I also have the phone and haven't had a bit of bother with it, perhaps the issue was fixed by an update.
I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

well there's a solution then - they fix it if necessary!
as the guy in the O2 shop said he's never seen one back.
if I typed "problem with [insert name of any phone here] phone" into google I'd get plenty of results.....

OP - thanks too - will be looking into this!
I don't know. I registered with fatcheese for the first time, searched for O2 offers, clicked on the prepay offer which took me to the O2 site (a page about a galaxy or something).
Then I just navigated to the mini and bought it.
I wasn't sure that I would get anything back but about a day after buying it the €22.50 shows up in my fatcheese a/c under O2 (it says I should get it in March)...

I have the mini pro... Never had a problem with it, but the camera (which I assume is the same in the mini) is terrible. So if you want a good camera look elsewhere

Personally I think the camera is decent. Its vastly better than the E71 I had before and better than the old X10 Mini. It not as good as some of the 8mp but then its a lot cheaper.

What phone has a better camera for €99 or less?

5mp, autofocus, focus mode, touch capture, white balance, geo tagging and image stabilization, face detection and smile shot, flash, 720p Video with continuous autofocus.

I think you might be thinking of the 'O2COUPON' which sadly no longer works.

battery life is decent - like any android phone if you are using games, apps and the internet a lot it will drain the battery quicker. if used just as a phone it will last 3 days easy.

there are over the air official updates on the phone but the sony ericsson version of android 2.3 on this is pretty good. if you want to get technical you can root the phone and install a custom version of android but that takes a bit of tech no-how - no real reason to do tho imo.

I have one and love it, amazing little phone and ideal if you want a sexy machine that is not as big as an iPhone.

Just got mine now. Are you meant to get a couple of replacement covers for the back of the phone?
