left and right screens.
Main screen is Quick Search and Executive Assistant (this gives me quick access to SMS, Phonebook, Email, Facebook, and my Calendar w/ previews for all)
Left screen is 12-16 of my most commonly used apps
Right screen is just Timescape
**Some people don't like Timescape, I kinda do... here's a quick review I have on Timescape**

Malinda, does the screen stay off when you pull the phone away from your face? The screen goes black because when you hold the phone up to your face, the sensor shuts off the screen... when you pull the phone away from your face, the screen SHOULD come back on.

No I pull out from my face and see the screen to end the call. I have to push left hardware button to on the screen then I can see the call end icon in the screen in the right side down.
I think, this is the 1st phone in the world to end call you have to push two buttons

Hi Malinda, just to clarify, when you're about to end the call and you pull the phone away from your face, the screen does come back on or it doesn't? Are you using a different dialer? When I'm in a call and I pull the phone away from my face, the screen comes back and I just have to press the end call button... no need to press the lower left hardware key.
