Xperia X10 Mini & Mini Pro

squire23 · 14-05-2010 05:46PM #1

Been keeping on eye on these since they're launch at MWC. But does anyone know when they might be hitting the Irish market or on what network? I've googled everywhere & can't find one bit of info other than that they're expected to be released in the UK on May 24.

x10 mini supposed to launch on o2 here in about 2 weeks , not sure of exact date as yet

mooneyd · 16-05-2010 06:51PM

I would expect to see it on any net that releases the x10

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini
Launching May 2010
Style this mini Android phone with a free red cover.

Nice. Hopefully they'll be carrying the Mini Pro as well - that's the one I;m really looking for my wife

squire23 · 27-05-2010 01:23PM

Just rang 2 Vodafone shops about the date for the x10 Mini - honestly, I think being an idiot is an actual requirement to work in these places

Why? chances are they haven't been given any info about them from Vodafone so they aren't going to know about them

I have a normal X10, tbh I'd steer away from Sony Ericsson.

We're still waiting on 2.1 and its gonna be at soonest September. After that who knows how long till 2.2 (which came out last week on other mobiles). If you want Android get a phone which runs the stock version.

Raekwon · 28-05-2010 01:24PM

It was officially launched 2 days ago so should be hitting stores next week.

I wouldn't bother though, it is going to be fairly pricey and only has a 5.0MP camera, Android 1.6 and a none removable battery.......so if the battery dies so does the phone :rolleyes:

Sony Ericsson would really need to pull their heads out of their arsés because there flagship devices (Xperia X10 & X10 Mini) are streets behind HTC. Hopefully their next device will have them at least competing with HTC on a software level.

I am a Xperia X10 owner BTW.

@Raekon: Personally the X10 Mini is not for me but since I got my HTC Legend my wife has been really impressed with what you can do with it & now wants an Android phone but needs a keyboard of some sort (16-key or QWERTY) so at the moment it seems that really the X10 Mini Pro is my only choice for her

MiCr0 · 13-06-2010 02:55PM

its now available on vodafone

Oafley Jones · 13-06-2010 03:15PM

Also, 3 and o2. Surprisingly it's getting really good reviews, far better than it's big brother. Strangely half tempted now, reminds me of my Nokia 8210.

got the x10 mini last week on o2, love it, to text its a bit hard, but you get use to it

What's the battery life like?

ldr · 13-06-2010 09:08PM

2 full days, thats using the radio every day for about 5 - 6 hours or the music player.

That's the other question I meant to ask, how's the reception on the FM radio?

ldr · 14-06-2010 04:03PM

the reception is very good, (comparing to a portable radio), i move around alot at work and the reception stays good.
the sound is pretty loud, even playing mp3
the alarm doesnt go off if you turn off the phone.
the camera is good (alot better comparing with the 3.2mp 5800)

squire23 · 22-06-2010 09:32PM

Looks like the Xperia X10 Mini Pro is being launched on June 29th in the UK - hopefully it'll here soon after

squire23 · 25-06-2010 10:26PM

Rang O2 today & confirmed that they will be carrying the X10 Mini Pro in a bout 1/2 weeks time. No pricing yet though

OI · 25-06-2010 11:17PM

Looks like a lovely phone i have to say.

Mr Keek · 26-06-2010 09:13PM

@LDR

How do you find Call Quality, I'm hoping to pick up the Mini Pro myself but I'm a little worried about the Phone being so small and the fact that the mic isn't very close to your mouth when it's up to your ear!

Has any of the people on the other end of the line have difficulties hearing you?

GrumPy · 26-06-2010 09:43PM

Bought one on Friday. It's excellent. techreader have an online review that's v. accurate imo.

I have an x10 on Meteor network and have to say its a great phone. Dont think its available direct with Meteor but is through Carphone Warehouse. Only 1 complaint is battery will only last 24 hours but not big problem as charge every night.

Puma5 · 27-06-2010 06:41PM

Oh and 8.1 mega pixel camera is excellent.

davehey79 · 28-06-2010 12:46PM

X10 is on Meteor and they will also be getting the X10 Mini Pro soon. Was in getting my Desire on Saturday and saw the bundle of cards for the displays and the Mini Pro was one of them

Yeah also confirmed today with Meteor in Dundrum that they'll be carrying the Mini Pro - they had no idea when but the fact that they had the cards means they should have it soon

Did you mean 5.0 mega pixel camera? Only the larger Xperia X10 has an 8.1 mega pixel camera, both of the mini's have 5.0 mega pixel cameras.

Meteor have verified on Facebook today that they'll have the mini from next week, and the pro later in July.

They really need to either scrap their official forum or start updating it and start responding to people. A poster asked if there was news on these phones three days ago and still hasn't received an official response.

Tried to buy this phone on three from 3 different carphonewarehouses yesterday, none had it. Still slightly concerned about reports on battery life.
