Low price, depending on technology, very small, knallbra music phone.

Screen set limitations, long waiting for Android 2.x upgrade
[color="#8B0000"][size="3"]Very short[/size][/color]
Sony Ericsson is a very good purchase. For the 2500 kroner (384.410 USD) here is a smart phone with Android, and has everything you could ask of technology. It's all packed into a tiny phone in just 88 grams. Screen size of 2.55 inches will be the biggest turn off for many.

I am currently in the posession of both the X10 and X10 Mini. And it is the Mini I'm using all the time. I think the price is right. It is cheaper than a W995 in some stores. The X10 Mini is a winner model for sure. |

[center]Again a new review from a Norwegian site Amobil 
********************************************************
We Love It..!

Menu System: Android 1.6
Firmware: 6/2/1929 1.0.A.1.36
Price: 2500 NOK
In short:
Positives:
- Charming small
- Good custom menus
- Favourable price
Negatives:
- Previous Android-generation
- Small Screen
X10 Mini makes a better first impression, but unlike the X2 will get the good feelings to last.
X10 Mini is surprisingly small, and gets us to think back to a bygone era of small, exclusive phones Siemens SL55 and Ericsson T66. The rare cool phone, Neonode N2 is a phone you think of when you see an X10 Mini.
When we are only waiting for us a bit smaller and newer version of X10, then that is Sony Ericsson instead floppy with a real delicacy.
We are fully aware that there are other relatively small phones, such as small slider phones that Sony Ericsson's own W595, but the X10 Mini is still out as a little charmer of a touch phone.
Super Thin X10 is the Mini, but it is in turn well in hand.
Love is Blind
It's just nice to take Overture by the horns and admit it right away: the screen is small. No surprise, considering that the X10 Mini mildly modest vital data.
2.55 inches means that this is not the phone for you that will see films or will have the maximum overview with lots of information packed on the screen.
The screen is small means that the pixels are sitting tight, and the screen seems so sharp and high resolution. Although there is no AMOLED class of this TFT screen works fine for most of us.
Successful plastic surgery
When we tested the X10, we were only partially convinced of customizations Sony Ericsson had done with their initial Android excellent menus.
This time we think they have succeeded notch better. The small screen makes true that there is no space for multiple widgets on the home screen at a time, and you get only one entry appeared on the cover of Timescape in the initial screen.
Unlike the last time it's Timescape this time relatively quick in response, not to mention stable.

In short:
+ives:
- Well-equipped for the money
- Good battery
- Quick in response
-ives:
- Complete navigation software in the trail period
- Doesn't read the Office documents out of the box
Conclusion
+ Rarely charming
+ Very compact
+ Do what you need at a reasonable price
+ Good Android menus
- Screen size must suffer
- Not for techno-freaks
A few points of appeal X10 Mini is that the menus are based on Android 1.6. Now it is version 2.1 which comes as Sony Ericsson is a bit behind right here.
In practice it is not certain this is so important. The menus are as I said, easy to use, the phone is stable and you can easily install a host of applications and games from the Android Market. When the phone is also quick in response, we have little to complain about.
