Hey guys... Don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but over in another section of the forum I posted a question as to whether or not this phone would work at 3G speeds over on T-Mobile USA's network...
Anybody know? How slow would 2G transfer speeds be if 3G didn't work?  |

@Bonovox
Sorry for all the questions- want to know whether it is worth upgrading to this from the old x10 mini!
How are you finding battery life on the new mini? Is the mini that you got from carphone warehouse unlocked and runs unbranded software? e.g no orange icons etc
Thanks a lot

This phone is definately unlocked, as it is SIM Free which means it's not proivided by a network but by the phone manufacturer/retailer. In fact all Carpone Warehouse phones are unlocked whether on contract or PAYG as the last phone I bought was unlocked as it was on orange and when the contract ended I put an O2 SIM in it and it worked.
I'm just waiting for it to be sorted out on PAYG as they are advertising it for £149.95 but have no networks signed up yet. This is how they get phones early (i've not seen it in any other high street retailer yet even SIM Free) but obviously have to wait for the networks to sign contracts for a new phone (only 3 of the big networks have signed up for pay monthly deals at the minute) |

thanks s1dd0, I assumed people here had bought it for £149.95 already did not realise it was only available sim-free at the moment.
Good to know carphone warehouses phones are all unlocked also, many thanks |

OK yes mine is unbranded unlocked sim free. So far I am finding no bugs and crashes which is good. The Mini is super fast in use and has a lovely bright sharp screen. So far battery life has been good. After only first charge I was away yesterday in a day trip. Time I was away was between 9am to 3am next morning. In that time I took 225 photos,browsed the net for say 20 mins made 2 short calls,used GPS once sent 20 texts and made 2 short videos. Also used Geo Tagging. The battery by 3am this morning was down to 19%. Not bad. Audio quality is good not the best but that could be crap headphones in the box. Signal reception is rock solid compared to when I had the Arc as I had full signal on T Mobile driving through countryside in Norfolk. Call quality is loud and clear. Build is good nice and sturdy except small creak at bottom of battery cover. No lag at all during usage not even after boot up. Screen sunlight viewing is excellent. Has nice new themes and some new apps and some nice little touches to UI. When screen turns off it looks like a tv set going off. And now to the bad point. Camera is average at best. Imo SE cameras are getting worse in quality. Why I don't know. Shame really but judge for yourself in photo thread.

It is a big step up in terms of specs & performance,feel & looks. Just not a step up in camera department sadly Imho  cameras are getting worse since Arc,Neo now Mini's. Samsung Galaxy S 2 is the one to beat lately in terms of image detail. And still Nokia N8. No doubt the Pro will be the same camera

Here (Netherlands) you can get the Mini Pro for 230-260 euro and the regular Mini for 190-220 euro (depending on the store)
With a contract, it is completely free with a 2-year contract, and I paid 29,95 for the phone with the cheapest 1 year contract (including unlimited internet) |
